Guests say
Pebbles is a quaint and well-equipped cottage in a prime location with convenient access to the train station, pub, and shop. It offers comfortable beds and the bonus of its own parking space, a rarity in Lympstone. Some guests noted the property's charm and suitability as a holiday home, despite minor issues with cleanliness and maintenance.
The cottage's cleanliness has been brought into question due to an incident involving a dirty mop bucket. This suggests that a more thorough cleaning is needed, although the comfortable beds were appreciated.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the train station and a local pub, making it an ideal spot for a holiday. However, there is a mention of early morning disturbances from pub deliveries.
Guests have found the beds very comfortable, which is a significant aspect of the property's appeal. However, concerns were raised about the suitability of the third bedroom for older guests.
The property is well-equipped for a pleasant stay, but there are comments about outdated and unclear information provided for the equipment, indicating a need for updates and better maintenance.
There is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Bargain holiday cottage in excellent location for train station, pub and shop. Beware early morning pub deliveries at the pub on a few days a week will likely wake you up. Remember to bring your own towels. Otherwise well equipped.

Thought the third bedroom up stairs was unsuitable for older people which was not clear in the description, otherwise good.

Ideal location next to Railway Station. If you want to eat in The Swan book as early as possible especially for Sunday Lunch.
