Description from owner
Description
This former fisherman's cottage is delightfully situated in a pretty terrace in Babbacombe Bay. Oddicombe Beach with the Cliff Railway is literally round the corner, a pleasant walk across the green space known as the Downs.
STOP PRESS! Oddicombe Beach again awarded a Blue Flag 2023. several Blue Flag beaches in Torbay - this is awarded on the basis of criteria such as water quality, environmental management, facilities etc.
Also conveniently close is a theatre, tea rooms, a patisserie, ice cream parlour, plenty of lovely walking, the beautifully situated Cary Arms pub (down a steep hill), an award winning fish and chip shop, the South West coast path and a model village! Torquay harbour is about 1 mile away, a lovely walk if you want to follow the coast path or on an easy bus route for those less athletic.
Devon is an outstandingly beautiful county and Dartmoor is a short drive away. If you are keen on the outdoors, this is an area renowned for walking, climbing, sea kayaking, diving, coasteering etc. If cream teas are more your thing, you are spoilt for choice and Devon is fast becoming as renowned for its quality produce as for its natural beauty.Torquay is famous for its Agatha Christie connections and a visit to her home Greenway is a must. Find time to fit in a ferry ride or two as well, to Dartmouth or Brixham.
Babbacombe is a gem - away from the huslte and bustle and the bars of the quayside in Torquay but with its own eateries and spectacular views. As the locals say, whatever the season, a walk across the Downs is an uplifting start to the day.

“The best self catering accomodation we have ever stayed in.”
St George cottage had every amenity you could want in a holiday home. Tessa had thought of every single thing to make our stay perfect. We liked that it had off street parking and that it was so conveniently positioned and only a short bus ride into Torquay. We will certainly return to St.George Cottage.

Response from the owner Delighted the cottage was enjoyed. Our own family love to use it and it has become something of a hobby keeping it lovely as a peaceful retreat. Anybody aiming for a holiday in Babbacombe has to have parking.
