Our hosts warmly welcomed us with a nice cup of coffee, then showed us to our freshly cleaned excellent room, even though we were hours earlier than arrival time. Our free parking was pointed out to us and after we parked properly we followed the signs for the Dartmouth Steam Railway. 3 minutes level walk found us at the Station where the helpful staff gave us our prebooked tickets with no fuss and made us feel really welcome. After a magical steam powered journey to Kingswear, we had a delightful day in beautiful Dartmouth before returning to Paignton. We could have ordered a meal at the Hotel but decided to experience the seafront, so after a level walk of 300 metres we were on the seafront. Amongst the attractions were a fun fair, a pier, 2 crazy golf courses, numerous eateries, including The Costero Loungue, where we ate a really nice curry. St Weonards Hotel is excellent value for money and well placed for aĺl the attractions in Paignton. In the morning cereals, muesli, yoghurt, orange juice, toast and full english breakfast were just part of the numerous excellent choices available. We can't recommend it enough.
