A millionaire’s view of the English Riviera

29th July 2009 Print
A millionaire’s view of the English Riviera Enjoy the many delights of the English Riviera from one of the most exclusive self-catering properties in South Devon. Brand new for 2009, West Wing Cottage enjoys a superb yet secluded position right in the heart of Torquay, with fabulous sea views from its sweeping lawn and master bedroom suite, and private access to the water's edge.

Ever since the Victorians descended on Torquay and coined the English Riviera phrase, holidaymakers have come to enjoy the simple pleasures of evening promenades along the beaches and coastal paths, dips in the sea and restorative air.

Although you can still indulge in these very traditional pursuits, the English Riviera has moved with the times and fully deserves its long-standing reputation as one of the UK’s most popular tourist destinations. Luxury accommodation has traditionally tended towards the large, four-star hotels which line the sea front and hills beyond, but top-class self-catering options have been severely limited. Until now, that is.

Brand new for 2009, West Wing Cottage (torquay.uk.com) enjoys a superb yet secluded position right in the heart of Torquay, with fabulous sea views from its sweeping lawn and master bedroom suite, and private access to the water's edge. With a further double ensuite, large lounge/diner and galley kitchen, all of which are finished to exacting standards with bespoke furniture and modern appliances, this property raises the bar for self-catering accommodation in Devon.

For a romantic getaway, weekend break or family holiday, West Wing Cottage – and the English Riviera – is the perfect location. And with a week in September from just £895 (that’s less than £32 pppn based on four sharing) you get an awful lot of luxury for not a lot of money.
