Just off the seafront and a few minutes walk to the railway and bus station. The steam train station was also located alongside the main station. Fairly typical seaside boarding house without the traditional dragon landlady of old. Very short level walk to the seafront with it's multiple attractions. Located in a quiet side street the rooms were very clean and equipped with anything you may need. Highlight was the excellent breakfast provided included in the room cost. Lots of choice and cooked fresh. Wonderful area to visit with numerous town and villages to visit. Buses only cost £2 a journey throughout the Torbay area. Recommend the bus to Kingswear, the ferry across to Dartmouth (£2.00) and a smaller boat to the fort at the estuary mouth (£3.00). Back to Kingswear and bus to Brixham followed by ferry across to Torquay (£6.00). From there train or bus back to Paignton. Wonderful day out to explore the towns mentioned as well as short cruises and ferries.

Close to the beach and town centre. Jo the owner was friendly and welcoming and cooked a huge English breakfast which kept me going all day. My room was on the 1st floor, big enough with a single comfortable bed, TV, free Wi-Fi and coffee making facilities. The room had its own toilet and shower down the hallway. All in all a very pleasant stay in a quiet area but walkable to everywhere.

What can I say. Was there on a break from the North East & cannot fault anything. Jo was lovely, always had a smile on her face & was interested in you & what your plans were for the day without being overbearing. Breakfast was plentiful & your hot option cooked to order. The rooms are nice & homely. Will definitely be going back. A little gem of a guest house. 🙂

Jo was the perfect hostess. The breakfast was beautiful. Rooms are lovely only drawback some / most single are on the second floor not mentioned in info. Which makes impossible for older single people if not super fit. Some bed are hard but very good size. Over all would highly recommend. Definitely going again 5 star.

The accommodation is just a few minutes on foot from the esplanade and the beach, the railway and the bus stations, the town center and its amenities and facilities. The room was tidy and clean, the bed was comfortable. The private bathroom was easy to access and use. Continental breakfast was available as well with good choice. The landlady was kind and helpful!

The property was a few minutes walk to the beach and the centre of town. Jo was welcoming on arrival and the breakfast she cooks on the morning is huge, keeps you fuelled all day. My single room on the 1st floor was big with TV, kettle and coffee and tea making facilities and free Wi-Fi and my own private toilet and shower down the hallway. The bed was comfortable and I slept well the 8 nights I stayed.
