All staff were very courteous and helpful. The rooms were absolutely fantastic. We had a sea view room and it was just lovely to look out across and see the pier and all the ships sheltering from bad weather in the Bay.

Lovely property on the hillside above Paignton. We stayed here with two kids and had more than enough space. Views from the patio and hot tub are great, looking down onto Paignton and out to see. Very attentive hosts who responded to queries very quickly.

Joe&Cynthia

Lots to do & great choice of restaurants. Excellent walking trails along the Torbay beach. We walked to Goodrington Beach one afternoon, but our last day was rainy. Still, we took a train to Torquay, explored the town, and returned by public bus.

2/5 - Disappointing

ADR

Took the Round Robin Steam Train, Dart River boat cruise to Totnes, bus back to Paignton. Stream train to Kingswear nice but rest of trip not worth it. Nothing to see on river trip. Walked to Dartmouth Castle but not much there except high fee.
