What our customers say about their holidays

  We had such a lovely holiday.

  It was our first time back in Torquay since 2020 (when I was pregnant with my daughter). We returned this year with both our little girl & baby boy. The apartment was a lot bigger than we expected but it was so nice, spacious & clean. It was very local to the town & as we don’t drive it was so easy to walk down through town to the Marina & get to the beach. There was also a regular bus service along the road if we needed it, which took you all the way to Paignton too. The beds were super comfy and the travel cot was comfy for our baby too. We’ve had problems before where they are rock solid and luckily this wasn’t the case: The area is quite noisy with buses & cars (that cannot be helped). The people downstairs also decided to move in / move furniture at 10pm the first night we stayed which disrupted us. However we had no problems other than that. Our daughter is already asking when we are going back to our “holiday house” as she called it. We hope to return again! We also recommended the property to a few of our friends. :)

  Very clean, lovely pictures and plants etc around the apartment, super comfy bed, and located in an ideal position for us, within walking distance to Dartmouth but close to Warfleet Creek to get away from the bustle of the town and walk down to the creek every evening for a quiet drink and sit and listen to the birds. We had no hot water for the last three days, but after reading in the apartment details it would probably take a day to get back to us and discuss our problem, and it had to be an emergency, we decided not to bother as we would then have had only a day left of our holiday. The details in the handbook need updating, vis, incorrect server details for logging on, hob information incorrect, the wrong name of the acomodation was printed on one of the pages, all of this didn't spoil our holiday and we would choose the apartment again as it was clean and comfy and in the right place for us. The details in the handbook could be easily rectified and would add, rather than detract from the company's ratings.

  Oystershell cottage is in a fabulous location, with outstanding views from the front of the property and the vertiginous terraced garden. It was very clean and comfortable, and felt like a home. The kitchen is a little rustic but has all you need to prepare a meal. The appliances - including the full size dishwasher - were all like new and worked perfectly. Also the utility room was great for storing gear. There were some very thoughtful touches like a crab net and bucket, a bbq and ample garden furniture. The garden is slightly wild but pretty, with a lovely deck and summer house at the top, and benefits from the sun for the most part of the day. Although the cottage is on the main road to the ferry, there wasn’t much traffic and it was very quiet in the evenings - we could hear the owls hooting in the woods on the other side of the creek. Kingswear itself is attractive with good walks from the village and easy, frequent access to Dartmouth on the ferry. Overall a great place to stay.

  We had at a lovely holiday at this fabulous cottage. It is very well equiped if you want to stay in & cook and positioned within easy walking distance of pubs, cafe's & restaurants in both Kingswear and Dartmouth. Beautifully furnished with a lovely log burner making for a cosy night on a chilly evening. The view from the lounge & upper deck has spectaluar views over the River Dart and we never tired of watching the steam train and boats go by! It was lovely to sit on the front terrace with a glass of wine early evening before it got to cold and then light to fire inside for a cosy evening. The cottage is positioned really well, for getting the Ferry over to Dartmouth or the bus to Brixham or Paignton, lovely to be able to leave the car parked up for a week. We will definetly be back.

  5 The Pottery was a fantastic place to stay in Devon. The location was fantastic, and the property was clean and spacious. We had a very comfortable stay and would love to go back some day. Just a small note to guests about what is and isn't available at the property would be useful when they pack. We packed a few things that were available at the property such as hair dryer, but didn't pack any toilet paper as we thought there would be enough for the number of days we had booked. There was only one in each bathroom, and we had to find a store that was open on a Sunday evening (Co-op was within walking distance) to buy more. For a longer stay, especially with children, it would be useful to know ahead of time what to take.
