What a great holiday!! The host was really helpful and quick to reply to any questions. The check in and check out was easy. The apartment was very clean and had everything you need to have a comfortable, enjoyable stay. It was great being so close to the beach, pubs, restaurants and train station and harbour for lovely day trips. What was the most unique and pleasurable feature, was to have an outside pool to come back to every day after being out in the heat. We will definitely be returning to this hidden gem!

We had a lovely week, accommodation was as described & very well equipped. Our only problem was with the sofa bed which has collapsed in several places & was extremely uncomfortable to sleep on. Overall a great place to stay

Property is in an excellent position it really is 2 mins to seaside and parking was handy, the pub in front of the building is in the process of being demolished so bit of an eyesore but that can't be helped.The apartment although small is well stocked and comfortable. The apartments themselves are noisy the smallest noise can he heard and on our last few days there were some very noisy guests up til all hours playing music.We enjoyed our week and the apartment is in an ideal place for exploring other areas, we used the train and the service was quick and reliable and our host Dee was brilliant at keeping us informed of everything.

Excellent place

Near the beach, near pubs, near the trainstation, near the shops etcetera. Near Everything! There is also a lot to See and do in the environment. The appartment is clean and there is a Nice pool. There are seagulls on the roof at night. They make a lot of noise. We had a great week in this appartment!

So glad you enjoyed your stay in our apartment and hope the children made good use of the pool. Sorry about the seagulls. You know you're at the seaside when there are seagulls.....we have had words before, but they just don't listen! 😂

Fantastic for kids

Located as close to the beach as you can get! Fantastic pool that we struggled to get the kids out of with a funfair and a park over the road its in an ideal location. It was a little cramped at times with 5 of us but the apartment had everything you’d need, including armbands for the little one (which we forgot)

Paignton New Esplanade Court

The apartment itself was very well appointed and considerably more modernised than the previous apartment we stayed in on the complex. The only negative was that the walls are very thin and we had noisy neighbours who woke my wife and childrem up several times. There was also an individual in the apartment below who could snore for England. That said it was jusr our bad luck this week and would recommend the apartment due to its location to the beach and town and facilities, great value for money.

Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. We love the location of the apartment. I'm sorry about the noise from neighbours. This has been brought to our attention once before. Residents are asked to keep noise levels to a mimimum and usually do. As you say, you must have been unlucky. You are welcome to stay again any time.

As stated online

The property was everything anyone could expect. Clean and very welcoming. The rooms were comfortable, and everything that you could use was there. The pool needed a bit more TLC as the colours were fading at the bottom. Paignton needs a lot morwe investment as it is looking rather tired.

Thank you Clive for your positive feedback. I will check with the management company whether any further work is to be carried out on the pool. Essential maintenance works were done during the pandemic lockdown. Regarding Paignton itself, check out the redevelopment plans online. Millions have now been secured from the government and private investors for town centre and seafront improvements. Exciting times ahead, already beginning with the building of 2 smart hotels next to New Esplanade Court, a brand new beachfront café overlooking Broadsands beach (now open) and work starting on the historic Paignton Picture House. Lots more plans to look forward to also. Hopefully the terrible impact of Covid-19 on the local community and economy was the last straw and we are now heading towards a brighter, modern town.
