You’ll find Protea Cottage set in the grounds of Protea House, just a 10-minute stroll away from Torquay’s seafront. With spacious rooms and a classic, welcoming décor throughout, Protea Cottage is perfect for that South Devon break. With a classic appearance and original features such as the fireplace, the living room makes it all too easy to while away an hour or two with your feet up in between adventures. Period furniture gives the room a nostalgic character, and the bookcase means bookworms will have plenty of opportunity to wind down with a book during their stay. The master bedroom upstairs enjoys open views out to sea, so it’s a peaceful spot to forget the rest of the world after a long day enjoying the nearby beach. The twin bedroom downstairs includes little touches such as a spacious en-suite bathroom complete with a large corner bath, and this gives it an elegant feel that’s in keeping with the rest of the house. Torquay’s home to some of South Devon’s best-loved attractions, and many of them are within walking distance from this home from home. Living Coasts, Torre Abbey Sands and the Princess Theatre are all within easy reach of Protea Cottage, and a little further afield you’ll find Kents Cavern, Babbacombe Model Village and Bygones. Protea Cottage is attached to Protea House. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83090000/83089900/83089855/a1ff570c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Westerlands Apartment Torquay - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Parking available 2.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=83089855&PinnedHotelID=83089855&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78660000/78658400/78658328/90bfc661.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Harbour Lights Torquay - Kitchen - Washing machine - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=78658328&PinnedHotelID=78658328&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106920000/106920000/106919933/21173781.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Protea Garden Apartment Torquay - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=106919933&PinnedHotelID=106919933&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113500000/113492400/113492346/3f11d815.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 bedroom accommodation in Torquay Torquay - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=113492346&PinnedHotelID=113492346&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82960000/82959400/82959328/e64c682c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coach House Protea Torquay Torquay - Kitchen - Washing machine - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=82959328&PinnedHotelID=82959328&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=82963246&PinnedHotelID=82963246&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=82963246,83089855,78658328,106919933,113492346) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules The guest will be charged 50% amount for a cancellation after the reservation is made. ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
