In recent years part of it has been converted into holiday apartments to a very high standard with owner's accomodation. Two non-smoking holiday apartments are available on the lower ground floor, which are separate from the main residence. These apartments each have their own private entrance and overlook the swimming pool and the secluded gardens. The apartments are of a high specification with all modern amenities. An annexe bedroom attaching to either apartment with a bunk bed (suitable for 2 children) can also be booked to extend sleeping arrangements.

Location
Evergreen Lodge is situated in the heart of Chelston village, Torquay. It is an ideal base to explore Devon whatever your interests or inclinations with good local amenities.
Tucked away on the west side of Torbay, adjacent to the delightful village of Cockington, Chelston affords the discerning visitor a relaxing and peaceful retreat. The location is within easy reach of Torquay seafront (15 minutes walk), railway station (10 minutes walk), harbour and town centre (20 minutes walk), should you crave civilisation. For those less energetic, there is a regular bus service, connecting Chelston with the Torbay district (the bus stop is a minutes walk from Evergreen Lodge).
In addition to Cockington there are many historic places of interest nearby (see National Trust website)
The walks of South Devon from Dartmoor down to the spectacular coastline affords one of the most abrupt changes of scenery likely to be encountered anywhere in this country. The walks range from the flat and serene of Cockington Valley to the undulating and demanding wilderness of Dartmoor – the highest land in England south of the Pennines. There are at least 20 excellent walks, enough even for the most avid enthusiast. The owners have produced their own map of a local walk, taking in the best of Chelston and Cockington with plenty of opportunities for refreshment and cream teas along the way.
For families and children whatever the weather, there is always a wide and plentiful choice of activities in and around Torbay! From the wonderful beaches with safe surf and swimming to Kent's Cavern, Babbacombe Model Village, South Devon Steam Railway, Castle Drogo, Paignton Zoo, Woodlands Leisure Park, Pennywell Farm and Wildlife Centre, The River Dart Country Park, Buckland Abbey, Plymouth Dome, The Hedgehog Hospital, River and Bay Cruises, Ghostly Tales, Butterflies and Otters at Buckfastleigh and of couse Eden Project.....to name just a few!
