This lovely holiday cottage situated in the picturesque village of Paignton features stunning sea views and offers the perfect retreat for a family looking for a relaxing Devon escape. The home will welcome you warmly, with a cheerful exterior, a huge garden and those instantly calming views of the countryside and the sea in the distance. Step inside to be greeted by a cosy living room, decorated in tones of blue, which seem to subtly hint at the sky and sea outside. Lounge on the comfy armchairs and sofa and settle in for an evening of movies in front of the fire. You’ll be able to rustle up delicious meals in the bright and well-equipped kitchen, and weather permitting, the best place to savour them is out in the garden. Should a rainy day catch you by surprise, there’s also a dining table inside, as well as a light-filled conservatory where you can sip your morning coffee. For a night of restful sleep, head over to the comfy bedrooms – one featuring a double bed, and the second boasting a double and a bunk bed, perfect for younger guests. When you’re ready to head out and explore, there are plenty of choices here. From cycling and hiking the coastal trails to idyllic beach days and a variety of water sports to be enjoyed. You can also visit the local farm, and there’s a good number of shops and dining options nearby too.
