Free parking for one car. The apartments, pool and gardens are located behind security gates. There is a secure entry phone system at the security gates. The car park also requires a keyfob (provided) to open the security barrier. Apartment 35 has one designated parking space. Additional parking is available in a local car park. Sorry, no pets. Non-smokers only please. New Esplanade Court is a two storey block of privately owned apartments built in a U shape around a landscaped garden and swimming pool. It is set on a private road just behind the main Esplanade, so although incredibly central to all the facilities and activities Paignton has to offer, it remains a quiet, hidden away location. It is only a couple of minutes walk from the beach and pier and also the Geopark and Paignton Green. The harbour, High street shops, gift shops, amusement arcades, a cinema complex, a theatre, crazy golf and lots more are also only a few minutes walk away. Victoria Park is ideally located only 4 minutes walk from the apartment and there is a lovely playground and duckpond here. We have put together in the apartment a guide book of information and suggestions of places to visit and things to do during your stay. The attractions of Torquay, Babbacombe, Brixham, Totnes, Dartmouth and Dartmoor are all within a short drive. Alternatively, just sit back with a drink and relax in your comfy surroundings if you're in need of unwinding for a while! There's a pub on your doorstep and lots of eating establishments. Be naughty......treat yourselves to a cream tea on the lawn at the Palace Hotel next door, but go there hungry.....the scones are big!

Fantastic property with beautiful pool, perfect.
The property boasts a brilliant position a stone's throw away from the beach and pier. The property offer everything and more for us to enjoy our break in Paignton including a great heated pool. The owners are very welcoming, sending a wealth of information and answering any questions immediately. We will definitely stay again.

Thank you Helen. So glad you enjoyed staying at our place. Always a bonus in England when you get great weather . You are very welcome to come back any time. Dee
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

Thanks for your positive comments. We bought the property years ago because of it's fabulous location near the beach and local amenities. You are welcome to come back again any time.
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! 😂
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)
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.
This is a small apartment but clean, comfortable and a great location. The pool was fantastic for my teens and the location is great for exploring further afield, whilst having everything we needed within walking distance. I would like to come back with a friend next time!

Thank you Sam. You are welcome to return any time.
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.
Thanks Karen. You didn't have the best of weather for your stay. You are very welcome to stay again and hopefully enjoy more of the Torbay sunshine.

Beautiful in a great location
The apartment was lovely and clean, the pool on site was fantastic and overall in a great location to the Beach, Geo-park and the shops. Fantastic for the kids and lots of places to eat close to the site. There was also lots to do in sun or rain and even on a budget. Couldn't fault the apartment at all well maintained and beautiful presentation although for the 5 of us a little small but nothing to drastic when we didn't spend too long in there as the weather was brilliant. We would recommend to anyone.

About the host
Hosted by Mrs Dee Mather
My husband and I have been fortunate enough to be able to take early retirement from our jobs as an electronics engineer and occupational therapist respectively. We have 2 daughters aged 31 and 32 and our adorable 16 year old granddaughter. We also have 4 cats and a golden retriever. We enjoy classic car shows, amateur dramatics and theatre, singing, walking, holidays and good food.
Why they chose this property
We bought this apartment having had a fantastic family holiday in one of the other apartments years ago when the girls were much younger! We decided to decorate and furnish it to a much higher standard than the one we stayed in to get the most from the property and to enjoy long weekends there ourselves. There is so much to do locally or you can laze by the pool in the sun, which seems to appear more in Paignton than where we live in Bristol. The location of the apartment can't be beaten as it's only a 2 minute walk from the sandy beach, the pier, Paignton Green, shops and restaurants. The harbour is only a leisurely 10 minute stroll away and Torquay and other sandy beaches are only a 10 minute drive away. We love a day out in Brixham and we've enjoyed the steam train to Dartmouth on numerous occasions. Paignton zoo is one of the best and always popular with families. If we fancy something a bit more energetic, we have the beauty of Dartmoor very nearby.
What makes this property unique
Both the lounge and the bedroom are sunny and overlook the pool. This is good if you want to watch people having fun or even to see when the pool is empty so you can dash down and have the pool to yourselves. The location with pool, beach, pier, harbour, shops, entertainment, restaurants and pubs all on the doorstep. Some of our previous guests have left the car in the car park all week.
