We had a wonderful stay at The Old Bakehouse. The combination of beautiful surroundings and the luxuriously appointed property were perfect. Highly recommend.
We have just returned from a wonderful Easter break at Natalie’s lovely home in Torcross. The house is beautifully furnished with everything you could need for a busy family. The area is wonderful with a great pub and café on your doorstep. Great views out of the house which is just a stones throw away from both the sea and nature reserve. We really enjoyed our yoga session held in the building by Natalie. Stunning scenery in all directions including start point lighthouse, Blackpool sands beach and Beesands. Thank you so much ☺️
A brilliant house for sharing with friends or family. We especially enjoyed a cozy fire after a day hiking along the South West coastal path or exploring the local towns and villages. A great recommendation from Natalie to eat at The Cricketers at Beesands.
We had an amazing stay at this the Old Bakehouse! The location was absolutely perfect, just steps away from the beach. Our kids had a blast playing in the sand, and when they got a bit chilly, coming back to a cozy fire made it even better. The option to try fishing from the rocks added a fun adventure, even if we didn’t catch anything! The house itself was clean, tidy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Natalie, the host, was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had. A special highlight for me was being able to join a yoga class in the studio downstairs – a perfect way to unwind. Overall, a fantastic experience – we highly recommend this Airbnb for a memorable family beach retreat!
