What our customers say about their holidays

  We had an amazing stay at the end of September into early October and was amazed at just how spacious the apartment is.

  I have been meaning to send a review for a few weeks now but haven't had a chance. Above everything else I have to say that the bed is the comfiest bed I have slept in for a long time. I brought my mum to Devon for a week so having a spacious two bedroom apartment was essential and meant that whilst I had the master bedroom with ensuite my mum had a more than comfortable sized double size bedroom and the main bathroom with her own bath. ( I have seen a review suggesting that there was not enough hot water for a bath which was not the case during our stay ). We enjoyed having the option to eat breakfast out on the balcony area in addition to a well sized dining table. We were out most nights wether it be to dine or socialise but it was nice to come back to a large comfortable sofa and a smart TV to recline before bed. I also loved that the lift outside the door took you straight down to the underground secure parking and the allocated parking space is actually the space next to the car park entrance from the lift. So very handy ! The apartment is also around a 10/15 minute walk to The Hoe and The Barbican which was perfect for our stay. The views from the apartment are phenomenal. There is also a handy little one stop shop over the road for day to day bits. I have read some comments regarding scaffolding and maintenance issues that were present when we were there but it is clear that this is a maintenance issue relating to the building and not the apartment itself and can easily be avoided by using the lift therefore it didn't affect our stay. Thank you for a lovely stay in your beautiful apartment. John & Carol

  The house was lovely, very clean and well appointed.

  Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for the 8 of us, including plenty of storage space which can often be lacking in holiday homes. We were especially pleased with the kitchen which had everything you would need and more. The second fridge was particularly helpful as we were a large group. We were able to park right outside most of the time which was really helpful. I have only give 3 out of 4 for comfort because the house was very hot! We turned the storage heaters down to the lowest settings and it was still boiling. We couldn't work out how to turn off the heated towel rails which seemed to be on 24 hours a day. Good to know that the house would be warm in the winter, but it was a bit much for us in spring and must be costing you a fortune! Also there were two stair gates provided but neither fitted on the stairs, so were pretty useless. Luckily our children were old enough to be sensible but could be a big problem for crawling babies. We loved the location close to Noss Mayo. It was lovely and quiet but not far to drive to bigger towns and Plymouth. We visited some lovely beaches and appreciated the folder with guidance on what to expect locally. Our favourite beach was Wembury for rock pools and we also had a great ice cream at Surfing Cow which is very local. We didn't get much use from the facilities on site as we were out and about a lot, but we briefly visited the tennis court and games room which were in great shape and nice to have the option.

  The word penthouse implies to many people a sense of luxury - the view from this property is certainly stunning & we enjoyed watching the ferries, yachts and boats.

  It is also very spacious. It was great to have a secure space for parking under the building. Sadly, there were many negatives which did not meet our expectations for a penthouse. The patio doors were very hard to open & close and were not water tight. The sofa & chair are not at all comfortable; very low & difficult to get up from. The dining chairs are too low for the table. The kitchen is very compact & there’s no storage space for items not belonging in the fridge like bread, tins etc. The shower, being electric, is feeble & inconsistent in temperature. The shower head kept falling off the holder. There was not enough hot water for a bath. The building itself and the surrounding ‘block’ are very run down. There is still scaffolding but there were not any workmen all week. The hallway on our floor had a hole in the ceiling & a rotten windowsill and skirting board. Many issues are down to a maintenance company or companies, however, the penthouse really needs a lot of TLC to be fantastic.

  We arrived at the property on Fri 9 October 2020 for a girls weekend and we were immediately impressed with not only our property but the surrounding areas!

  Very picturesque! The weather was amazing too and we could see for miles! We soon settled in for the night and made ourselves comfortable! Beds were really comfy and it was nice to have the kitchen/dining area on a different level. We went for a hike on the Sat to Stoke Beach, which was stunning as was the weather that day and we out for hours! Some of us also ventured to the beach next to it which looked like something out of the Mediterranean! Lots of photo opportunities too! We were booked in on the Sat evening for dinner at the Ship Inn, which did not disappoint! Both the food in the Restaurant and the surrounding area was stunning! I would definitely recommend this property and the Ship Inn is the place to go! The food and service were first class. All in all a fabulous stay. Only downside was the bottom oven wasn't working properly and we had to make do with the grill.

  Lovely place, thank you for letting us stay there!

  Fantastic place to stay with great facilities. Quiet out of season. Lovely nature walks and small villages everywhere. Saw Roe deer two days in a row in a field between Holbeton and A379. Beautiful narrow lanes across the whole area which required some artistic driving of a large car (could be a nightmare in peak season or bank holidays I'd imagine!) The permanent retractable stair gate from the lounge was a great subtle feature, not sure if they could be on all points of the stairs (but we did note there were removable stair gates in the cupboard that could be fitted). There are a lot of stairs at the property, but two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor too. Overbeck garden (Salcombe) and Wembury beach were to be recommended but having National Trust membership will save you a lot of money in entry and parking fees. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable week!
