LOCATION

April Cottage is well situated for exploring the best of the thriving, coastal town of Paignton.

Paignton is set in the heart of Torbay, a scenic part of South Devon known as the ‘English Riviera’. It boasts everything you need for a memorable holiday.

Paignton has long, sandy beaches with colourful beach huts, impressive promenades, a traditional seaside pier and an array of coastal amenities. From building sandcastles to paddling in the sea, playing ball games and enjoying relaxed drinks and ice creams together, there is something for everyone in Paignton.

The town centre is nearby so you will easily discover a wide choice of shops and restaurants. Visitors to Paignton are in the right place to sample some of the amazing fresh fish that is on offer at restaurants around the town, and in particular down by the pretty harbourside.

It is also a wonderful area for walkers. Glorious, long walks along the stunning coastal path lead to scenic cliffs, sandy stretches and hidden coves.

Place was clean and tidy and set up well. 

Living room can feel loud when people walk past the front door as the living room is right on street level,  but the bedrooms were quiet. This didn’t bother us but may be handy to know if you expect quiet day and night. read less

And what a perfect first Airbnb it was! April Cottage was so lovely, it was beautifully decorated, clean, had everything you could possibly need and we slept so well. I loved it so much. If I was able to pick it up and take it back to Hampshire with me, I totally would.

Katie was a super host and made my first time using this service really reassuring and easy.

The cottage was so easy to find and in a great location. We were walking distance from the beach (which Edie the Labrador was delighted about!), and a pub next door! We were worried about the noise this had potential to make but we didn’t hear a thing. It was so peaceful.

The only letdown was the parking. We had to park streets away multiple times. Unless you’re prepared to find a spot and leave your car and walk everywhere, it’s a bit of a mission to find a space every time you get back.

Thanks so much Katie! read less

I have limited mobility so can not walk for long durations. Everything that we wanted to me as a family with my 9 month old in a buggy was nearby! Found the harbour easily, aswell as the steam train and town centre. Managed to get parked right outside the property which was good for unloading. The property itself is great for small families. My 9 month old was able to crawl about happily between the front room and kitchen without me needing to worry. The TV can be a little slow, but bear with it does get there. 

The whole property has an open and airy feel and I loved the stable door for fresh air and no escaping baby.

I would say the stairs could be a little hazardous with children who would be able to climb them unsteadily.

Both bedrooms are very calming and comfortable, I loved the master and have decided I need a new mattress as I haven't slept that well in a long time!

We managed to get our childs travelcot in the single bedroom but it could easily get into the master.

We greatly appreciated the extra touches like tea, coffee & biscuits. Even fresh milk in the fridge!

The garden was a cute little space however the seating area does look straight into the neighbours garden and they can look straight back at you too so we didn't sit out there much but definitely doesn't take from the overall stay and we will definitely use this airbnb again in the future.

Thank you xx read less
