Owner Insight

"It has been a very happy home for mum for twenty seven years, and as a keen bowler and member of Babbacombe she could walk to the club quickly. More recently when health prevented her from playing bowls, she could still see the club and loved watching activity in the park from the balcony. Everything mum could need was close at hand, and the allocated parking means you never have to worry about trying to find a space, although the road is generally quiet unless Torquay United are playing at home."
