The shack was a great apartment with everything you needed for a quiet getaway. Closer than expected to the beach which was a bonus and well-located for the village shops. Next door to a great pizzeria and behind the general store, pub and great cafe. But surprisingly quiet. We had a great weekend. Torquay is a 45 minute walk on the beach where there were excellent shops and eateries with a fantastic Sunday market. Was great to be in a quiet spot but have everything close by.
