Snowdrop

Snowdrop was well placed for a good viewand comfortable and cosy. The donkey sanctuary next door is a fantastic bonus for walking and relaxing.

Access across poorly developed roadways access to lodge requires you to walk across a grassy slope. Slippery and messy when wet. There are no facilities in hall for wet clothes and shoes. Extractor fan in main bathroom works poorly no cleaning products for bathrooms. En suite shower plug blocked that we cleared with bleach. No means of drying clothes except drying rack a washer dryer or outside drying would help. Excellent kitchen appliances but cooking equipment is showing signs of wear and tear, frying pan is flaking Teflon and pan handles loose. Realistically there is no possibility of using Internet access on this site and phone access is unreliable. A more modern television which allowed access to radio stations and had inputs that allowed guests to bring there own media such as memory sticks or DVDs would be useful. The TV would need to be sited allowing this access, at present it is attached to a wall which limits access for plug in media has no visible HDMI slot. A number of the inserted spotlights are failing and flashing. The above comments are intended to be helpful rather than criticism.it The unfinished gable end gave a poor first impression on arrival but didn't spoil our stay.

A pleasant stay near to the beautiful Donkey sanctuary

Clean accommodation, very comfortable beds . Lots of extras , dishwasher, washing machine, even d/washer tablets and w/machine detergent for use by guests . Nice shower , lovely warm bathroom with heated towel rail , and good supply of towels .

The microwave was broken ( turntable ) so couldn't use . Shower hose on bath taps didn't work properly. Had wrong key code to get in , luckily rectified quickly , but had to use patio door for entry and exit , as front door was so difficult to open with key . The patio area could have done with weeding , and old broken garden chair left in garden storage box . The area accommodation was in is very run down , especially on main entrance , and the unmade road is really bad, big uneven surfaces , easily rectified with gravel filling .

Good value, needs improving

Excellent location - quiet, right next to the donkey sanctuary, beautiful views of the surrounding area. Small but well stocked kitchen (although no tin opener, so if you take tins, make sure they have ring pulls!). Plenty of room in the property. Plenty of space for clothes. Nice little patio area with picnic table for outdoor dining. Nice hot shower in ensuite. Overall, good value for a week in August.

The beds are probably the most uncomfortable we have ever used. My husband and I ended up sleeping on the sofas as our sleep was interrupted so badly on the extremely hard mattresses. The welcome email states that the property is wheelchair friendly, which is true to an extent with plenty of room inside for a wheelchair to move about, but the property DOES NOT have step free access. There are 4 entrances into the property (front door, patio doors and a door each in both of the bedrooms) and they all have a step, so would need a ramp or to be lifted over to gain access to the property. The bin in the kitchen (pardon the pun) is rubbish! The lid is broken, which means you have to use two hands to open it, which is tricky when you are cooking and trying to keep your hands clean! Seems a bit nit picky to mention, but as we were using the kitchen almost exclusively to keep our spending to a limit, it had a big impact on our experience. It needs to be changed for a pedal lid bin. The listing states there is WiFi, but we were unable to access it, so it should be taken off as this is not true. We were told the details of the WiFi in the welcome email, but we were unable to log onto the network at any point on any of our devices, despite trying at different times of the day. The 'jacuzzi' bath tub was not working at any point, and there was no phone number to contact someone to try and get it fixed. The back patio doors are broken and are very difficult to open. It needs to be mended as someone might hurt themselves or damage it further by trying to open it. The windows in the living room do not open as there is no key. We had to leave the patio doors open during a warm summer week which was not ideal as we had our dog with us, so had to keep a constant eye on her so she didn't roam outside.

4.0 / 10.0

Disappointing

When I contacted the owners they did try to help with issues we had.

The property was not as advertised. There was no view due to the garden being overgrown, and there was not ample seating outside to seat 6 people, unless it was at an old rotten garden bench. There were bits of sheeting laid around the garden, and there was dog mess in the garden when we got there!!!! The property had clearly not been cleaned properly, with cobwebs, dirty walls and dirty floors in the bathrooms, along with a bad leak in one of them causing a terrible smell. Under the dining table was covered with crumbs, as were the chairs. The shower controls did not work so the water was just red hot and couldn't be cooled down. The description of the property said there wee 2 sofa beds, which there were not, there was only 1. The crockery and oven tins needed washing before we used them. The whole place smelt musty. The WiFi was not working when we arrived and we had to wait a couple of days for it to be looked at. This wasn't ideal, as we picked the property for that purpose, for work and contact with family etc. The property was generally very tired, all the furniture was rickety and cheap, with shelf brackets missing in one wardrobe so the shelf wobbled about all over the place, and the bedside tables were damaged on the top. Just needs a real revamp. Disappointed with the property compared to the description.

