    The apartment is very well equipped. The street is very quiet. Around the corner is everything you need: take-away, shops, pubs. You can reach everything on foot.

Sandy Toes offers a relaxing contemporary Torquay bolthole less than 10 mins walk from one of the best beaches in Devon. With a wealth of restaurants and bars nearby, close to the town centre, Sandy Toes is an ideal base to explore the best the English Riviera can offer- beach life, watersports, harbourside cafes, and its own famous climate. Built in 1840 the apartment is an eclectic mix of period features with a modern touch, and features your own secret courtyard to relax in. The beach is a 10 minute walk as is Torre Abbey. There are stunning eateries along the seafront as well as the Princess Theatre. Take a walk around the harbour & you will find many more beautiful bars & restauarants. The apartment can accomodate up to 4 people as there is a double dofa bed in the lounge.
We have lived in beautiful Brixham for 25 years now , and we are a 5 minute walk away if needed although there is a self check in procedure which gives flexibility on arrival times. We love being hosts & love to make people feel at home & welcome.This is now our third year & we have many returning guests :) We have one apartment in Torquay & two apartments now in Brixham. We pride ourselves on attention to detail & want our guests to feel happy & relaxed & enjoy the tranquility of beautiful Brixham & all its history. I am a keen artist & my husband is a musician :) Please feel free to message if you have any questions prior to booking, Thank you Karen
