Passable

Very good

not the best experience or...

Liked: location to the beach and town centre
Disliked: not as clean as you would expect two sets of windows one with the glass is blown with condensation between the pains of glass and building work going on next door with the scaffolding right by my window with the other window not closing properly or locking shut. and sounds as if the seagulls where tap dancing on the roof at 5 oclock every morning.

Very good

Liked: Jo is a lovely lady who looks after her customers really well ..She puts on a great breakfast in the mornings with a really good selection .
Disliked: I was on the top floor ..I knew this when I booked , but it was very hard work to take my baggage up and back down as I do have leg and foot problems and unfortunately Jo is suffering herself atm with knee problems so it wasn't fair to expect her to carry my bags even though on arrival she did try to which I really appreciated. Despite this, this was my only 'problem ' I had on such a great stay .Jo is very helpful in every way that she can be and never rushed me vacating my room ..I did it at my own pace which I was very thankful of.

Excellent

Liked: Breakfast was great
Disliked: Nothing

Was a good spot and...

Liked: Very close to beach and town very good spot to be in
Disliked: The noise of the seagulls till all hours of night and at 5 in the morrning not there fault tho ..and the stairs was a killer to walk up top floor with 8 suit cases and 2 kids would of been better if kids were down lower floors as one of up stairs windows opens fully and could easy fall out

5 star stay in Paignton

Liked: The lady that owns the bnb is the loveliest person that simply can not do enough for you to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as it can be, the food was generous and excellent and the location is perfect a few minutes walk to the town and the beach and also the train station.
Disliked: The dawn wake ups from the locals [seagulls)

Nice warm comfortable stay, lovely...

Liked: I had a lovely stay and I would recommend it.

Exceptional

Misled and ignored

Liked: A decent sized bedroom with a comfortable bedTeas and coffees providedGreat locationReasonably quiet
Disliked: Out the front looks tacky and unkempt with cigarette buttsHallway needed a good HooverLack of interaction with hosts: the only time was when a lady answered the front door to hand over my keys and tell me where my bedroom was (no introduction, no information, no niceties). The second time was an apology from a man smoking on the porch and blocking the exit. No other contact during my stay. At no time was I offered breakfast despite the website, booking.com and board at the front saying they do breakfasts (I’d emailed the property weeks before coming about breakfast and got no reply) looking at past reviews they used to offer a form to fill out the night before with your breakfast choice, this was not provided to me.Filthy shower with black mould on the head, under the soap holder, behind the shower metal and the corners of the bottomStained duvet coverNo toiletries providedNo clean cup for the second dayOverall, I would not return or recommend -it isn't the guest house that past reviews attest to providing warm welcomes or lovely cooked breakfasts.
