  I emailed this to the property management company in the welcome pack on Wednesday and have no reply!

  It needs addressing as ruined what could have been a perfect stay. Perhaps you can take it up on our behalf, as you should have advised us: Firstly I’d like to stress that we have been extremely pleased with the accommodation itself, it is very well equipped and in a perfect location. However we were not made aware that there is extensive building work occurring on the joined cottage. I’m not sure if you’re even aware as normally I’d assume there would be a warning email to guests at the very least, or an option of price reduction. . Yesterday morning we were woken to constant loud noise of demolition/drilling and it was not at all possible to sit outside at the back, the plaster dust has covered the garden completely our /wetsuits/ washing line we’re covered in it and also came inside the house causing my husband to have a tight chest (albeit very minor) Today there is a cement mixer parked out front where we sit. The builders are nice guys and are just doing their job so we have not said anything to them, we are not the type of family to ge confrontational. My daughter is here with us trying to revise for her A level mocks and having been through a prolonged 7 year renovation project you can see this is not a great situation for us. It would be wise for you to advise the next guests prior to arrival, I’d hate for someone else to struggle

  Upon walking into the property we thought wow, and breathed s big sigh of relief as looking at some of the other properties behind and in the same row you could be thinking oh no!

  ! The cottage has been modernised to a very high standard. The property was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. The children’s room was lovely and catered for all sizes. The reading material and games for the children was a really nice touch. Instruction manuals for Tv, oven, microwave all very clear and everything easy to use. Really helpful recommendation literature re places to go and things to do in Woolacombe and towns nearby. The garden was well maintained and clean and beautiful views. My one and only complaint was in the double bedroom there was a strong damp smell, the cottage was not damp and we soon realised the curtains had obviously been washed but not dried properly, and maybe re hung whilst still damp, the curtains in the bedroom were clean but had this very strong damp smell, which you could smell as soon as you walked into the bedroom, which was a shame because the cottage is beautiful. When leaving the property my husband mentioned it to the cleaner. I would definitely stay there again if it was just myself and husband. Tranquility park is not for young children, however we used the facilities at Golden Coast which was a 2 minute drive away which cost £20 for the four of us per day. Please don’t let this comment put you off because the cottage is really lovely, close to the beach and other amenities.

  The bungalow has been done to a high standard.

  The main bed was extremely comfortable, never slept so well, great choice of mattress and duvet, thank you. Unfortunately there is a smell of damp in there but I think that is the style of property and it certainly didn’t spoil our stay. The kitchen is compact but has everything required and more. Great taste on plates, mugs, glasses etc and decor. Unfortunately no space for a proper table and chairs apart from outside (which isn’t great if raining) but what is there is acceptable. The bathroom is fab, enjoyed a soak and shower facilities. The back of the property is fine and has a fab view of the sea, very relaxing. The front of the property needs attention on the grass bank as it hasn’t been cut down and looks messy but you don’t spend anytime there just enter the property. We noticed on another review that someone had mentioned it wasn’t a very friendly place with residents, we would say this is a very quiet place but we spoke with 3 different residents who were very friendly and open. Overall we would love to be able to stay here again and thank Adam and Sarah for making this possible, you have definitely made the most of this property and we felt very welcome as soon as we walked in.

  Seal Cottage is a lovely little gem in this part of Devon.

  We visited Woolacombe some 25 years ago for several holidays and wanted to return to this beautiful part of Devon for a long weekend. We stayed at Seal Cottage, it is lovely, it had sea views from the lounge and upstairs main bedroom. All three bedrooms were doubles with the most comfortable beds and two bedrooms were en-suite. The owners had thought of everything, you wanted for nothing. We had our own holiday home in Lanzarote for 11 years before selling it two years ago so we know what it is like to rent property and our feedback was always 'like home from home' and this is exactly what Seal Cottage is, a 'home from home'. Although we went into Woolacombe each day, we could not wait to return to the cottage for a lovely relaxing family time together just chilling and watching some films. It was so quiet and the owners had on supply for you games, freeview TV and if you wanted a picnic the cooler bag and plastic cups etc were there for you to use. Everything from the kitchen equipment to the bed linen were top quality. We will certainly be returning to this little haven we have found. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  The house is well situated, in a lovely quiet spot, pretty village and delightful area.

  There are steep steps to get up to the front door, which might be tricky for some. Good directions to the parking area, for which we were grateful. Beautiful views from front of the house, and lovely walks nearby. Most rooms well furnished and comfortable; the third bedroom has less storage facilities than the others, and no mirror or dressing table. The other bedrooms are very good, clean, with excellent en-suites. The kitchen is well stocked, with good quality kitchen wear, everything one could need. Sadly, the mobile telephone signal is appalling and it was rare that we could communicate with family, from within the cottage. There is a landline, to which we needed to resort and the honesty box is a nice idea. The cottage was booked, quite clearly for 3 people, and a confirmation email sent to this effect, however, there were only sufficient towels for 2 people. We did contact the owner/caretaker on the number provided who rectified this omission immediately. The Devonshire cream tea supplied as a complimentary welcome gift was also only for 2 people.
