St Edmunds Guest House ★★★★

📍 25 Sands Road, Paignton

"We’ve stayed here a few times , great location. The owners are really nice and helpful. The guesthouse is spotless , quiet and a nice place to relax for a few days . The breakfast is really good too. The hotel is close to the seafront and a nice walking spot up to Torquay We have been coming here for about 5 years and have never had a bad stay. I doubt you’ll find a better more welcoming guesthouse in Paignton or Torquay ."

Premier Inn Paignton (Goodrington Sands)
8.2 (42 reviews)

Premier Inn Paignton (Goodrington Sands) ★★★

📍 Tanners Rd, Goodrington

"The location was the main reason for booking this hotel. We were pleasantly surprised that the rooms were larger than those in the Premier Inn hotels we usually stay at. We were given a sea view room, and the view was amazing and completely worth it. The beds were very comfortable, and as we were travelling with two kids, we had two additional small beds along with the king-size bed, which worked well for our stay. There are also plenty of things to do nearby, including Young Park, water play areas, and of course the beach, which made it a great family-friendly location. However, the receptionist at check-in wasn’t particularly warm or welcoming and didn’t greet us with a simple “good afternoon,” which left a slightly disappointing first impression. Breakfast, as with other Premier Inn stays, was excellent. We were shown to our reserved table quickly with minimal waiting time. The dining area was a bit tight, but overall it was fine in terms of space to sit, eat, and move around comfortably. One recurring issue, which we’ve also noticed in another Premier Inn, was with the TV setup. There was a small HDMI port provided at the bottom, but it didn’t seem connected properly, and we had to awkwardly reach behind the TV to connect our Chromecast. The shower was fine overall, but there was no handheld shower attachment, which made it a bit inconvenient when bathing the kids."

Beach Hotel Torbay B&B
9.1 (81 reviews)

Beach Hotel Torbay B&B ★★

📍 29 Esplanade Rd, Paignton

"Although the standard twin bed room we occupied is quite small, it is well decorated, has modern furniture and is spotlessly clean. There is a recent shower unit, a TV, a fan, and tea and coffee making facilities. There are twin electrical sockets and 4 USB outlets adjacent to each bed. While the window looks along the coast rather than directly out to sea, the view is very pleasant. The English breakfast was good, and the manager, Adam, very helpful. There is parking on a hard-standing at the side of the hotel. The sea and pier are close by, and the main shopping area is walkable. Overall we enjoyed our stay a lot. Two constructive suggestions are (1) a shelf in the bathroom for toiletries which won't stand on top of the curved sink, and (2) provision of a toilet brush."

Travelodge Paignton Seafront
7.6 (41 reviews)

Travelodge Paignton Seafront ★★★

📍 Middlepark Hotel, 3 Marine Dr, Paignton

"Fab location perfectly situated to the beach and town. Very dog friendly and Debbie was so helpful and friendly on reception. Couldn't of asked for anything more. Will definitely book again."

7 the Retreat ★★★★

📍 7 The Retreat, Marine Drive, Paignton

The Esplanade Hotel by Compass Hospitality
7.3 (110 reviews)

The Esplanade Hotel by Compass Hospitality ★★★

📍 Esplanade Rd, Paignton

"I had a lovely stay at the Esplanade Hotel with my little dog. The hotel is very dog-friendly, which made our trip even more enjoyable. The room was small but cozy, clean, and comfortable, with a beautiful sea view that made waking up each morning a pleasure. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with any questions or requests. The location is great, especially if you enjoy being close to the beach and seaside walks. Overall, it was a relaxing stay, and I would happily return in the future."

Torbay Court Hotel Hotels in Paignton

Torbay Court Hotel

"We had a really lovely stay at the Torbay Court Hotel and would happily return. The location is ideal and just a short stroll to the beach and close to all the local shops and amenities. It made a great base for getting out and about around Paignton and the surrounding area. From the moment we arrived, Steve and the rest of the team made us feel genuinely welcome. They were friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. There was even a DJ on the first evening, which created a great atmosphere and got the trip off to a fun start. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a decent variety of options. The staff were always cheerful and helpful, which really added to the overall experience. A special mention has to go to Steve, he was fantastic throughout our stay, always approachable and happy to help with anything. Overall, it was a warm and relaxing break. If we were to be picky, a slightly broader breakfast selection would have been the cherry on top — but everything else was spot on. We’d definitely recommend it to others."

The Haldon Guest House Hotels in Paignton

The Haldon Guest House

"Just come back from staying at haldon. What is the best thing? Cleanliness. It's spotless everywhere. 2nd. The breakfast was faultless. The usual basic facilities in an old fashioned Victorian property are to be expected but it's such a comfortable stay. Great people and a great stay. .I wish I could move in permanently. Stay here. Just do it."

I finally got a call back with him being rude on the phone . Ended up getting my money back however I was out of pocket £360 by booking elsewhere. Avoid this place !"

