Honeycomb Wafer in Torquay, Devon

Honeycomb Wafer Self-Catering

For a taste of the Med upon British shores, there’s no place quite like the English Riviera. One of its fabulous waterside towns is Torquay, a haven for foodies, sun worshippers, and surfers alike. Just a mile inland from its bustling marina, and around a ten-minute walk from Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves, you’ll be delighted to call this peaceful mews home.

From the outside, the honey-coloured stonework and floral window boxes create a picture-perfect scene. Quaint and delicate, the unassuming, homely vibe continues indoors. Kick off your walking boots, or peel off your wetsuit – whatever you’ve been up to in the day, this house is the place to relax and recline.

Find pastels and creams in the understated lounge, where you can put your feet up on the velvet sofa as you pop open a bottle of rosé fizz. We love the modern, country kitchen, where glossy fixtures contrast beautifully with wooden floors and countertops. Gathering around the breakfast island for brunch and a Bloody Mary will quickly become part of your daily routine. And for the evening, you’ll surely be soaking in the elegant bathtub every night after a full-on day of activities.
