About this property
A traditional apartment with superb sea views
This delightful apartment is located in the popular Roundham area of Paignton, one of the town's top locations, sitting on the headland which juts out between the pier and Goodrington Sands. You’ll enjoy sea views from many of the apartment’s windows and you’ll be proximal to the beach and the town’s restaurants and shops, yet far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet.
Just a very short walk will take you to the picturesque Harbour boasting cafes, restaurants and regular boat trips to nearby Brixham and Torquay. Keen coastal walkers can join the South West Coastal Path from the apartment. For a day of adventure, hop on the Steam Train at Paignton and enjoy a scenic coastal journey to Kingswear, where you can get the ferry across to the historic town of Dartmouth.
This apartment occupies part of the second floor of a spacious detached period property which has been updated by the owners to provide stylish accommodation with a touch of opulence! The living/dining area easily accommodates all four guests in front of the TV and there’s a glass-top dining table for when you want to sit down to eat. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’ll need to create inspired suppers and it boasts fabulous views of Torquay.

This was a great base to explore the local area. The views from the apartment are lovely. The bedrooms were a good size and very comfortable. The hosts made us feel very welcome. The local town is within easy walking distance and there are a choice of good beaches along the coast. Numerous costal walks from the doorstep and good rail and bus links. Off road parking is very handy. We had a lovely week here.
