Advantages: Easy to find your way round, sea air, lots of pubs lol Disadvantages: Gets busy, seagulls, sometimes expensive
Paignton is situated in Torbay between Brixham and Torquay. It?s a busy wee town with plenty to do, it has a quaint charm and is easy to find your way round. A favorite holiday venue particularly with the older generation most people are very friendly. There are many different types of accommodation available in the area. If you?re planning on exploring the whole of Devon having a car is a major advantage but public transport is very good for tourists. But parking is a major problem around Paignton, there are car parks but they get pricey.
Shops
The London Camera Exchange on Hyde road is a must for any tourist who has forgot there camera or needs a new SD card. The staff are all friendly and know what their talking about, they don?t try and push an un-needed sale upon you like so many shops.
The Celtic Bookshop also on Hyde ...

Advantages: Central Disadvantages: Gets very busy in the summer
Paignton part of the English Riveria together with Torquay and Brixham, Paignton is an amazing place to be for a UK Summer Break. The beach is one of the largest on the South Devon with clean waters lovely to go swimming in when the sun is baking hot on your back. Punch & Judy shows, Pony Rides, The Pier, Fish and Chips on the Sea Front, arcades, shopping, camp sites, bed and breakfasts - all of this within walking distance. Paignton is a very friendly place to be placed when on holiday, ideal for just popping into Cornwall for a day out and back again, Dartmoor and Exmoor, under an hours drive away. Why go elsewhere, come to Paignton and enjoy the best of a UK Break in Devon. ...

ARRIVAL AND CHECK IN
'
We arrived on Saturday morning 12th August 2006 at around 11am and although you are not able to book in until 2pm, the staff at the hotel are fantastic. They gave us the parking permit and told us we could come back at 12.30pm, as the room would be ready then. We parked up and went off for an hour or two around the harbour, which is situated about two minutes walk from the hotel. The staff are very warm and friendly and the overall appearance of the reception area is very clean, tidy and well maintained.
