We liked the amazing sea view, the property was very clean and everything was to a high standard.
The chairs on the balcony have seen better days.
Ideal for a couple
Steps/stairs and hills - unable to open any windows for fresh air - small than photographs - not suitable for anyone with accessibility issues/bathroom very small/shower very small
The apartment was nice & the views were lovely.

Single toilet, top floor apartment
GOOD
Amazing views, spacious and modern.
Not always being able to park nearby and sometimes having to use public car park
Beautiful and clean and a nice size
Nothing
The view and the size of the accommodation
All the stairs . But to get that view was worth it Would have like to get on the balcony better but at least had one .
La vista e bellissima. È presente un piccola terrazza con un tavolino dove è molto piacevole stare con una vista spettacolare sulla baia. L'appartamento ha zona giorno e notte ben separate. La cucina è ben attrezzata
Per la presenza di moquette e tappeti sulla moquette, non è particolarmente adatto a chi ha problemi con acari e polvere, cosa comunque molto frequente nel U.K. Essendo una zona residenziale, pur centrale, non ci sono esercizi commerciali nelle immediate vicinanze.
Everything! So close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Great weeks holiday and will be back next year! Thank you so much!
Parking is a bit tricky sometimes but we managed.
Location, main bedroom was very comfy but the pull-out bed wasn’t very comfy at all. Was perfect for what we needed.
There was a sweet left on the top in the kitchen on the Cleaner as I presume
Prachtig uitzicht over de baai doordat het appartement hoog gelegen is. Op wandelafstand van winkels, restaurants en de jachthaven.
Parkeren kan niet altijd in de straat. Het parkeerterrein waar je kunt parkeren wanneer er in de straat geen plaats is ligt hemelsbreed niet ver weg, maar je moet via een flinke trap omlaag. Jammer dat er geen ligbedden of zonnestoelen beschikbaar waren op het terras van het appartement (nummer 8).
Beautiful views,lovely accomodation.the welcome pack was a nice touch.
A place that leaves you speechless. I found a place I highly recommend for all ages up to their 70s, I wouldn't take my granny because the walk to the beach and town, even though they are quite close, there are lots of steps to get back up the Astor House in the cliff. Again, though... it is so worth it! Amazing beautiful views !!! I would also say spectacular. Very clean, comfy, fully equipped, quiet, and with a beautiful garden area offering amazing views of the sea from above. I can't say enough good things about the incredible view that Astor House offers from almost anywhere in the outdoor area. I'm really happy with.
I felt a little sad I didn't get any response from the admin about if there was a storage place for my luggage after checking out. But I continue with my 100 ✨ excellent stars for the place anyway... Not complaining, just wondering....
Apartment was amazing, hard work going up all the stairs but the view was worth it. Even had tea, coffee, milk, biscuits which was a godsend after a 5 hour car journey.
Lack of parking, and the town centre is a bit run down but nothing we didn't like about the apartment. Apartment was amazing.
Tolle Wohnung mit einem sagenhaften Blick über die Küste. Wir haben den Balkon viel genutzt.
-
The view, the overall apartment v clean
Warm fridge
The views from the location were everything, and it was much bigger than we anticipated so that was a lovely surprise
The only grip was the unit had no air con in the bedroom so sleeping was difficult
Lovely appointment Great views Close to the beach
Parking was a nightmare, never any spaces, there were reserved parking but there were bollards up so you couldn’t park.
Lovely modern comfortable apartment with all mod cons . View amazing .
No balcony and too many steps to location .
Die Lage mit super Aussicht. Das riesige Panoramafenster. Die Couch und Sessel mit elektrisch verstellbarer Lehne und Fußstützen.
Bett ziemlich schmal, nur ca. 1,40 m breit. Schlechte Parkplatzsituation. Zu wenig Besteck.
The apartment was clean , comfortable
The views
Could not eat outside for the gulls.
It was a lovely furnished apartment in a great location.
Parking was a bit hit and miss so had some long walks back. The steep slopes and steps certainly kept me and my dog active
Asunnosta oli upea näköala Torbayn lahdelle. Alue on hiljainen ja kävelymatkan päässä keskustasta ja rautatieasemasta. Perheasunto (numero 17) oli oikein toimiva pikkulapsen kanssa lomailuun ja myös kokkaamiseen oli riittävän hyvät mahdollisuudet. Pihan kautta keskustaan ja rannalle pääsi hauskaa näköalareittiä pitkin.
Olisimme toivoneet, että varaamamme vauvan sänky olisi ollut käyttövalmiina, kun saavuimme. Nyt jouduimme etsimään sitä kaikkialta, ennen kuin löysimme sen kaapista ylähyllyltä paketista. Vauvan matkasänkyyn ei myöskään ole erillistä patjaa, joten alusta on melko kova.
Geen lift
Clean and well equipped with fabulous views overlooking the sea.
