Confirmed Guest
What an amazing stay we had. A quirky, compact but thoroughly thought out space. Came with everything that you needed, from the big stuff like towels and bedding, down to the smaller stuff like dish soap and kitchen towel. Even had a welcome basket with snacks for us, bottled water in the fridge and for our dog a towel and treats, all lovely touches. I was worried that storage would be an issue but there was a small closet to hang clothes and loads of space under the bed to put your bags/suitcases. The location is amazing, we barely used our car as the beach is just 10 min walk away and the buses run so regular with a bus stop close by.Highly recommend this place!

A unique idea for a holiday. Has everything you need. Lots of extra quirks with under floor heating remote blinds. Hot tub is a great extra with seating area to relax. It is very private with nice surroundings. Enjoyed sitting out.Was left lovely treats.There is option for beach hut at a cost which is worth it.Close by are shops, pub and beach.Bus to Paignton is just across the road.We had a lovely relaxing holiday.

We had a lovely 5 days in the bus, it was a very unique experience.It was lovely and private so we could enjoy family time in the hot tub.The area was amazing, but bus was a short walk away from the amenities and the beach. We absolutely loved it.
