    Nothing bad worth mentioning, it was a great stay.

    Excellent location, beautiful place, welcoming and lovely hosts. Quirky decor and lots of toys for the kids made it extra special.

    We came to Norwegian wood with my elderly mother in law. We had a fantastic stay. Heather made us very welcome and could not do enough for us. Sadly I didn't get to meet John but I will look forward to meeting him when we next visit. Everything was first class from the cleanliness of the rooms to the magnificent organic breakfast cooked by Heather. I have no hesitation at recommending this holiday home

    Our stay was absolutely amazing. Heather and John were impeccable hosts and went above and beyond for us and our 3 children. We were able to have a small bbq in the front garden, and they even offered to do a load of washing after the kids jumped in to the sea fully clothed. 😂 You know it is a good holiday when you start discussing going back before you leave and we can not wait to book our next visit in the near future at such a quirky picturesque B&B

    Nothing, it was all great.

    Heather and her husband were so kind and considerate throughout our entire stay. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious, and she always accommodated our requests and catered for my allergies, which put me at ease. The B&B was not far from the beach (10-15minute walk), so the location was great. We loved the apartment it was clean and comfy, and the views were beautiful. We adored the cats that live at the property. They were so sweet and great with the children. Our children loved it and are already asking when we can go back. We look forward to returning.

    The weather was the only thing I could moan about but neither Heather or John could be held responsible for that😄

    The owners were very welcoming, nothing appeared to be too much trouble and we felt comfortable and were able to completely relax. It was ideally situated for our needs in a beautiful location. I have no hesitation at all in rating very highly.

    Our family had an amazing time in this stunning house. It has a peaceful location, close to the beach. The garden is wonderful and our kids enjoyed playing outside. The rooms were very comfortable, exceptionally clean and tidy. The bathroom was fully equipped and the living room had several toys and board games for children. Heather was very welcoming and helpful, she recommended great places to visit. The breakfast was delicious and covered everything. Highly recommend it for couples and for families.

    I honestly loved this Appartment and wouldn't change anything. The place was very clean and it wasn't far from the bus stop for us to travel. We was a perfect even distance from both Torquay and Paignton.

    Heather and John have a wonderful home with beautiful scenery. The view is second to none and the Appartment has plenty of space and room for our large family. The breakfast was excellent and our host gave us everything we needed as a large vegan family.

Very friendly and full of local knowledge. Their breakfast covers everything and is delicious. The rooms are spacious and versatile as well as immaculate.

The room was lovely, very nice view of the sea and there were even toys for our 2 children to play with. It is a short walk to the beach and 10 minutes away from Paignton Town Centre.

    I can honesty say there was nothing we didn’t like apart from the fact we had to go home!😊 we will definitely be using this place again as there is plenty of space for the children to move around.

    Our stay was extremely satisfying with a lovely homely atmosphere. Breakfast was served by the very friendly face with endless options to cater for all. The location was perfect, very close to the beach and other amenities.

    1 small issue WiFi was abit spotty in bedroom with single bed issues with streaming YouTube but absolutely fine for going on social media and Internet access.

    Heather was so lovely honestly went out of her way to accommodate us we took 2 small children aged 14 months and 4 years old she would talk to them and always tried to entertain them during breakfast. Breakfast was lovely so many options. We didn't like cheery tomatoes so she switched them out for tin tomatoes. Went out of her way to get the kids chocolate shreddies when she didn't have to. The rooms where lovely brillaint for all aged family brilliant if you have mixed ages of kids (adult children travelling with you) even had a visit from one of the cats in the living area we had which the kids loved. The location of the property was great we did have a car however only took us 25 mins to walk along the beach to the pier (with 2 small kids). Would definitely stay here again.