The lack of parking. Having to drive up and down the street until one was available.
property had everything needed ,
Exceptional views of Torquay. Clean , modern apartment. Would highly recommend.
Nothing
The view was exceptional, the kitchen has everything, the bed is comfy, plenty of relaxing balcony chairs so you can choose your favourite, great floor to ceiling windows in case you need to get out of the wind but still want the view.
N/A happy with it all
Nice and easy access to the flat and gardens. All instructions are very clear. The apartment is very clean, bright and cosy. All sofas in the living room were reclining, making the stay very comfortable. The view from the living room is simply amazing. The beach is really close with all the amenities, lots of restaurants, and a walking area.
We didn't mind, but there are lots of stairs to climb from the beach back to the house. But for us it was no problem, even the kids were ok with the stairs.
Wonderful Apartment with Stunning Sea Views I had a wonderful stay at Astor House in Torquay. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The large windows were a real highlight, offering beautiful sea views that made every morning special. I didn't mind being on the top floor or having to use the stairs at all—it was absolutely worth it for the breathtaking view. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep, and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything needed for a self-catering stay. Another bonus was the lovely garden at the back of the property, which was perfect for my furry friend. From there, it was easy to enjoy pleasant walks into the town centre and along the seafront. Overall, this is a charming apartment in a fantastic location with amazing views. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Torquay.
The only downside for me was the pet fee. At £15 per night, I found it quite expensive compared with many other pet-friendly properties, which often charge a one-off fee of less than £50 for the entire stay. I would happily have extended my stay beyond one week, but the additional daily pet charge made it less affordable. Overall, this is a charming apartment in a fantastic location with amazing sea views. If the pet fee were more reasonable, I would definitely return for a longer stay in the future.
Goede lokatie, niet te ver van station, boulevard en centrum. Goed bed, goede douche.
We konden het raam niet open zetten voor frisse lucht.
Fabulous views
It is quite steep so not if you are not mobile
Everything you needed was there very clean throughout and a really good sized balcony
Loved the view
Nothing everything was great
Location was spot on
Lack of parking, quite a way to walk especially for the older generation .
Beautiful view
Sofa bed was a bit hard
Location
Tired feel
Easy to follow instructions for entering the property.
The washing machine was terrible. The operating instructions didn't make sense and we couldn't get the machine to spin at all.
Location, views, space, comfortable
Door buzzer didn’t work, and instructions for bins and that we could use the gardens would have been useful.
We were hoping to stay, but they told us that they didn't accept locals. We ended up staying at the Grand Hotel in Torquay for 7 days.
Having to climb out of a window for the balcony
Great view 😁
All instructions to access the apartment were sent ahead of our arrival. The apartment was very clean and exceeded our expectations , everything you need is supplied . Then the view , just fantastic. We were very lucky with the weather for March , sunny for our five day stay.
We really cannot think of anything to say here.
Amazing views...spacious ,very clean and very well equipped
Apartment 2 was on top floor..lots of stairs..no lift.
Excellent location to amenities within Torquay.
Maybe the hill but the excellent view of the harbour/beach certainly makes up for this!
Everything! Perfect few days as close to the sea for my foster children and they loved it!
Liked everything!
Location
Bay window wide open, had been raining in , freezing when we arrived, took a long time to get heated up
Alles was perfect vooral het uitzicht was super
Not much
My wife and i are both over 70, 38 steps were not mentioned anywere.
Cleaning staff Shower Bed was comfy
Apartment smelt of smoke on arrival We took our 4 month old baby who was born with respiratory issues Cleaning manager arranged deep clean of Apartment next day but we were only there2 nights so ruined it
Large apartment , large airy rooms Fantastic views Comfortable beds The bedding, bowls and treats for the dog was very thoughtful
Location wise there are some steep hills and a lot of steps which is fine if you are fit/ able bodied There wasn’t anything we didn’t like
Kitchen facilities were good. TV reception good.
Very difficult to find the property, map links were incorrect. Toilet not flushing properly, located high up on a hill, driving to shops was necessary rather than walking. No heating Inn the bedroom. Central heating timing did not suit us
Second stay in Astor House. Absolutely stunning
Decore was lovely and modern and good size kitchen . Small and perfectly formed if thoes little things we had problems with are sorted its a perfect tiny flat for a little break
Fridge smelt like fish sorry I bleached it twice too. Plates and cutlery wasn't cleaned properly and found dirty makeup pad on floor and radiator in bed room didn't work
Locatie deosebita foarte curat și confortabil.
View is stunning, quiet which we love, excellent location, clean, cosy, kitchen had everything we needed, we felt well rested
Bed slightly uncomfortable
The location of the apartment
Nothing
Great location and really lovely apartment, the weather was awful but the apartment had a great view of the sea, super comfy sofas , TV etc. We just sat, chilled and watched the waves.
