Just back from a lovely week at Glencoe Apartment 3 . Situated at the back of the property so very quiet and with good view across the rooftops. Apartments are on the sea front and have their own parking right outside (free) which is a bonus in Paignton Well equipped with comfy beds. Spotlessly clean. Great value for money. Owners are friendly and helpful and we were made to feel very welcome. Added bonus of a week of sunshine in late September. Lots of lovely walks along the coast.

Owner's reply
Hi Anne-Maria, it was such a pleasure to welcome you to Glencoe, and we’re so pleased you enjoyed your week here. The late September sunshine really was a gift this year — perfect for those coastal walks. We’re glad you found the apartment peaceful and comfortable, and it means a lot that you felt so at home with us. Thank you as well for leaving everything so neat and cared for during your stay. We’d love to welcome you back whenever you’re next in Paignton. Warm regards, James & Anna

We stayed in apartment 1 it was lovely and clean everything you could possibly need was there for us hair dryer iron all cleaning products ECT lovely sea view parking right outside the building walking distance to the harbour pier and high Street. James and anna a lovely friendly couple made us feel welcome James met us and shown us all around would definitely go back again

Owner's reply
Hi Paula, Thank you so much for such a kind and detailed review — it really was a pleasure having you both to stay. We’re so pleased Apartment 1 felt comfortable and well-equipped for you, and that its location made it easy to enjoy everything Paignton has to offer, from the harbour and pier to the steam railway. It’s also lovely to hear that the apartment worked well with your husband’s scooter, as making things accessible and straightforward for guests is really important to us. We do understand your point about the seafront being lively in the evenings — it’s part of having those wonderful views right on the doorstep. For next time, we’d be happy to suggest one of our quieter rear-facing apartments if you’d prefer a more peaceful spot. Thank you again for looking after everything so thoughtfully during your stay — it makes such a difference. We’d be delighted to welcome you both back whenever you’re next in Paignton. Warm regards, James & Anna
