Nothing really to complain about but the score of this hotel is not reflecting the reality (is it due to the fact there are so many "first time review"?) Those people are kind and helpful, the hotel is clean, the breakfast is correct. So everything is good and acceptable and it deserves a 7 but certainly not a 9

The choice for breakfast was very good and was served in a lovely light room. Special diets were accommodated by Julie and Tony with ease. We were made... More

We had a family room for 5 for 1 night. We received a warm welcome with drinks on arrival. Lots of good local knowledge with tips on where to eat and the local area. The room was very clean and comfortable with added little touches like chocolates on the bed, toiletries etc. The breakfasts were fantastic - huge quantities and... More

Received a very warm welcome. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly and the hosts go out of their way to make the stay really special. The hotel has a good quiet location and is very clean, comfortable and offers all possible facilities. Breakfast is a gourmet treat! I heartily recommend this hotel which is outstanding value.

Once again we had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We stayed 5 nights half board. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Paignton. Just a short stroll from both Paignton and Goodrington beaches. Julie and Tony are great hosts and offer a warm welcome and tea and biscuits upon arrival.

We stayed at Sonachan House for 3 nights, family of 4 and mother-in-law in a single. We had no problems and were very pleased with our rooms and facilities. Wonderful breakfasts and a good location into town. Thinking of returning to Paignton if we get a summer this year, and Sonachan House will be the first place we try when... More

We spent 4 nights at Sonachan House and couldn't really fault it. The room was a little small but everything else about Sonachan more than made up for this. Julie and Tony were the best hosts,, so friendly and helpful. They couldn't do enough for us. I don't think we've stayed anywhere else where the room was so clean, bright... More
