Coastguard Cottage Reviews

Barbara
Fantastic cottage, brilliant location, clean and comfortable.
Kirsty
The cottage is beautiful and very well looked after. The location was perfect for the harbour, the pier and Paignton town centre. The kitchen had everything we needed and the whole place was very comfortable. The only thing that would have made things little easier would have been access to wi-fi so we could look up dog friendly things to do and places to go. We did end up using a fair bit of mobile data. This was our second visit here and we would definitely stay again.
Barbara
A lovely comfortable cottage in a fantastic location in Paignton, close to beaches, harbour, shops etc. Everything you need is provided. ( No WiFi but that made the week a lot more restful! ) Hope to return.
Jonathan
Lovely little cottage great location great value for money always very clean ideal for 2 to 4 people only down side small yard but not really needed
Sarah Elizabeth
Lovely cottage, great location for sea front and public transport to get around the wider coast - 15 min walk to train and bus stops - great local public transport. Two really close pubs to drink/eat at plus a couple of restaurants. Cottage had everything we needed except wifi. House only really suitable for one family due to the only bathroom being accessed through the main bedroom. Excellent value for money and very clean. Would recommend to coast path walkers - we walked from Torcross to Exmouth and never used the car once! Park very close for dog walks, literally 2 mins up the road.
Barbara
Lovely clean and comfortable cottage so close to the beaches and harbour at Paington.
Sue
Coastguard Cottage is a proper home from home.. we felt relaxed as soon as we got there.. Even our Dog was made welcome as in doggie treats left for him..
Eunice
We spent a very comfortable Christmas in Coastguard Cottage. The property was spotlessly clean and warm. We prepared and cooked Christmas lunch in the cottage, and found the kitchen provided all the equipment needed.The cottage was near the beach, which proved to be great dog walking area. A great time enjoyed by all.
Brian
We loved this place. Itâ??s far bigger than we expected. It was just lovely to watch the world go by on the water from the patio, conservatory or lounge. Plenty of enclosed patio at the back of the house so the dog could play ball. It was quiet and peaceful, excellent spot to explore the area. Great places to eat locally We have booked to return soon
Stephen
We had a really enjoyable week at Coastguard Cottage. Great location, quiet spot just above the harbour. Easy walk to either the quiet Fairy Cove, or the busier Paignton or Goodrington beaches. 20 minute walk to the bus station with regular buses to Brixham or Torquay. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.
Frank
Minor issues, location overcomes all of them. Ideal for younger family due to steep staircase.
Stacey
A beautiful character cottage centrally located which worked really well for our family of 4. We had a lovely stay and would definitely like to return.
