The pictures on your website are nothing like the actual picture. Musty smell in the hall, dimly lit, stair carpets stained, walls badly marked. Bedroom allocated was small, with only a wardrobe as storage, no dressing area, not even a mirror. Bathroom allocated was very small, and smelled damp. Basin had several cracks. Slip mat for bath was mouldy. Dishwasher in kitchen is integrated, the facial door was missing, the actual door would spring back, making it impossible to load or unload. The garden furniture needs replacing, chairs not suitable to sit on and table not suitable to eat off. The parasol on its side on the ground. Garden unkept and overgrown. My husband and I have spent a week in September in South Hams Devon every other year for the last 20 years. Never have we felt the need to complain about a property before. ...

A really lovely property which is in an excellent location. We had a fabulous stay and received great service and prompt responses from classic cottages. Would definitely stay again - thank you!

Great location and classic cottage team very helpful, but unfortunately the property did not meet expectations. We stayed with family and were hoping for a large four bed property for a group of seven adults, a child and baby. Location was great. However, the property was not fit for a large group and it felt like the property had been locked up and only just opened for the summer season… The garden was overgrown, lawn not mowed, patio covered in bushes/ tall hedges/ making the outdoor eating space feel small and dark. Two of the three bathrooms did not have a stand up shower so most of the group ended up using one bathroom! The en suite bathroom smelt of damp stagnant water and was really unpleasant. Noise carries from lounge area up to rooms on the mezzanine which made it difficult with children trying to sleep earlier. I’ve stayed in a lot of places, and am not looking for luxury or usually one to complain, but this place had a few basics missing which really compromised our stay. ...

Mrs Layen July 2024
Lovely area to explore with many good beaches. Kingsbridge is very pretty and well worth a visit. Thurlestone Hotel does a very good evening meal and also morning coffee on their first floor patio. I suggest a very careful consideration of this property if you are planning for someone to sleep on the top bunk as it is very near the sloping ceiling. ...
