  • "Nice property but let down on some things."

    The first thing we had to do was open all the windows as it smelled fusty, like sweaty socks. That didn't work so we had to buy some air freshener. The downstairs toilet had been left unflushed and the kettle in the kitchen had been left half full of water. Something in the bathroom gave me an allergic reaction each time I went in but I couldn't pinpoint what - my wife was unaffected and it is usually her that is sensitive with allergies. Bed in main bedroom very comfortable but sleep disturbance due to street light opposite shining through the curtains. (We have black out curtains at home). Location in cul-de-sac is very quiet apart from the Monday morning seagulls very noisily screeching whilst attacking and emptying the food waste bins which woke us early. Single bed in front bedroom noisy when moving about. Marks on carpet in main bedroom. Not impressed with the plethora of tissue boxes with notes stuck on them saying to refill and recycle. Unhygienic to do that and perhaps only one box might have been left as they only cost 59 pence in Aldi. Property was clean, otherwise but, unnecessarily, let down by the above.

    We are disappointed to hear that your stay was not all that you expected. In trying to maintain our high standards, on the Monday before your visit, we hired a brand-new carpet cleaner to clean both bedroom and hall carpets. This was completed that day and the house was both heated and ventilated for the 3 days before your arrival. Apologies for the state of the downstairs cloakroom, but we shall address this issue with the Lyme Bay housekeeping team. Regarding blackout curtains, these are available in bedroom 2 at the back for those who find difficulties with outside lights, which in the case of the street light goes out just after midnight By choosing the property that is within 2 miles of the coast, seagulls are likely to be heard occasionally. The single bed in the front bedroom has a brand-new mattress, so noise will not be a problem Property Owner

  • "Had a lovely stay at Woody View, its a home from home, very comfortable, clean and quiet."

    Well situated to visit East Devon and Dorset. Would highly recommend and probably one of the best rentals we have stayed at.

  • "A great house which has a lovely view and is very clean, comfortable and well equipped."

    A lovely summer house to sit in in the back garden is great if you want a quiet moment. Only downside is the house is on top of a fairly steep hill.

  • "A lovely clean, well equipped house situated in a quiet street."

    This all ensured our holiday was very enjoyable. Beds were comfortable as was the lounge furniture . We loved the summerhouse, nice to go to after a busy day investigating the area, to enjoy a glass or 2 of wine , enjoying the view. We also loved using it on days when we just needed to relax and maybe read a book. The house is well placed to get to any area in East Devon. Would definitely recommend if wanting to visit this area.

  • "Nice rental & location with a good standard of furnishing & equipment, but not all guests live in a world of push button technology."

    Instruction manual on equipment poorly laid out and found TV, cooker, microwave & washer/drier instructions frustrating & opaque.

    There is a file in the kitchen entitled "how it works" which has the principal pages of the various handbooks. However as the manufactures' instructions are not always very clear, we shall try to include some simplified highlights. Property Owner

    Great views of the surrounding countryside. Seaton only 5 to 10 minutes away, and handy for the Seaton Tramway. A real home from home!
