    The location is in walking distance to the town and seafront. Has off road parking and very clean and comfortable rooms. The hosts are lovely and most accommodating. Would definitely recommend staying at Sonachan House.

    Absolutely nothing.

    Beautiful location and a very very warm welcome from Leanne the owner. The furnishings of an exceptionally high standard, very very clean, amazing bedroom, the best bathroom I have ever seen in a bed and breakfast property. The breakfast so lovely fresh fruit and waffles plus lots of other delicacies.

    Nice B&B near to Harbour area. It's up a fairly steep hill which offers a good view of town and has guest parking at the rear. Personally I wasn't so keen on Paignton itself but it was a good base to explore the area (Torquay, Brixham, Totnes etc) I thought it was very good value for money. Public transport in the area is excellent.

    Really good service in a comfortable room with excellent facilities.

    The only thing that I was even slightly aware of as a downside was the size of the room - it was cosy, but I didn't need anything else and it was fine for one person. The bed is really big so that's the compromise and the price reflected that too. I didn't see any other rooms so couldn't comment on those but mine had a high ceiling so it didn't feel small, it's just a fact to note if you need more room for limited mobility (I was in room 2).

    The extras in the room were great - like fresh milk for tea/coffee in a mini fridge (along with cold water), the Nespresso machine and the USB plugs. The bed was really comfy and the decor was unfussy (not old school B&B style). Access for after hours was really easy and the owners were really friendly and accommodating with my awkward timings. Good communication beforehand too. Parking a bonus as well, as the road is fairly busy with cars (but I did find a space outside to start with anyway). I wasn't sure about just a continental breakfast to start with but the coffee machine was good (tea on request - and you are asked straight away, so no delay) and plenty of choice with cereals, a bowl of fresh strawberries and blueberries, yoghurts, croissants, waffles, boiled eggs, bacon pastries, toast, crumpets, ham and cheese - definitely didn't need cooked breakfast alongside all of that!

    The hosts leanne & Arron was absolutely amazing we really was part of the b&b family home we cannot wait to go back we miss it all and them already! It's clean ,smells beautiful from the front door, rooms are decorated modern and very very clean beds comfy, shower is cosy then there was breakfast which was included by the way which leanne and arron without fail done every morning was wonderful freshly made again very clean also in the eating area and clean cutlery,plates,cups etc we literally can't even express our delight to of spent the best holiday we have had not just in paignton but at leanne & Aaron's b&b . If you haven't been here you need to get booking best place in paignton and location is perfect. Lovely people pleasure to meet and made me and my partner and my children very welcome indeed nothing was to much trouble and there smiles every morning made our holiday even more worth it . If I could of sat in there room for the week and just go for food on the evenings I would of it was that brilliant. 💯 recommended without question. Thank you both loved it from Claire, Matt & kids xx

    Breakfast would have benefited from more variety during the week, but lovely and tasty, and set you up for the day.

    A warm welcome from Aaron and Leanne at this well modernised property, in a quite location on the edge of Paignton, but close to all amenities. Good continental style breakfast with plenty of fresh fruit and sweet treats. Excellent base for touring Torbay, the South Hams and Dartmoor.
