Heather and John.
This house has a lovely healthy feel to it , birds and animals thrive here especially slow worms. Deer are regular visitors to our garden.We have three cats ,chrystal ,cream , coco. The sea air is invigorating and people leave feeling refreshed and batteries recharged.Children relax immediately in this enchanted house and illuminated garden and all enjoy the beaches and amenities.
John and I have run this B+B for several years in Paignton . We had another B+B before in Totnes we ran for 15 years.We have always supported organic chemical free foods.I cook good quality multi choice breakfasts with free range,British ingredients.We are intelligent sustainables but not purist or fanatical. Children are welcome with lots of toys in the lounge and bathroom.They relax quickly and love the gardens and illuminations.
Scadson's wood just behind us.South Devon coastal path runs past us. Close to all bus/train/steam trains , boat trips and 5 minutes walking distance to hollicombe,preston and paignton beaches and new water park. Torre Abbey. Geo play area. Red Arrows. South Devon Coastal path.Gorgeous sea views and gardens.Thriving community.What was a major gas works is now a beautiful sort after investment area.
