Steve and Claire are amazing, it was a pleasure staying at The Clifton for 2 nights, perfect location to the pier, seafront, pubs and bars. Rooms very clean and tidy, everything you need. Breakfast was brilliant, very accommodating with food choice changes. Cost was more than reasonable and the far better than expected for the price. Comfy beds, quiet area and we slept brilliantly. Ours hosts were so friendly and provided a welcoming atmosphere, we have family in Paignton and will 100 percent come back here when we visit again, thanks for a great stay, it was perfect, Ben and Hayley.

A great place to stay

Bed & breakfast or just room if needed. Options to purchase breakfast if required. The owners have thought of everything from ironing boards to usb charging ports. Even a tabletop fridge in the room. Location is outstanding. Central location without the noise. Will definitely return.
