Contemporary earthy shades adorn an open-plan space, ideal for unwinding after exploring the beaches or shops. The kitchen-diner makes quick meals a breeze or eat al fresco on the balcony. A private self maintained hot tub lets you relax outdoors as the sun sets. The two sumptuous en suite double bedrooms make for a soothing night’s sleep, and a refreshed start. No stag or hen parties. Pets welcome. A medley of warm earthy tones, jewel-like sea colours and comforting textures characterises The Moorings. This classic yet contemporary open-plan apartment is gorgeously sumptuous throughout. Sink into a squishy sofa after a day out exploring, flick on the TV and unwind. Two fabulously comfortable double bedrooms that would not look out of place in a high-end hotel will ensure you have a restful night’s sleep. Each has its own en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, basin and WC. The Moorings is surely the most sophisticated place to spend a Devon staycation. For adventure by day, excitement by night, and a calming haven to return to, The Moorings ticks all the boxes. It’s perfect for a couple or a family as a base to explore Torquay’s treasures – from boats to boutiques to bars - with all the home-from-home comforts you’d expect packaged up in this sophisticated apartment. From Torquay Harbour, you’re steps away from continental-style cafés, restaurants, and cocktail bars. During summer, Haldon Pier comes alive with an eclectic mix of events as well as sailing, fishing and wildlife safari boat trips and river cruises. Lose yourself in a plethora of excellent shops and art galleries around the harbour area. Torquay is also a gateway for walks in the Devon countryside and the South West Coast Path. Please note that guests are required to fill the hot tub with water on arrival and maintain it thereafter with the appropriate spa chemicals provided. Due to its elevated position and being accessed via steps, The Moorings is unable to welcome guests who require use of wheelchairs or who have additional mobility requirements. The Moorings is professionally managed by Fresh Escapes. A Devon based privately owned Vacation Rental and Management company who are here to ensure your stay runs as smoothly as possible. Step out of The Moorings into the perfect holiday scene. Listen to the clink of yachts, the call of seagulls and breathe in that fresh sea air. You’re in Torquay Harbour, a lovely marina in the heart of Torquay and packed with boats and boutiques. Here you’ll find designer labels rubbing shoulders with seafaring brands. Head to Princess Pier for views across Torre Abbey Sands, Corbyn’s Head, Livermead Head, Paignton and beyond. Restaurants to suit all pockets surround the harbour, from locally sourced fish and chips to Michelin-starred dining. Head into Torquay proper to experience a sophisticated and stylish resort with a real continental atmosphere that knows how to cater for everyone’s tastes. For water sports, fishing and sailing, Torquay has a fabulous choice of beaches, while the evenings provide fine dining, theatre, cinema and star-studded shows for all the family. Torquay restaurants bring out the West Country flavour in a diverse range of cuisine, from award-winning fish and chips to internationally inspired gastronomy. On The Mooring’s doorstep, overlooking the inner harbour, is Rockfish on 20 Victoria Parade, serving contemporary seafood as well as traditional fish and chips. For that Michelin star, head to The Elephant on Beacon Hill. You can find high-quality fillet steaks at the Orange Tree, just a few steps from the harbour. Hit Ephesus, a fabulous Turkish/Greek restaurant in town, for great food and a party atmosphere. It wouldn’t be a true seaside escape if you didn’t venture out on the water. The harbour offers passenger ferries to Paignton, Brixham and Dartmouth, plus fishing and wildlife safari boat trips. Enjoy long leisurely strolls along the historic pier and promenade and take in the relaxed atmosphere. Walkers will love the beautiful South West Coast Path, which will take you right around the bay to Paignton and Brixham. Try the pleasant circular amble from Kents Cavern in Torquay through woodland to Meadfoot Beach, where you can enjoy some superb coastal views. After another stretch of woods, you join the coastal path to spectacular Anstey's Cove, before a short walk back to Torquay. Torquay has some of Devon’s best attractions including Living Coasts Marine Zoo & Aquarium, 800-year-old Torre Abbey with its Agatha Christie-inspired Potent Plants Garden and Babbacombe Model Village. The quirky Real Crime Museum is just next door to The Moorings on Victoria Parade – head here for a fascinating mix of gangster and heist exhibits. Go back in time along Cockington’s narrow lanes, a charming village lined with thatched houses that date back to the 16th century. You can also walk the Agatha Christie mile and discover some of the murder scenes described in her novels. Take the picturesque steam train to Kingswear and jump aboard a riverboat up the Dart to visit her magnificent riverside residence at Greenway, run by the National Trust. There is on-road parking, which is free in certain places, as well as a variety of local car parks. Torquay benefits from a comprehensive bus network that will take you to many of the destinations and attractions in the area. Stagecoach South West and Torbay Buses offer great services covering the English Riviera. The coastal Riviera Line is a fabulous and easy way to visit seaside beauty spots Dawlish, Teignmouth and Paignton, and see the Exe Estuary and some amazing coastal views by train. There are taxi ranks located immediately outside the coach and railway stations throughout the English Riviera. Torbay Taxis offer a service 365 days a year with six-, seven- and eight-seater vehicles. There is one other apartment to the rear and above The Moorings called Harbour Breeze that is very similar in design that also accommodates upto 4 guests also with its own private terrace and Harbour views.

Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### derek w. 6 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Apartment was of a high standard which was nice and secure from the Main Street Overall really happy with the apartment and location, very clean and of a high standard. Plus was secure with additional security gate. Nice balcony to relax. Only reason was a 4 instead of a 5 was view of harbour view was not up to much. Also the bins belonging to restaurant below smelled and seagulls would make a mess. But little to do with the apartment and no really impact to great stay. ##### derek w.
