  • Dawn

    “The property on the whole is comfortable, shower is great, very poweeful but its very tired looking in places, the flooring in the downstairs toilet is coming up and smells like a public toilet, the toilet seats in both upstairs bathrooms are cheap plastic and are badly fitted.”

    The empty bottles of reed diffusers are unnecessary and look like tacky ornaments. Replace them or simply bin them. The cooker hood desperately requires cleaning as it drips grease onto the hob. The seal on the fridge is poor. Overall, a nice property that with a bit of TLC could be made so much nicer.

The property

Just a one minute walk to the beach and beautifully finished interior is 7 The Retreat, situated in the wonderful coastal town of Paignton in South Devon.

This three-storey semi-detached cottage has been lovingly appointed to meet your needs throughout your stay.

The ground floor occupies a cloakroom as you step in, before you arrive at the bright and spacious lounge showcasing a plush sofa and two armchairs along with a Smart TV.

This is a delightful space to chill out with friends or family, enjoying the nautical theme carried through the rooms, the coastal blues and creams uplift a neutral base.

Step through the double doors to the kitchen/diner, benefitting sleek base and wall units and all the mod cons to make you feel at home.

Just off from the sitting room you can access the rear terrace, complete with patio furniture and a lovely little summerhouse, so you can still enjoy sitting outdoors, even on windy autumn days.

The side gate is a handy addition to the property for access with beach gear and bicycles.

Inside the bedrooms are spread over the first and second floors, with plush carpet sweeping up the staircases.

Each one boasts an en-suite and fabulous soft furnishings with a luxurious, modern finish; the loft room has two single beds with the bathroom showcasing complimenting colour schemes, adding style and charm to the cottage.

The light Velux windows draw in a plethora of natural light, brightening up the room further.

Step out from the front-facing bedroom on the first floor and enjoy the enchanting balcony.

Close by is Preston Sands, a delightful sandy beach with seafront cafés and colourful beach huts.

Stroll along on a balmy afternoon and soak up the breezy seaside atmosphere, the coastal path leads the way to Preston Green and the delights of the Victorian esplanade.

With the picturesque harbour and a bustling assortment of shops, pubs and restaurants nearby; you simply won't want to leave this fantastic retreat in Devon.
