Family-run guest house with dog-friendly policy and private hot tub in Paignton
Location & Atmosphere
Earlston House sits a 6-minute walk from Goodrington Sands Beach and a 10-minute walk from Paignton town centre. The hotel is close to Paignton Zoo and Pirate Bay Adventure Golf, and guests can walk to the dog-friendly beach in about 5 minutes. A perfect location score of 9.2 reflects the convenience of being between Paignton and Goodrington beaches.
Rooms & Amenities
Each of the 8 en-suite bedrooms is individually themed with unique decor, such as the Moroccan room and the Agatha Christie Greenway room.

Guests find robes and slippers in the room for use during their stay.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast is cooked to order using locally sourced ingredients: the sausages and bacon come from a named butcher, and guests can choose from small, medium, or large cooked options. Alternatives include pancakes with berries and maple syrup, French toast, and a full English with black pudding. The hotel also provides complimentary homemade snacks and treats for guests throughout the day.
