We regularly travel to Devon to visit family and have stayed in many hotels and guest houses over the years — but Blue Waters Lodge has truly been the best experience we’ve had. From the moment we arrived, we received such a warm and genuine welcome. The hospitality here is second to none — nothing was too much trouble, and the hosts made us feel completely at home. It’s clear they genuinely care about their guests. The room was immaculate and beautifully presented, with thoughtful little touches that made such a difference — from the cozy decor to the attention to detail that you just don’t find everywhere. Everything felt calm, comfortable, and just right. Breakfast was a real highlight — freshly cooked, delicious, and served with a smile. It set us up perfectly each day. If you’re looking for a peaceful, welcoming place to stay in Devon, I honestly couldn’t recommend Blue Waters Lodge more highly. We’ll definitely be back for our next visit — it’s now our go-to place when staying in the area.

What to say really, nice and welcoming, rooms are nice and presentable, good to have thing planned as they do go into the rooms to clean and so on, little mini fridges in rooms with chilled water and a small milk, kettle with tea and coffee and so on. Nice throwback to the days of B&B, Breakfast is more filling than you think, dining room is also the bar, not that we used it but looked quaint enough. Food is cooked fresh that morning and do try to accomodate most requests. The biggest issue, especially when travelling is parking, as there's no parking. Its located on possibly the last free to park area in Paignton so fills up quickly, paid spaces down the road however and isnt overly expensive to park for the day if you can get a space. If you can plan activities over not using a vehicle and can leave it parked then ideal!

The Blue Waters Lodge

Lovely b&b. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The room was spotless with a very comfy bed and pristine linen. Fresh milk and cold water in a fridge in the bedroom with a well stocked drinks tray refreshed daily. Breakfast was fresh and beautifully cooked with a good choice of cereal and fruit on offer, great coffee. Both Julia and Iain were knowledgeable about the area and happy to recommend activities places of interest and best places to eat. We would happily recommend a visit.

Best B&B!

Highly recommend booking this place. Stayed as a family of 4 and Julia and Iain really had thought of everything. We arrived via train and so didn’t pack a lot. They had beach mats, wind breakers etc Also had a bed guard for our little one so she didn’t roll out of bed. Even the bathroom had a hair towel! Breakfast was amazing, fresh fruit and juices along with delicious porridge, cereals and cooked breakfast. All freshly cooked and great. Beds were always made ready for when we got back and they know how to treat the little ones. A service you just don’t get in hotels. The location is perfect, short walk to sea front, town center and station. If you book a stay here you will not regret it!

We had a lovely stay at Bluewaters Lodge, beautifully clean accommodation central to everything, breakfast was delicious, Iain and Julia went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They gave us great recommendations on things to do - the round robin trip which was fantastic and we eat at the harbour lights restaurant which we enjoyed. We were sad to leave!

Excellent stay at Blue Waters Lodge with Colin and Jackie inimitable style and hospitality. The two room suite was adequate for us as a party of 3 but these rooms were very small and on the top floor so did tend to run warmer. The bathroom didn't have a window and was very compact but we managed for the 4 days that we were there. The breakfast was fantastic and cooked to order with plenty of selection of cereals, fruit, hot items and teas, coffees, juices etc. Colin was particularly helpful in assisting with our itinerary and gave as excellent sightseeing suggestions. There is not a car park on site but this was never a problem as Colin ensured we could park at the front by moving his own vehicles to "reserve" our space. The lodge itself has an excellent location a 2 min walk to the seafront and pier. The train station is 10 mins away where the steam train to Dartmouth goes from and I'd highly recommend this. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance (5-10mins walk) and I would name Harbour Lights and La Scala as our favourites. On leaving I had a quick look at the other rooms and would not hesitate to book one of these over the 2 room suite we had purely to have the extra space and larger bathroom. All in all excellent stay and Happy Days!! :)

We stopped here for seven wonderful nights, I have never stopped in a more welcoming place. This guest house is beautifully laid out and spotlessly clean. Colin & Jackie made us feel like we had been friends for years, and played a big part in making this holiday one of the best we have ever had. Paignton is an ideal place to stay, with easy access to all the surrounding tourist attractions. We are booking up again for next year. Loved it.
