A stones throw from the beach

The Barbican is a comfortable B&B a stones throw away from the beach and the heart of Paignton. Run by two generations of the same family dedicated to bringing you the best experience.

Paignton is based in the heart of the beautiful English Riviera with 22 miles of coastline and beaches. The Barbican is in a wonderful position being only 250m from the sandy beach.

We are ideally positioned for public transport only a 5 minute walk from Paignton train station and bus station. Paignton Harbour, a 12 minute walk from The Barbican, offers a ferry service to Brixham and Torquay from April to October.
