“Another great stay at No 18.”

A fantastic apartment with everything you need. Great communication from the property owners. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

“The apartment was well equipped and spotlessly clean.”

It had an allocated parking space and we were met at the property by Steve who showed us everything and had got the cot and highchair ready as requested. We had a welcome pack which we were very grateful for and there were plenty of shops nearby, with Aldi being a 5 minute walk past the train station. There was a park just across the road for the children with a small play area, and just along the road was a small convenience store and an abundance of takeaways. We used the Royal China Takeaway a few times and the portions were very generous. The apartment was a great base to set out from, and we visited Torquay, Paignton, Exeter and Plymouth. The only downside for us was the traffic noise from the road outside. We had read this on previous reviews, and we are just not used to the levels there were where we live, but everything else made up for this minor negative. We would certainly consider this property again if visiting the area again in future and there was very good communication prior to us arriving and prior to departure. Steve even messaged us on the afternoon of arrival to say the property was ready a little earlier which we appreciated having had the children in the car for most of the day. Thanks for a lovely family break.

“We had a wonderful stay in Apartment 18.”

It is modern, spotlessly clean, and extremely comfortable (especially the beds), and was very well equipped. We were on the road side of the property, so there was some traffic noise, especially when the windows are open, but this did not have an impact on us. Steve and Sally were helpful in every respect and they keep the apartment immaculate. I slept better than I had done in years! We would highly recommend this property.

Stephen June 2023

“We cant complain about the apartment, its location and general condition really was excellent.”

...However the big downside was the traffic noise. Such a shame!

- Stephen, June 2023
Bernard June 2023

“Modern well equipped holiday apartment, very comfortable.”

Slight problem with road noise at night but closed bedroom window and opened lounge windows, problem solved. Weather superb the whole week, an outside area to relax with a drink would have been nice however this would not stop us rebooking in the future. Apartment is a credit to owners.

“The Apartment was brilliant , everything we had hoped for and exactly as described.”

My wife and I had a lovely week visiting the surrounding areas and came back to a very comfortable apartment very everything with everything in the apartment we could have wished for. The owners met us on arrival which was excellent. We visited a number of the local restaurant s , all within walking distance which was wonderful. Overall highly recommended, we hope to visit again .

Gerry December 2022

“It's a fabulous apartment, well prepared with every comfort and facilities provided.”

We wanted for nothing. We have deducted one star from our overall stay since, unaccustomed as we are to any passing traffic and in spite of the double glazing, the relentless traffic noise during the night spoiled a peaceful and restful night. On this point alone we regret that a return visit would be impossible.

- Gerry, December 2022

Thank you for your comments following your recent stay at Apartment 18. We do aim to provide everything to make your stay comfortable and having many returning guests shows us we are providing an excellent service, of which we are very proud. We are sorry that you do not feel able to consider a return visit. The apartment is located in the town centre which enables visitors to easily walk to the train station or bus stop if they don't wish to travel by car and is a quick level walk into town for the evening. A town centre location may not be suitable for every guest's needs. However, previous reviews and guest comments do show that the apartment is in an excellent location to enjoy the many attractions of South Devon. Property Owner
Gordon September 2022

“The apartment was immaculate - Steven and Sally ensure all facilities are provided and up to date.”

The location of the apartment is perfect for exploring South Devon particularly using the train service literally across the road. A place to return too without a second thought.

- Gordon, September 2022

It was a pleasure to meet you and we appreciate your comments. We would love to greet you if ever you make the journey from Australia again. Property Owner
Lorna July 2022

“A beautiful tastefully decorated apartment & spotlessly clean.”

Great location for visiting all of the nearby holiday spots, whilst Newton Abbot itself is a charming town. A lovely apartment to come home to each day with every comfort catered for. The ensuite is a good size with a big shower unit. The bed was extremely comfortable. A lovely bountiful welcome pack had been left & the owners were very kind & helpful. Definitely a place to stay at again.

- Lorna, July 2022

It was our pleasure having you stay with us and look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

Elizabeth April 2022

“Apartment 18 is an ideal base to explore the Torbay area.”

