“This century-old building overlooking Torbay houses a pet-friendly accommodation, making it an ideal location with its vicinity to beaches and amusement attractions; interiors have high ceilings and character, with some rooms boasting panoramic views. I think it provides an excellent opportunity to be self-catering, steps away from Paignton Beach, Goodrington Sands Beach and Dartmoor National Park. A stay here promises a relaxing time.”
