We liked absolutely everything about our stay. The location is central to everything (with the beachfront, pier, town centre, and train centre all in walking distance), our room was immaculately clean and was decorated beautifully. As for our hosts - outstanding! The friendliest couple you’ll ever meet.

What a gem. It's such a lovely place to stay! On arrival, Roger was on hand to give me a warm welcome and took the time to answer all my queries. Marvellous breakfasts each morning; always served with a smile and a chat from Linda and Roger were a perfect start to my day. My room was very comfortable, perfect for a single traveller and roomy with everything needed. Their attention to detail in the decor in all areas creates a joyous atmosphere

Elaine and Cathy were extremely welcoming and friendly. I liked the little added touches. The place had a happy relaxed feeling. The B&B is near the town centre and the beach is only a 5 min walk away. I would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone coming to stay in Paignton. It was very warm when I was there and the room was lovely and cool.

The man who introduced us to the hotel was lovely; he showed us around and explained everything and made sure we knew everything. He made us feel really comfortable and even said if we need help we could phone him at any time of the night; luckily that wasnt an issue. The beds were so comfy and the shower was lovely and hot. Would definitely stay again!

Dear Jan & Steve, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for our wonderful stay! Everything was simply perfect: - Your hospitality was overwhelming - we felt welcome and well taken care of from the very beginning. - The breakfast was a highlight every day - delicious, freshly prepared, and with great attention to detail. - Our room was clean, cozy, and exactly what we had imagined. - We were traveling with our children and were given a very warm welcome - thank you for the child-friendly atmosphere! - The hotel's location was ideal - within walking distance to the city center, yet quiet enough to relax. We would love to come back and can only recommend your hotel! Thank you again for everything! Best regards, Lydia

    Brilliant location, close to the pier but in a quiet area atop a hill with some rooms overlooking the ocean. Great hosts who were extremely accommodating. Breakfast was good too. Bonus is the on premise parking. Love their honesty bar and the garden would be great when it isn't raining.

    Marina is a great host, took in my suitcase early morning and also got an earlier check in. Room had microwave and fridge, also biscuits and jug of milk. Had single room which was plenty big enough with sufficient storage. Guest House in great location for beaches and town. I would definitely come back again.
