The whole experience was magical. The view from the window stunning, and the place was clean and comfortable. Only 49 steps down to the harboour side where therre are all the shops and variety of restrantss you could wish for (Lots of fish ) The only drawback was the laclk of parking but this was easily solved by getting a 4 day car park permit from Torbay district council. This means you can use any of their car parks including the Breakwater. We left the car there for most of the holiday and could walk back to the appartment along the harbour front in 10 minutes.
