Known as the "heart" of the English Riviera, where the climate is mild and palm trees thrive, Newton Abbot is a popular tourist destination. The historic marketplace has been replaced by a contemporary shopping district with a wide variety of stores, including six supermarkets carrying well-known brands. Additionally, there is a racetrack that hosts National Hunt races from spring through fall and winter craft fairs. The tap house and bottle shop in Newton Abbot is a one-of-a-kind pub housed in what was once a traditional working malthouse and serving some of the best bottled beers in Devon. Beachgoers can easily reach the wonderful family-friendly communities of Teignmouth, Shaldon, and Dawlish. Have fun at Teignmouth's beach all day long, where you can also explore the historic Victorian Pier. The stunning beaches around Torquay and the many hidden coves like Meadfoot, Oddicombe, and the further afield pretty Ness Cove are sure to be the highlight of your stay. A popular section of the South West Coast Path runs from Torquay Harbour to Daddyhole Plain, and it passes through Beacon Cove, where Agatha Christie used to swim when she was younger. You can't find a better place to start your English seaside holiday than in lovely Newton Abbot.

We didn't meet many of the staff but the ones we did meet were very friendly and helpful. This is probably the cleanest place we've ever stayed at. Everything was spotless and felt brand new. It looks exactly like the photos on the site. The double bed was a little uncomfortable though and also the pillows. WiFi was very good - no issues streaming. The showers were great. The kitchen was very well equipped. The cupcakes left for us were amazing! There were 4 of us in total (2 adults, 2 children) plus our dog. Unfortunately we decided to leave a couple of days early before the arrival of Storm Ciaran but we would definitely return to this site and would highly recommend it.

It was very clean and comfortable well thought out for a worry free stay. We found everything we needed in the kitchen.the only thing we missed was a pair of scissors and a teapot, We had a couple of days of very high winds which made the bathroom fan vents to vibrate very loudly this was more noticeable at the night.Keeping us awake. But in all we had a great stay highly recommend it.
