Right on the promenade in Paignton, this apartment makes for a great seaside break. The South West Coastal Path runs right outside the door, so hikers can enjoy a day of clifftop walks in either direction. Following the bay, you can reach Torquay in just ten minutes by car. But there’s plenty to keep you occupied in Paignton itself, like the long sweep of beach, Victorian pier with old-style arcades and cafes, pubs and fish and chip shops galore.
The nautical decor inside is a reminder of how close you are to the sea – anchors on the wall, paintings of beach huts and a palette of soft blues and whites. The stylish grey kitchen has all the essentials for self-catering, and the breakfast table sits in a sunny spot by the window, overlooking the rooftops of Paignton. The bedroom, with its king-size bed, is a soothing place to lay your head.
