Would stay again and would recommend. Visitors need to be conscious of the up hill walk back from town especially as the bus runs to a limited schedule

The atmosphere was calm, relaxing, and exactly what w…

“Situated on the beach it was great to be able to pop back to the cottage – ideal when you have 2 kids and a dog! Local farm shop was fab for groceries and the Start Bay Inn was reliable for some nice evening food and drinks. Torcross is a beautiful place and the cottage allowed for an enjoyable and peaceful break”.
