We have stayed here now 3 times and has never let us down. Chris & Maria always make you feel welcome and nothing is to much trouble andgo beyond to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable and it really is like staying with friends.They are not in your face but there if you need them. It is spotlessly clean & breakfast is brilliant and sets you up for the day. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Paignton look no further you will not be disappointed and close to town, bus & train station & beach all withinwalking distance and regular bus’s to take you to anywhere in Torbay area if you don’t want to drive everywhere. We have never stayed in a B&B 3 years in a row like this so think this says it all 😊 keep up the good work both and hope to see you again next year.

My wife and I stayed at the Belle Dene Guest House from 24 to 27 July whilst looking at various properties for us to move to in Torbay. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left Maria and Chris could not have been more friendly, accommodating and helpful.We stayed in room 5 (on the top floor) which was both extemely clean and comfortable, offering views toward the sea. The room had plenty of all the mod cons you would expect from a 4 star hotel and the breakfast was to die for. The off road car parking was an added bonus and allowed us to leave the car and visit the many bars and restaurants in Paignton by foot.We have since had an offer accepted on a property that we viewed and are now looking forward to becoming residents in Paignton. We aim to visit the Guest House and see Maria and Chris when we do eventually move as we certianly felt that we initially arrived as strangers but certainly left as friends.Thanks once again for making our stay so enjoyable.

We liked the environmentally friendly large refillable bottles of shampoo, shower gel and body lotion.The tea and coffee had nice little extras added like biscuits and chocolate. The bathroom also had thoughtful extra supplies, such as hand sanitiser, cotton pads and a sewing kit.The front garden is obviously very well loved and looked after.We were really pleased we chose Belle Dene!

I stayed alone, at this lovely guest house recently. The room I stayed in, room 4,was a lovely room, spotlessly clean and comfortable. It didn’t have an en suite but this was no problem as I had a lovely private shower room just down the hall. A robe was provided for the short journey. The shower room was again spotlessly clean. There was also a sink in the bedroom which was handy, along with tea and coffee making equipment, a good sized wardrobe, mirror and a hairdryer.In the morning the food was really lovely, I had yogurt and fresh fruit followed by a vegetarian breakfast, beautifully cooked, I have probably put on a few pounds as it was so good I just had to eat it all! I saw others having the traditional cooked breakfast and that looked really good, good size and variety.The hosts were really accommodating, friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. They even accommodated the extra early breakfast time I requested.The location is great for the station, bus station, the beach and shops. It’s also a pleasant walk to Torquay and Brixham. There are also parking spaces available.I would highly recommend this guest house.

Thanks Maria and Chris for being wonderful hosts on both my visits this spring. I wasn’t on holiday, but on family business, which involved nursing homes, banks, doctors, printing out forms, and other stressful things. They were super helpful and supportive. I arrived with jet lag and was super thirsty. My in room ’tea’ tray was endlessly replenished, they humored me with other extras and made everything so much better than it could have been. Love the new breakfast room, which Chris adapted between visits. Thanks so much, guys. I will be back.

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Belle Dene Guest House. Our room was very clean and tidy. Free parking is provided. There is a beautiful garden to the front with a table and chairs for guests to relax in. Breakfast was the best we've had, such a variety of choices. The most impressive aspect of our stay was Maria and Chris, the hosts. A warm and friendly couple, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Little touches like hot water bottles in a basket on the stairs, umbrella's for guests to use and Maria offering to fill our water bottles and pop them in the fridge on a daily basis made such a difference. We highly recommend Belle Dene as the prefect place to stay while exploring South Devon.

We stayed for four nights and only wish we could have stayed longer.The place is spotlessly clean, the rooms are very comfortable with little extras which made us feel welcome.The breakfast is the best we have had anywhere and was freshly cooked and with fresh produce. Maria and Chris are the perfect hosts and always keen to answer any questions we had about the area.The location was great, just a two minute walk to the beach and shops, and just a few minutes more to a variety of restaurants and other venues. The bus station, train station and the Railway Steam Train are all within a five minute walk.This Guest House was recommended to us and we would certainly recommend it to others and we would hope to return again.

We have just returned from staying at the belle dene for 4 great nights . We stayed in room 1 , which had a large comfy bed , tassimo machine , kettle , tv , and a mini google which we used to play music on or get the days weather . The bathroom was nice and large and had a great walk in shower .Breakfast was lovely, plenty of choice and cooked perfectly, I used to have waffles and bacon and they were homemade and tasted wonderful. You have to pick breakfast the night before unless you are going to have the same all wk , but that’s to do with COVID .The hosts Dave and Carol are really friendly and are doing a great job , felt very safe in the guest house , it’s very clean and just a lovely place to stay , you are greeted and shown to your room then invited for a brew and a piece of homemade cake . Will definitely stay again when we are next coming down to Devon , Thankyou again for a lovely stay .

