Perched in the middle of Torbay between Brixham and Torquay, Paignton is one of the jewels in the English Riviera’s crown and loved for its friendly atmosphere, lively pier and colourful beach huts.

The property was perfect for our stay and the owners were kind, friendly and attentive to our needs. Location was also good, with local shops 5-10min walk away, and either a slightly longer walk, or a 3min drive to local beaches. Would highly recommend to any wanting to explore Torbay.

The flat is beautifully presented and has everything you need. There are no improvements the owners could make. We had a lovely stay. The only issue we had was road noise.

An ideal spot for visiting the area. The apartment was clean, warm and really quiet. There was a thunderstorm whilst we were there and we didn't hear a sound!