The view was fantastic and the accommodation was outstanding
Nothing
beautiful view clean enjoyed the holiday
alot off steps to get to the property from the beach
Location is good and sea side views
Old building Old furniture Bed linens need to be replaced Bathrooms old and need renovation Too much noise from the flat above and sleep was disturbed Issues with proper parking- mention available but is not and is road side Not secure Had issues with heating Staircase very narrow Not sure will visit next time-unlikely Previous booking changed the dates but owner kept the money paid and had to do re booking with new amount Charged twice reflects greediness
Position fabulous
Long climb back up but you can’t have views like it has without its lofty position
Everything, the apartment was perfect for a couple with absolutely stunning views
The weather
I stayed in Apartment 1 and absolutely loved the view. Having a little balcony facing the ocean made this place so special and because it was south facing both the living room and balcony got so much light during the day. The wifi speed was pretty good which was a huge bonus as I had some Zoom meetings I had to attend during my stay. Huge smart TV in the living room was great for movie nights.
There were quite a few steps which was fine for me but might not be ideal for someone older or with mobility issues.
It was a lovely apartment. We both had a great time.
The only downside was our balcony. We had to use a small step to get out of a window to sit outside. Next door to us had a door . Also there were lots of stairs to get to our room , which we had to walk up a few times with all our luggage.
Everything was perfect
Fantastic view over Tor Bay
Fabulous view. Super comfy sofas ! V v clean Well equipped kitchen Fabulous big v white towels!
The pillows! (Sorry!). Seems minor but need replacing - with pillow tucks ( base covers). Coms with agent need to improve - and be quicker .
Fantastic views of sea and 10 minute walk to centre excellent.
Location of apartment
Bedroom a little small but we were expecting that.
Cosy and the view was brilliant
The apartment was Clean & easy Accessible, nearby Amenities. Seafront and cafes.Had a beautiful boat cruise to Brixham, was Amazing. The Apartment 8 facing the Seafront is just breathtaking and the night light is something one wouldn't want to Miss.Will surely come back. Can't have enough of it👌🏾
PROS - Great location - Relatively clean room - Good amenities provided included requested cot and high chair
CONS - Room clearly has damp and requires work - Most of the building smells of wet dog - Apartment 11 is on the ground floor right next to the road so you will get noise at night - Sofa bed in the living room is not fit for purpose. Mattress is clearly worn and needs replacing - Dated and old furniture - Soulless and faceless management. No consideration for the 'experience'. Clearly run by a large national corporation that likes to cut corners - Overpriced for off peak season
It’s Clean Spacious and for Self Catering we had everything we need and more than anything I like the idea of having the Bedroom Separately to the Living Room and had a Key Safe too. It was good to walk to the Beach and Shops which wasn’t far.
No Lifts Too many steps on the Stairs ( personally for me as I am disabled) Shower was a bit Small to move around
Apartment 14 was very spacious and clean with a lovely view of the sea. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was perfect with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits left for us on arrival.
We weren’t aware that the balcony wasn’t private and would have several people passing through to access the garden. This meant we had the curtains closed quite abit for privacy and more than one interruption during a peaceful morning looking at the ocean. We also unfortunately had somebody banging and shouting outside at 1am, trying to gain access to our apartment which was abit of a scare. Obviously this isn’t a fault of the hosts but it did dampen our experience somewhat and made us hesitant to unlock the doors and spend time on the balcony.
I loved the views they was beautiful, and very spacious
It was a nice apartment overall, maybe some things could of been a little cleaner, for example when I lifted the bed up to find my lipstick which rolled under their it was really bitty and dusty and could do with a hoover in the harder to see places. The hoovering of the apartment wasn’t brilliant. Also the washing machine .. I tried to use it to wash some of the kids clothes but could not work it out at all as the programmes was all letters but the manual I found didn’t tell you what the letters stood for so struggled with that for quite some time. Overall it was a pleasant stay just some little things above that could have been improved.
The whole property is ok and good.
No proper parking area which we are worried to go out by car just in case we can’t get parking in near the property.
Views & size of apartment
Steps to apartment
We all loved everything about it . It was clean tidy . The view was beautiful.
The only 1 small thing I would say is that it needs a television in adults bedroom especially if you children sleeping on sofa bed. We couldn’t watch television. Other than that we would definitely stay again 100%.
The location is very good! The bed is comfortable. Thanks for the full kitchen, making things so easy.
My partner said the bedroom is too warm . I am fine
The Apartment was very clean, easy to check in, the host had left some lovely extras for the dog and us, which was lovely . We were close to the prom But it was quiet.
The bed was a little uncomfortable and the pillows were thin and lumpy, in the grand scheme not a massive issue , but just could have been better . The apartment also got very hot as the windows did not open much. A fan was left though .
Very nice area
Not very clean to be honest. For the money we spent I’d expect it to be spotless ? But very dusty, dirty toilet and just generally not the cleanest. Plus washing machine wouldn’t work ?
