OWNER INSIGHT “After 20 years as one of the vicars of Torquay I retired with my wife to the Isle of Skye. From our Croft House we had spectacular views of the mountains and sea, and when we moved back to Torquay we never thought we would find a view that rivalled it. That is until we found Upper Borohaye.

Every day of the last ten years the view is different, either sitting on the sofa looking out through the bay windows over Babbacombe Harbour and the sea, sitting on the balcony overlooking the gardens and woods, or chatting with friends in the beautiful grounds. In the summer the sun streams through the windows as the boats sail into the bay, and in the winter you see the waves coming in to shore as the clouds and mist gather out at sea. Due to the shape of the valley the trees never obscure the view, and there is something new to see every day.”
