Sean & Michelle – Big Tree Holiday Flats, Paignton

Holiday Flats located in sunny Paignton, Devon

Paignton is in an area called Torbay, which is delightfully situated on the South coast, but faces East, thus it is protected from the prevailing South West air stream and yet warmed by the Gulf Stream. Not without reason is it known as the English Riviera!

 

The climate in South Devon is mild, even out of season, so Paignton is an ideal destination to enjoy a break all year round.

Our Ideal Location

Own Car Not Required!

We are in a central, convenient location in Paignton, less than 10 minutes walk from either Paignton or Goodrington train stations.

 

At the end of the driveway on either side of the road are bus stops offering services to Torquay (North) or Brixham (South). The north-bound bus stop is called “The Big Tree (N-Bound)” and the south-bound bus stop is called “Opposite Big Tree”.

 

Bus Services are provided by StageCoach Bus. Full timetables and tickets are available at https://www.stagecoachbus.com

 

If you do wish to bring your car, free parking (1 vehicle per flat) is available at Big Tree.

 

Leisure Centre

We are also just a very short (five minute) level walk from Torbay leisure centre.

 

The centre hosts many big events throughout the year and Big Tree is ideally located. We are the closest self-catering accommodation to the centre

We can't wait to go back in the summer! The welcome we received was warm and friendly from Michelle and Sean, it made us feel at home on holiday!Paignton is a lovely place to visit with plenty going on made better by staying in the Big Tree!

Great hosts and clean, well equipped apartment. Dave and Jan are brilliant hosts, very friendly and helpful. The flat has everything you need for a self catering holiday and the beds are comfy. The flat was lovely and clean when we arrived and well aired.We would recommend staying here, and we hope to return.It's the perfect base to visit South Devon, with so much to see and do, we ran out of days.

Brilliant We stayed at Big Tree for a week and were really pleased. The flat was very clean well appointed and comfortable ample car parking . The hosts Dave & Jan were very friendly and helpful always had time for a chat. Big tree could not be better placed in Paignton for convenience 10 minute walk to town centre and 10 minute walk to Goodrington plus a regular bus service. Should we return to Paignton we will definitely stay at Big Tree

Perfect location, friendly hosts and great value. We received a warm welcome from Dave and Jan upon arrival. The presentation and cleanliness of the flat was excellent - especially with current COVID extra cleaning. The location is just outside Paignton town centre - 10 min walk, and similar to the gorgeous Goodrington Sands. Have been for many years now and am certain to return!

Outstanding Upon arrival, the hosts were amazing, nothing was to much trouble made me feel very welcome. My accommodation in flat 1 was so clean and very well presented, all facilities were modern and well appointed. Crisp clean sheets and overall cleanliness exceeded expectations. Location perfect quite and in close proximity to local amenities and beaches. Ample parking and prices excellent for the area, recommend this place to everyone visiting the area book early as they are very popular with repeat guests.

Simply the best Beautiful little flats. Everything you need for a home from home holiday is here. The flats are really clean and lovely and warm (our stay was end of September) .The flats have off street parking which is a massive positive. You have your own front door which again is a massive plusDave and Jan are the perfect hosts.The flats themselves are only a 10 minute walk to the sea front or town, near enough but far enough away from the centre as you are not bothered with the hustle and bustleIf we come to Paignton again then i will definetly book again and am recommending them to everyone
