While guests are generally satisfied with the facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and internet access, there are mixed comments about maintenance issues such as outdated welcome information and a less effective TV. There is not enough consistent detail to provide a score.

Excellent as always. Lovely house in a quite location but close to the main street and the Coop. The house was well equipped, as always. T.V works better than before. Internet is always a nice touch. Providing bas tea and coffee making ingredients for when guests get there is a nice touch. Cleaning was a bit patchy, quite a lot of dust under the sofas and the broadband modem (for example). My wife tells that the main bed, which was previously very comfortable, this new mattres is uncomfortable now.

Buckfastleigh is an excellent location to be able to get out exploring. The house is in the town centre so 2 mins walk to co-op and chip shop/pubs. Allocated parking space and the fully enclosed garden for my dog are for me the main plus features of this house. The only negative I have is the oddness of there being a huge mirror above the bed, where you cant actually use it, and none on the wall at the actual height needed to use it for getting ready/drying hair etc.
