From entering and meeting Mark and Gareth, we were made to feel very welcome. After a long drive we were allowed to check in early with no problem. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, the breakfast was second to none. Mark and Gareth were perfect hosts. After going to Paignton for 30 years, can’t believe we haven’t found this place sooner. We will definitely be returning!
