"A very comfortable base with gorgeous views whatever the weather made for a great family gathering."
Thank you. One or two maintenance issues (boiler going off twice and ensuite bathroom towel rail valves and broken wall heater) were promptly responded to by the agents. As were our requests for a non slip bath mat, oven gloves and hairdryer.

"Wonderful property with incredible views."
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thank you for the generous provision of food for the first day. Eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, bread, milk, tea, coffee etc Amazing! We would surely visit again.
On the critical side, some windows difficult to open and double glazing has broken down in several places. Cleaning the windows for the wonderful views would be welcomed. We had a problem with the heating and electric shower but these were fixed the same day.

"We had a lovely stay at this house."
We have been before 3 times but … this time there was a problem with the loos - they didn't flush properly and there where sweet wrappers under the beds but aside from that we had a fab time. My grandmother finds the seating not very comfortable ! ! !
We love the views and being so close to the sea and swam everyday we went on walks too! The beds were very comfy. Thank you so much for the lovely stay at your holiday house. We had a wonderful time and truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches and comforts you provided. Your hospitality made our visit memorable, and we look forward to returning in the future.

Dear Loyal Guests,
We are so sorry that you had a problem with the loos but it has transpired there was a problem with the external drains which has now been rectified. We stayed last week and can confirm all is now fine. Unfortunately we have had some previous guests who have flushed items down the loos which have caused the blockages, something unfortunately out of our control and we were only able to act once we knew there was a problem. Re the cleaning we have spoken to Coast & Country, who organise our cleaning for us, as clearly if a thorough job had been done there should not have been sweet wrappers under the beds! So sorry about that! We appreciate your family's loyalty to our property and hope to see you back once our home has been knocked down and rebuilt.... plans afoot for next year! All very exciting!!

"We had an amazing week at Atlantic Lodge!"
Weather was great which helped. It was our second stay there so we knew it had spectacular sea views. The house itself is very welcoming and has everything you need.
A small ask would be a clothes airer to put out on the patio or maybe a new washing line that is not against the wall.
We would definitely book again, although we understand the house is about to undergo a major project - good luck with it :)

"On the whole we enjoyed our stay."
The beds were really comfortable and the en-suite shower was great. But we were really disappointed by the state of the windows. The house is in a position with stunning views but the windows were filthy and it was a real shame. Considering what it costs for a week- windows we can see through is not a lot to ask!!! We were fortunate to have some lovely sunny weather but trying to cook in a kitchen in full sun when there is no blind and a kitchen window you can't open made it a really uncomfortable hot and stuffy experience. Generally the house and pod could do with a bit of TLC

"We had a wonderful stay at Atlantic Lodge, so much so, have booked again, can’t wait."
Unlike a usual holiday let, It felt like we were guests in someone’s home. Warm & Cosy. Beautiful decor, well equipped kitchen, although I couldn’t find a cheese grater or the glass plate for the microwave! We have stayed at many different holiday lets this was by far the most comfortable. Great access/parking, and close to local amenities. Fantastic view. The weather was stormy last week, and also extremely windy, a couple of the windows had more ventilation due to fittings than I would like, but I guess that’s a bonus in the summer. Thank you.

"We had a fantastic time at Atlantic Lodge."
There were fabulous views from the lounge and the pod especially, but it as great to sea the sea from the kitchen as well. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed for cooking - all mod cons, with a great fridge freezer, modern cooker/hob and plenty of storage/work space. The house is well positioned for getting to the beaches and for walking. We enjoyed walking straight from the house and also driving around. In the evenings we sat on the beaches - the weather was very kind to us. The beds were comfortable as were the seats - maybe more are needed for eight people, we were only five, but could only sit four comfortably. The television has a large, clear screen, but we didn’t watch it much as there were too many other things to do! We ate out twice in the village - good meals, but expensive when beer is £9.95 a can!
Our one BIG criticism is the cleanliness of the kitchen utensils, cutlery and cooking pans. Some of these were actually very dirty and had obviously not been washed since the last occupants, maybe longer. In a time of pandemic this is just not good enough. SUCH a shame because we would definitely like to come back after such a brilliant time in a beautiful place.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments regarding your stay at Atlantic Lodge. We work very hard with our Owners and individual cleaners/caretakers to ensure all properties are clean, tidy and well-presented before the arrival of holiday guests and we are sorry that these checks did not highlight the issues you have raised.
The property is due for its annual deep clean in March where thorough cleaning of all areas will take place. We were glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in Hope Cove and hope to see you again soon.

