Our first stay but definately not our last. Our room was ready early so we had a message to say we could check in which was great. A lovely warm welcome greeted us from Martin, Jo was out so we met her at breakfast the following morning. The whole house was immaculate and spotless and the decor done beautifully. Our room had everything you needed and the little touches were very well thoughtout, the shower was also excellent. Breakfast (cooked by Martin) was the best we've ever had in any b and b previously, a high accolade but very true. We did meet Jo at breakfast who was very warm and friendly

Love this guesthouse. Shame to be leaving today, the hosts make you feel so welcome and are such lovely people. If/when we come back to Paignton, we'll stay here again! Rooms are great, breakfast is great, no downsides to this place.

Jo and Martin were superb hosts and their lovely dog was very friendly too. The house is immaculate and very tastefully decorated and is in a great location within a short walk of all Paigntons facilities. Great choice at breakfast too with all special requirements being perfectly accounted for. Jo and Martin were available whenever we needed them but never intrusive. COVID regulations were dealt with professionally and we felt safe with them. We loved our stay and will definitely be going back

Even so we have already booked for our next stay in Oct! We had a family room with 2adults & 2 older children with still enough space for us all to be comfortable! Thank you both for a brilliant stay over our weekend.. see you soon x

Truly a pleasure to stay here. The house has plenty of character, with well thought out features throughout. We were made to feel more than comfortable, the owners are great, extremely welcoming and it is abundantly clear that they take absolute pride in their establishment and the service that they provide. That shone through during the communication before and during our visit. The location is great too, we are planning to visit again.

We booked this guest house as a very last minute break for two nights and we were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted at the door by Martin who briefed us on the rules, had lolly pops for the children and then shown to our room, a family room. It was beautifully decorated with an, albeit small, en suite and a second room with bunk beds. There were tvs in both rooms and everything was provided for hot beverages. The en suite had shampoo and body wash as well as hand wash and gel. Breakfast was provided at 5.50 for continental and 7.50 for full English. I don't eat breakfast but my daughter

We received a very warm welcome by Jo & Martin. We were 3 families with 3 young teenagers, a 6yr old, a 2 yr old & 6 adults. Rooms were immaculate with a lovely Welcome card. Rooms are individually styled with great taste & are comfortable with a homely modern feel.
Covid rules were followed throughout so we felt very safe. Breakfast orders & timings were agreed the night before, meaning breakfast service was efficient & easy for such a large group of people with children. Childrens cutlery and plates were provided for the little ones, which is rare & a nice touch. The breakfast was plentiful
