About Us

Bay Cottage is an Adult only premises where we simply provide Bed & Breakfast for our guests. Our breakfasts are cooked traditionally; we don’t use microwaves or deep fat fryers. Our rooms are ideal for those who wish to spend the day exploring Torbay and eating out in the evening. Paignton seafront is just 5 minutes walk away from our front door!

If you’re looking for a cosy, en suite room with a freshly cooked breakfast served in our dining room, then you’ve come to the right place! Whether you just need some time away from the children or grandchildren, or you want to walk the South West Coast Path or explore Torbay, Bay Cottage will provide you with a place to sleep and eat breakfast.

All our rooms at Bay Cottage are en suite with complimentary toiletries and beverage tray as well as a flat screen TV. All rooms, except the single room, twin room and room three, contain an ordinary sized double bed in a cosy room. Free Wifi is available in all rooms. To view current prices, please click on the Book Now button. Breakfast and the use of our linen and towels are all included in the price of the room.

All our rooms are accessed via staircases and located on the First and Second Floors of the premises.

Breakfast is served daily between 0830 and 0900 in our light and airy Dining Room. Our speciality is the traditionally cooked, traditional English Breakfast. (Sorry, no hash browns or tinned tomatoes!) This plate consists of Sausage, Black Pudding, Egg (fried, poached or scrambled), Bacon, Baked Beans, Fried Tomato, Fried Mushrooms & Fried Bread.  We can leave out anything you don't want, but cannot substitute anything else in its place.

If a full, cooked breakfast is too much for you, please ask for the Mini Menu at check-in. This menu provides you with up to 3 items from the full English menu on either toast or fried bread. This allows you to eat a cooked breakfast without overdoing the calories or cholesterol! Check out the breakfast pictures on our blog!

We can cater for some special diets such as vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free if you let us know at least 7 days before your arrival date. The menus for these diets are limited but we will do our best to provide you with a delicious breakfast.

We also provide a cereal bar and toaster to which you help yourself whilst your breakfast finishes cooking. You can choose between tea or coffee to drink as well as apple or orange juice.

While we can’t be accused of being a luxury hotel or a boutique B&B, we pride ourselves in providing clean, cosy rooms and delicious, freshly cooked breakfasts for our guests.

Check-in is between 1400 and 2100 each day. Check-out is between 0930 and 1000 on your day of depature.

We are a child-free and pet-free haven for couples looking for a relaxing and refreshing break. We welcome non-smokers.
