We had a really enjoyable week at Coastguard Cottage. Great location, quiet spot just above the harbour. Easy walk to either the quiet Fairy Cove, or the busier Paignton or Goodrington beaches. 20 minute walk to the bus station with regular buses to Brixham or Torquay. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.

Minor issues, location overcomes all of them. Ideal for younger family due to steep staircase.
