Mount Rose is a lovely three hundred year old fully refurnished cottage with a walled garden (nice and safe for the kids) close to the sea, beaches, South West Coastal path, shops, pubs and restaurants of St Marychurch and Babbacombe. It's only a ten minute walk away from magnificent Babbacombe Downs and the train/ lift down to Oddicombe Beach.

The quaint cottage is surprisingly spacious with a large fully equipped family kitchen , a cosy lounge, two bathrooms; one downstairs with a bath – ideal for children – and one upstairs with a shower. The two bedrooms are spacious and have new beds; one with a double bed, and the other with two single beds. All beds have good mattresses that are intended to ensure that you enjoy your stay. Downstairs in the lounge there is a sofa bed, with a good pull out double bed.

The house is furnished to a high standard giving the comforts of new with the charm of old.

Parking is free on the road on which the house is situated. The bus stop to take you downtown to Torquay harbour is 30 metres from the house, and it takes 12 minutes to get to the harbour.

Hanbury’s award winning (best 5 in country) fish & chip shop within walking distance.

Please note that WiFi is not provided. A deliberate choice to ensure a peaceful break. There’s always 4G if you really need it.

    The Cottage has been renovated to a very high standard and is very comfortable. It is in a good position to walk to Babbacombe Cliff Railway, Model Village, Theatre and Restaurants/Bars. There is also a petrol station/shop 100 yds away. Parking is on the road and we always managed to find a space although not directly outside. There is a bus stop very near so you don't need a car. The garden is a sun spot with a a swing seat in it. The two bathrooms are handy and the kitchen is fully equipped and large enough to eat in. An excellent base for Torbay and very reasonably priced.

    Fantastic property with lots of facilities especially in the kitchen. Much more than many rentals. Check in was very easy and Hazel was there to greet us. Only thing lets it down was parking which was made worse by the road being closed due to gas works

    We loved our stay and felt ‘so at home’ at the cottage which was cosy, well-furnished and well equipped. Communication was excellent and the host was very helpful.

    Cottage location perfect, as close to our son’s home - enabling us to easily commute, whilst also having space. Met by local contact on arrival, who was friendly and helpful. Practical having extra downstairs bathroom and stone floor in kitchen with a toddler around!Main problem in the area is parking, but luckily we were aware of this having visited our son in Torquay. Need to be prepared though! Generally the property suited our needs on this occasion.

    The cottage is very beautiful, renovated with much taste, spotless clean. Everything that you might need is there. It is a short walk to the coastal path, a little shop just around the corner and you are in walking distance to Babbacombe!

    We enjoied our holidays in the cottage. The kitchen is very well equipped and even without wifi it was never boring. Our kids were happy about the board games and the dvd collection. Also the short way to the beach or the town center of st. Marychurch.

    Mount Rose Cottage is a comfortable and very well-presented house, conveniently situated for visits to Torquay and the surrounding areas.

    We’ve just returned having stayed in the beautiful Mount Rose Cottage for our family break in Babbacombe. The host and key handler were fantastic- great with communication and responding to messages. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The rooms were of good sizes, having two bathrooms is always a bonus and the beds were really comfy! The cottage itself is only a 10 minute walk into the centre of St. Marychurch (up quite a steep hill). However, there’s a bus stop a few doors up the road which has regular services into St. Marychurch or Torquay. Parking could be an issue as there’s no driveway or designated parking spot for the cottage, but we were able to find a spot just up the road each day as others have mentioned in their reviews. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!
