Some other issues with cleanliness on this occasion too. Can't fault Coast and Country, though, who were highly responsive and keen to put right what they could (which they did), but even they couldn't rectify the small and shabby sofa, which the owners presumably thought would do. Well, not at this price point it won't. Of all the properties we've rented over our twenty-something years of coming to South Hams (minimum once a year), this was our third and, I'm afraid, now final visit to No. 2 Poundstone Court, However, definitely not our last let through Coast and Country.

 The bedrooms are large and airy, with one having a good sized en-suite bathroom with shower over the bath and the other an en-suite shower and toilet.  The kitchen is small but well equipped but could be improved with decent coffee making facilities. We needed 2 car parking spaces which this property is advertised as having but the one in the garage was unusable unless it was for a very small car as there was a long bench with tools sticking out making parking impossible.  Fortunately we were out of season, so could find parking on nearby roads for one car without too much trouble. In high season that could prove tricky and expensive.Â
