Set next to the owner's Victorian villa, lies a detached mews cottage providing a homely base in the seaside town of Torquay. Monterey Mews, so called because of the large Monterey tree in the owner's garden, visible from the open-plan living space, is a wonderful space for six guests looking to explore Devon's south coast. Step in through the front door and be met first with one of the double bedrooms resting on the ground-floor, decorated beautifully with neutral tones and quality furnishings, it has a standard double bed and is benefitted by a lovely en-suite bathroom, complete with a bath and shower over, plus a heated rail to keep your towel warm. Head upstairs to be welcomed into the heart of the home on the first-floor, enjoying an open-plan layout, it has light flooding in from the Velux skylights in the sloping ceilings. Settle on the sofas where a TV with a DVD player can entertain you, or choose to play one of the board games gathered around the circular dining table. The kitchen has a wealth of appliances for whipping up some tasty meals, with sleek wood-effect worktops and light units, it's a charming space complete with a dishwasher, gas oven and hob, a fridge and a freezer. From here, step across the room to find the shower room, neatly tucked away here, it holds a walk-in shower to freshen up in. Continue down the hall after a busy day and get some rest in either of the two bedrooms up here, including a double and a twin, both with classic round, porthole windows and skylights, creating an ambient environment to wake up in. Dine alfresco or just delight in some evening drinks out in your own private courtyard, while your canine companions can stretch their legs. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding what to do in the area; begin by heading to the nearby and renowned Babbacombe Model Village, set over four acres of grounds filled with miniature houses, vehicles and people, as well as a fabulous castle complete with fiery dragon! Catch the nearly century-old Babbacombe Cliff Railway down to Oddicombe Beach, built in 1926, it offers a pleasant way to experience the lovely coastal views, as well as reach the beauty of the beach. Oddicombe Beach, part of the English Riviera, is perfect for paddling in the waters as well as good for watersports, with golden sands and a popular café and shop on the beachfront. Another gorgeous spot is Babbacombe Beach, a pebbled shoreline with more calm waters, and you can walk along the Downs claiming to be the highest promenade in England! Take a turn around Tessier Gardens, a wonderfully-kept park which features a lovely pond, along with a glorious scented garden especially for the blind, it is a charming space. Find a geological adventure at Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves, offering tours around the natural wonders, with activities for families and kids, and home to a large restaurant too. Torre Abbey Museum and the Torquay Museum can both teach you a thing or two about the local history, whilst Living Coasts, a zoo and sea life aquarium, is home to a great collection of creatures, including free-roaming penguins, otters, and up-close experiences with the animals!

Reviews
Had a week here with friends. We absolutely loved it. The house was exceptionally clean. It’s also very well equipped and so peaceful. Fantastic location very close to shops, cafes, pubs etc and the sea. The owner was so helpful and friendly too. We will definitely be going back.
This was a very disappointing stay, the place had not been cleaned, the kitchen had stale milk Stains in the fridge and on the floor. Under the sink it looked like there was mouse droppings and had not been cleaned. We found animal excrements on the banister. The oven door did not shut properly nor did the fridge door. One side of the sofa was ripped and it was covered with a curtain tie back. The other side of the sofa looked like blood stains. Every window sill , light and mirror was covered with other people’s dirt . The grill pan was dirty. It was advertised as dog friendly and there was nothing dog friendly about the place only one locked door to stop the dog going in the road . Very expensive for what you got. The bathrooms were clean
Stayed at Monterey for a week with our son and another couple. Not really a “mews cottage” more of a garage conversion with the main living area in the eaves of the building. This itself presented a few challenges for 2 of the party who are over 6ft tall, using the toilet in the very compact “shower room” for example was technically difficult. Some of the furniture was tired and in need of replacement. That said, the accommodation was well equipped and in a good location for exploring the surrounding area. We felt we paid quite a lot for our stay but were disappointed with the overall standard of the accommodation.
