Exceptional cleanliness, very cozy and warm atmosphere. Our room was overlooking the garden. Owners were absolutely lovely and accommodating. Just a minutes walk to Paignton beach. Wonderful breakfast included. Just all in all excellent value for money. We will definitely be booking there again if we visit the area.
