Second time we have stayed here. Lovely apartment and accepts dogs. Extra complimentary items were provided and towels, bedding etc. Plenty of space for clothes.Felt like it was a bit expensive for the size of the property, for 2 people and charge for our lovely dog.(not sure but think it may have gone up in price since last year). But probably due to the location. We will definitely come back. Only 5 minutes walk through a lovely park to the sandy dog beach and some eateries.About 15 minutes walk to Paignton town. Short drive to Brixham, Totnes, Dartmouth and other local places.Thank you to the owners for keeping such a lovely clean place to stay.
