“Well Run and Friendly Welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2010

Travelled with my wife, three Children and Mother-in-law for our first stay at the Carrington, this Guesthouse has new hosts who took over the hotel last Christmas.
The rooms we stayed in which were three were all claen and well decorated with on suite in each. all have televisions with freeview and tea and coffee making facilities.
My Wife and my room also had a large sofa in a double room.
Can I just say that Angeline and Brian the could not do enough for their guests and the breakfast they supplied was excellent.
The guest house is in a excellent location close to the seafront, railway station and all the amenities you would need.
I know that my family are looking forward to our next visit and hopefully it will be longer than the two days we stayed this time.

“Excellent location, really friendly owners. Definate value for money!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2009

A very friendly and clean B&B. The location is excellent, far enough from the loud bars and clubs at the end of the street, but near enough to be only 1 mins walk from the seafront.

“Very Friendly, well run”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2009

I have stayed at this B&B in Paignton each of the last three years. Just one night each time. It is very convenient to the train station, and the beach. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and tidy. The price is excellent.

“Very average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2008

person found this review helpful

It's virtually impossible to park outside of the hotel, but there is an ugly multi story car park at the bottom of the street. Not such a reassuring place to park though, as its full of skateboarding youths with CCTV cameras everywhere!

The hotel and rooms are small and in need of a refurb, though the hosts are very friendly and welcoming and on the plus side, the breakfasts are very good.

Although the location is close to the front, and the centre of town, there aren't really any decent pubs in close proximity that you'd want to spend any length of time in during the evenings!

The prices of £54 per night for B&B reflects the standard that you're likely to pay for this type of accommodation.

“Top Class”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2007

Absolutly lovely B & B. Very welcoming, the hosts were friendly and explained things in detail. Very clean and comfortable room although a little small, but we only booked for 1 night. Breakfast was delicious and HOT, a very welcome meal.
Would highly recommend this establishment.
