Bed And Breakfasts With Hot Tubs In Slapton

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

  The Bothy is one of the loveliest cottages we have ever stayed at.

  From the moment we rounded the bend in the track and saw it framed by idyllic fields, and with the backdrop of a blue, sparkling sea, we knew it was going to be a special place, and it was. It is completely self-contained - we didn't see another human being (apart from a farmer in the distance driving a hay baler and the occasional person who came to feed the sheep) the entire time we were in the cottage, and all we could hear was the wind in the trees, the birds and the aforementioned sheep, who were our welcome companions for the week. The views, from around the cottage and through the lounge windows, are sublime, and you can walk down the hill and into Slapton Wood which, again, was deserted and felt like our own private woodland. We heard so many species of birds, and saw both a barn owl and a tawny owl, which was wonderful! The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, and contained everything we needed for the week. The beds were really comfortable and, combined with the complete darkness and silence at night, gave us a week of great sleep. The hot tub is a lovely addition, particularly when sitting in it at night under the stars. The location of The Bothy is also ideal - we had days out in Brixham, Dartmouth and Salcombe, as well as a drive over Dartmoor. We walked the half a mile to one of the pubs in the village, and Slapton Nature Reserve (well worth a visit) and Slapton Sands are only a mile away. If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing and nature-filled holiday, we couldn't recommend The Bothy more!

  This was our third stay at The Bothy, and sadly our last.

  We have had two exceptionally great holidays here in the past, but it seems the general care for the property is not obviously a priority for the owners anymore. We can not fault the location and setting of The Bothy, which is just so unique and the perfect place to get away for a relaxing break. Sadly, the bedding was very unclean on arrival along with generally everything in the house, we had to wash all the bedding and mattress protectors. Everything in the kitchen cupboards was really grubby, and had to be washed up. Not only was the cleanliness dreadful throughout, but a lot of things in the house don’t work properly or are broken, the list is endless! A real shame as it used to be our favourite place to stay and was always immaculately clean and well cared for, but unfortunately the location and setting do not make up for these issues.

  The Bothy was everything we had hoped for and more.

  For us, the combination of the quality of the property coupled with the peace, quiet and remoteness was perfect. Yes you need a car to get everywhere, but that is a small price to pay in my opinion. The central location enables you to access many of the wonders of the South Hams with ease. The owners of the property are on hand if needed, nothing is too much trouble for them. The Bothy is decorated, furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Lovely touches abound including a night light in the bathroom, timed outside fairy lights above the hot tub area and plenty of logs for the fire pit for barbecuing or simply enjoying an evening outside with a glass or two watching the sunset. No surprise then that we have already rebooked for the same week next year.

  THE BOTHY IS AMAZING!

  It's a joke among people I know that I have the most ridiculous standards for holiday homes - I usually look at about 500 (only a slight exaggeration!) before I find one I like. The Bothy is both beautifully modern and full of character - the views are stunning and the outside area is lovely. There's a firepit, beautiful sun loungers and a table and chairs. Beds very comfy, kitchen wonderful including more than the standard 4 coffee pods! We had a wonderful stay, the area is beautiful and the price was fantastic. Only slight thing to mention was that the internet isn't fast enough to stream TV, which is to be expected but we thought it maybe as advertised as smart TV. Thanks for a fab stay in Devon.

  If you're looking for peace and tranquility on your holidays, look no further.

  The Bothy is surrounded by rolling Devon hills (and sheep). In the evenings there were no lights from other properties to be seen in a 360 degree circle. Maybe too isolated for some people but we loved it! And bear in mind that, although you can walk into Slapton village, it is a very steep walk back. South Devon is all about those hills! The property was spotlessly clean, and the owners liaised with us by text re. our choice of time for them to come in to clean and change bedding at the end of our first week. We have already booked again for next year, but will be taking far less with us next time as the property is so well equipped. All in all a great holiday.
