We visited as a family with our two year old daughter. Carl messaged up prior and ensured the sleeping arrangements were sufficient and asked if we required more blankets for our daughter. The room itself was immaculate and quiet. Carl was very accommodating throughout our stay. Thank you both.

This is the best B and B we have every stayed in. Pristinely clean, beautifully and tastefully decorated, retaining many original features. Devon House is in a quiet backwater close to a park for an evening stroll. Carl and Tace are the perfect hosts. Large comfy bed and top quality furnishing, bedding and towels. This is excellent value for the money. The continental breakfast was lovely and Tace and Carl go out of their way ( without invading your privacy) to make your stay as welcoming and perfect as possible. The location is great for the sea front, the park, restaurants, cafes, harbour etc. There is much to do and see in both Paignton itself and the surrounding areas. The beaches just a short drive away were very clean, quiet and many were blue flag and that was in the only heat wave we have had this summer. The shower was perfect with lashngs of hot water. We genuinely had a great stay and hope to return. Also no need for air conditining which I detest. We slept like a King and Queen and felt thoroughly rested and restored from our short break. Finally the coffee was the best we have ever had in any hotel!

Nothing was too difficult. the hosts couldn't have done more for us. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was not only pleasant but easy. They helped find us a steamer, let us keep our stuff there when we had to leave for the night. It just was one less thing we had to worry about.
