About

Bucket and spade or suit and tie?

The Premier Inn Hotel Paignton South (Brixham Road) is a great base whether you're seeing the sights, meeting clients in Paignton, Exeter or Plymouth, going fishing in Brixham (it's only a five-minute drive away) or stopping off on your journey to Cornwall. From our base in the White Rock Business Park, you could pop over to Paignton Zoo, take to the waves at Goodrington Sands, there is also the water park, Splashdown, where you can choose which slides you would like to slide down on, the boating lake, crazy golf and the arcades at Goodrington. Plenty to do for all ages.

Car parking is free at this hotel.

In the town of Paignton, a part of the English Riviera there is the Dartmouth Steam Railway, which will take you on a nine mile very scenic coastal ride to Kingswear, ( takes about 45 minutes ) where you can then take a ferry across to Dartmouth. 

Another must to see is National Trust property Greenway House in Galmpton, Brixham 

Greenway offers visitors an extraordinary glimpse into the private life of the Queen of Crime and her family. Agatha Christie set three of her novels here, all of which feature on the Agatha Christie Literary Trail: Five Little Pigs, Dead Man’s Folly and Ordeal by Innocence. In Dead Man's Folly it appears as Nasse House, and the boat house was the scene of the crime in Dead Man’s Folly. However, Christie did not write at Greenway: she would visit with friends and family once her latest novel was complete to relax, play games and spend quality time together in a beautiful setting.

Greenway is a magical place to explore, with its rich historical interior and the wildness and mystery of its garden. The informal woodland garden drifts down the hillside towards the river, and is renowned particularly for its spring flowers. In spring and summer, a member of the garden team lead a daily garden walk at 2pm, which is a great way to find out about the history of the garden and see the seasonal highlights.
