This was our second stay at the Ratcliffe Guest House and made for a thoroughly relaxing break. The room was light and airy, clean and comfortable. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful, just right before a day exploring Paignton and the surrounding coastline. Kevin and Anna are extremely welcoming and made up for one night disturbed by noisy guests in the... More

This is our second visit to the Ratcliffe Guest House in Paignton. The rooms are very clean, freshly decorated and well equipped. The breakfast choices are wide ranging and everything that comes out of the kitchen is tasty and of a very high quality. Kev and Anna made us feel very welcome and we were sad to have to leave...

Very nice family run hotel. Lovely and clean, excellent breakfast. Conveniently located in the centre of the town. Parking in multistorey carpark opposite hotel, although there is a loading/unloading bay outside the hotel. There is a stairlift to the first floor which was an added bonus for my elderly father. Would certainly stay again if in the area.

Although there is no immediate parking outside, except for unloading, a free space was provided for us in the multi-storey car park opposite. We had the front double and it was... More

I've stayed at The Ratcliffe twice now and it's the only place to stay at in S. Devon. Clean, friendly, comfortable, central and Anna & Steve are so genuine and helpful. Oh yes: the breakfasts ain't bad either. Michael from Switzerland.

Lovely B&B, Warm, welcoming, comfortable, and probably the best breakfast in the world! In a fab location - tucked away but close enough to walk to the beach, cinema, shops, pubs, train station etc. Highly recommend it.
