The Space:
St Anns is a detached cottage-style, three-bedroom holiday home of charming character in the beautiful area of St Marychurch in Babbacombe/Torquay. The holiday cottage is within easy walking distance of shops, bars, restaurants and beaches. An ideal choice for family holidays, as there are plenty of facilities and activities in the area for children, including Babbacombe Model Village, which is just around the corner. Our spacious holiday cottage sleeps 6 in three bedrooms, (one double, one twin and one room with bunk beds). The bunk beds are more suitable for children, rather than adults. The house also boasts a private drive (parking available for 2 cars) and sun trap landscaped gardens. To the rear, the cottage has views over the Petit Tor Downs, Torquay Golf Course and Watcombe. The closest beach is Oddicombe, a 14-year consecutive winner of the Blue Flag Award and designated Euro Beach. If you choose to take the Cliff Railway, Oddicombe is a 15-minute walk or if you prefer the path Oddicombe and adjoining Babbacombe are a 20-minute walk. Other beaches at circa 15 minutes are Watcombe and Whitsand. Torquay is a 4-hour drive from London (or less if you speed!).

The house is laid out on 2 levels. Downstairs there is a sunny and spacious lounge with a 3-seater sofa and armchair, coffee table, smart TV and a piano. The dining room has a dining table and 6 chairs, and an armchair. The kitchen is well equipped including an cooker with gas hob, dishwasher, tall fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer, kettle and toaster. Upstairs the master bedroom has a king-size sleigh bed, large wardrobe, chest of drawers, rocking chair, and 2 bedside tables. There is also a wash hand basin with mirror above and a tall mirror. The 2nd bedroom has 2 single beds, wardrobe, chest of drawers and 2 bedside tables. The 3rd bedroom has bunk beds (new in 2025) and a chest of drawers. The bathroom has a bath with shower overhead, and a wash hand basin with mirror above. There is a separate toilet.

St Anns is a dog-friendly home. The area is great for dog walking including some dog-friendly beaches. There are some beautiful coastal walks: in our opinion some of the best views of the English Riviera coastline.
