Torquay is a seaside town in Devon, England, part of the unitary authority area of Torbay. It lies 18 miles (29 km) south of the county town of Exeter and 28 miles (45 km) east-north-east of Plymouth, on the north of Tor Bay, adjoining the neighboring town of Paignton on the west of the bay and across from the fishing port of Brixham.
The town's economy, like Brixham's, was initially based upon fishing and agriculture, but in the early 19th century it began to develop into a fashionable seaside resort, initially frequented by members of the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars while the Royal Navy anchored in the bay. Later, as the town's fame spread, it was popular with Victorian society. Renowned for its mild climate (for the U.K.), the town earned the nickname the English Riviera.
The writer Agatha Christie was born in the town and lived there during her early years and there is an "Agatha Christie Mile", a tour with plaques dedicated to her life and work

We enjoyed our stay on Paul's boat. Its an ideal spot for exploring the area and as the weather was nice we were able to relax on board on the sun deck.

Me and my fiancé stayed at Bonhomie for the bank holiday weekend. We had an amazing time, the boat was spotlessly clean. We had everything we needed. The location is outstanding with lots of restaurants to enjoy. We also had a amazing weather and could make use of the flight deck. Would 100% recommend!

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights for our anniversary and it was perfect! Paul showed us where everything was and explained everything we'd need to know. We took a whole bag of kitchen bits with us and didn't need any of them. There was a welcome bottle of wine and chocolates, milk in the fridge for us, tea and coffee, salt and pepper, bottle opener, washing up liquid and sponge, tea towel, hand soap, hand sanitiser, hand towel and bath towel each etc and all the bits you normally wouldn't think about. It had everything. It couldn't have been in a better location, lovely peaceful setting with some stunning views and right near the town for shops and restaurants. We will definitely book for another stay again.

The location was fabulous, the topbeck was spectacular to sit on when the weather was good. Good kitchen facilities and lovely seating area in lounge.

Sophie and I had a lovely stay on Paul's boat. The boat, especially the top deck, is beautiful- we barely left it the entire time we were in Torquay. It was super clean and well located with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Paul was really friendly and we really appreciated the welcome pack. It was really handy having milk, coffee etc. already there for us too. Thanks Paul for a great stay :)

From start to finish Paul and his family were excellent! Very good communication prior to arrival, and when we did arrive he was there to meet us. Paul explained everything we needed to know once onboard then left us to it. He had left us a lovely welcome pack which was very nice. When reading through the information sheet that was left for guests we noticed that he did a 2hour trip out with the boat, which we took up on day 2. What a lovely day out, it was great to experience the boat at sea and had a nice afternoon in Brixham. The boat itself is very well looked after and is a pleasure to stay on. Being in Torquay marina it is walking distance to restaurants etc. Thank you!

Everything was truly magical . The boat is moored in the most glorious position . On arrival Paul and Val were superb , very quickly showed us the ropes and then left us in the blissful surroundings . Wine and chocs for a welcome was so thoughtful . Extremely clean and all hygiene extras in place . Definitely re visiting but for longer next time .

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay on Bonhomie. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. From the moment I checked in to check out I felt special. The boat is amazing I loved sitting on the deck with a complimentary red wine watching the world go by. Super fast wifi and lovely touches like chocolate Biscoff biscuits to go with your coffee ( they were amazing..). Great set up allowing secure access to Private Marina. Boat is very homely. A superb stay that I will remember for a long time. Obrigada Paul e Val.

Amazing accommodation, the boat is better equipped than my house! Everything was just perfect, even the way how they fold the towels. I can recommend this place for everyone who is looking for a unique stay and stunning views, Thank you very much for everything Paul, we really enjoyed our stayed. :)

This was our first ever stay on a boat type accommodation. We wanted to test the waters to see how we would get on in a tight confined place similar to a campervan experience. That is one of our retirement goals. Well, we are truly converted and it might be a boat not a campervan! The boat although a little older is in great condition and has everything you would need for a short break. The bed was uber comfy, the bathroom takes a little getting used to but no great hardship. The only thing I would say it didn't have was the more current tech. that we all seem to travel with nowadays. There was no Bluetooth speaker option, although there was a good sound system with a radio. The TV's are not smart, so no Netflix/SKY etc., but the terrestrial channels came in very good. That being said, if that isn't normally part of your holiday, not an issue, if you need it, bring your own. WIFI works perfect. All in all a great stay, I would recommend and already have to friends and family.

We had a fantastic night away, a great way to spend my birthday. Lovely overnight stay in a fantastic location. First class communication from Paul & Val. We appreciated the refreshments left for us. The boat was clean & comfortable.
