A peaceful space to sit, elevated above the treeline where you can enjoy the view whilst enjoying your morning coffee or an evening tipple with the setting sun. The path winds down through the garden and a gate leads you into the woodland, to enjoy gorgeous morning/afternoon strolls through the trees to relax and rejuvenate.

Leighwood Cottage is situated in a well-regarded area of Upper Preston and is located some 1.3 miles (a good healthy walk, or a couple of minutes drive), from the well-known Preston Sands and seafront greens. Preston is located just outside of the hustle and bustle of Paignton town, while still being close to link roads for travelling and exploring the rest of Torbay and the South Hams.
A favourite among locals is the nearby Occombe farm café, within easy walking distance (0.7 miles) up the road from the property, for a hearty breakfast/lunch. Another favourite is the Church House Inn, a traditional pub with a beamed ceiling and exposed stone wall, just a 5-minute drive away (1.5 miles), and serving great local food and drink. The closest pub is Ye Olde Smokey, which is a little over 1 mile away and is famous for its weekend carveries. Whatever your reason for visiting the area, this is a great base from where to start.

We stayed at Leighwood Cottage 6-12 September, it was very clean and comfortable, everything we needed was there, even fluffy bath robes. Sue left us a nice welcome pack, which was lovely. Its in a quite area so no traffic noise which was great. A good base for exploring East Devon, Paignton is a quaint seaside town with a lovely seafront walk to Preston Sands. The Dart Steam Railway is to be recommended along with a river cruise. Sunday lunch at Ye Olde Smokey was superb. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

The house was the best rental cottage we’ve been to. The location was great. The house was perfect, immaculate with a very tasteful decor. Everything was of very high quality. We will definitely be back again and have already recommend it to friends. We had a wonderful week there and wish we’d booked it for longer.
