Nice

Nice little B&B, nice owners and friendly. Not serving breakfast at the moment, but they do let you use the microwave. Do have an issue with the parking, only 3 spaces available or you park on the street or pay for car park overnight.

Cute, well kept and tidy. Parking on premises. Wonderful, friendly owners. If many rooms take a shower at the same time, water "goes away" for a couple of minutes (quite common in small B&B:s in the UK). 5-10 mins walk to Paignton Centre and Railway station.

rather cramped but adequate for 1 night. not expensive so, fair enough. We'll upgrade to more spacious and modern rooms for our next visit. Railway line is audible at night which we found soothing. cash only and payment on arrival terms might not suit everyone.

Quirky ensuite rooms with a modern TV room for use by everybody

I enjoyed my time in the deluxe family ensuite (1double and bunk beds) with two friends and although the bathroom was small, it still catered to our needs. The in-room fridge was very helpful especially int the hot weather and TV in the room was helpful when we needed to wind down in the evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast however one of my friends is vegan and with the set menu, she couldn’t have the majority of the meal so opted to self cater.

Very pleasant stay

Thanks -had a great weekend away -good breakfast to start the day -room was cosy & bathroom a bit restrictive as it encroached into the slope of the roof but this was not a major issue considering the price we paid. Service was pleasant & helpful -would definately book there again.

3rd stay at the Bronte - great as usual

This was our 3rd stay at The Bronte and as usual we had a brilliant stay. The room we had was a good size, with everything we needed including a fan which came in very handy during the hot weather! The room was clean and the bathroom although small had a lovely shower. Paul and his wife were friendly and helpful as usual. The Bronte is situated 2-5 mins walk from Preston sands beach and a few mins more from Paignton Beach and pier, where there are plenty of places to eat and drink. Overall a great stay at a good price - I'm sure we will be back next year.

A good budget option

A nice friendly B&B in Paignton. A good budget option with parking outside for up to five cars. Breakfast was nicely cooked and served.

A good basic B&B with very kind and helpful staff.

A good basic B&B. Our room was small but had all the essentials - comfortable bed, chests of drawers and a mini fridge (something which I found useful but unusual for an hotel of this size). The en suite facilities were very small and the shower had a slightly strange habit of changing temperature whilst in use! One very useful and surprising asset at this venue was the internet connection and the pc available for use in the guest lounge together with a functioning printer.

Enkelt men ok, billigt!

Enkelt men ok för den låga kostnaden. Förvänta dig inte för mycket. Lugnt område, nära stranden,trevligt värdpar. Små rum, ok sängar, enkelt men fungerande badrum.
