5* ~ Spent two weeks in The Balcony and the apartment was just what we had hoped for. Actually, it was beyond expectations: extremely clean, spacious, luxurious, beautifully decorated, a comfortable bed and shower and just all the facilities one could need were there. The terrace might even be the biggest asset: we enjoyed it every day to enjoy our breakfast, lunch or late afternoon wine.

The service was excellent as well. Sue and Richard: your attention to detail and personal touch was much appreciated, thank you again for that. Everything was just perfect. Hope to be back soon!

South Devon has a lot to offer and we had too little time to do all the sightseeing and try all the nice restaurants in the area.

Good tip: if you are planning to do a lot of sightseeing, bring your own convertible car or hire one at the airport, you won't regret it. Can recommend Discovery Holiday Homes as well as The Balcony apartment to anyone.

Many thanks and best regards from rainy Rotterdam.

Period apartment within a listed building. Wonderful position. Lovely sea views. Very spacious for two. Very well maintained and decorated. Immaculately clean throughout. All in all an amazing place for a great holiday.

Interesting Fact or Question?

Tor Bay, from high-water mark out to the boundary of the Harbour limit, is one of 28 Sensitive Marine Areas in England. Its sheltered aspect, unusual geology and warm climate mean that underwater, just as on land, the area is host to an exceptionally diverse range of habitats and species.

This huge diversity of marine life attracts animals from further up the food chain, most dramatically dolphins, porpoises and seals, gannets, scoters, divers and grebes. Eelgrass beds and rocky seabed zones are particularly attractive to these groups.

The Bay is also regularly visited by Basking sharks in the summer months and the coast between Torbay and Plymouth is of international importance for this species.
