The Clydesdale

This was my first time going anywhere as a solo traveller and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to start my journey. I had the most warm welcome from Diane with a much needed cuppa and a slice of her fantastic homemade cake. My room was spotlessly clean, bright and comfortable. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and came with a side of magic tricks from Tommy! They are the most kind, friendly and genuine couple I have met. Thank you both for such a wonderful stay. I will be back!

great place to stay and the hosts Tommy and Dianne couldn't have been more helpful. Just a short walk to the town through a beautiful park area.

We have just returned after a weeks break at the Clydesdale Guest House we stayed from the 3rd - 10th of September and have to say what an amazing place. The owners Diane & Tommy are without doubt the most friendly, helpful, couple. The Breakfast was excellent the rooms are very comfortable, spotlessly clean, which we both feel is a reflection of the enormous effort they put in to make your stay a special one they work so hard. If you need any information regarding the area re places of interest, walks , bus services, places to eat, they will supply it they have a very good knowledge of the area. The Clydesdale is perfectly positioned for the beach or the town being only 10 minutes walk to either. When you stay here it is just like a home from home. We have been to many places over the years but this one is in our opinion the place to be in Paignton. We have to REALLY ENJOY are stay anywhere to go back again. Well believe me this certainly speaks for itself we have over the years gone from ONCE a year to THREE times a year to Diane & Tommy at the Clydesdale and can TOTALLY & HONESTLY say we have enjoyed EVERY MINUTE and will continue to for as long as we can. If you are thinking of going to Paignton ( do yourselves a favour ) JUST TRY IT you WONT regret it. To stay at the Clydesdale Guest House with Diane & Tommy in our opinion is SO SPECIAL & SIMPLY THE BEST.

the welcome was lovely. As soon as we arrived we were offered a cup of tea. Both Diane and Tommy were very welcoming and friendly. The room was very clean with tea and coffee making facilities and a small fridge. The Clydesdale would certainly be my first place to book if and when we revisit Paignton.

Stayed here last week, myself and my wife had an amazing time. Diane and Tommy was very helpful and very welcoming. If we need anything they would help if they could. Really nice room and breakfast, I would definitely be staying here again.

Lovely bank holiday weekend, the town is lovely and the citizens are really friendly. We'll be back again. Also the food is amazing. Ask to the locals for a good restaurant. (Fish and seafood) For families, couples and groups is perfect. Enjoy and have fun folks

What can I say? There are not enough superlatives I can use to describe our stay at the Clydesdale. On arrival, we were able park on site and my dad and I were greeted at the door by Diannes friendly face, lovely brew and homemade cake! We were helped to our rooms which were very comfortable indeed. We stayed for 5 nights, I had room 5 which was a single room with everything you could possibly need for your stay with plenty of storage. Even had a little fridge and a fan, rooms were spotless. Dad stayed in a double room 1, equally wonderful with a big bay window. The beds were very comfortable and we both slept like babies. Dianne and Tommy are by far the perfect hosts, very knowledgeable about the area and the breakfast choice and quality was impressive, (really enjoyed the fruit pots, Dianne even made one especially for me, having noticed I didn’t like banana. Dianne is a fabulous cook. The whole B & B was impeccably clean and very homely, the guest lounge was very cosy and perfect for relaxing after a long day. They both went over and above to make our stay enjoyable, nothing was too much trouble and was always on hand to help us with anything. Tommy ( Manuel as we like to call him)was equally accommodating, we especially enjoyed the costume changes and magic tricks at breakfast, we had lots of giggles which made for a very memorial stay. Location was great, quiet and less than a 10 minute walk to the shops and beach front, with a very lovely park at the end of the road. Local transport links are great, cheap, run regularly and very clean for those not wanting to drive anywhere it’s ideal to get about. Its no wonder why the Clydesdale has been nominated for “friendliest B & B” more than once, you’d go a long way to find better, quality and customer service was exemplary! I can’t recommend this place enough, a real home from home. This was our first stay after being let down by another local B & B. It must have been fate as we now wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when visiting Paignton. By a country mile this is the best B & B I have stayed in and at a very reasonable rate. In our opinion 10/10 just doesn’t do it justice. We feel like we’ve made some new friends in Dianne and Tommy and will definitely be back for more of the same before the season closes. Well done you pair. A visit to the Clydesdale VERY highly recommended!! PS. I’m going to miss Boo Boo, he was the icing on the cake! hope he’s not got too fat from all the treats I gave him.

Lovely people very comfortable room in a great area

To be welcomed “would you like a brew” on our arrival completely made my wife’s and myself mind we had chosen the correct place. Lovely couple run this guest house. Was spot on for location and also benefitted from being in a quiet road. Easy walk to the beach and town. Look forward to going back.