Our third visit to Stoneleigh and our second stay in Angelica. Would definitely recommend.

The holiday village is quiet and well laid out. Ideal situation for our visit to Sidmouth. The bungalow is well equipped and comfortable. Plenty of parking space.

As there is hardly any phone signal, it would be good to have accessible Wi-Fi.

6.0 / 10.0

Pleasant property, lacking a bit of tlc.

Good sized cottage with plenty of parking. Quiet location. The seats in the lounge were nice and comfy.

There was a stale/damp smell which persisted even though we opened the doors and windows. Not very well equipped- we only found 3 teaspoons and 2 cereal bowls and no chopping board in the kitchen. We would have expected a folder detailing things like the WiFi code, hot water instructions etc and where to put the rubbish and recycling.

I have stayed at Stoneleigh Village several times for the Sidmouth Folk Week, it’s close to Sidmouth but far enough out

Great location, clean and tidy, plenty of parking, outside space, quiet, close to Sidmouth.

nice but in need of tlc

having stayed there for 3 years now, the location for donkey sanctuary is perfect. kitchen is very well equipped. lovely views, plenty of parking

beds are a bit uncomfortable. I sent them a few recommendations when we stayed there 2 years ago and found the same things needed. WiFi is not good, batteries in TV remote didn't work, a shelf needed in both bathrooms and a dripping tap in the bath amongst othere

An odd place.

The fixtures kept falling off blind/kitchen doors/picture frames. The area was strange lots of potential but messy with what looked like lots of empty/inhabitable chalets around. Only parking for some vehicles and untidy areas.

8.0 / 10.0

Nice but watch out pot holes

The location, facilities and peaceful surroundings. Donkey sanctuary nearby and costal walks

The curtains were thin one of the other homes left their outdoor light on all.night . Which meant we couldn't sleep . Potholes in location roads

5 nights in Stoneleigh

Whats not to like, great location for a base, great facilities in the property, washing machine and dishwasher. Comfortable and homely. Loved our short stay.

For us the main bed was a little low (not getting any younger) but not enough to complain about. Fine for our short stay. Bed was very comfy so slept well.

8.0 / 10.0

All in all reasonably good accommodation at a fair price.

Nice and quiet location. Complete inventory, everything you might need is there.

Cottage needs some inside and outside maintenance. Pergola is rotten in dome area's, and will likely fall apart when leaned on. The gravel paths on the site, leading to the cottage, are really awful, full of unnecessary potholes. Furthermore, the reception is closed, nobody there. The site looks like it's becoming abandoned.

5.0 / 10.0

Passable

Good location. Comfy beds. Good to have washing machine and dishwasher.

Lightbulbs in lounge not working. Curtain rails in lounge barely attached to wall so we didn't dare close the curtains in case they fell down. Large patch of peeling paint in the bathroom by the the bath. Patches of mildew in hall, bedrooms and bathroom. Rotten skirting board and mouldy wall in hall by bathroom (where shower is presumably leaking). Broken clothes airers and armchair and sofa have rips in them. Dog hair in lounge rug.

Peaceful location

Loved how peaceful and quiet it was, the donkey sanctuary is within walking distance and a great place to visit we loved it, beautiful walks and nature reserves in the surrounding area, holiday home was spacious, very well equipped and clean, the beds we’re very comfortable and bedding and towels immaculate, we had a wonderful weeks stay thank you.

Idilic Devon holiday.

Our cottage was spacious, well equipped - washer/dryer, dish washer with tablets on the side. Plenty of cooking equipment, the space outside was lovely and the children enjoyed playing outside. The beds were comfy and the bathroom had a lovely bath. The large dining room table was enjoyed by all, eating and playing games. Loved been next door to the donkey sanctuary. The walk from the donkey sanctuary to Weston beach is a must.

