Boasting pool with a view and views of mountain, Halekulani Devon Homestay is a recently renovated homestay situated in Torquay, 1.5 km from Maidencombe Beach. Featuring full-day security, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station.

The Haleklani retreat is set high up amidst beautiful green countryside with panoramic views from all the windows overlooking the sea. I loved looking at the boats out on the water. I saw an owl swooping by one early morning. The lawns Leading down from the terrace were immaculately cared for as was the entire house. The house is very spacious and beautifully decorated with original art and sculptures and big healthy tropical plants. The house was warm and immaculately clean and beautifully organised . I loved the freestanding white bath in the spacious new bathroom also overlooking the sea. There were quality soaps and shampoo and conditioner, thick cotton towels. Every comfort was thoughtfully provided. The bedroom had a fresh coffee maker and kettle and a range of teas. Anne provided filtered fresh water and milk which was kept fresh in the mini fridge. The bed was deeply comfortable with plush pillows. The house had a hush and peaceful ambiance with soothing background music and lighting. The breakfast was abundant and beautifully cooked and good quality with attention to details with sprigs of parsley on the butter. It was lovely to sit and feast overlooking the sloping lawn and big sky and sea. I loved relaxing in the lounge area and worked happily for hours on my websites with Anne offering me cups of tea and coffee. I was warm and snug on the winters days that I stayed and it was glorious when the sun shone in. If you’re wanting peace and harmony and comfort- this is the place to stay.

We loved everything from the hosts down to the bed sheets. Exceptional value for money and the 2 small bottles of complimentary wine in the fridge were fab. Breakfast was fit for a king and all freshly made. Excellent location for the town centre and local theatre. Highly recommended for a couple of days away from work and kids.

It was very clean and quiet. Great location to beach and town centre. Literally a 10 minute walk, and while homeward bound is a little up hill l, it’s not that bad. Also a great little pub across the road that does good meals. The ensuite room is on the 3rd floor, but not a big deal, unless you wanted to drag suitcases up. We just took up what we needed for the night. Bed was so fluffy and comfortable, we slept in. Both the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Lovely couple that are doing a great job of hosting. Even though there is no fridge in room, they have one on the landing for guest use.
