“great place to stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

the welcome was great with a nice cuppa after a long trip to get here. great place to stay. i have never seen a place with so much information leaflets on things to do & other local info.nice & clean. quiet location. the only downside for me was breakfast was not early enough [08:00 was the earliest]. the only other matter was the noise some nights from the bar area but i was in a down stairs room close by. would i recommend that would be a yes.

“Excellent value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

We were welcomed with a cup of tea and alocal map, which was a good start! The room was spacious and comfortable and overlooked the garden. Sonachan House is a short walk from town and has onsite parking, so is ideally situated. We enjoyed our 4 night stay and would definitely stay again if in the area.

“Best guest house in Paignton!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

Just got back from an absolutely great break, staying with Tony & Julie at Sonachan House. This was our second time here but even better than the first.
We are a family of 5 with three young children so have found it difficult in the past to find such high standard accomodation. Sonochan House provides this and much more. The cleanliness and standards of the rooms is very high and gives a very homely feel to your stay. Tony & Julie provide a service that even some well known hotels struggle to give and their hard work in keeping this high standard is evident.
The breakfast in the morning is great and one of the best ones we have had - the children are well catered for too.
We cannot recommend this guest house enough and plan to return whenever we are in the area. If you intend on visiting Devon please give Sonachan a go - you won't be disappointed!

“We thoroughly enjoyed it and we will definitely be back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

We were welcomed and made to feel at home instantly. You won't find anyone better than the Smyth family to run a bed and breakfast as the teamwork was faultless. Our room was immaculate from the moment we stepped through the door. When returning to our room from days out towels had been changed, tea/coffee making facilities had been replenished and floors had been hoovered. Food was cooked and presented to a high standard every time.

Room Tip: All rooms are to a high standard.

“Highly recommended!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2011

Just back from a weekend break in Paignton, staying for the first time at Sonachan House. Everything was perfect. A lovely welcome with a cup of tea, a map and local info on where to eat and drink. A really good room, bright and spacious with a sea view. Shower was good and the bed comfortable. Breakfast excellent. Would definitely stay here again.
