We had a lovely time celebrating my birthday here and the location was beautiful, which made it really special. However, there are a few areas that could be improved to make the stay feel more polished and better value for money. When we arrived, there was old BBQ rubbish left in the front garden, and the jacuzzi was clearly not cleaned between guests — it was very dirty, and the cushions inside had started to disintegrate. The outdoor areas in general felt a little scruffy, and the front window leaked during rain, which unfortunately damaged some of my birthday cards. Additionally, the water from the tap tasted unpleasant and wasn’t drinkable. For the price paid, I expected a higher standard, especially in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. With some extra care and attention to these details, it could be an outstanding place to stay. The setting is wonderful and we did enjoy our time overall, but it would benefit from a bit more attention to upkeep.

The property is on a steep hill with tricky access for larger vehicles. We had 3 cars all together so you need to ensure you have a good handbrake! The main road was too busy to walk along with a dog and the grandchildren so I recommend using the car. We had a lot of bugs especially woodlice inside the bedrooms of the property but as we were leaving this was being rectified.

The views from the property across the water were excellent. The hot tub was a family favourite and large enough to enjoy. The open plan kitchen and outside dining areas were great and well laid out. The whole place was well designed, and fairly modern. Useful wine cooler and plenty of fridge freezer space. Decent local supermarket and the beach and main promenade isn't too far in a car. Plenty of local wildlife including morning visits from deer in the field next door.

Some parts show wear, grout loose, and lifting tile in downstairs bathroom. The upstairs shower room has a faulty toilet flush button, better sized pans for hob, and all pans were too big for small meals. Could not figure out the coffee machine. Just made a mess instead of coffee. 🙂.

Spacious, good utilities, nice decor, great hot tub, great location, comfortable beds and nice linen. Cracking view from balcony's.

Very steep driveway and stairs. We wouldn't have wanted to stay if there was ice on the ground.

Beautiful views. Lovely and spacious. Kitchen well stocked with everything needed. Clean and nicely decorated. Not far from the sea.

When a larger group are staying it would be better for beds to have the option of twins at booking stage and another bathroom would have been useful. A few areas need a deeper clean such as patio and bathrooms and kitchen doors need alignment.

Stunning house and view. Beds/pillows were very comfortable. Great hot tub. Well equipped kitchen.

The driveway is very steep but we got used to it. The property could have been a little cleaner in places.

Beautiful setting, stunning views, loved the hot tub!

Parking was tight, but we did have 5 cars! We walked to Teignmouth, Shaldon and Bishopsteignton for pub meals and the roads were busier than I was expecting them to be..

Very comfortable to live in. We were 10 adults and a baby and we did not trip over each other, so a good size for a large party.

Lots of levels and very steep stairs to entrance, so I would be mindful with young children. We did however expect this so not a negative. You'll need energy unpacking from the car to the house. The road leading to the property is very steep but no problem for our suv. I enjoyed it but my wife was very daunted by it. Although the main sofa indoors was clean, the cushions in the viewing room and outdoor seating were heavily stained. Although main garden was well maintained, I needed to clean the main seating areas.This had plenty of foliage, established cobwebs, bugs e.t.c. it only needed one clean and didn't need to do it for the rest of our stay. On removing the hydropool cover, ants and a few bugs had accumulated on the edges so maybe the seal had not been tight all around. Had to do some more cleaning and after this it was fabulous and enjoyable. It would have made a big difference to have had the immediate outdoor seating areas and hydropool to have been cleaned prior to our arrival.

The views are stunning both within the house and exceptional from the top of the garden The inside of the house was clean including beddings, bathrooms e.t.c Plenty of space in the house Modern kitchen with 2 ovens, intergrated, basic amenities present Close proximity to large major supermarket More than adequate for a large family

Nothing at all. Loved the house, loved the area and loved the neighbours.

The location was amazing, hosts were very understanding and helped us whenever we had an issue, even went out of their way to help further than needed. Despite an issue with a door handle, which was down to wear and tear, everything was perfect. The door handle was even fixed whilst we were there. My family loved it and we would 100% go back.

