“This family-run B&B, near Paignton's seafront and harbour, benefits from free parking and clean, en-suite rooms, but some may find the bathrooms compact. The owners cultivate a community-focused atmosphere; their friendly, proactive management enhances the guest experience with local recommendations and flexible breakfast options. I believe it's a solid choice for families seeking a traditional seaside holiday.”

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues

The hotel location was quite convenient because it was near the beach.

Our en-suite bathroom was REALLY small. The space was not more than the size of a small cupboard. I could not turn around when the shower cabinet was closed.

I am really not happy. Breakfast started way too late at 9 AM. This is just not acceptable if a person wants to get an early start to their day. The small bathroom was another issue. It was difficult to move around in it.
