Salty Dog

Paignton's seafront is dominated by the pier, amusement arcades, and a stretch of restaurants and bars that keeps families occupied for days. Salty Dog sits directly across from all of this—a lower ground floor apartment at Suncrest Holiday Cottages where you're steps from the sand and the action. The property sleeps four: a bedroom with two single beds, a sofa bed in the open-plan living space, and a shower room. The living area flows into a kitchen equipped for cooking proper meals rather than relying on takeaways, and there's a television if anyone needs a quieter afternoon.

You get the whole place to yourself, plus parking for one car on site. Essentials like bed linen, towels, electricity and wi-fi are included. The location means you can walk to Paignton Pier, the Vue cinema, and crazy golf without needing to drive, though if you want to explore further—Torquay's marina is nearby, as is Brixham—having a car helps. The apartment is no smoking. Arrive from 3pm, depart by 10am.
