Company information

My wife and I moved to The English Riviera after own holiday with our, then, 5 young children after a chance sight of an advert with the Old Manor Farmhouse for sale with its outbuildings. Not stuck in the middle of nowhere – I couldn’t cope being the taxi driver for 5 children! - but 500 yards from the hotel where we stayed, in the Torquay village, Barton. It’s been the best decision. We’ve loved living here and running our self-catering business. With passion and way too much money, the barns where restored and opened to guests in 2009 as Pilgrims Rest Cottages. 10 years on, we’re proud to have been awarded 5-time finalist for Best Self Catering on The English Riviera and winner for Best Dog Friendly Business. We love giving our guests extras and spoiling them. It’s not just giving a gorgeous place to stay, but the little extras that can really make a difference; all extras we have learnt from our own holidays. These include in depth information folders revealing the gems in the area – eating, beaches, attraction. We hope you come to try us out. Your hosts, Martin and Kim
