“Cannot fault it ! Simply the Best.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2010

The moment you walk through the door is just like being home from home.
The hotel is just a short distance from Paignton & Goodrington seafronts, shops, bus & train stations where you can travel to other parts of the region easily. On site car parking, gardens, Freeview televisions in all rooms, Wi-Fi, fully stocked bar, large comfortable lounge, ground floor bedrooms available, special offers at certain times of the year and much much more.
Take a look at their website and give it a try - It`s Simply The Best.

“Excellent Guest House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2010

We were greeted in a very friendly way, with the offer of tea and biscuits. The room was very clean and had all you could require. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. (Lots of coat hangers in the wardrobe girls). Hair dryer, only a little thing but plenty of power. After a walk the beach front we went back to the B & B and had a couple of drinks and a friendly chat with the owners. We had a very comfortable night. The range of food offered for breakfast was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection, my partner made the most of the cooked breakfast, but as I am on a diet I went for fruit and yoghurt, so there is a selection for all.
We only stayed 2 nights, but at breakfast the next day they had noted all our requirements.
Best B & B we have ever stayed at.

“A really nice host, a bit too high on the slope”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010

We stayed a couple of days at Sonachan House and it was a great experience. We were pleased to find a very welcoming host who gave us plenty of hints on what to do in Paington.
The room was at the top of the building with stunning views of the Paington beach and pier. It had a very good size, with a double bed and a single one (although we were only 2 people). Only hint: test the sides of the bed: the right one had the shape of all people who have slept there, the left one felt much better... odd...
The only negative point could be the red button you have to switch outside the toilet if you want hot water (I had to travel all my way down to reception to find out). Oh, and maybe the very poor water pressure in the shower. But hey, you are on the top of a hill and at the attic of a building, so I guess it is normal.
The slope where the B&B sits is a bit too much if you carry your own case from the city centre, but they have a lovely garden with some parking available for guests if you drive. Oh, and a couple of guinea pigs and a rabbit that would entertain every child!!

“Excellent, will certainly return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2010

We stayed at Sonachan House taking over 5 rooms as a extended family of 3 generations. Tony and Julie run a little gem of a hotel in a great location being a short walk to Goodington and it's lovely park and beach, and also another short (10min) walk in the other direction to Paignton with it's shops and pier and beach. The hotel is very clean and well maintained, and the rooms well equipped. Tony and Julie are very welcoming and friendly and the food is wonderful and very ample. Bar prices are very reasonable. We all enjoyed our stay very much and would not hesitate to return. Thankyou.
