Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"My mum and I stayed here for a week in September 24."
It is a lovely cosy house, the perfect location! Especially if you don't drive like we don't. Very near the beach/pier. About a 10 minute walk to the main street where the majority of the shops are, and just a little bit further is the train station. I couldn't recommend this property highly enough!

"Thank you for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay."
The cottage is equipped with everything we needed. The location is great being close to the seafront and shops/restaurants. Parking space(s) at the front of the property are a real bonus. We will definitely recommend the cottage.

"Came back on Saturday after a lovely week spent at this cottage."
Lovely and clean inside,sofa's so comfy I fell asleep on them most nights. WiFi provided and was extremely quick. The TV had Netflix on if you have your own account, we used this on a rainy day. There are 2 parking spaces out the front which is rare these days. Road is very quiet. There is a yard out the back which is ideal for dogs. Park nearby for exercise and the beach is literally round the corner. It is not dog friendly though from 1st May onwards. We did find other dog friendly beaches which they both enjoyed. The town centre is a few minutes walk away and there are plenty of eating establishments also. Pub in harbour is very dog friendly, can also recommend Rickshaw Chinese takeaway. Would definitely recommend this cottage to friends and family. The owner Nicola text us to tell us cottage was ready and checked in on us to make sure there were no problems.
Hi Amanda, Thank you for the fantastic review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Fairy Cove is a short walk from us and that is dog friendly all year round if your dog loves the beach. Goodrington (a little further to walk) also has a year round dog friendly beach. Hope to see you again soon. Best regards Nicola & Phil

Parking off road is good. It has no view, but as we were out each day this didn't matter. There was a mix up of keys but the owners sorted this out immediately and were at the end of the phone if any help was needed

The cottage was very clean & had everything you need. Its position down a quiet lane but only a few minutes walk from the town, beach, harbour & railway is ideal .The owners are really nice & very helpful.
Would certainly recommend this property .

"We had a lovely time staying at Broadsands, the cottage is very spacious and clean."
It’s very close to all amenities, shops, pubs and restaurants.
The Harbour area is lovely, we had a few meals at Harbour Lights which we strongly recommend and the Harbour Inn.
We went on a boat over to Torquay and caught a bus to Brixham so there’s no need for driving around from this cottage also we went on a lovely walk to Goodrington which is close by.
We have a little dog and although you cannot go on the main beach at Paignton from the end of April you can go to Fairy Cove all year round and at Goodrington.
The owners of the cottage Nicola & Phil are great and a phone call away if you have any questions.
Hi Sylvia, Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Broadsands Cottage. It is in a great location as you say.

"We stayed in Broadsands for a week in April as returning guests."
We’ve stayed in multiple dog-friendly cottages in Torbay, but this is the one we like to keep coming back to.
It’s always clean, comfortable and beautifully situated just off the seafront. Morning walks on the beach, evening strolls on the pier, hearing the steam train getting ready to leave (and go there) or just going into the town centre. Everything right on your doorstep.
The private parking is ideal and essential. The cottage is in perfect shape. The drive has been resurfaced, a new central heating control system has been installed since our last stay.
Nicola and Phil are very easy to get in touch with and very friendly and helpful.
We definitely will return to Broadsands soon.
Hi Jochem, Thank you for your fantastic review and for staying with us again. We are so pleased you love our cottage.

The furnishings are quite basic but it was clean, quiet and the location is excellent. The only thing that I would suggest is some pint glasses as drinking beer out of a wine glass didn’t white work!

"We loved staying in Broadsands."
The cottage is spacious and clean and met all our expectations. The on site parking space is a bonus. Location is perfect. A short walk from everything Paignton has to offer, or a short drive to anywhere else in Torbay.
Because there’s plenty to do in the area (even in October) during the day, we were not too bothered by the renovation works in the attached cottage next door. They did wake us up early a couple of days though, drilling.
However; we would recommend Broadsands to anyone looking for a comfortable home in a perfect location. We will be back!

"Generally the interior of the property is very well planned and comfortable."
The only criticism of the interior is the seal along the edge of the shower door, it’s filthy and needs replacing, and also the skirting boards were also covered in dust and hair. On arrival at the property we did wonder where we had come to as the drive is filthy and needs weeding , some sort of planting would be good and the large bins look awful at the front of a property. The front door needs revarnishing and the door knob needs replacing as it does not reflect how lovely the cottage is inside. The location of the property is perfect for the beach etc however the surrounding area is shabby and neglected. If the property exterior was improved this would detract a little from this .

"Lovely clean cottage in a great location."
Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Had a great, comfortable weeks stay. My only two slight negatives are that the oven seemed to take an exceptionally long time to cook anything, not sure if that made need looking at. And also the courtyard listed as private didn't provide much privacy as it is very overlooked from the properties behind with only a short fence and a gate joining us, so if we were out at the same time it seemed a very much shared space. That said, it would not stop me from visiting again, I was just expecting a more private yard.
Beds were all very comfortable, slept great and nice touch from the hosts with the welcome basket with cream tea.
