This Victorian villa is the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s in a beautiful spot in a secluded cul-de-sac overlooking the Aller valley, within easy reach of the beaches of Torquay and Babbacombe. Perfect for families and groups of friends, the villa is equipped with everything you might need for a relaxing break, and has been designed with style and comfort in mind. We love the terrace and garden, where you can drink in the view while cooking on the barbecue.
