We are truely blessed to live in this stunningly beautiful area, with wonderful panoramic views of heritage coastline to moorland and quaint villages nestled amongst tree clad hills.
Paignton, a small seaside town is in the centre of Torbay, situated between Torquay & Brixham, 20 miles from Plymouth, Exeter & the M5. Paignton is an ideal base for touring Devon & Cornwall, and a great family holiday by the sea

A favourite of ours is the ‘round robin trip’ – catch the bus from Paignton to Totnes, a boat down the River Dart from Totnes to Dartmouth, the ferry from Dartmouth to Kingswear and the steam train from Kingswear back to Paignton. You can start off where you like (Totnes, Dartmouth, Kingswear or Paignton), but leave plenty of time, it can be a full day out!
We can also recommend plenty of local pubs & restaurants, offering a wide range of cuisines, some within walking distance.
