OWN YOUR OWN

If you’ve ever fancied the idea of owning your own apartment by the sea but the costs and the hassles of outright ownership have put you off, then we have the answer!

There has never been a better time to think about holiday ownership at this exclusive resort on Devon’s English Riviera. With more and more people choosing to ‘staycation’, it may not always be easy to find the UK holiday that you desire and deserve. However, by joining our holiday scheme you and your family will be guaranteed your stay at this exclusive resort, and at a muchreduced rate than a traditional self-catering rental.

The Osborne Apartments are located throughout Hesketh Crescent, an elegant Grade II listed Regency crescent built in 1846. Holiday Ownership can be yours from under £400 a week in low season (that’s just £57 per night for a stunning 1 bedroom sea-view apartment which sleeps up to 4 people)

Why not pop in and see us in our exclusive location in Meadfoot, Torquay. Or give us a call on 01803 209600

Our playroom, equipped with soft play and play tables, is suitable for children aged 3 months-6 years.

Our train playroom is designed for children 2+. We have dozens of trains to choose from and a large track for your little ones to play with. We do limit numbers so that our play is relaxed (except for the noise of the trains!).

We are also Paignton’s first bubble tea shop, offering hundreds of flavour combinations. We also offer shakes (inc. dairy-free), smoothies and the widest range of slushies you have ever seen.

The architecture here is outstanding, from creamy Regency hotels with their long verandas to Georgian cottages and thatched Swiss chalet-esque Beacon Cottage.

For a taste of the big smoke, make the trip west to Exeter, Devon’s capital. Take a wander around the quayside to visit antique shops and cosy pubs, meander the Georgian streets and then head to the honey-hued Norman cathedral. The ceiling is breathtaking, featuring a long stretch of Gothic vaulting, studded with bright bosses. The 15th-century Exeter clock in the north transept still chimes the hour, and the lively carvings of the 14th-century minstrels’ gallery shouldn’t be missed.

Also essential are the vaulted medieval underground passages which run for 425 metres across the city centre. Originally built to enclose pipes to provide the city with fresh water, they were later used as bomb shelters during World War II.

There’s much more to see in the city – including the grand neo-Gothic Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, which contains everything from artworks to taxidermy to Japanese samurai armour.

You could also go back to Tudor times at St Nicholas Priory, where as well as touring the sumptuous townhouse, you can try on costumes and play with Tudor games and toys. The best way of ticking off the sights in one day is to take a free ‘Red Coat’ guided walking tour taking, from the cathedral close to the quayside.

Totnes is a lovely place for a wander, with a relaxed eco-friendly vibe, fabled cheese shops and an enticing selection of tea rooms. You can also visit the castle ruins and walk the town ramparts. Look out for the Elizabethan Market (Tuesday mornings May-September), with traders wearing historic garb. Or you can don Elizabethan garb yourself at the Totnes Elizabethan House Museum.

Your first stop in Plymouth should be the Royal William Yard, which has been transformed into one of the coolest destinations in the UK. It’s got the requisite cutting-edge bars, shops and restaurants, as well as an art hub called Ocean Studios, set in a former victualling yard.

On Plymouth’s historic Barbican you’ll find the Mayflower Steps, where the Pilgrims finally left England on 16 September 1620, before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to settle in North America. A total of 16 million people can trace their roots back to the Mayflower’s famous voyage to the Americas.

South Devon is a heady combination of stunning landscapes, vibrant towns and stately homes and castles full of fascinating history. Get out there and discover the region’s beauty for yourself!
