Leaving their family home in Coventry for a brand new apartment at Churchill’s Perran Lodge in Newquay was a big move for Michael and Barbara Sammons, but having made the move they’re now thoroughly enjoying the seaside retirement they had dreamed of.
“We always planned to move to Cornwall when we retired,” explains Barbara. “But for one reason or another we kept putting it off, until one day we saw a Churchill advert in the newspaper and decided to pick up the telephone on the spur of the moment. We always used to come to Newquay on family holidays when we were younger, so we were excited to hear about the new development at Perran Lodge. We arranged to come and spend a couple of nights in the Lodge’s Guest Suite, and as soon as we walked into the Owners’ Lounge we could feel the warmth and friendly atmosphere of the place. Our minds were made up very quickly!”
“It’s a big move to make at our age,” says Michael. “But Churchill did everything to make sure it went smoothly, Sandi the Sales Executive was a big help in making it so easy for us to make the move, helping to deal with solicitors and estate agents and explaining everything to us along the way. Now we’ve been here a few months we can’t believe our luck to have found somewhere so nice. Maintenance, gardening, DIY and other responsibilities are all things I don’t have to worry about any more. The apartment is so easy to look after, we can just spend our time socialising and enjoying ourselves.”
“I was a builder myself for many years,” Michael adds. “So I really appreciate the quality of the finish and the attention to detail Churchill has put in throughout this development, it really is excellent. Our Lodge Manager Jayne is also a delight, always smiling and nothing is ever too much trouble, it’s very reassuring to have her looking after the place. We feel very lucky and we have to pinch ourselves sometimes, it’s such a dream come true to be here.”