"Given the price we would have appreciated a welcome pack even if just a pint of milk."
Sofas very old and uncomfortable and difficult to see the tv.
Bed in master bedroom with en-suite very uncomfortable with a worn memory foam mattress. Mattress in other double needed a turn.
Kitchen small with high cupboards! And quite a bit of clutter in the property which meant we had less space to put our own bits.
Otherwise, the view was amazing, bathrooms were good and we loved the location.
Thank you for your recent feedback regarding your stay at Atlantic Lodge. We do not provide a welcome pack upon arrival however, we do supply other additional extras such as kitchen roll, washing up liquid and dish washer tablets. A welcome pack is something we may consider in the future. The lounge has been furnished to maximise the view but for your future reference, please feel free to turn the sofa around. We note your comment about the mattress being uncomfortable. It is a memory foam mattress, which is not very old. The feedback, in respect to the furnishings, has generally been very positive but we do thank you for your comments. We are pleased you enjoyed the location and the views of our beautiful home.

the views were amazing , It's so nice not to have to use the car every day, good hikes either direction. although we did venture to Overbeck, NT near Salcombe,one day, really worth a visit. the weather was so lovely we enjoyed being on the beach too and swimming. One little minor detail, only half a loo roll in each bathroom, and no spares, however a quick visit to the village store solved the problem. Is this normal, better be prepared next time!Thank you very much owners of the house a great holiday much too short a stay.

We love the house, the village, the views and the surrounding landscape. It is just right for me and my now 94 year Dad though the days of striding out across Bolt Tail are long gone, for him at least. I am glad to say that the walk to the pub is still manageable though - even the steep hill on the way back! We thoroughly enjoyed our time there this year and were particularly delighted that the new doors have hooks on the back of them, even though that meant I left a jacket behind which was duly returned to me with next to no fuss. Many thanks to the Salcombe team for that ... We look forward to our next visit.

"Excellent location and accommodation with lovely views over the bay and along the coast."
This is the best self-catering holiday home we've ever stayed in. The beds were very comfortable and the home was extremely well equipped with more kitchen crockery, cutlery and utensils than in my own kitchen. There are games and books to keep you amused and there's a good, large wall mounted television.
You can hear the sea, it's that close to the beach. In fact at low tide there are two beaches within a few minutes walking distance, two at high tide. The south west coast path can be seen from the home. That too is within a few minutes walking distance.
You can eat outdoors at the table on the terrace while enjoying the wonderful sea view.
It's a land and sea scape photographer's paradise and the sunsets are spectacular.
This would not be a suitable holiday home for anyone with mobility problems because there's quite a long, steep path up and down to the beach.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your valuable feedback in respect of Atlantic Lodge in Hope Cove. It is wonderful to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay in this lovely property with its wonderful sea views. It sounds as though Atlantic Lodge suited you perfectly!

"The rating is based on value for money."
The price was high for the time of year. The property is not special except for the view. The layout is poor, the kitchen small and the furnishings not special. It could have been cleaned better; there was some dust, and we found a sock under a bed. The broom cupboard was messy and needed a brush to go with the dustpan. We found a mouse in the kitchen. Has one been found before? If so something ought to have been done to block up the likely entry point, and we'd have appreciated a warning so that we could have brought a trap and not left food out. Again bearing in mind the price something in the fridge or at least a welcome note would have been appreciated. (Compare Helpful Holidays etc)
Thank you for your detailed feedback in respect of your recent holiday.
I am disappointed that you did not find the accommodation either to your satisfaction or good value for money. As you are aware Atlantic Lodge can sleep up to 8 people and the Winter rental charge of c£720/week is only a little over £100/night for a large group. Whilst I do appreciate that you booked the property for just 4 adults and an infant the rental pricing (in this instance) was for a higher occupancy, and therefore, proportionately more expensive for your smaller party. We have many larger properties that are discounted for 'reduced occupancy' through the Winter and I am only sorry we were not able to discuss these options with you before you confirmed your booking.
Although the property has only very recently been awarded a 4-Star rating by VisitEngland there are a number of issues raised that we will follow up with the housekeeper. To our knowledge (and we have marketed this property for over 12 years) we have had no issues with mice in the past and will ensure this matter is dealt with immediately. I am also sorry that you did not appear to find our detailed folder that contains a range of local information and welcome letter from my wife and I - we will ensure this is left in a more prominent position for future guests.
In conclusion I am disappointed once again that your expectations were not met on this occasion. If you wish to discuss any of the matters raised further please do not hesitate to contact me directly at any time.
