I've been there in 2010 for one week. That is the best bed & breakfast family-run hotel I have ever…read moreseen before and after (so that one year later I do remember how good that was). The hosts were very friendly and helpful; they have even laundered my clothes for free (on request, of course). The English breakfast was delicious and nutritious (+3kg of body weight for 1 week). Location is good for Paignton - close to the sea/ocean (1-2 min walking) and to a bus station. Though, it is a bit far (for walking) from the attractions of Torquay, but you can take a bus or drive yourself.

The rooms were small and the bathroom a disgrace. You could not turn around. The hotel was a maze of corridors and lifts was dodgy and you could barely fit 2 people in it. The standard of cleaning was poor. The staff on the other hand were nice, friendly and helpful. The dining room was waiter service but the hours of eating were very limited. The food itself was quite acceptable but portions were small. this was not immediately apparent as the food was served on small plates. From our experience this is hotel to avoid.It was in its a favourable location on the seafront and only a few minutes walk to all of Paignton's amenities.The Hotel entertainment was a low standard. Bingo most nights followed by a live entertainer Because of the design of the hotel we would suggest it is not suitable for the disabled.

I needed an hour between breakfast and leaving the hotel though, I was so full!
