Escape to a cosy two-bed cottage with Fido for a relaxing coastal break in a charming South Devon seaside town. Discover the seafood restaurants, green spaces and beaches on your doorstep in the daytime and relax in this homely and welcoming holiday home in the evening – where you can dine alfresco or put your feet up in the lounge.

Inside the property is a compact but well-organised one-wall kitchen with cheerful tiling and plenty of natural light. After cooking a special meal for your loved ones, tuck in at the table in the dining room with coastal decor and access to the garden. The warm neutral-toned living room has a two-seater Ercol sofa and two armchairs plus a TV. There is also a separate WC on the ground floor. Upstairs is a family bathroom plus two bedrooms – a double with an en-suite and a twin room. Outside is a gravel courtyard with furniture.

Stay in the historic town of Paignton with an array of eateries and shops within 0.5 miles of your doorstep. Take your four-legged friend for a stroll around the nearby green spaces – such as Young’s Park (0.5 miles), which has a pond and Clennon Gorge nature reserve and Clennon Valley Lakes (1 mile). Explore the numerous swimming spots in the town – Fairy Cove (less than 0.5 miles) and Goodrington Beach North Sands (1.5 miles) are both canine-welcoming all year round. Take a picnic to Roundham Head Cliff Gardens (less than 0.5 miles) for spectacular views of the coastline and access to the South West Coast Path.

This is a lovely property very handy to all local areas. The decor was wonderful with lots of naval touches. We specifically enjoyed the separate dining room which made eating a very civilised affair.

The cottage is beautiful and very well looked after. The location was perfect for the harbour, the pier and Paignton town centre. The kitchen had everything we needed and the whole place was very comfortable. The only thing that would have made things little easier would have been access to wi-fi so we could look up dog friendly things to do and plRead moreaces to go. We did end up using a fair bit of mobile data. This was our second visit here and we would definitely stay again. Hide

A lovely comfortable cottage in a fantastic location in Paignton, close to beaches, harbour, shops etc. Everything you need is provided. ( No WiFi but that made the week a lot more restful! ) Hope to return.

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.

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.
