Dirty, unloved and un cared for. Broken dishwasher smells. No obvious instructions on how to work heating. Nothing to say where the washing machine was located as there was nothing when booking to explain it was a communal one not one inside the holiday cottage. Messaged the owners so once they explained eventually found it. Location is reasonable and it was peaceful and quiet.

A lovely location, with brilliant facilities on the estate; the indoor pool 45 min slots were fantastic and the surroundings were beautiful. The house itself is showing signs of being run down; a wonky radiator in the bedroom, loose electrical fixture under the TV, broken kitchen doors, broken dishwasher, and tired mattresses on the beds. Whilst the bathroom was cleaned well on arrival, the kitchen was not cleaned to a high standard and we found rubbish under the sofa when we arrived. That being said, the bathroom was lovely and the shower was great! It is worth a stay for the quiet, relaxing location and brilliant placement within Devon for lots of lovely beaches and outdoor activities.
