Travellers' Choice
Spotless and tastefully decorated guest house. Situated in a quiet conservation area, we are a few minutes walk away from beach, theatre, harbour, shops and Riviera Centre. All rooms are en-suite, free wifi and USB charge points, tea and coffee making facilities and Freeview TV's. To maintain a high standard of cleanliness, non smoking and no pet rules apply. A full breakfast is included with vegetarian and continental options. There is a small car park at the rear for three small cars only, subject to availability, but priority is given to electric cars that need to use our EV charge pod and reserve the space. There is free street car parking but again subject to availability and a Pay-by-App charged car park opposite the front door. The stunning Devon coastline, and delightful Dartmoor are on our doorstep.

came down from birmingham just for a one night stay, have stayed many nights in 4 star hotels for work across the country and wasn’t expecting anywhere near as what we got at Haven House. Located only 5 mins from beach , everything looked fresh , clean , well painted on both the outside and inside. Definitely a well loved and looked after property. Beds were comfy, rooms cosy, well positioned modern tv and nice shower. The drinks well stocked no chance of running out of tea or coffee and refillable water bottles. Finally the breakfast, wow ! expecting a few boxes of cereal and perhaps a small fry up. Breakfast is 10/10 great selection. of cereals yoghurts and fruit, toast racks , pots of tea and coffee and a full english so well cooked and presented i was so impressed. They

Would definitely return as we only stayed one night but Alistair and Mel welcomed us ads though we were staying longer, lovely choice for breakfast too, the guest house is perfect position being only 10 min walk to the seafront, bars and restaurant's. No need to use your car as the buses go everywhere, wouldn't recommend Paignton as it's not like it used to be, it's really run down which is a shame, saying that some people may have a different opinion to us.

We were warmly welcomed by Alistair. The room was clean and comfortable. Mel served us an excellent breakfast, efficiency and with a smile every morning, it really brightened our day. The location is quiet but so close to the beach, takeaways, restaurants, city centre and local attractions, we walked everywhere.

Fantastic one night stay at Haven House. Great location as it’s literally a few minutes walk to the front, and yet the location of Haven House is so quiet at night! Had a great nights sleep. The breakfast is fantastic and made with quality ingredients and all served with a smile by the hosts who are friendly and extremely helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Friendly and welcoming. Our room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and included a TV and tea/coffee making facilities. Great breakfast to set us up for the day! Ideally located in Torquay, close to amenities and plenty of parking. Thank you.