I booked this B&B mainly because it had parking and also that it had very high reviews. Nothing bad whatsoever could be said apart from the fact it’s not big enough because I think places like this get reviews that don’t really explain much but to me it was cosy and cute and has a perfect location and perfect hosts.

Not the prettiest outlook but everything else about this place was perfect. A warm welcome, comfortable and well appointed rooms.

Would not hesitate to recommend this guesthouse - an absolute delight.

We have stayed with Dave and Carol on several occasions and it has always been an absolute pleasure. We always receive such a warm welcome the bedrooms are spotlessly clean and the homemade jams, marmalades and breakfast is wonderful. It is also in such a convenient location a few minutes stroll from the sea front and main Street. They have even gone to the trouble of reviewing local restaurants themselves and included it in the guest booklet in your room. For us there is no other place to stay in Paignton.

Yet again a lovely stay with David and Carole. I stayed with my sister and two nieces and we all enjoyed our stay. Lovely breakfasts!
Reviewer: Cynthia C | Sat 24th Nov 2018 | 6 years ago
I've stayed in the single room here on three occasionsand have nothing but praise for the owners. As you would expect nowadays the room comes with coffee and biscuits and a good wifi connection. The single room has a bathroom that is a short walk down the corridor but there is a wash basin in the bedroom to fill the kettle or wash your teeth. All other rooms have an integral toilet and shower. Breakfast, between 8 and 9 daily, is the usual full English or some lighter options plus toast, cereals, yogurt and fruit juices which was more than enough for me. The location is probably 250m from the station and the beach. The free car park was a big plus for me as I could leave my car there rather than in the adjacent multi story car park! Plenty of power points in my room for all the electronic gear that we carry nowadays. The bedroom table was a little cramped for computer work but I managed and the lack of kippers on the breakfast menu might disappoint some(!) but overall this is probably the best B&B for its price that I have been to in this area. If you choose to stay then you will not be disappointed.
Reviewer: Alan B | Tue 6th Nov 2018 | 6 years ago
Thank you very much for a very special relaxing stay. Carol and Dave run a very clean guest house with lots of little touches that make Belle Dean perfect. The home made bread, marmalade and jams, the speacials on the breakfast board, the tea cosy for the tea pot very comfortable bed . Thank you see you both next time.

Excellent short stay with extremely welcoming hosts. The twin bedded room we had was spotlessly clean, fantastic walk in shower (much appreciated). A varied breakfast menu was offered which was delicious. We appreciated the attention to detail at the Belle Dene. Our suitcases were carried to our room for us, hot water bottles were provided as it went cold at night. I would highly recommend this 4* guest house and will certainly visit there again.
Reviewer: A A | Mon 24th Sep 2018 | 6 years ago
The best B&B we've stayed in for a long time. We were made welcome with tea and cake on arrival and given lots of information about the best places to eat locally and what to visit. The house was spotless and the breakfasts are delicious with local produce and hone-made bread. The location was excellent for the seafront, the town and public transport. Big bonus - parking on site!
Reviewer: Elaine S | Sun 23rd Sep 2018 | 6 years ago
I stayed for tgree nights at Belle Dene, and had room 4, a single on the first floor. There is a washbasin in the room, but the private shower and toilet is down the landing. A bathrobe was provided. The room was nice and clean, and reasonably bright given that the small window is at a strange angle to the rest of the room. There is adequate storage, and plenty of power points (including USB sockets). The bed was comfortable.I enjoyed my stay, and would certainly stay here again. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful, and provided an excellent, high quality breakfast (including some of the best bacon I have had for a long time). Overall, it was very good value.

