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 had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday staying at Leighwood Cottage. We found it extremely comfortable particularly as we were there during the most recent heatwave. We thought it was very well equipped and could think of nothing that would improve it. We spoke to the owner, Mike, on several occasions and he was extremely helpful and friendly.

Leighwood Cottage is very comfortable, light, well equipped and clean. In a nice location on the edge of Paignton.. Lots of supermarkets within a short drive.

A very clean and comfortable property, handily placed for the many attractions that Torbay has to offer. It has everything that you need for a home from home stay.
