Elaine's review
By Elaine Hens on 04-Jun-2025We stayed in the Garden flat which is well equipped, clean and comfortable. The property is close to bus routes and train station and the beach is close by. Local restaurants are a short walk away which meant we had no need for a car on our trip . Lots to do in the area , with Brixham and Torquay easy to reach by public transport. A great place to relax and switch off, planning our next visit soon.

Craigs review
By Craig Mundy on 28-Nov-2025Everything was wonderful for our stay in this beautiful Garden flat. It was perfectly place for our Paignton Zoo day out and The Polar Express experience in Buckfastleigh. We would definitely recommend this place for others that are looking to go in the Polar Express. It had absolutely everything needed for everyone. Our host Vicki, gave fantastic instructions to find the place and also to get inside. She was also extremely helpful in allowing us to use a 2nd parking space as we had 2 vehicles. The flat itself was very tidy and had everything, it had children's toys for our little one and a vast selection of board games cards and books for grown ups - the fresh local milk for tea was a fabulous extra. This is a great place to stay and at a very good cost. We recommend this to everyone.
