10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
No complaints about accommodation at all. It was exactly as described and perfect for 4 adults and 2 4 year olds as a base for exploration.More rural than expected and the very narrow roads are an experience! Fortunately we found the roads to and from the cottage and Kingsbridge to be quiet. Different matter to some other locations and the best beaches in particular. Prepare to be patient. A great stay over the August bank holiday week with perfect weather, fab beaches and place to eat.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Great on site facilities apart from the wi fi being slow. Horrendous country lanes to get to the property, and we live in the countryside. Very clean and well equipped property, though a large freezer would have helped with catering for 6 people.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2022
Not suitable for six people in lounge and kitchen.table too small for all to eat. No freezer certainly hard with small children.bedrooms downstairs damp and smell damp.site manager gave us dehumidifier which we emptied four to six litres per day.
Hot and cold taps in upstairs bathroom shower put on the wrong taps and my husband nearly got scolded.
Access to the property very difficult steps far too high without hand rails. Very hard for elderly to unload their luggage as the walk up is very steep.
No phone working no mobile reception wondered what one would do in an emergency.
Nowhere to store food in kitchen
All taps on kitchen sink and bathroom extremely hard to turn on and off.
All in all for what we paid this was a great disappointment
