They say a great holiday should leave you wanting more. 

One holidaying couple has taken the notion to new heights by returning to their favourite seaside location 60 times in the last 10 years.

Holiday of dreams: Sid and Joyce Goode enjoy stays at Abbey Lawn Hotel so much they visit six times a year

'The staff are so friendly': The pensioners like to sit and watch the world go by, do suduko puzzles and dance

According to them, nothing beats the hospitality and warm welcome they receive at Abbey Lawn hotel behind Torquay seafront.

Sid said: 'When we were in our 80s we loved to dance, so having a dance floor bigger than a postage stamp made the Abbey Lawn perfect for us.

'Now that we are not so mobile we appreciate the two swimming pools and lots of space to read the papers, chat to guests and relax.

Milestone: In December Sid will celebrate his 90th birthday at hotel and couple will return next year

According to the Goodes, nothing beats the hospitality at Abbey Lawn hotel behind Torquay seafront

'The staff are so friendly.

'The manager Barry is a one-off. I love his sense of humour you can always have a laugh with him.

'In the evenings we have entertainment laid on so there is always something happening and we don't get bored.

'I have my routine of getting the paper, having breakfast and doing a suduko puzzle.

'We like to watch the world go by rather than rushing about on trips and we sometimes look after Barry's dog.'

Sid is looking forward to celebrating his 90th birthday at the hotel in December and the couple have already booked nine luxury coach tours with Robinsons Holidays to the location next year.

And Reese is clearly pleased, smiling away as she headed to lunch in Beverly Hills, California, on Thursday.

Celebrating? Reese Witherspoon headed to lunch in Beverly Hills, California, as news broke she had sold off the last portion of her Brentwood compound

Trulia reports the Walk The Line star had originally listed the massive Brentwood home for $14 million in June.

But, showing her savvy business side, the actress split off part of the land that had a separate 'tear down' house on it to sell separately.

The property - which had a three bedroom home on it - sold for $3.55 million last month and was initially intended to become part of her sprawling when she purchased it in 2012.

Feeling good: The 38-year-old was clearly pleased.
