My partner and I arrived on Bank Holiday Monday 29th August, and stayed 4 nights. I wish it could have been longer. We had booked through... read more a third party, and were aware that check-in was from 4pm and that parking was available but places were limited. We never had a problem. On arrival we were greeted by Ged in a very friendly manner. My Christian name isn't the easiest to pronounce, and I said he could shorten it, as many do. However, Ged actually used my proper name every time, which was a nice touch. When I booked, I was under the impression it was on a room only basis. So it was a pleasant surprise to be offered breakfast. We were given a pre order sheet, and when I said I was a faddy eater, Ged said they would try to give me whatever I required, no problem. We were escorted up to Room 8. The room was beautifully furnished, very clean, with a stylish looking bed and quality bedding, which blended in with the decor. There was a tea tray with everything we needed, including cookies There was a wall mounted flat screen TV, a hair dryer, and also a fan, which was useful as it got quite warm. The bathroom was large, with storage, and hand/ body wash and shampoo provided, as well as good thick towels There were two toilet rolls, and they were replenished without us having to ask. We slept very well, and found that if we got up at night to use the bathroom, a light in the corridor came on automatically, which was great. Breakfast was outstanding, with a choice of juices, tea, and coffee. My partner enjoyed a full English every morning, whilst I had either boiled eggs and soldiers, or delicious blueberry pancakes. I sent compliments to the chef, the lovely Claire, and said they were better than pancakes I'd eaten in Las Vegas, at a place famous for its pancakes. Ged was the perfect host, always asking if everything was alright. When we had finished eating, and he came to clear up, we always had good conversations with him, sometimes lasting a while. Time is precious, so we really appreciated it. He was genuinely interested in his guests, and offered advice about the area, as well as talking about other topics. There were also lots of informative leaflets in the hallway. I cannot think of anything negative about Beaches, and would recommend it to anyone. It is very well placed, two minutes from the beach, with the lovely Boathouse cafe, and other amenities 5 minutes away. If you have mobility issues, ask for a room on the lowest level. Ged and Claire will go the extra mile to help in any situation. We hope to be back in the not too distant future. Many thanks to the lovely hosts, " danke schön". They deserve to do well. Again, please ignore any bad reviews, they are very unjust.
We just... read more love it here we have stayed here multiple times now over the years and it's now the only b&b we stay at.. we were also lucky (they book up quick) and managed to book a stay over the Easter weekend and on Easter Sunday we were all given a creme egg at breakfast it's just the little things that make it even more of a special place for us to stay, Ged and Claire make you feel so welcome and apart of the family, we always stay in room 1 and it's always been very clean and well presented with very comfy beds, Claire leaves delicious cakes in your room, breakfast is always the perfect amount, well presented and delicious.
On another positive note my youngest jack has adhd and certain things trigger him smells, home comforts and foods etc and his words are 'ive never felt uncomfortable there not once and looks forward to seeing and staying with them again'..
so thank you Ged and Claire we will be back to see you very soon.

Being vegetarian our breakfast was very tasty and just what we needed.
Thank you for a lovely stay and your kindness shown in your home.
I highly recommend the Beaches, a perfect little b&b to explore Paignton and Surrounding areas. ( we stayed due to going to a concert in Torquay) More

A nicely run place.
Parking is a little tricky - not Clare and Ged fault. There is little on street parking and what there is, is taken mostly by local residents.
The B&B is close enough to walk into town, only 5-10 mins away and the sea front is only 2mins away.
Nothing was too much for Ged and Claire, they were perfect hosts.
I would highly recommend The Beaches and will definitely stay again.
Thank you Ged and Claire for making us feel very welcome.
Beaches is a fabulous Bed and Beakfast. Rooms are... read more spotless and comfortable and there is a great choice of tasty breakfasts. Added homemade cakes were a welcome added extra. Dates booked for 2023 before leaving.
Breakfast was high quality produce, locally sourced with plenty of choice. My choice of omelette was the best tasting omelette, bursting with flavour and fillings. The beaches is located right by the beach and local amenities. Torquay is easily reachable by taxi or regular buses.
A stay at The Beaches comes highly recommended where you will be looked after, served top quality food and always with a friendly warm welcome in super clean surroundings.
Thank you Claire and Ged for our perfect stay. We will be back. More
Thank you Ged. Claire.
Location was perfect for us away from the fair & busy pubs. A 20 minute walk to the harbour where there are some fantastic restaurants, we ate at Harbour Lights & T J restaurant, we would recommend both.
Thank you ‘Beaches’. We would recommend this hotel and would stay again when we return to Paignton.

Beaches is a lovely, bright, smart B&B, our room was very comfortable, clean and well-appointed.
Our hosts... read more Jed and Claire were very friendly and welcoming, we had some very good conversation during our stay.
Breakfast was lovely, just right before a short walk to the beach. It was great to be able to leave the car and walk to the beach, it's right on the doorstep.
We would both love to return to Beaches, and I would heartily recommend it to anyone holidaying in Paignton.
Ged & Claire were very welcoming. The room was comfortable, and the shower was hot. Breakfast was small but tasty. Very close to sea front.
