Is Bosuns Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

The bunk bed room suits younger children while teenagers get their own single bedroom. Paignton Zoo Environmental Park is 15 minutes away. Splashdown Quaywest waterpark (12 minutes) is the UK's largest outdoor waterpark. Hollicombe and Paignton beaches offer rock pooling and sandcastle building. The harbour is one minute away for watching boats and eating ice cream.

For Couples

This property is better suited to families than couples. The three-bedroom layout and bunk beds are designed for family groups rather than romantic breaks. The central town location means it's busy rather than secluded. Couples wanting a romantic getaway would be better choosing a property with fewer bedrooms in a quieter setting.

Pet Friendly

Bosuns Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. The private courtyard provides outdoor space for your pets. The South West Coastal Path is close by for long walks with spectacular views. Torquay harbour is one minute away where dogs can enjoy waterfront walks. The central location means plenty of dog-friendly pubs and cafes are within walking distance.

Dave

Lovely cottage and owner very helpful.

Patricia

Bosunâ??s Cottage is a lovely, quirky, cosy, cottage a minutes walk from Torquay harbour and all its facilities. Thereâ??s plenty of buses to other parts of Torbay and whilst thereâ??s no parking outside, Torbay Council car parks are nearby, Marc, the owner, provided a free Car Park parking permit for duration of our holiday. Marc is a great host who goes above and beyond to ensure his guests have an enjoyable time.

Elisabeth

We had a brilliant holiday at Bosun's cottage. The location is excellent right near the centre of Torquay, but still quiet at night. A good selection of shops and restaurants are walking distance, as is a beach that is great for exercising the dog. The cottage is nicely furnished and comfortable. It was a hot week when we visited and the fans in the bedroom were great! We never had an issue getting a parking space in the nearest carparks covered by the parking permit and because it covers all the council carparks in Torbay we didn't pay for parking all week even when out and about visiting attractions in the area.

Jacqueline

Great location. Close to everything shops, buses, restaurants, supermarkets, harbour and seafront. You donâ??t need a car. Everything was clean with clear instruction provided.

Mark

Weâ??ve stayed here before and the property is always well looked after. Itâ??s in an excellent location for both the Marina and the shops, with some very good restaurants, bars and cafeâ??s nearby.

Tamara

Superb location, really quiet even though it was so close to the harbour and bars.

Diana

Comfortable, well equipped cottage a short walk from the promenade. Car park very close too. We had a lovely week there. The owner was very friendly and helpful too.

Anna

A great cottage with a homely feel. Excellent location for the marina and town

Sara

Iâ??m going to try and keep this short, Bosuns cottage is everything you want in a seaside location, it is beyond charming, beautiful touches through out, everything about it is welcoming, to the fresh milk in the fridge and a packet of biscuits left by the owner for me the information pack is incredibly helpful, it was just me staying but a family would adore it, this was absolutely five stars for me I wouldnâ??t of changed a thing

Julie

A lovely cosy cottage which had everything we needed. We were welcomed by Christmas decorations and a lovely food hamper. An excellent location as a short walk only into the town. Buses were plentiful. We had a quiet and peaceful stay. Would definitely stay again.

Blanche

Ideal location. Comfy and charming cottage

Rachel

We had a great stay at Bosuns and would definitely recommend the cottage. The location is great for exploring Torquay. So many lovely restaurants and cafés just a stones throw from the cottage. And yet it's a quiet neighbourhood. The parking permit included in our booking was really helpful for our stay including visits to nearby towns. The owner was very proactive sending helpful info before we arrived and very friendly and helpful during our stay.

Kerry

Lovely, comfortable cottage. Excellent location.

Karen

Lovely cottage in a great location. Well equipped and communication with host was great. Highly recommended
