Leading holiday home and park company, Haulfryn has announced the launch of a new-look £3.4 million leisure facility centre at its Devon Hills Holiday Park in Paignton.

The Hive Leisure Club & Café opened on Saturday 13th April and features a fully equipped gym suite, a fully licensed café, convenience shop, 18-metre indoor swimming pool with a sauna and steam room. 
The site’s reception and sales office has been relocated to the same building, making The Hive Leisure Club & Café the focal point at Devon Hills Holiday Park.

Due to a serious fire, the popular site closed its former leisure complex in autumn 2022 and the park has temporarily been without those facilities since.

The new-look gym features a range of free weights, cardio, virtual PT classes, weight machines and yoga and Pilates kit.

Post workout, the fully licensed café will be serving up a range of food and beverage options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, such as pastries, fish and chips, rice boxes, salads, and pizza as well as a takeaway offering. It’s open from 8am through to late, with lunch and dinner served from 12pm.

Chief Executive Officer of Haulfryn Group Limited Bobby McGhee said, “At Haulfryn, we are all absolutely dedicated to ensuring that all facilities and grounds offer an exceptional experience for our much-valued guests, owners and local community. The Hive Leisure Club & Café will not only elevate the overall enjoyment on-site but will also foster a sense of wellbeing and community.”

“We are delighted to throw open our doors, and access to these facilities to the local community, and to restart our popular memberships within the new, modern spaces. Locals are also most welcome at The Hive Café which is fully licensed so perfect for catch-ups.”
