Paignton was better than expected - very good restaurants, decent bars, sea views, friendly people. And a super base for south Devon, easy to get to Dartmouth, Brixham, two excellent national trusts etc.

Great tv, the shower is good and we appreciated the hand rail by the bath for safety. The double glazing works well to keep out unwanted noise, so it was quite peaceful even though its close to the train station. Great location, pubs and amenities close by, no big hills on the way! Good location for exploring South Devon by train or by car.