Convenient for supermarkets and places to eat. Although we didnt use the train the station very close by,had we stayed longer we would have tried the train. The apartment is very well equipped and comfortable and had everything we needed. It was also very clean and well maintained. Sally and Steve were great hosts and communicated well with us prior to our stay. Thankfully we didn't have any issues during our stay but felt reassured that Sally and Steve were on hand if needed. The welcome pack of friut and biscuits was much appreciated. We would gladly return again if in the area.

- Elizabeth, April 2022
Patricia March 2022

“We were delighted with the apartment.”

The owners had furnished and equipped it perfectly and we were really pleased to be very near the station. We made very good use of this and only used our car once during our 7 day stay. I would also like to say that the owners made us feel very welcome when we arrived . We would certainly like to return again in the future.

- Patricia, March 2022

Steve and I thank you for the lovely feedback, making your holiday perfect makes the effort worthwhile. We look forward to welcoming you again to our piece of South Devon. Property Owner

Christopher September 2021

“We were a party of four, all of us in our seventies and three of us having mobility issues.”

We found the apartment very comfortable and extremely clean. It was very well equipped and there was just about everything you could possibly need. It was great having an allocated parking space considering we were so close to the centre of Newton Abbot. The location was excellent for the town and the railway station just across the road from the apartment. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming and the welcome pack was a nice touch. We were very unlucky in so much as the apartment was on the second floor and the lift had broken down the day before we arrived. With our mobility problems this was a bit of a pain. . . literally. However, we managed the stairs and it was clearly something our hosts had no control over. Sally met us at the check-in and helped with our luggage and Steve offered to help with the bags on our departure. They couldn't have done any more. The only other small issue was the traffic noise from the main road outside. Being on the main road we were unable to have any windows open as it was just too noisy. Having mentioned the two small issues we would quite happily return on a future break.

- Christopher, September 2021
Albert September 2021

“Very comfortable apartment ideally placed for visiting the area.”

We parked our car and used buses to Torquay , Teignmouth etc.. Met by owners who are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend (especially those with bus passes) . Hope to be back again soon.

- Albert, September 2021

It was a pleasure having you both stay, we look forward to seeing you again Property Owner
Scott August 2021

“Steve and Sally were great hosts with excellent communication leading up to our arrival then a lovely gesture of a welcome pack.”

The apartment is spotlessly clean, very modern and a great location for exploring The English Riviera. Newton Abbot itself has a lot to offer and with the train station being directly across the road offers great connectivity for days out without the car. Would highly recommend !!

- Scott, August 2021

Thank you for your comments, its our pleasure to know that all the hard work we do makes your holiday enjoyable. We look forward to hopefully seeing you again. Property Owner

“The property was very modern, clean and had all the amenities you could need.”

The owners spoke to us prior to arrival and gave us some suggestions of places to visit and restaurants to use. They also met us on arrival and had left us a lovely basket of fruit, biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar etc. Plus a card and Prosecco for our 25th wedding anniversary. This was extremely thoughtful of them. We all had a fantastic time in this property.

- Julie, June 2021
Andrea October 2020

“The apartment is beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and has everything you could possibly need.”

Steve and Sally were lovely and left us a welcome package of fresh fruit, biscuits and milk. The building has a lift which made light work of our luggage. The car park was an absolute bonus, as we parked the car and only used it twice during our 7 night stay. There is a bus stop and train station right on the doorstep which made travelling around really easy. We purchased a day rider ticket (for £5 each) which gives you an unlimited days travel on the buses within the Torbay area. There are several large supermarkets close by, lots of pubs, restaurants, takeaways. We highly recommend Jacksons fishmongers for fish & chips (just a couple of minutes walk from the property) and also The Coombe Cellars at Combeinteignhead (beautiful riverside location) for Sunday lunch. The apartment does have double glazing but we did find there was still a little noise from the road traffic, but not excessive enough to be an issue. All in all a perfect stay and we would highly recommend this property to anyone.

- Andrea, October 2020
Albert September 2020

“Ideally situated for rail and bus travel .”

Lovely welcome from Steve and Sally to their beautiful apartment. Lots of places nearby to visit and eat and drink. If you want to visit the English Riviera then there is no better place to be based.

Sarah August 2020

“The hosts met us at the property and we’re very welcoming.”

