With space for a solo traveller or couple on a coastal getaway, this loft in Paignton is perfectly positioned for exploring the English Riviera. It’s small yet smartly designed, with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a well-equipped kitchen. You can see the sea from the sofa here, so you can enjoy the view in all seasons. But when the forecast is fine, the scenic terrace is the place to be – from pre-beach breakfasts to toasting the sunset with an apéritif.

Home truths
While this home is all on one level, there are eight steps from the parking area up to the entrance, so you'll need to be able to climb stairs here. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
The kitchen could be better equipped and we recommend this for smaller bites.
The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Free private parking is available.
