  The cottage was lovely.

  Lots of character and very clean. It was very well equipped, including items for a baby or toddler (highchair/ travel cot available/ roll out stairgates already set up upstairs and downstairs). The owners have also clearly thought about how they are managing safety with Covid-19. There is a garden (be aware this is not directly attached to the property), and a very small outside patio space between the living room and kitchen which is quite nice to sit at. The house is situated in a small, quiet village ten minutes drive from Dawlish/Dawlish Warren etc, and a good base for days out. Although no front drive parking, we never had any issue getting a space on the road next to the house, and there is a free village car park right next to the place anyway. Wi-Fi could be a bit patchy at one end of the house, but not really a problem for us. Those with mobility issues may wish to consider that there are a couple of steepish steps between the living area and kitchen. We stayed here with our toddler, and it worked really well for us. We would happily return.

  The apartment, was spacious, well furnished, well stocked ,with kitchen equipment, towels, hand wash in each bathroom, and kitchen.

  A nice Sony TV, an assorted collection of DVDs, for all ages, comfortable sofas, and armchairs, made the evenings enjoyable ! The front windows, facing the balcony, are in need of a little planning, to enable them to be fully closed, it was difficult to engage the catches, which eventually will become detached, and are very draughty ! The electrical socket, in the middle bedroom, supplying power to the 'Wi-Fi', is loose on the wall, and the other, in the 'Dining Room', although secure to the wall, is missing a screw, to the 'Front Plate', making it loose, also, when operating the 'Glen' heater, the plug becomes hot ! These issues aside, we had a very happy time at 'Clarendon House', a mixture of, old rustic charm, with modern facilities ! Had the weather been warmer, evenings could have been spent, on the balcony, fully enjoying the setting sun ! But hey, one can't book the weather ! We would consider, booking again !

  Primrose Cottage provided the perfect holiday retreat whilst retaining that warm homely feeling.

  It was equipped to a high standard by owners who obviously take pride in the quality of fixtures and fittings for their guests. It is located in a quiet village within easy range of Exeter City or the Devon and Dorset coastal areas. The private secluded garden was a particularly welcome feature. Although the village shop has closed, the Farm Shop of Powderham Castle is a five minute walk from the cottage (slight gradient but none too taxing) and provided a wide range of quality provisions. There are walking and cycling paths criss-crossing the area for those who have a mind to explore. A range of eating places are within easy reach (two Restaurants in the village) and the Fish and Chip Van which visits the car park for a couple of hours on Wednesday evening is a must! Our ten day stay was peaceful and relaxing and the cottage played a large part in making that happen.

  Turtle Chalet is a two storey, purpose built holiday home on a large, mixed accommodation type holiday park.

  The park is the best we have ever stayed on, well managed, very clean with a good range of facilities (some of which do cost extra to use), plenty of adjacent parking and within a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. The chalet itself has recently been completely refurbished with new kitchen and shower room with good sized shower and new floor covering throughout. There is a modern overhead electric heating system which is very effective as long as previous guests have not tried to impose their own settings! With comfortable furniture and all the equipment you are likely to need (except a teapot, but that has probably been sorted by now), and a nice welcome pack. Comes highly recommended for anyone looking for a self catering south Devon resort holiday, especially if you like trains.

  On arrival no heating on therefore extremely chilly, was very temperamental all week!

  Ensuite window in double room didn't close properly so very cold in there too.not much pressure out of taps. Lounge curtains unable to close as the rail was very unstable, also windows sealed up with newspaper! Curtain in middle room hanging down.Touch light in twin room didn't work. Apart from bathroom mirrors only one other in the whole apartment which was over the fire place.Also think there could have been some sort of fire in the hearth, there was a gas log burner but this wasn't connected. All in all apart from the excellent location and cleanliness the whole apartment could do with alot of TLC. Not quite up to Sykes standard.
