  The property could do with some modernization and polish.

  There were numerous cracks in the plaster, including a large one in the bedroom ceiling. The repair which had been done on previous damage to the bedroom ceiling also looked poorly finished. The paintwork around the property was also poorly finished in places, including paint on door handles and light fixtures. The extractor fan in the bathroom was also pretty well clogged with dirt and dust, and rust was visible around the edges of the mirror too. These may seem like minor issues, but combined it makes the property feel tired and old. The garden could have done with some grass in it too, as opposed to the stone chippings, I understand this is a personal preference, however, with the property welcoming dogs, grass is certainly more welcome to them. While I appreciate nothing can be done about the parking situation, it should be made very clear in the listing about the angle of the slope. With an older car like ours, we struggled to safely park, putting stress on the handbrake and running high on the clutch. We had to put bricks under the wheels, to stop the car slipping down the slope. This could be dangerous if people are trying to unload the car and the vehicle starts to slip. There was not much storage space for our food, so we left it out on the countertop, however, should the property be renovated I'm sure this is something that could be addressed. The house is in a really good location, with a great outlook too.

  Not the cleaniest of the rooms upon arrival, as used tissues were found under the main bed and hair strands in the corner of the kitchen / living room.

  The vacuum cleaner was found to be full and there was no vacuum cleaner nozzle attachment or dust pan available. The black bags provided to place used bed linen at end of stay seem too small. Tip/ Warning: something to keep the long seat along the back of the kitchen worktop away from the worktop wall would be recommended, as anyone tall can easily hit their back of their head on the very hard kitchen worktop edge when sitting down, OUCH!! The apartment was a good size, great to have a large upright fridge freezer. As the apartment could hold easily 5 persons, a 2nd set of keys would have been useful. A great week away for exploring the wider area, anyone who has trouble reversing a car along narrow roads should avoid this part of Devon! TIP: Fuel is more expensive in the area, IF travelling south along A38 enroute to Salcombe, call into TRAGO MILLS petrol station as its the cheapest in the area. A two vehicle group could have a problem with parking as only one parking space allocated, an arrangement with other apartments would help if not occupied? Beautiful place / location, best when the weather is good.

  Sadly the house was dirty, dusty, dated, basic & overall unloved.

  Unsure when the property was last cleaned as the dust was thick, the number of bugs in the bathroom light was disgusting & the spider webs in every corner of ever room looked well established. The cleaner had left a cloth on one of the beds which was well dry so guessing it’s been a while. Also the bedsheets were dirty! The house is tired, clearly the owners don’t care about it & have done nothing to it since they came into ownership of it. It is dated & basic. The TV doesn’t work, there is no DVD player as advertised and no sound system. The properties either side of 2 Rockmount are stunning, which makes this house look even worse! The access via stairs isn’t bad, but the over grown bushes which hang over the steps at the back & the front of the property are! This house hasn’t seen TLC for a long time. I reported the TV not working on our 1st day & my concerns regarding the property’s hygiene etc, no one got back to me! Overall, I would not recommend this property to anyone!

  Property comfortable but tired.

  Well situated. Excellent kettle and water pressure. Would have been much better with a working hoover, a high chair, a heated rail to dry wet coats and a few games.. Carpets and lounge cushions grubby. Cobwebs. Broken chairs in garden x 2 and bathroom lights x 3.. Chipped plate and cracked dish. Freezer had not been cleaned for months. Thick ice hiding broken drawer. Shower drain blocked with hair and debris. Water leaked rapidly across bathroom floor onto bedroom carpet, down thru ceiling into hall cupboard. This was also very dirty. Next door having new drive laid so woken by noisy workmen and pneumatic drill. Thank you for sending the tea pot and chocolates. These were enjoyed.