We were provided within some essential groceries (milk, tea, coffee, sugar and a fruit selection) and several eateries were recommended. The apartment was new, well furnished and very clean. I would definitely recommend this property for a stay in central Devon.

The property

Converted from the hotel formerly known as ‘The Queens Hotel’, this second-floor apartment can be found at the heart of the action of Newton Abbot in Devon.

Built in the 1850s, the hotel is thought to be one of the oldest in South Devon, adding additional charm to the now contemporary-styled dwelling.

Take the lift up onto the second floor and step inside the apartment to find a welcoming spot to spend your holiday; begin in the open-plan living space, where you will be greeted by all of the appliances and home comforts that you could need for a relaxing break.

The kitchen area oozes style in its seaside hues of blues and greens, encompassed by a range of useful appliances including a washer/dryer, a dishwasher and a large fridge/freezer, making your holiday a true breeze.

Sat within the kitchen is a extendable dining table, where you can spend your evenings together with a home-cooked treat, prepared with produce from the nearby local shops and markets on your doorstep.

Spend some time unwinding in the evening in the lounge area, where you can relax on two plush sofas settled around the 50" Smart television or sharing in family entertainment of board games or cards, perfect for a relaxing evening indoors when you’re not exploring the delights of the local area.

There are two charming bedrooms, each with a king-size bed and one with its own en-suite and the other having a shared bathroom adjacent to the room; each of these elegant rooms holds ample storage space and a soft spot to rest your head at the end of an action-packed day.

The location of the property is perfect for a wide range of attractions, positioned next to Courtenay Park, where you can enjoy a picnic with friends on a warm day, as well as making a great space for children to play.

The park also has a public bowling green, a bandstand hosting various concerts and a children's play area.

Close by is the Newton Abbot racecourse which holds frequent events for all of the family to enjoy at various times of the year, or if you would like something more relaxed then spend the day at Decoy Country Park where you can find lovely walks around the lake and watersports such as paddle boarding and canoeing.

Swimming and sports activities can be enjoyed at the local leisure centre.

Surrounded by beautiful countryside including Dartmoor National Park, Newton Abbot is a thriving historic market town, which offers cafés and restaurants, shops, supermarkets, the racecourse, post office, pubs and a cider bar.

The town centre is a three minute level walk from the property.

Venture further afield to the coastal towns of Teignmouth, Shaldon, Dawlish and Dawlish Warren for a day of sandcastle building, or head to the popular tourist hot-spot of Torquay to discover attractions such as the renowned Paignton Zoo and Living Coast Aquarium, the museum, Dinosaur World and much more. Offering links to various locations across Devon and beyond, Apartment 18 is perfect for your family getaway at any time of the year.

The property is conveniently close to the mainline Railway station offering connections to the local towns as well as the Penzance to Paddington Railway Line.

NEWTON ABBOT

Teignmouth 5 miles; Shaldon 5 miles; Torquay 10 miles; Exeter 18 miles; Plymouth 31 miles

Newton Abbot is situated in the heart of The English Riviera, with its mild climate and thriving palm trees. The ancient market town now offers plenty of modern shops, both local and well-known high street chains and six leading brand supermarkets. There's also a racecourse where National Hunt racing takes place from spring until autumn, with craft fayres during the winter. Newton Abbot has a unique pub, the tap house and bottle shop, located in the building of what was a traditional working malthouse offering arguably the finest bottled beers in Devon. The seaside towns of Teignmouth, Shaldon and Dawlish are nearby and are fantastic destinations for families. Spend a day on the beach building sand castles and walk the impressive Victorian Pier at Teignmouth. The National Trust houses of Bradley Manor, Coleton Fishacre and Compton Castle and many others are well worth a visit, whilst the highlight of your stay will undoubtedly be the stunning beaches around Torquay and the many hidden coves such as Meadfoot, Oddicombe and further afield the pretty Ness Cove. And of course, the South West Coast Path provides stunning seascapes across the bay, with a popular stretch from Torquay Harbour to Daddyhole Plain, passing through Beacon Cove where Agatha Christie used to swim as a girl. Newton Abbot provides a fabulous base for an English seaside holiday all year round.
