Szybki przegląd: It's a high-end B&B in a quiet suburb, not a full-service resort—don't expect 24/7 room service, but do expect to wear slippers indoors.
Przejrzane przez @AnneRobeson: I stayed at this hidden gem in Torquay and the views blew me away. Having breakfast in that sunroom with the doors wide open to the ocean was the highlight of my trip. It felt like a private paradise.
