"Lovely unusual property."
. Comfortable generally. Pictures of it were good. Big landscaped garden, enclosed so our dog was safe. No shelves or drawers for non hanging clothes. Lots if very good hangers though. Unable to find any info on how to work the oven and the heating system. In wet weather the outside stairs became v.slippy. There was a fire alarm in the kitchen that flashed a blue light, so might need a new battery.

"Thank you for a wonderful stay at West Island, It has been magical!"
Perfect for both adults and our 2 children. Just so you know, the rail for hand towels had fallen down as we arrived last week, we have left it popped against the wall and not used. Thanks again!

"We enjoyed our stay A Super quirky property, lots of outdoor space, well equipped, Netflix /Disney."
Beds and sofa were not the comfiest Fantastic location just off the main high street and Kingsbridge is a great base for exploring the region Luckily, no parking wasn’t too much of an issue as we managed to get a space near to the property to unload/load however I imagine if the weather had been better this could have caused a problem £7 for 24 hours nearby.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback. So happy you loved our little home! West Island is an ongoing project and we are constantly improving things. Just for future reference the car park at the rear of the property at Lower Union Road is £2 for 24hrs. Love Andrew and Andrea Property Owner

About the location
KINGSBRIDGE
Salcombe 5 miles; Bantham 5 miles; Dartmouth 12 miles; Totnes 13 miles; Plymouth 20 miles.
The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of South Devon. Kingsbridge is home to a range of lovely independent shops and coffee shops, as well as a 3-screen cinema and an award-winning pub. During the summer season there are estuary excursions by ferry to Salcombe which lies on the banks of the Kingsbridge Estuary, making it one of the prettiest towns in South Devon. Salcombe is famous for its outstanding coastal views, rolling countryside, and is a watersports paradise for kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding and powerboating. It is packed with boutique shops, high street brands and independent producers, restaurants serving freshly caught seafood, and Salcombe Gin and Ice cream! Kingsbridge is perfectly located as a base to enjoy the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which also forms part of the South Devon Heritage Coast. Visitors can take a walk along the Kingsbridge Quay, wander through the narrow alleys off Fore Street or visit the Shambles in Totnes, an Elizabethan market arcade. Around the South Hams area there are picturesque ports, such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, together with sandy beaches at Blackpool Sands near Stoke Fleming and the two sandy beaches at Thurlestone. There are a host of small attractive villages in South Hams offering interesting pubs, local farm produce shops and pretty rows of cottages, plus further afield the waterfront city of Plymouth is a vibrant centre, housing the National Marine Aquarium, historic Barbican Quay and plenty of night life, including theatres, restaurants and bars. Kingsbridge can be easily reached by train to Totnes and then a local bus service which will take you to Kingsbridge town centre.
