Outstanding accommodation

Sarah & Marc met us as we arrived with a drink & a chat to welcome us. The room with en-suite was beautifully decorated, clean & quiet. The breakfast menu was very varied with fruit, cereals, juice etc to start, and a varied menu with plenty of choice for the main course, beautifully cooked. Would highly recommend. Thank you both for a lovely stay

Ideal guest house

We received a nice personal welcome by Graham. Coffee served on arrival whilst he took our cases to our room. We filled in a form for our breakfast needs for the following morning and the time we would like to eat . Our room had a TV Bosch coffee machine and kettle. The refreshments were replenished daily didn't need to ask for extra of anything. Bathroom had female personal items just in case it was needed. I loved the big soft bath towels too. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and ample. Car parking facilities was ideal. Paignton beach was just a 5minutes walk away. All in all and ideal place to stay.
The landing ceiling, so unusual.

We got a lovely warm welcome with coffee and a friendly chat on arrival. Our luggage was taken up to our room for us. The room was spotless and very comfy. The choice of breakfast was superb and the host was a great cook. The location is great with it being just over five to walk to the town and the train station. We will definitely use this guest house again if back in the area.
