"Wow what a property."
It was really clean when we arrived. The beds were comfortable and it felt like home from home. We had some beverages on arrival which was a welcomed gift. I haven’t stopped talking about the house and we can’t wait to re book. Thank you for making this week away enjoyable.
Dear Mrs Hill - we're really glad that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to accommodating you again. Property Owner

"The house is really lovely and we really enjoyed our stay."
The outside area is great and the open plan living is lovely. However, we found the area not great for teenagers. We had to drive everywhere to find anything fun for them to do and that’s not always fun as the roads away from the property are not for the faint hearted. Where the roads are so narrow, what you think is a short journey in mileage actually ends up taking double the time. The house is also extremely hot! I honestly don’t know how we would have coped if the weather was any warmer. I think an investment in some air conditioning would be a good idea. Going downstairs for the toilet was also a little annoying, but I am 8 months pregnant so probably annoyed me more than it usually would. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and we would definitely recommended it to people who enjoy walking and the beach, it just didn’t quite suit our needs at this moment in time :)
Dear Mrs H - I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay. I'm sorry that the area didn't quite fulfill your family's holiday needs. Property Owner

"At least a month before arriving we Requested that one of the superking beds to be split to make two singles ."
This request was ignored. We had to phone a few times to speak to someone,, said could we not leave it till following day ..we said no we couldn't. they gave us information where the the duvet and sheets where kept, so we did it ourselves .on moving beds to be split, we found sweet papers and accumulated dust so sorted it all out
Dear Mr B - I'm so sorry to read that your bed- splitting request was not actioned.I have liaised with the property management company to ensure that such an error does not reocurr.I hope that we can make it up to you should you ever decide to stay with us again.Once again apologies for our mistake.

"One of the best equipped holiday homes we have ever stayed in."
Welcome pack lovely. Comfortable beds. Fabulous outside seating area. More attention needs to be given to cleaning, although on the face of it everything looks good,once you settle in you begin to notice how dusty the place is. Skirting boards, table legs, behind the sofa by the windows. ( no we didn't pull the sofas out,the dust is easily seen). One of the real negative points for us was how sound travels in an open plan house! Not good when you are trying to get children to sleep. On the whole a really nice place to stay, but take note this looks directly over a huge caravan site and the roads leading to the house are frighteningly narrow.
Dear Mrs C - many thanks for the constructive feedback.I have already raised the issue of dust with the property manager to help ensure that there is no recurrence.I am glad that you enjoyed your stay and overall found it a nice place to stay.I hope that we can accommodate you once again.

"The property was lovely and very comfortable but the view wasn’t brilliant as it overlooked a caravan park, which was not highlighted when booked."
Fortunately we visited out of school holidays and was quiet, but do not know if it would have been like this during school holidays. There were quite a few wood lice within the property and on arrival there was a smell of drains, when we contacted the property manager we were advised how to temporarily resolve the issue ourselves during our stay. Also, plug sockets near mirrors would be welcomed for doing hair and makeup. The welcome pack was a lovely addition. I would recommend this accommodation despite the little complaints. It is such a lovely area and plenty of beaches to visit all within easy reach. The narrow winding road to the property is a little hair-raising to say the least. The road at the back of the caravan park is certainly the road to use.
Dear Mrs N - many thanks for providing feedback.I am glad that you found the property lovely and comfortable and I hope that you had an enjoyable break. The property manager has already discussed the drains with me and is immediately seeking to remedy the issue . The patio doors had become stuck open prior to your visit and maybe insects had ingressed. We apologise for this as its clearly unacceptable. We had been awaiting specialist parts but the doors have now been repaired and the property will undergo a deep clean as necessary.We hope that we are able to host you again. Property Owner

"We had a truly wonderful stay at 7 Beachdown."
The Property inside and out is stunning with everything we needed. We had lovely BBQ’s outside and it was easy to cook meals when we wanted. The property was exceptionally clean. At the end of our week we did not want to leave, which is not normally the case! Thank you so much.

Thank you.

"Absolutely love this property."
The location is fantastic and outdoor space is wonderful. We also enjoyed cooking and dinning in the gorgeous kitchen. We simply couldn’t fault anything. Only a couple of suggestions, could do with a dressing table or shelf with mirror to do hair and makeup, I had to stand in the small room by the bathroom as only mirror where plug is. Also, maybe some curtains as very bright in the early morning. Thanks for the fab stay.

"7 Beachdowns is a beautiful spotless home where every detail to make our stay was very well considered and accommodated for."
Even the dog got his own bowls, feed mat and bed to use. The house is very spacious, bright and incredibly well kitted out to a very high standard, The garden areas are really lovely and were used daily by us, the outside sofa was sooo comfy too and continued the high standard from the inside. The location was stunning just a short walk across the headland to Bigbury-on-Sea and Burgh island, and a lovely bay across the headland in the other direction. Wonderful scenery and coastline. I would certainly recommend a stay here, we all agreed we had never stayed in such a well considered equipped home, AND it’s dog friendly. It’s so refreshing to stay in a lovely clean high standard home with a dog and respect it as one would do in our own home, 7 Beachdowns was an absolute delight and offered just the break and R&R I needed.
Dear Mrs C - many thanks for the very kind feedback. We're so happy that you enjoyed both the property and your stay. We look forward to hosting you again. Property Owner

Thank you for the stay, would recommend. Lanes can be tricky at times. Catered for all ages. Lovely evening walk over to Burgh Island. Thanks again!!

"The location of the property was totally misrepresented."
The detail described it as a quaint village. It was not. It was totally geared for caravans. The road to the property consisted of a single track road for miles, with passing places, not helpful when you are next door to a site containing hundreds of caravans. A site that at no point was mentioned, not even in the directions, when it would have been easier to mention it. It was clear that the intention was for visitors to arrive knowing nothing of the site. If we knew of the site there is no way we would have booked it. It totally spoiled our stay. The village naturally was geared to the hundreds of caravans not a luxury property.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We can only apologise that you felt mislead by the description, this would never have been our intention. We will, of course review the wording and pictures on the website and make adjustments if appropriate. We do hope you still had a lovely holiday and enjoyed all the area has to offer. Property Owner