Blue Waters Lodge Hotels in Paignton

Blue Waters Lodge

"Julia and Iain made us feel welcome from the second we stepped through the door. I have stayed at Blue Waters by myself as well as with my husband . This time was just myself and my 6 year old grand daughter . I feel comfortable enough to stay there with her as it feels like home . Nothing was to much trouble and they even had little person size cutlery at breakfast . We stayed in the smaller twin room , which was more than big enough . 2 single beds, wardrobe , chest of drawers , fridge with fresh milk and water . Kettle , biscuits ,various teas and coffee . Very comfortable and clean . It’s close enough to the sea front with out being on the main road with Paignton pier and beach 5 min walk away and bus and train station within walking distance . Julia and Iain are genuinely lovely people and I can’t recommend Blue Water enough. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else now . This place is much more than a B and B . To me , it’s home from home . My WiFi connected automatically from the last time I stayed which made me chuckle. Don’t waste your time looking at other places , once you’ve stayed here you won’t want to stay anywhere else"

Channel View Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

"We recently stayed in this Hotel and really enjoyed our break. The Hotel is in a fantastic position with a view from our room looking over the sea. The Hotel is very clean and smart looking and you are also able to park in front of the Hotel. The Breakfast was excellent and very enjoyable. The reason it’s not a 5 star ( 4.5 really) is the small en-suite and sink. Not much room in the en-suite but the room was fine. So really a 4.5."

Amber House Hotel Hotels in Paignton

Amber House Hotel

"A beautiful little B&B. Fantastic location. The welcome we had was friendly, informative and second to none! We were shown around and were very impressed. An honesty Bar! Loved the idea and was more impressed with the trust the hosts give their guests..wow!. We stayed in the room called pebbles, STUNNING and SPOTLESS! Im very fussy but the room was sooo clean for the first time i actually unpacked completely and used the full facilites. The shower was the best iv ever had (wanted to take it home haha) so powerful and always nice and hot. The room was so well decorated and modern and the bed was extremely comfortable. The TV was on a swivel bracket and had a built in DVD player. The hosts have book shelves in the hallways offering books and a very large DVD collection for their guests to borrow. The breakfast was 10/10!! The hosts mark and debbie was so friendly and welcoming and the rest of the staff were also 10/10! Nothing was to much trouble. I would highly recommend this place to stay and will most definately return. Wonderful stay xx"

St Edmunds Guest House ★★★★
"For the first few days, we really enjoyed our experience at the Edmunds House Hotel. The property is in a good location, our room was very nice, the staff were pleasant and the breakfasts were outstanding. We particularly liked the breakfasts; the service was wonderful and the quality of the food was exceptional. However when we returned on the afternoon before our third night, the front desk was unable to find the room key we had left with them that morning. As it turns out, without notice or our consent, the staff had given our room to another guests, relocated us to another, less desirable room and hotel housekeeping had haphazardly stuffed our things into a single suitcase for the move. For example, our dirty clothes and shoes were tossed in with our clean clothing. In the process of the move, three minor items were lost. It took us nearly an hour to unpack and rearrange what they had carelessly strewn in our suitcases.. Needless to say we were not happy and let the hotel staff know of our displeasure. The front desk apologized but then blamed our hiking tour company, stating the company had approved the room change at the time of booking and should have notified us. Regardless, the hotel should have notified us of the room change and we would have properly repacked our stuff for the move. We spoke with them every morning and afternoon as we dropped off or retrieved our room key. Not once did they mention we would not be returning to room we were given at check-in. We were also told we were being relocated to comparable room, which was not the case. Our bathroom in the Trevone room was up a steep and narrow staircase with a five foot high door frame and a four foot high beam just as you enter. I must have hit my head a half dozen times in our one night’s stay. It is such a shame because that experience marred what was otherwise a very enjoyable stay at the property."

"Awful, avoid. Gutted I booked this hotel. If your staying in Paignton just don't book here. Check the reviews on this hotel for yourself. The team there doesn't care so why should you spend your money staying there cheap or not. Pay a bit more and stay somewhere a lot better."

Ambassador Guest House Bed and Breakfast ★★★★
"Fabulous Guest House in a great location, with everything within walking distance, including pubs, restaurants, amusements, beach, train, bus stations & Dartmouth Steam Railway. Excellent hosts, Graham & Lesley very friendly, welcoming & helpful. We arrived soaking wet from a downpour & were welcomed into lounge area with a hot drink. A very nice touch. The rooms were comfortable & so many extras, like coffee maker with pods, kettle & tiny fridge. Plenty of tea bags, milks, sugar & some biscuits. Pleasant toiletries, lovely large towels & more little extras in the bathroom. Fluffy dressing gowns too! Loved the little fold away stools & mini table that hung away on the wall. Breakfast super, cooked fresh to order (choose the night before) & plentiful or continental if preferred. Fruit salad was delicious. Lovely ambiance in the breakfast room. There was also a conservatory to relax in & bar. With such lovely hosts, the extra touches that make you feel at home, & delicious breakfast, great location, what more could you want."