Carol and Dave were very welcoming. As soon as we walked through the door we felt at home! We were shown to our room by Dave, who also showed us around and told us about local places to eat, drink and visit in the area. Very clean and tidy. Daily room service.Breakfast was included in our rates, and that was excellent. They make their own bread, and bought as much produce as they could as locally as they could. This really showed in the quality of the breakfasts!All in all, we loved it, and will definitely stay there again, and will recommend to friends. Can't praise them enough!Thank you!!
Reviewer: Matt L | Thu 6th Sep 2018 | 6 years ago
My friend and I stayed 3 days. The whole house was very clean and very nice. The stairway might be a bit exhausting with large suitcases (just guessing) but everything else was amazing. The breakfast area was also used for eating take out by guests. The breakfast was also great. Even if you dont like the traditional english breakfast you would be happy with cereal, fruits, toast, eggs and nore. The atmosphere was like eating with friends. The other guests and Dave and Carol were very nice and recommended activites for the day or gave directions. Last but not least the decor of the house was great. I would discribe it as british cute with sea atmosphere. the location of the hotel ia also great. Near the sea, great for walks, but also near the mainstreet. Just stay there and see for yourself. Believe me you will not be disappointed. I will definitly stay there again.

The Breakfast was superb, defiantly more than enough to set you up for the day. Paignton Pier is at the bottom of the road & the town centre 3 minutes walk the other way. The biggest bonus for me was Free off road parking, A lot of other guests houses you have to park in the street or Multi storey.Thank you Again Dave & Carol, will cetainly book you again when we are in the area.

This is a gem of a B and B couldn't ask for more
Reviewer: Christopher C | Sun 6th Nov 2016 | 8 years ago
If you want a comfortable, spotlessly clean guesthouse with charming hosts then look no further as Belle Dene ticks all the boxes. The location is great as its close to the shops, park and seafront but has the added bonus of being tucked away up a quiet side street. There are many good restaurants, bars and coffee shops all within easy walking distance. Another bonus is you have free off road parking and the best home cooked breakfast you could ever wish for. If we stay in Paignton again it will be in the Belle Dene Guest House.

We stayed two nights at the Belle Dene Guest House in Paignton.From the moment we were cordially greeted by David at the door and crossed the threshold we relaxed.Tea and home-made fruit-cake in their colourful, aromatic garden started the five-star experience.Their eye for detail was always in evidence.Our evening restaurant was recommended and booked in advance for us.This was so good we returned the second evening.David's experience in the higher echelons of catering education was evident in the quality and presentation of the breakfast both mornings.Carol's home-made bread admirably enhanced the two meals.Their outgoings natures generate a lively atmosphere whilst not being intrusive.It is all gold we can say nor more.
Reviewer: Alan C | Sun 28th Aug 2016 | 8 years ago
Having just spent 6 days at Belle Dene guest house, I cannot praise Dave and Carol enough. They are the perfect hosts, always willing to go the extra mile to make your stay memorable. The food is excellent which is either homemade or locally sourced, the full English breakfast was a great starter for the day and the daily specials would not be out of place in a top London Hotel. Rooms always clean and tidy, even has private parking which makes life so much easier being right in the middle of Paignton. The welcome at breakfast is always warm and bubbly and nothing is ever too much trouble. A must to make your stay in Paignton trouble free and very enjoyable.

Dave and Carol were able to recommend various good restaurants and their knowledge of the local area was so helpful to us. Our room was lovely and quiet with tea making facilities, bottled water and biscuits everyday. Breakfast everyday was amazing, plenty of choice each day, offering fresh local produce. The acomodation is only a 5 mins walk to the beech, the shops and the train station! We will recommend this guest house to all our friends and family. Thank you Dave and Carol for a great holiday.

We have just spent an amazing week at Belle Dene Guest House. We have found a very SPECIAL JEWEL amongst all the other guest houses. Our room was beautiful and so comfortable in every respect.Any guest would find it difficult to find a speck of dirt in this spotlessly clean house. Fabulously beautiful garden to sit in, so relaxing with the sound of the fountain and the fragrance from the gorgeous flowers and plants, especially so with a coffee and a slice of Daves home made fruit cake! Breakfast was a very tasty experience including scrummy home made bread, no cheap food in this establishment! Dave and Carol are such friendly hosts and made us feel at home instantly. They were both very helpful with useful information with regard for things to do and see in the area which they had actually done themselves, meaning they could give a positive opinion.We will be back in November and looking forward to it already! A huge thank you for a wonderful week in this fabulous guest house, our very SPECIAL JEWEL in Paignton. from Jenny and Derek

Very pleasant two night stay. Carol and Dave are brilliant hosts. The breakfasts are excellent. All in all a very comfortable stay. Just wish it could have been for longer.

