About this property
Boasting a fantastic location in the heart of the iconic seaside town of Paignton in Devon is 27 Sands Road. This idyllic holiday home is set in a stunning, white-washed Victorian villa and benefits from a spectacular setting paces away from the glorious golden shores of Paignton beach and proximity to Dartmoor National Park as well as a front garden with barbecue and pizza oven and off-road parking which is rarity in this bustling town; a perfect dwelling for families or friends looking to explore the wonders of Devon. Cross the threshold and find the sitting room where you can snuggle up on the corner sofa with your loved ones and watch on as the kids make the most of the Xbox, movie and sports package on the Smart TV. Later, gather the family around the table in the fully-equipped kitchen/diner to sample the culinary creation whipped up by the designated chef of the group; if the sun is shining why not step out to the front garden to fire up the barbecue or pizza oven? When the sky darkens, climb the stairs to wash off the day’s adventure in the bathroom before sloping off to sleep in one of four bedrooms, choose from two king-sizes with en-suite shower rooms, a double or a bunk room. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic dwelling amble down to the beach where you can while away sunny days on the shores while the kids splash around in the sea before exploring the amusements including tenpin bowling, fairground rides and crazy golf that line the famous pier. The town also houses the fun-filled Paignton Zoo Environmental Park where you can admire exotic animals including lions, tigers, gorillas and crocodiles which are all on display. Venture further afield to Dartmoor National Park where outdoor activity opportunities are endless; try your hand at cycling, horse riding, climbing and even canoeing! Experience all this and more at 27 Sands Road.
One of South Devon's most popular tourist destinations, Paignton can be found in the middle of Torbay between Brixham and Torquay. This lively town is home to a fantastic variety of shops, taverns, clubs, and restaurants in addition to its vast stretches of sandy beach and scenic harbour. The town has a world-famous zoo and sea life centre and is a great home base for exploring the attractions of the English Riviera. Torquay, which is close by, is just as lively, with lots of great places to shop, interesting museums, and beautiful green spaces. Walking and cycling may be enjoyed along the neighbouring spectacular coastline, which features gorgeous stretches of beach and craggy cliff tops, while the rolling meadows of South Devon provide an excellent environment for afternoon strolls and a plethora of picturesque picnic places. The town of Paignton is a fantastic year-round holiday destination for families.

Usually one couple gets the tiny bedroom (sometimes without a wardrobe) but all the bedrooms here are large and have wardrobes, bedside cabinets and chest of drawers. Would be ideal for larger parties as there is also a bunk bedroom that we didn't use. The house is very well equipped, the owners seem to have thought of everything you would need. They were very helpful in providing directions and contact numbers to use if there was a problem (which there wasn't). Parking for 2 cars was a bonus as was the location of the house, walking distance to beach, town centre, railway & bus station.

The stairs we had to hover and skirting was dusty but the rest of the house was nice and clean we could only use the showers one at a time as the water would stop in the other shower's. No bin in upstairs toilet or main bathroom and no hangers in front bedroom and second ensuite shower blocked. Kitchen needs a few new utensils we bought a tin opener and tongs as they were broken and it would be great if you could have instructions on how to use the pizza oven or just some tips please as Jamie Oliver 30mins was totally wrong! The scones were lovely thank you so much and linen was lovely and clean double bedroom was cramped with cot in it could do with being in the large bedroom and a hand rail for some of the hight steps would save hanging onto the walls apart from that we had a lovely holiday and enjoyed the house thank you

We booked the property for 7 family members as a base to explore Devon. From here there are easy bus routes to Torquay, Dartmouth, Totnes and Brixham. There are also beautiful coastal walks to the same areas. The property was perfect and easily accommodated 7 of us. The kitchen and dining room were really well equipped, clean and spacious. The same can be said of the lounge and bedrooms. Decor was lovely. All beds were super comfy and towels provided. We were fortunate enough to have amazing weather, so used the garden furniture which was a lovely place to be in the sun. The only downside I can mention (looking for a balanced view) was the fluctuating water pressure which wasnât great for showers in the two brilliant en-suite bedrooms but that is possibly due to the number of people we had using water in the house and certainly didnât spoil the trip. Communication from Sykes and the property owners was exemplary. Iâm really happy with chose this property and will definitely book again when we return to the area. Definitely 5 stars from us.
