Villas With Hot Tubs In Devon

What our customers say about their holidays

  The house has such great potential, however we had several issues during our stay, and some positives too.

  1) The dishwasher was broken, we were told when we arrived - as 3 families (11 people) this wasn't ideal, it was a lot of extra time washing dishes on a supposed luxury break, I know these things can't be helped, but it was not replaced until literally the morning we left (the irony!) this could have been resolved much sooner. 2) The hot tub was freezing cold for the first 24 hours, we were told it was due to it being 'cleaned' yet no other lodge we have stayed at had this problem, it was also never inspected for the entire week we were there, other lodges have someone come every morning to check the ph levels etc, which may have caused our illness (see further down). 3) The house was not cleaned to a satisfactory standard, firstly, let me say the main cleaner was absolutely wonderful, a lovely lady who tried her best, but that property is too much for one cleaner, you need a couple of cleaners to really properly clean it, the wooden floor was dirty, the sofa had a musty smell (why fabric sofa's in a lodge? Surely get leather easier to clean!) Positives; 1) The tennis court is brilliant, as are the swings/play area for the kids, clean and just a really good area, fresh air, no need for video game consoles! 2) The staff on site, particularly the main cleaner, and the lady in the main office who kept informing us of the dishwasher situation, she also sent the cleaner to clean the lodge when we mentioned the issue. 3) 2 Bottles of wine on arrival, very nice touch, and very nice wine. 4) Beds were comfortable, showers were powerful, rooms were huge. Unfortunately, out of 11 of us, 9 of us were sick during and following the stay, the children from the early part of the stay, later moving on to the adults - whilst we can't exactly pinpoint what caused it, we have our suspicions it was related to the hot tub cleanliness. When all is said and done, would we go back there? Probably not.

  House was very clean and well equipped.

  We went away with our children and grandchildren so there were 10 of us. The bedrooms we’re comfortable and spacious (4 with en suite). The lounge area didn’t have enough sofas for 10 people and meant some had to use the large footstool and dining chairs which weren’t ideal. The house is close to Dartmouth and has lovely views from 2 of the bedrooms. We were told the pool and children’s play area was out of use due to COVID situation but on arrival it was clear the children’s playground was out of use due to the building works being undertaken so that wasn’t so good. The hot tub had constant warm water that was cleaned daily. Tennis court was good and readily available for use. The house has a small decking area and no garden which we didn’t realise so that made it difficult for the grandchildren to run around freely. Would have been a nice touch for a small shop to get early morning milk, bread & eggs etc, but local supermarket a short drive away. House is well situated for a quiet peaceful holiday or short drive will take you to local towns, beaches and places of interest.

  We ended up feeling like the luckiest people on earth to find fairly last minute availability at this beautiful house.

  It’s situated in a picture perfect village with a great local pub serving really good food. The locals were so friendly, an evening sitting in the pub garden with a cold pint and a delicious meal was just heaven.There’s so much to do within half an hours drive of the house, a week really wasn’t long enough. We were 10 members of extended family and the house catered for us perfectly. Plenty of everything in the kitchen made cooking meals on a couple of occasions easy and stress free. The pub served us brilliantly the other nights and there is a good Chinese takeaway a short drive away. We had 4 teens with us and they practically commandeered the hot tub and pool table. The en-suites and huge main bathroom also meant that even with 10 people getting ready, there was never a queue for the shower. Vicky was the perfect host, so helpful and kind even offering to meet our grocery delivery on the first day if necessary. So to sum it up. Fabulous house in a fabulous setting with a fabulous host. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

  What can I say!

  This property was the best place we have stayed in anywhere in the UK and we have stayed in a lot. Everything had been well thought of and meticulously planned, making our stay so very relaxing. The house itself is immaculately clean, well decorated and very well equipped, with every need catered for. We loved so many things about it, the decor, the sweeping staircase, the pool table, TV, jacuzzi, and all of the outdoor spaces equipped with comfortable seating. Externally the fabulous sunsets, the gorgeous beaches, clear blue sea, the sound of an owl hooting across the valley on a clear evening. Thank you Victoria and Mark for making our holiday so memorable

  Booked in November for 8 people and due to guidelines and then introduction of rule of six, travelled with only six persons.

  No swimming pool and felt that I didn’t get what I had paid for. Repeated emails to Sykes customer service and discussions with Coast and Country yielded no results. Shocking customer service from both. Kitchen area was very small with an unpleasant smell emanating from the cupboard under the sink. There was Insufficient seating to accommodate entire party of six on comfortable chairs in one location, so if you are travelling with more you will be not be able to sit together to relax. Would not like to be 9th or 10th person staying, only 9 dining chairs, main table outside and hot tub only accommodate 8. Best feature without a doubt was the hot tub.