The spiders! Mushrooms growing out of the tiles in the bathroom, we had to remove them. The shower head was grim, the shower skirt kept falling off. The place wasn't as clean as I would have liked but I am very picky with cleanliness, it didn't spoil anything but a bit of a better dust and hoover would have been nice, especially underneath and behind furniture. The towels and bedding were really clean and fresh. The kitchen, oven dishwasher and washing washing machine were clean, it was just the finer details. The property and site needed some maintenance to make it truly beautiful. The swimming pool and bar going back would make it a perfect family site.

8.0 / 10.0

Enjoyed the location and nice house.

Lovely modern property. Suitable for 3 people. Good contact with owner.

The pull out bed took up all of the 2nd bedroom and there was no room whatsoever. It would have been better with a sofa bed in the lounge. No WIFI for entire stay. Could do with ceiling cobwebs being cleaned. Patio needed weeding and better garden furniture needed. The grounds are tired and need a good garden tidy up

Great location but needs some TLC

The village is situated in a lovely location with lots to see and do close by

The rooms themselves could have done with a little bit of modernization and some general TLC.

A lovely site in a good location to experience the Jurassic coast beaches.

We rented two cottages and both were excellent and exactly what we wanted. My son and his children used one and we used the other with our daughters visiting at different times during the week. We were all very happy with the facilities, beds were good and the kitchen has everything you could want for self catering.

Our particular stay didn't highlight any shortfalls, we were happy with everything.

Good

The location was fabulous, and we loved the proximity to the donkey sanctuary and country walks. Accommodation was well equipped and comfortable. Bill was friendly and quick to respond when we had a maintenance issue

Accommodation was a little tired, and there were some low-level areas that had been missed when cleaning.

8.0 / 10.0

We had an enjoyable week at Stoneleigh. On the whole the accommodation had everything we needed and was very comfortable

Most of the property/facilities were great. With the odd exception it had everything you needed to make your stay comfortable. It was a good size- there was 3 of us staying but if there had been 4 there was plenty of room to not feel overcrowded. The beds were really comfortable - slept really well - and the linen/towels were good quality. Nice quiet location and close to the donkey sanctuary so we could see them when coming and going. Not far to travel to get to some lovely locations. - we did Sidmouth, Beer, Seaton (bit tired and rundown), Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton and travelled further to see Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.

There was a couple of things that let the property down. It was a bit tired in places - could probably do with a repaint outside. The floor as you enter the hall is loose and needs resealing down. Could do with a dustpan and brush as there is a broom but then no way of sweeping off the floor into the bin. The outside handle on the main bedroom door was missing. There was a clothes airer but the one leg was snapped off so it wouldn’t have stood up so was a bit pointless. There was supposed to be internet but none of us were able to sign on to it and our phones only worked early in the morning or late at night. With this in mind a book on places to go to/visit would have been useful - along with local shops/pubs/restaurants etc - as there was only one leaflet about Sidmouth! Also there was a load of spiderwebs along the side of one of the settees and a few high on the ceiling that hadn’t been cleared. The road as you entered the park had some very big potholes that definitely need to be sorted. The pictures on the booking site are a bit jumbled as the interior/exterior of ours didn’t completely match with the pics shown - presume as there are a few to rent on the same park that they’ve got mixed up - but probably should get them sorted for the property your choosing. Although there seems a lot of negative most are easily fixable to make stays better.

Number 17 Very, very disappointing. We will NOT be back. We will not be recommending. No 17

Overall the lodge was very nice, good beds, clean and tidy.

We stayed at No 17. This was our second week We had a dreadful start to our holiday the previous week. In this second week we had NO WIFI for 3days, then very limited wifi for the rest of the week.

Great location, but property needs a little tlc.

The site was lovely and quiet, well kept communal areas, and handy for local towns and beaches. Lovely walks from the site around the Donkey Sanctuary.

There were a couple of issues with the property:- No wi-fi, though it stated there was in the listing, Some lights in the bathroom didn't work No instructions for appliances

3.0 / 10.0

Very, very disappointing. We will NOT be back. We will not be recommending.

We had a good view from the lodge, and a large field to walk the dog.

No email/text before we arrived so we didn't have the key safe code. No one replied to our texts /phone calls. Booking.com failed to get us the key code. We couldn't find a hotel in the area to put us up for the night.. Luckily a "Good Samariton" gave us the key. At the back of the lodge there is a pile of old mattresses stacked up, what an eyesore. Tiny fridge/freezer hardly big enough for two. Lots of niggley faults.
