“From what I've gathered, this is the kind of place where you quickly feel at home, partly because of the hosts' warmth and the high standard of cleanliness they maintain. The location is superb, a short walk from both the beach and town but just far enough to be peaceful, and the breakfast seems to be a real highlight, setting guests up for the day ahead. It strikes me as an exceptional base for a Paignton stay.”
