What our customers say about their holidays

  The property was in a lovely location and very well appointed.

  It is one we would choose again and recommend to family and friends. Unfortunately it had not been cleaned properly. I had requested non feather bedding etc because I am an asthmatic and very allergic to feathers, a common issue these days. There seemed to be a problem about this (see emails). The main bedroom did have non allergenic bedding but the old feather bedding had been left in the wardrobes without covers! It had to be moved into another bedroom and all the wardrobes cleaned. They were very dusty and dirty and the end one had black mould up the wall, on the carpet and on the mirror and picture stored in it. The carpet and skirtings, etc were very dusty but when we found the vacuum cleaner it too was needed dusting before use, also it needed emptying. Our first evening and following morning were spent cleaning this room. This was very disappointing and could have caused serious health issues for an asthmatic, never mind someone with a serious allergy problem. I sent emails to the local agent about this who said they would look into it. They offered a further clean later in the week but having done most of it we didn’t want further disruption to our holiday. This is a very nice property let down by cleaning/ supervision issues. These need to be seriously addressed by the maintenance company. We feel sorry for the owners.

  A real gem!

  A lot of thought has obviously gone into setting up the very well equipped Hide Away which is stylishly and comfortably furnished. The peace and quiet hit us within minutes of arriving when, with our first cuppa, we sat at the patio table and took in views of the valley beyond listening to birdsong and clucking hens. To our amusement, the cows in the adjoining field came to the fence to check us out. Relaxing sleep was achieved in the extremely comfortable bed. The accommodation is spacious, clean, light and bright. Location is perfect for visiting local beaches, country towns and villages details of which can be found in the Guest folder. Vicky is an excellent, friendly, smiley Host who bakes a delicious Lemon Drizzle cake. Thank you. We will definitely be back but Sykes - Why only 4 ticks?

  This is a wonderful cottage with great facilities.

  Our kids made daily use of the indoor heated pool and we used the gym as well as massage treatment on site. You couldn't ask for more in terms of facilities and location (v near to loads of beautiful beaches and coves). Hosts were very friendly and approachable yet left us to our own devices. Lovely welcome on arrival of fresh flowers and cream tea. Only slight criticism if i had to think of something is being a high ceilinged old building there were a few hard to reach cobwebs and two single beds pushed together for mummy and daddy were a bit of a challenge! This certainly did not dampen our trip though and overall would highly recommend this place and would love to return!

  Just perfect.

  The apartment was lovely, the setting is perfect. We were blessed with sunshine and sat on the patio most evenings watching the coming & going on the water. We took a couple of very comfy recliners with us which made all the difference, it meant shifting the table and chairs around but that was all. The apartment is well placed to get the ferry to Salcombe or buses to further afield. Parking is secure which is a bonus and although the space for the apartment is tight I didn’t have a problem getting a big family saloon in and out without any problem. We loved our time there and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it. We will be back.

  The Hideaway was a fantastic base for our Devon holiday.

  It was clean, spacious for 4 people (2 adults & 2 children) & well appointed with everything we could need on our week away. Vicky was a super host offering recommendations of beaches to visit, activities to keep both kids & adults happy & places to eat. The welcome package was perfect after a long drive & the home made lemon cake was delicious!! A word of warning if you aren't confident driver, access to the Hideaway is down some very narrow lanes & reversing to passing places happened often but that's the Devonshire roads for you & it wouldn't put me off booking to stay here again in the future. Highly recommended!!
