About this property
Resting on the outskirts of the popular coastal town of Paignton, Devon is 2 White Rock Court. This fabulous holiday home benefits from a stylish interior adorned with contemporary appliances and decor, ample off-road parking, three beautifully-appointed bedrooms and a fantastic location with access to the coast and Dartmoor National Park; the perfect setting for families or friends looking to explore the wonders of Devon. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home stepping straight into an open-plan living space which houses a snug with plush bean bag chairs, and a large sitting room with gas fire and huge Smart TV, the perfect place to unwind after a day full of exploration. Later, head into the fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up delicious meals that the whole family can enjoy around the dining table; on a sunny evening, why not head outside to fire up the barbecue? Spend the last of the evening enjoying drinks in the private patio while the children take advantage of the games room with a PlayStation 5. When the evening draws to a close, travel to the first floor where you can wash off the days’ adventures in the bathroom before choosing between three well-appointed bedrooms; there is a king-size with Smart TV and handy en-suite, a further king-size with en-suite and a double with Smart TV. If you can tear yourself away from this delightful setting, follow one of the public footpaths into the heart of Paignton where you can stock up on all your self-catering essentials at local stores or treat your loved ones to a meal out at The Harbour Inn or The Local Gastro Bar and Grill. Be sure to spend some time on the glorious shores of Paignton Beach; admire the views across the azure, amble along the pier bursting with seaside amusements or take to the open water on a boat trip or paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes, and there is also the option of go karting. The town also boasts its own zoo, perfect for a day out or head inland to tour Dartmoor Zoo before exploring all Dartmoor National Park has to offer. History lovers will enjoy a trip to the fascinating Dartmouth Castle, whilst the close by fishing town of Brixham offers a fresh fish market. Make memories at 2 White Rock Court.
Paignton, one of South Devon's most popular coastal destinations, is located in the middle of Torbay, between Brixham and Torquay. Long sandy beaches and a scenic harbour are only two of the attractions in this lively town, which also features a great variety of shops, taverns, clubs, and restaurants. The town has a world-famous zoo and marine life centre and is a great starting point for excursions to the rest of the English Riviera. Torquay, located nearby, is just as exciting, with plenty of great stores, fascinating attractions, and beautiful green spaces. South Devon's rolling meadows provide a wonderful environment for afternoon strolls and a plethora of scenic picnic places, while the area's spectacular coastline is perfect for walking and cycling along beautiful stretches of beach and craggy cliff tops. If you're looking for a great holiday spot, Paignton is a great choice any time of the year.

Everything provided and beautifully presented.Only 2 little points could not use bedroom with tv in bed as there is a constant buzzing sound seems to come from the bathroom and the cistern constantly running.Also stair gate at the top of the stairs is a trip hazard if you forget about it.Other than that would highly recommend if you like a bit of luxury

The property was very modern, comfortable and spacious. A great base from which to explore the area. Lovely and quiet location being in a cul-de-sac. The childrenâs playground noise did not bother us at all as it is located to the front of the property, over a hedge and the living area is to the rear of the property. We loved the games room, especially the pool and table tennis. The beach at Goodrington is fabulous and only a five minute car journey away. Very convenient for shops, if you self cater like us. There is a Lidl, Aldi, Asda and Sainsburyâs all located along the main road in. Found lots of places we had not been to before, plenty to do. If I am being super critical there could have been more oven/microwave containers in the kitchen. For the amount of wardrobe space we could have done with more coat hangers. As a couple in our late sixties and early seventies the furniture in the main living area was very low. We got around this by using the two leather armchairs from the bar area. None of these things spoiled our enjoyment though. We had an absolutely fantastic holiday here and looked forward to returning to White Rock Court each day after our adventures. If we return to Devon for future holidays we would have no hesitation in staying here again or recommending it to family and friends.
