  Based on a Christmas stay for 8 adults costing £2200 The positives are: Great location for access to beach & walking/Burgh Island The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms modern with good showers.

  The dog bed etc is a thoughtful addition The table top football provided a lot of fun Big kitchen/workspace and the outdoor area is spacious and very useable Gated safe community We didn't have hot water when we arrived but the problem was sorted swiftly. Plenty of parking, we parked 3 cars and the electric charger was a positive for us. Some negatives: The house looks over a BIG caravan park, it was closed at Christmas but I should imagine the noise and traffic would be a nuisance in summer. It's a very disappointing view. The house is well equipped and a sociable space, but lacks a cosy feel, therefore it made it difficult to relax fully. And because it's lacks soft furnishings noise bounces around, especially when the table top football is in action! The sofa area particularly needs some rethinking, it provides a place to watch TV, but isn't sociable because you are all sat in a line, rather than a group. The coffee table is too small and you can't reach it from the sofa. If you use Challaborough on SAT NAV instead of postcode you come into the area via a tarmac road rather than a very narrow dirt track with a lot of potholes! This would seem a more sensible way to arrive. We also noted the following: Only one champagne glass Wine glasses could do with being upgraded Fridge is small for 8 and the door doesn't seem to shut fully. Cooker small for cooking for 8 adults Table is a tight squeeze for 8 adults Could do with a second shoe tray, not big enough for 16 shoes! Not sure the extractor fans were working, alarms set off twice 'Wardrobes' not very practical, no drawers for jumpers/t-shirts etc. We had an enjoyable stay, but based on the above we'd not revisit, or recommend to friends. It is a great location for the beach and walking but didn't provide us with a warm cosy feeling. Might be better for a summer stay, although you'd then be sharing the beach with 350 static caravan families!!

  We had the absolute best time staying here. The house, grounds and facilities are fantastic! The house was ideal for our group size and was clean, tidy and furnished beautifully. We loved the little bbq terrace outside for late night dining once the kids were in bed. The swimming pool and park area was amazing, our children loved swimming every day and the trampoline was such a hit! The whole place felt like it catered to adults and children alike and I think any age group would be happy here. Annie and the team were incredibly helpful and responsive too. The location was great for some quiet walks but also being near beautiful Kingsbridge and a short drive to Salcombe. The information book had some excellent recommendations in too, we used the fishmonger, veg shop and butcher from the book and they were definitely worth recommending. We had a fabulous time here and will definitely look to book again.

  The house is really lovely and we really enjoyed our stay.

  The outside area is great and the open plan living is lovely. However, we found the area not great for teenagers. We had to drive everywhere to find anything fun for them to do and that’s not always fun as the roads away from the property are not for the faint hearted. Where the roads are so narrow, what you think is a short journey in mileage actually ends up taking double the time. The house is also extremely hot! I honestly don’t know how we would have coped if the weather was any warmer. I think an investment in some air conditioning would be a good idea. Going downstairs for the toilet was also a little annoying, but I am 8 months pregnant so probably annoyed me more than it usually would. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and we would definitely recommended it to people who enjoy walking and the beach, it just didn’t quite suit our needs at this moment in time :)

  7 Beachdowns is a beautiful spotless home where every detail to make our stay was very well considered and accommodated for.

  Even the dog got his own bowls, feed mat and bed to use. The house is very spacious, bright and incredibly well kitted out to a very high standard, The garden areas are really lovely and were used daily by us, the outside sofa was sooo comfy too and continued the high standard from the inside. The location was stunning just a short walk across the headland to Bigbury-on-Sea and Burgh island, and a lovely bay across the headland in the other direction. Wonderful scenery and coastline. I would certainly recommend a stay here, we all agreed we had never stayed in such a well considered equipped home, AND it’s dog friendly. It’s so refreshing to stay in a lovely clean high standard home with a dog and respect it as one would do in our own home, 7 Beachdowns was an absolute delight and offered just the break and R&R I needed.

  The property was lovely and very comfortable but the view wasn’t brilliant as it overlooked a caravan park, which was not highlighted when booked.

  Fortunately we visited out of school holidays and was quiet, but do not know if it would have been like this during school holidays. There were quite a few wood lice within the property and on arrival there was a smell of drains, when we contacted the property manager we were advised how to temporarily resolve the issue ourselves during our stay. Also, plug sockets near mirrors would be welcomed for doing hair and makeup. The welcome pack was a lovely addition. I would recommend this accommodation despite the little complaints. It is such a lovely area and plenty of beaches to visit all within easy reach. The narrow winding road to the property is a little hair-raising to say the least. The road at the back of the caravan park is certainly the road to use.
