What was once a cherished holiday destination for the Osborne family in the 1970s, became a home in the 80s when the resort became available to purchase. Brian and Betty Osborne jumped at the chance to buy it, and now, two decades on the resort remains in the family with two of Brian and Betty's children now at the helm.
