Ocean Bloom

Ocean Bloom is a two-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a building in the centre of Torquay, reached by a lift from street level. It sleeps four across two super-king rooms, each dressed in coastal-inspired linens, and two full bathrooms mean no queuing in the morning. The beach, a pub and restaurants are all within 50 metres, and the South West Coast Path can be joined just metres from the door.

Inside, the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area is arranged to make the most of the sea view, with the living space, both bedrooms and the balcony all looking out over the bay. A Smart TV sits in the lounge and a second in the super-king bedroom. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven and induction hob, fridge-freezer, microwave and dishwasher, and the dining table seats four. A utility cupboard off the hallway houses a washer-dryer, iron and ironing board, handy for freshening up after a day on the sand.

The sea-facing balcony has ample seating and is the obvious spot for an evening drink as the light changes over the water. One private, secure undercover parking space comes with the apartment; additional paid parking is available at a nearby long-stay car park, and chargeable roadside spaces are also an option. A lift serves all floors including street level.

The first bedroom has its own en-suite shower room with WC. The second bedroom is a zip-and-link super-king, so can be configured to suit. The main bathroom, with bath, shower and WC, serves this room. Please note dogs are not permitted, and guests should bring their own beach towels. Arrival is from 16:00 and departure by 10:00.