Dave and Carol could not have tried harder to ensure our stay was a big success. The property is immaculately clean, well-appointed and comfortable [with off-street parking] and the breakfasts are amazing!
Reviewer: Peter W | Sun 19th Jun 2016 | 8 years ago
Had a lovely 2 night stay. Very clean, comfortable room with lots of extra added touches. Dave and Carol are very welcoming (we especially enjoyed our tea and cake on arrival!). Breakfast was delicious! Very accommodating too as we needed an early breakfast both days and this wasn't a problem at all. We would highly recommend this guest house and would definitely stay here again. We weren't here for a holiday but did manage to go for a wander and this guest house is in a perfect location! 2 mins from beach but also just back enough to be quiet at night, perfect! Thank you 😊

Just had a fantastic 4 nights away in this outstanding guesthouse. The decor was crisp and new and the breakfast was 5 star with fantastic choice. Amazing to see a 'specials' board as an option for brekkie! The hosts David and Carol were absolutely lovely and we felt we were leaving family as we drove reluctantly away after a fabulous break.

Me and my partner had a 2 night stay at the belle dene andit was absolutely faultless. On arrival we were met by dave and carol. What a lovely couple. We were given tea and fruitcake which my other half demolished lol. Told us about the local places to go for a drink. Rooms were spotless and the breakfast each morning was stunning. Will definitely be returning as we had such a welcome off dave and carol. Probably the best welcome we have ever had when we have gone away.

My wife Jo and I have just spent 3 days at the Belle Dene Guest House in Paignton. What a great place! Superb customer service. We arrived early after a 5 hour journey and not only could we book in straight away but Dave the owner carried our case upstairs and then made us a cup of coffee and gave us each a piece of cake! What a welcome! Our room was delightful and breakfast each day was freshly cooked and delicious. Would recommend this establishment to anyone and we would definitely stay there again. Thank you David and Carol.

We arrived at the Belle Deane House and we were warmly greeted by Carol and Dave. Dave helped us up to our room and Carol made a lovely hot drink and a piece of home made fruit cake which we had in the garden. We were very happy about our two night stay and found that nothing was too much trouble. The room No 5 was on the second floor and it was set up for every thing we would need. The breakfast was very very good. Tasty and the sort of breakfast to set you up for the day.All to quickly it was time to go with thoughts of a return visit. We would not hesitate to recommend the Belle Dene House for a welcome break away.Tony & Sue

Reviewer: Richard S | Sun 30th Aug 2015 | 9 years ago
This was my first time in Paignton and I will be returning.Belle Dene is a short walk from the seafront and the town, and is ideally situated for travel to nearby Brixham and Torquay.The owners, Dave and Carol, met us on arrival with a smile and that continued throughout the 3 days we spent with them.The accommodation itself was nice and clean and our room (5) had all you could need including a nice bed. My only suggestion would be that the woodchip wallpaper, which was on all walls and even the ceiling, should be consigned to the 80's from whence it came.However I am sure that Dave and Carol will sort that out in time.Breakfast was lovely, with a choice of cooked items as well as cereals, fruit etc. Dave does the cooking and he's pretty good.His poached eggs were as good as you can get.My experience of B&B's is limited but I can't imagine a better place, all round.Great value for money and lovely, friendly hosts.Perfect.Thanks.

It was good to find that not only was the welcome as warm as advertised, but the food was generally locally sourced and the bread homemade. Room adequate, clean and comfortable and quieter than one might have expected from being so central. Only disadvantage was bathroom being down the corridor, but generally good value and will probably return in September.

We stayed with Dave and Carole, from Thursday 11th June for 3 nights as we had a Christening to attend in Marldon on the Sunday. The Belle Dean was a delightful choice, we have been to Paignton many times but usually stay with friends. The Belle Dean was very clean with comfy beds and pillows, the rooms were cleaned and made up everyday, the breakfast was delicious, Carole and Dave are very welcoming and really cant do enough for you. The location is great, a short walk from everywhere!!There are hundreds of B&Bs in Painton, I chose The Belle Dean because of its good reviews and because Belle is my mums name....I will certainly be back..

Having worked with Carol there was no doubt in my mind that they would run a very good B&B. The room is small but I had a very good nights sleep on all three nights of our stay. Dave cooked us a very nice morning meal that should have a gold star, I could not have done better. We will be booking for a week in September 2016 nad already cannot wait. Well done Carol and Dave.

