Denise
The house was spotless and very cosy. Well situated close to the town - easy walking distance into town (although it is a steep hill for anyone who has mobility issues). We appreciated the little touches like the throws in the evening when it got chilly. The nightlight on the stairs was a godsend if getting up through the night. The house is well equipped with everything we needed. The only issue we had was parking as itâs a small drive, shared with next door (also a holiday home) which wasnât the issue as such but locals were inclined to park across the drive blocking us in/out on a few occasions. All in all though a lovely house and would recommend if youâre visiting the area.

It's clean and very comfortable well equipped. Everything worked, managed to watch Sky TV on my laptop via WiFi during the evenings. Just a 20 min amble into Paignton town centre either via the sea front or Torquay Road. Sometimes I like to get away to somewhere new to discover new surroundings, and sometimes it's nice to get away for a change of scene with a familiar feel. I think this may well be the first of several visits.