Nothing! The driveway was quite steep - it was absolutely no problem for us but worth mentioning.

The property itself, views, kitchen, outside space inc hot tub, everything was amazing.

- Arriving at the property and cleaners hadn't been. - Having the inconvenience of the cleaners clean the place after check in time, where we had to either leave again or sit on one small part of the big property while they cleaned it. - Have water leaking from the conservatory window making a tiled floor very slippery. - Ants in the downstairs bunk bed room. - Didn't have access to the hydropool hot tub (one of the main reasons we booked this place) for the entire stay as the heating pump failed and everytime the hot tub tried to heat up, it would trip the power. - Power tripping out on the first evening, so we couldn't cook the evening meal and had to sit around the dinner table with a single lamp and have the extra expense of getting a takeaway. (we found out after eating on the first night that the hot tub wasn't usable as that was the cause of the power tripping out) - Found out that the gas bbq didn't work and just had to cook food normally under a grill. - wifi/Internet disappear an hour into the stay, never to be fixed Host did come to the property day after check in to help with issues. Said nothing could be done about the window leak. Couldn't fix Internet. Heating pump couldn't be replaced as bank hol weekend. Brought ant spray with them. Host said that we'd be "sorted out and taken care of' The Cleaning company confirmed they would refund the host, so we'd get the cleaning fee back. Easter Sunday was when we found out bbq wasn't working. Host suggested we go and buy a bbq and they'd reimburse us. After stay ended, host offered 20% refund plus the cleaning fee. We agreed on an amount and instead of refunding back the agreed way, host instructed booking.com to action refund - then booking.com deducted some money from our compensation as there was a 'promotion' on our booking. Neither host nor booking.com took ownership of the situation, kept pointing me to the other party.

The view, the space, comfort of the beds

With a lovely coffee machine, it would have been a nice incentive just to leave a couple of pods and maybe a small milk and/or small loaf bread/tea bags/biscuits on arrival. Stayed in lots houses before and they usually have a little something when you arrive and they all self catering. Also one small thing, wanted to use the bbq and brought food but it was very dirty and moldy so couldn’t use it and it stated in the conditions that there will be a charge if the bbq isn’t cleaned after use? Had problems with the front door too. Was worrying every time we went out if we were going to get back in ok.

The views were so lovely. Loved the conservatory. Could have sat there all day. Beautiful house.

Happy to leave the house as we found it as all places I go to, however having already cleaned and tidied and emptied all the bins I was not expecting to have to strip all the beds too. Maybe that's just me but for how much we paid I would like to think that is part of what you pay for.

Location was perfect and there was a bus stop right outside for those that want to park up and not drive for the whole weekend. High quality beds / fixtures and fittings Views were spectacular Hot Tub was pure luxury 10/10

The property was unsafe, unclean and run down. The management and owners will try to convince you otherwise and may even reply to this review but you have been warned. No railings up the steps and rats coming out of the dishwasher are just some examples of how bad this place is. There is green slime growing in the bathroom. The "bath sheets" were only big enough to be used for the face! It is most certainly not luxury!!

The location was good and the views were great. The jacuzzi was great but that was it. Everything else was very poor.

Nothing.

Absolutely stunning views everywhere you go in the house, stunning facilities all round, beautiful hot tub , fantastic balcony space - sensational all round.

The place was not as clean as expected. The cleaners had not been in and the property was not prepped for our arrival. The cleaning team did arrive the following day at 10am but were surprised to see us at the property so did not come in. We spent an hour or so upon arrival cleaning and tidying the outside area and hot tub so we could use it. The driveway and steps leading up to the property are very steep and our older guest really struggled.

Great location, lovely views communal living area was a fantastic space.

Not a dislike but just to say, it's not dog secure and you need to be quite fit to be able to access the house (steep steps) and the higher garden areas. But you get fab views!!

Beautiful views and a very spacious house. Beds were very comfortable. The hot tub was great. The kids loved it. There was a morrisons just down the road and a bus stop near by.

quite steep steps

the views were amazing and the overall layout of the house made it perfect for the whole family to spend time together. The hot tub definitely had the wow Factor
