This fabulous house in central Paignton is a great base for friends or family to have a wonderful seaside holiday, with Broadsands and Godrington beaches less than a mile away. It sleeps five people and two canine companions, with the bonus of a conservatory lounge and a summerhouse giving you extra space to relax. The garden is fully enclosed with somewhere to sit and chat or laze in the sunshine.

Bright with plush soft furnishings, this inviting home-from-home has lots of character. Head from the entrance hall to the kitchen/diner where you can cook up a storm and dine together, which connects to the living area, with big comfy sofas and a Freeview TV. The dining area leads to the conservatory, providing another room to relax in with a second TV. You’ll also find a handy cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor are the three comfortable bedrooms and the family bathroom. Two of the light and bright bedrooms have king-size beds and the third bedroom is a single. Heading outside is a space for everyone: a patio with dining furniture, a second decked area with sun loungers, a lovely lawn for the kids and dogs, and a summerhouse everyone can use.

Wander to beautiful Broadsands Beach (1 mile), perfect for a stroll with the dogs, or paddling and rock pooling. For a longer walk, continue along the cliff-top South West Coast Path towards Brixham (5.5 miles). Torquay is 3.5 miles away in the other direction, known as a surfing and gastronomic mecca. Enjoy a family day out at Paignton Zoo (2 miles), take a ride on the Dartmouth Steam Railway from Paignton to Kingswear, visit Dartmouth (5.5 miles), or get out into the stunning countryside in Dartmoor National Park (13.5 miles).

Puffins is a great place to stay. It's a perfect location for exploring Torbay and surrounding areas. The kitchen is well equipped with all the guides for the appliances.

Owners very friendly and helpful. Puffin itself was very clean and welcoming, even thought of people coming with dogs! Location was ideal and all facilities are within walking distance, local bakery shop was amazing and Co op a great addition facility. Puffin is equipped with all your basic needs covered. Driveway parking adequate for most familiesRead more. Bus route on doorstep to local locations. Basically a holiday home to meet the needs of most families and friends. Hide

Lovely property in an excellent location, approximately 15 minute walk to Broadsands beach. Very short drive into Paignton, Brixham or Torquay. Great local facilities at the end of the road such as a decent sized coop and a great bakery. Also local large supermarkets just a short drive away. The house and garden are well equipped and maintained. PaRead morerking next to the house was ideal. Couldnt have asked for more from the property or location. Hide

Nice size holiday home, very clean, nice garden. Good parking. In a good area to visit Torquay, Brixham, Paignton areas. Owners are around sometimes if you need help with anything. Garden dies have 2 areas where fence is a bit lower if you have a larger dog. But easy to keep an eye on garden from house.
