About this property

Torquay Town House within a few minutes walk of the Blue Flag Meadfoot Beach.

Hesketh Mews is a collection of town-houses situated just a few minutes walk away from the Blue Flag Beach at Meadfoot. Torquay town centre and harbour are about a fifteen minute walk away. You can also walk into the town centre using the stunning cliff top walk where the views are hard to beat, or a local bus will also take you directly into the centre in a few minutes. Here you will find a wide choice of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and attractions.

The Beach Town House is situated in a quiet and pretty locality of Torquay, just moments from the Regency Osborne Hotel, where you can use the swimming pool and gym for a small daily charge. The terraces of the hotel are wonderful on a warm summer's evening where you can enjoy a bbq or a drink. If you don't feel like cooking, breakfasts are available at the hotel or at the lovely beachside cafe on Meadfoot. You can also enjoy the labyrinth of beautiful Ilsham woodland paths that lead to open picnic grassland of Ilsham Valley.

The space
This is a beautifully modernised townhouse in a perfect holiday location. There is a small garage suitable for bicycles or outdoor sporting equipment.
The front door entrance leads into a welcoming hallway leading to the newly refurbished kitchen with doors directly onto the secure garden. The kitchen is the hub of this house. It has recently been refurbished,so all the appliances are new, including the cooker, the hob, the washing machine, and the dishwasher. Guests can sit around the Mark Wilkinson dining table, planning their day or relaxing over dinner. On this floor there is also a cloakroom and a small family/games room. A flight of stairs leads to the first floor with the stylish and newly furnished sitting room. This is the room to socialise or watch television in. There is a large TV with Sky tv available. There is also a small balcony with a table and two chairs. On this floor, there is also a bathroom with a shower over the bath and a twin bedroom.

Another flight of stairs leads to the top floor with the main bedroom and ensuite bathroom. This is a pretty room with a velux window. There is also another twin bedded room on this floor.

A charming paved terrace courtyard garden provides a space for those pre dinner drinks and in which to enjoy the glorious mild Torquay climate.
From the charming row of picturesque townhouses, guests are perfectly placed to enjoy the Lincombe Woods with its South West Coastal path, and also the wide selection of amenities and attractions of Wellswood village and the bustling coastal resort town of Torquay. Here, you can catch ferries to Brixham and Dartmouth, arrange boat charters, dolphin trips, or walk along the vibrant palm tree-lined marina.

Guests have access to the whole house, a courtyard, and a small garage, suitable for outdoor equipment. Nothing at all is off limits! With the health club facilities of the Osborne Hotel available, there is nothing that this house doesn't offer.

Perfect Accommodation in a perfect location
The Mews house is both comfortable and spacious with lovely outdoor spaces and good sized bedrooms and a big kitchen/dining area. The area in which it is located is so beautiful and it is literally a couple of minutes to the sea and the highly recommended Meadfoot Cafe. It is a couple of minutes drive to Torquay seafront and all the town has to offer. Thank you Marilyn for a lovely stay.

Enjoyable
Place was clean, large enough, and the area not very busy. Parking was generally available opposite. Very short walk to sea front, and at the other end was a large park area good for walking the dog. Relatively easy to walk in to the centre. Overall we had an enjoyable stay. Couple of minor issues. Ensuite shower head leaked water, and there was a knack to getting the toilet to flush all the time. No (tumble) dryer as the listing suggested. Weather was good too 😀.

we are so glad we chose this holiday home. On arrival, there were welcome treats and the home comforts continued- a coffee percolator or tassimo machine, plenty of clean kitchen utensils and cookware, AND sky tv! All rooms were clean and a good size for the 5 of us. the house is a couple of minutes walk to a lovely beach and tasty ice cream. In a 15min walk you're in the centre of torquay with all it has to offer - a great place to stay. Highly recommend a visit.

Lovely House and beautiful location
Myself and two family members stayed at this home and we were really pleased we did. The home was clean and tidy, with everything we could wish for, to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The kitchen is fully stocked with equipment, pots, pans and utensils. There is a beautiful view to the courtyard garden, which you can sit in, if you fancy dining alfresco. There are two lounges, but we only used the larger one on the first floor - which was comfortable and had a balcony. The bedrooms were relaxing and clean, as well as the bathrooms. The location was lovely - not far from the beach; which I went to in the early mornings. We used a car to get around, so unsure about buses. I would book again, if I decide to visit Devon in the future. Truly home from home!

Lovely property, spacious bedrooms. Location convenient to beach, cafes, town and walks. Parking no problem on street outside. Added bonus of the garage to store the bike. Thanks to the hosts for the lovely touch of leaving us some welcome biscuits, cake and chocolate.

Beautiful holiday home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the house. It was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Good communication before and throughout our stay. The lock broke during our stay but was was fixed within a few days without any disruption to our holiday. Good base to explore Torquay and the surrounding area, Meadfoot beach very close and a bus stop near the house as well which was useful. Would definitely recommend 😀

This house was amazing. Positioned within few minutes walk from beach, 15 minute from town centre, we found that we didn't need to use car as much as we would normally. The accommodation was great and included all home comforts you could wish for. Highly recommend it.

The house was adequate but lacked a few home comforts
It was nice but for someone who has never been to Torquay before should be aware that it is very hilly & the last bus back in the afternoon is at circa 5p.m. so a taxi service is needed

A stone throw from the beach!
We absolutely loved staying at 4 Hesketh Mews! The house was beautiful and very clean, perfect for me, my partner and our children. It literally took 5 minutes to walk down to Meadfoot beach which was perfect and wasn’t far from Torquay town centre either. Parking was never an issue and we always found a spot close by! Overall we loved it and had a great time in the most perfect location, will definitely be coming back in the future!

Fabulous house in a great location
The house was exactly as described on the advert and was well equipped and very clean and tidy. Communication from the owner was excellent in respect of the stay. The location is perfect for Meadfoot beach which has a great cafe. A short walk to Torquay and you’ll find many bars and restaurants. A lovely week.

Fantastic Easter Break
Had a wonderful week with the family. The house is in a perfect location for walks along Meadfoot beach or along the coastal path down into Torquay harbour. The house was very clean, well equipped and well laid out. Would definitely recommend. As a previous reviewer has mentioned the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival was very welcome.

Beautiful house in a lovely location
Property was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything needed. There were loads of towels and there was plenty of hot water for everyone. The milk and biscuits on arrival were a lovely touch, as was the real Christmas tree and we had no problems whatsoever, even allowing us early access to the house. The house is a very short walk to Meadfoot beach and a bit longer walk into town. Being able to swim at the Osborne Hotel is also an added bonus, which the kids really enjoyed. All in all, a wonderful break.