Wir haben drei Nächte im Belle Dene bei Carol und Dave verbracht.Es war eine so tolle Zeit, dass der Abschied richtig schwer fiel und wir gerne noch länger bei den beiden geblieben wären. Wir haben uns wie bei Freunden gefühlt. Alles was sehr persönlich und herzlich. Zur Begrüßung gab es selbstgebackenen Früchtekuchen und Englischen Tee, das Frühstück wurde frisch für uns gekocht und die Zimmer sind mit kleinen persönlichen Gegenständen lieb eingerichtet.Und selbst als unser Meitwagen eine Reifenpanne hatte, haben Carol und Dave sich herzlich um uns gekümmert. Wir haben uns von den beiden toll unterstützt gefühlt!Das B&B liegt sehr zentral. Zum Meer und der Innenstadt sind es nur einen Katzensprung. Auch die Umgebung lässt sich von Paignton aus perfekt erkunden.Ich würde Carol und Dave jederzeit wieder besuchen!!!

Carol & Mike kindly let us use their travel cot which saved some room in our car. The room was well equipped and the bathroom in very good condition.They also allowed us to use their microwave to sterilize our daughters bottles which was brilliant.Again the breakfast was exceptional.We would definitely stay here again.

The shower room was clean and all facilites were in working order.The bed was comfortable and the room temperature the same. I was 38 weeks pregnant at the time so these things were quite important!!The breakfast was extremely good. Full english cooked well and tasted great.

This was our first time staying in Paignton with an idea to see the sea and visit the brilliant zoo without the stress of a same day travel.It is the small things that count and Dave and Carol have ticked all the boxes and more. From a warm welcome at the door where Dave had already known my name from the booking and provided complimentary hot drinks and a lovely treat, to the wonderfully decorated and clean room. A sound nights sleep soon followed.In the morning the breakfast was held in a quaint dining room, served with locally sourced produce for a traditional and delicious start to the day.We were sorry that we only stayed one night and shall definitely be returning again.

We were visiting Paignton for an evening reception and booked Belle Dene based on it's good reviews. We were not disappointed at all. A lovely cosy guest house with a warm welcome. Our room was lovely, clean and cosy with a modern beach theme throughout. Tea/coffee and bottled water was available.The en-suite was small but spotless with enough towels and shower gel/shampoo available. Breakfast was a choice of traditional full English, vegetarian, lighter option together with a daily special plus cereals, juice. We both had the full English and I can honestly say that this was probably the best cooked breakfast I have had whilst staying away! The only thing I would change is to put some background music on in the dining room, but that is more personal choice rather than a criticism. Thank you for a lovely short stay, we will definitely return if in the area again.

This B&B was very comfortable and clean, with very good facilities, tea and coffee in the room, excellent breakfast and ample parking. The owners where very welcoming.

Dave & Carol were perfect hosts and far exceeded expectations! They even went online and printed a list of rooms available to rent for my son. The twin room was immaculate, spotlessly clean with the usual tea/coffee making facilities. Full English Breakfast was delicious and the room rate extremely competitive. I will be returning soon to visit my son and will not book anywhere else. The B & B is next door to the green with pond and swans yet still only 5 mins walk to the town and stones throw away from the beach.I advise you book early and see for yourself !!!.

We are two mature ladies (friends). The above choices do not cover our status as we are not a couple.Belle Dene Guest House was an excellent choice for us as it was so centrally located near to the train and bus stations, the shops and the beach.It was spotlessly clean and the full English breakfast with home baked bread was delicious.We found the owners Dave and Carol to be extremely friendly and helpful and we would not hesitate to go back there again in the future.

Warm welcoming hosts, bright clean accommodation and superb locally sourced breakfast,what more could you want.Add to that a very convienient location and onsite parking. We highly recommend Belle Dene for a stay in Paignton.
Reviewer: Lynda M | Fri 19th Sep 2014 | 10 years ago
What a delightful surprise is Belle Dene!! Lovely decor, impeccibly clean, extremely well furnished and the friendliest owners one could ever find. On top of it all, David is a true chef and he produces a fantastic breakfast -- to order. Carole is the other half of this host team and is a delight to meet. We didn't intend to stay in Paington, it just worked into our travels. But we will probably go back again because staying at the Belle Dene is worth the trip.

We stayed for two nights only but would be very happy to stay longer. The friendly owners went beyond what we would expect to make us feel at home. The room and on-suite was kept very clean and the breakfast provided could not be faulted. The location was excellent for visiting the area, with lots to see and do. We would certainly return and hope to do so.

An excellent 3 night stay with Carol and Dave in the Belle Dene, the room was all that we wanted and more. Staying in room number 1 it was spacious for two adults and a 5 year old.The cooked breakfast each morning was superb as to was the home made bread. All in all an excellent stay with a great family feel. Oh and a great welcome much needed after a traffic ridden journey, the scones and tea were a great welcome.We would highly recomend the Belle Dene and would stay again.Neil, Sarah & Kieran.
