Lovely cottage, great location for sea front and public transport to get around the wider coast - 15 min walk to train and bus stops - great local public transport. Two really close pubs to drink/eat at plus a couple of restaurants. Cottage had everything we needed except wifi. House only really suitable for one family due to the only bathroom beinRead moreg accessed through the main bedroom. Excellent value for money and very clean. Would recommend to coast path walkers - we walked from Torcross to Exmouth and never used the car once! Park very close for dog walks, literally 2 mins up the road. Hide

We spent a very comfortable Christmas in Coastguard Cottage. The property was spotlessly clean and warm. We prepared and cooked Christmas lunch in the cottage, and found the kitchen provided all the equipment needed.The cottage was near the beach, which proved to be great dog walking area. A great time enjoyed by all.

We loved this place. Its far bigger than we expected. It was just lovely to watch the world go by on the water from the patio, conservatory or lounge. Plenty of enclosed patio at the back of the house so the dog could play ball. It was quiet and peaceful, excellent spot to explore the area. Great places to eat locally We have booked to return sRead moreoon Hide

We had a really enjoyable week at Coastguard Cottage. Great location, quiet spot just above the harbour. Easy walk to either the quiet Fairy Cove, or the busier Paignton or Goodrington beaches. 20 minute walk to the bus station with regular buses to Brixham or Torquay. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.

Minor issues, location overcomes all of them. Ideal for younger family due to steep staircase.
