There's something for the whole family at Beverley Park, with its excellent facilities that include two large swimming pools and several children's play areas. There are two distinctly different developments here - the lively Beverley Park and the more secluded Meadowside.

As well as the indoor and outdoor heated pools, Beverley Park also has a sauna, steam room, gym and therapy room. The Starlight Cabaret Bar provides great evening entertainment and there's a restaurant, café, takeaway, shop and off-licence. Crazy golf and tennis are also on offer.

There's a choice of lodges or caravans - we really like the magnificent Heron Lodge. Spacious enough for six, it has a Wii games console, iPod docking station and WiFi access, as well as a decking area with private hot tub and patio furniture.

Goodrington Sands at Paignton is less than a mile away; with ample parking, it's a lovely beach and excellent for swimming. Or you could head to Torquay for a visit to Bygones, where you can see more than 20 life-sized Victorian shops and a working model railway.
