    “Well , it did have a lovely sea view and a nice garden.”

    General overall standard of the bungalow is not good enough for the price charged. The was a musty smell on first entering. Lots of dust, cobwebs and spiders. Bed linen was stained and on removing the pillow cases as requested on leaving found the pillows awful - old and heavily stained. There was even a dead spider under the sheet on one of the single beds.The kitchen area floor was very sticky we needed to mop it. It was also giving way by the end of the breakfast bar. More utensils needed ...

    General overall standard of the bungalow is not good enough for the price charged. The was a musty smell on first entering. Lots of dust, cobwebs and spiders. Bed linen was stained and on removing the pillow cases as requested on leaving found the pillows awful - old and heavily stained. There was even a dead spider under the sheet on one of the single beds.The kitchen area floor was very sticky we needed to mop it. It was also giving way by the end of the breakfast bar. More utensils needed such as a decent measuring jug. The washing up bowl was past its best. Three of the small glasses were chipped and cracked. The bathroom needed an upgrade and a deep clean.All in all it was not acceptable for a holiday home.

    Dear Mr Lancey, Thank you for your feedback and I am only sorry that the good weather did not last for you. I apologise for the dust and cobwebs, this shouldn't happen. We have discussed this with our Cleaning company and adjustments will be made. The occasional spider is however inevitable in this type of seaside bungalow. Re the musty smell, we haven't noticed this ourselves but are investigating We have refreshed the bedding in the property. We have replaced damaged items in the kitchen. The bathroom furniture is always cleaned thoroughly prior to guests' arrival, but we will look into the 'hard to reach' areas. We are sorry that you were not satisfied but do wish you would have contacted us having provided all our details to you prior to your arrival Property Owner

About the location

BIGBURY-ON-SEA

Modbury 6 miles; Plymouth 12 miles.

Bigbury-on-Sea is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is ideal for family holidays. Dusted with sand and lapped by shallow waters, the beach offers safe fun for groups particularly if you’ve got children in tow. In addition, Bigbury-on-Sea beach is dotted with rock pools, so there’s plenty of entertainment for budding marine biologists. There’s also a wide and varied selection of watersports available to visitors who prefer their holidays to feature a little adrenaline rush. Windsurfing and kite-surfing are popular here, with hire facilities located right on the beach. To give you some peace of mind, there are lifeguards present at Bigbury-on-Sea beach during May to September and the beach also has a first-aid room. You can even take the dog onto the beach, although they are restricted to certain areas during the summer. Bigbury’s most famous landmark is Burgh Island, which overlooks the beach itself. The island is accessible at low tide, when the waters reveal a causeway that links it to the beach. However, when the tide is in you can still reach the island by hitching a ride on the popular and unique ‘sea tractor’. Burgh Island boasts an award-winning hotel, elegant and rather genteel, it’s an ideal romantic retreat for couples. Explore the South Devon coast with its fabulous sandy beaches and its breathtakingly beautiful coastal path or simply take time to visit some of the charming estuary towns and villages dotted throughout the area, such as Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. The city of Plymouth and the wild open spaces of Dartmoor are also both close at hand.
