  First things first, we loved our stay at Baywatch!

  That view is breathtaking and the furnishings are lovely - the whole place is decorated beautifully throughout. Being an old building, with a complicated roof, there are some issues with leaks and there was a large stain at the bottom of the stairs (to the kitchen). We also noticed a damp spot in the bedroom by the bathroom which seems to have been an issue, as the damp was creeping up the bedside cabinet. I did email the cleaning company about this on the day of arrival (in case they were unaware) but didn't hear back. Thankfully this seemed to improve over the week. Honestly though, we loved the place so much that these issues did not impact our stay and we would return in a heartbeat, we just wanted to feed it back so that this can be rectified moving forwards, but appreciate this must be a hard place to maintain, especially in winter. Finally, the dehumidifier does require emptying twice a day but takes less than a minute (so dont be put off)and we found the kitchen a lovely place to be with fantastic appliances. A truly magical stay in a wonderful place.

  Me and my mum spent a week at Spring Cottage and had a wonderful time.

  The cottage is very cosy and the location is brilliant for exploring Lynton and Lynmouth. The owner Keith was lovely and even dropped a pint of milk round when we first arrived so we could have a cup of tea. My only compliant was that the kitchen equipment could do with some upgrading. We tended to go out for lunch and come back to the cottage in the evenings to cook dinner. There were plenty of glasses, plates and cutlery etc but there were no wooden cooking implements, the knives were very blunt with no sharpener and the pans and were a little scratched. Also worth noting that there’s no WIFI and the TV is very small and only gets channels 1 to 5. We didn’t mind too much as we were happy to relax, read and listen to music but WIFI or a DVD player etc would have been nice so we could have watched a film in the evening. Other than that we had a lovely time and would come back again.

  I can only re-iterate what the previous two people have stated.

  This is a stunning, very large, clean, comfortable property. Pics don't really do it justice at all. I think the owners have done a very good job of converting what is a very old, quirky property. Lots of steps and sloping floors. The kitchen is so well equipped and spacious but you can see why there would be damp problems when you look out the windows straight onto the cliff face. There were no unpleasant smells because of the use of oil and reed diffusers. We did use the dehumidifier every day. Fabulous views from the balcony across the bay and location is so convenient for Lynton and Lynmouth. Spoilt for choice with regards to cafe's, restaurants and pubs. Especially enjoyed the walks, Valley of the Rocks is not to be missed and thereafter a stroll around shops and galleries is a must. We would definitely book this one again when we return to the area.

  We had a lovely week staying in Baywatch.

  The apartment is beautifully furnished and bigger than expected. The views from the balcony across the bay are wonderful. We had a problem with getting the keys when we arrived. There were 2 key safes. We used the key safe code we had been given,which only opened one of the key safes, which was empty. My husband, Greg, tried called the Sykes helpline for over 50 minutes, but he could not speak to any one, and there was no reply from the “ housekeeper’s” phone number on the front door. By now it was 7 pm and we thought we would have to sleep in the car. We saw 2 ladies outside a local cafe and my husband asked if he knew anyone who might have keys to the flat. By chance, she knew the cleaner, called him, and he gave me the code to the second key safe, so we were able to get in at last. PLEASE make sure guests have the code to both key safes. Thanks.

  Great location.

  Easy check in. Easy to find, ample parking. Cottage interior tired and enclosed garden still had gaps dog could get through. Lack of WiFi not an issue and had good phone signal. All the crockery and cutlery had a fusty smell and needed washing before using and if you put it away in between it needed washing again as you could taste it! This would prevent me staying here again. Smaller bedroom full of spiders that just kept coming! Appreciate it’s rural - we live rurally ourselves - but this was the only room with the issue. 11 year old wouldn’t go to bed without us checking and removing. Listing had stated there’s an electric meter but there wasn’t which was good news! We had some bad news and had to leave early so couldn’t do the full week. We had a nice stay otherwise.
