Double room to rent in warm and cosy family home

Quiet, friendly home looking for a female lodger – ideal for hospital staff or professionals

We're looking for a friendly, tidy female lodger to share our peaceful home in Torquay, about a mile from Torbay Hospital — ideal for NHS staff or other professionals seeking a calm and convenient base.

The room is a cosy double, furnished with a bed with 2 accessible under-bed drawers and a large wardrobe, overlooking a pleasant green. You’ll share the family bathroom (with my daughter, 21, who works), and have full use of the kitchen, dining room, lounge, garden, and fast WiFi. We also have a weekly cleaner, and there’s on-street parking available and also off-road parking on request.

I work from home and my adult daughter and I value a relaxed and respectful environment. We are also visited regularly by my 18 year old daughter. We’re looking for someone warm, reliable, and happy to treat the space like home.
