I cannot recommend highly enough, we had an amazing time and will definately return.

Paula May 2025

“Gorgeous well appointed flat.”

Would have preferred the bed to have been made up as a king like in the photos on-line rather than two single beds. Blinds in the bay window of the main bedroom would be preferable to the thick curtains which close across the dressing table area and prevent using it at night with the lights on - especially important at the moment considering the building scaffolding on the property next door is directly adjacent to that window causing privacy issues.

Andrew October 2024

“This is an excellent property, a second-floor apartment with superb facilities, overlooking a quaint parade of shops.”

The bedrooms are spacious and well-appointed, the kitchen had all the tools we needed, the bathroom very clean (with fab shower) and it was fantastic to have a dining room/lounge to relax in. The property is a short walk from the coast and has lots of attractions including Babbacombe Model Village, Kents Cavern, the Cliff Railway and Oddicombe Beach. Paignton Zoo is also less than half an hour away by car. There are lots of places to eat in the immediate vicinity without having to drive. On arrival, the heating had a fault, but it was very promptly sorted for us (Neil, the owner, was quick to reply to messages and organise an engineer - couldn't have asked for more). We had an amazing week and loved the property. We hope to visit again!

- Andrew, October 2024

Thank you for this fabulous review, so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, Chapelstones always has a welcome for you! Property Owner
Ernest October 2024

“We loved it!”

Believe the reviews! Its comfortable, exceedingly clean, well furnished throughout and well equipped! Also very quiet! Good parking, and well placed for local amenities! We literally parked the car and left it there till the day we left. Excellent, regular bus service to other places of interest along the coast like Torquay, Teignmouth and Dawlish to name a few. All in all a very nice place to stay. Hope to come back soon!

- Ernest, October 2024

Thank you for your lovely review, you are always welcome at Chapelstones. Property Owner
Philip September 2024

“The accommodation was exactly as it said on your website, apart from the settees it was extremely comfortable, the bed just invited you in, a really good nights sleep.”

The apartment is immaculately clean and well presented, a thumbs up to Neil and Maxine and their staff. The location couldn't be better for us with shops, bus stops, pubs, places to visit and a leisurely stroll to Babbacombe downs. I have no hesitation in recommending No.2 Chapelstones

- Philip, September 2024

Thank you for your review, we would appreciate it if you could email us regarding your concern, in order that we may address anything that needs our attention. Best regards, Maxine. Property Owner

“Thank You. What a nice place to stay with shops round the corner.”

The property was immaculate and very comfortable. The flat was home from home with all the facilities provided, included heating!, as we chose a week when the weather got a little colder. It was so central to all the places we wished to visit. Thoroughly enjoyable stay. Mike

Sheila June 2024

“Property was ideally located close to all amenities, including supermarkets, cafes, bakers and fishmongers.”

Restaurants are within walking distance, with others a short drive away. The apartment was clean, comfortable and tastefully furnished. Would have been a nice touch to have a welcome pack, but this didn’t detract from our stay. Would certainly recommend a visit.

- Sheila, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we provide tea, coffee, milk and biscuits to welcome you, please let us know if that was not available. Be lovely to see you again Property Owner
Colin June 2024

“Absolutely first class apartment with generous sized rooms kitted out with all you could possibly need and more.”

This was one of those rear moments that you felt comfortably at home. Max and Neil were also very helpful with their communication. The apartment was also ideally situated for access to local shops and Babbacombe prom with many convenient places to eat.

- Colin, June 2024

So happy to hear you had a lovely stay at Chapelstones, always welcome! Property Owner
Atanaska May 2024

“We enjoyed our stay over the May 2024 half term, was absolute pleasure.”

The cleanest of the property was amazing. Much more spacious & comfortable than the expectations the photos are giving you when booking, and we are family of two adults and three children. Location 100% spot on. We happily would stay again in near future. Thank you so much!!!

- Atanaska, May 2024

It suited my needs absolutely perfectly.

- Phil, October 2023
Graham September 2023

“Lovely holiday flat.”

Much larger than expected with lots of space to relax. Really good location close to shops and cafes. Bedrooms overlook the pedestrian area of St Marychurch but was also very quiet and peaceful. Allocated parking space, easy to find and good access to Torquay either by driving or walking. Thoroughly recommend

- Graham, September 2023

So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, hope to see you again! Property Owner
Patricia July 2023

“This property is outstanding!”

It’s been tastefully decorated and furnished, has everything and more that one would need, the cleanliness is 100per cent, a good location and the owner couldn’t have been more helpful when we contacted him about something.

- Patricia, July 2023

Nice big beds, nice large rooms, with comfy sofas. Great place thanks.

“Excellent location and close to the number 22 bus route which enabled us to continue walking the local sections of the SW Coast path.”

Quiet location (apart from the sea gulls at times!). Spacious rooms and well equipped.

Jane June 2023

“Lovely well equipped apartment.”

Bonus parking spot. Very informative guide giving emergency numbers and where important switches located if needed electric etc. Felt at home straight away due to contact from Neil and Max from the moment we booked. Would certainly plan to stay at Chapelstones again perhaps for a longer stay. One small negative on description on website 2 flights of stairs to reach property after parking. Just in case mobility issues exist.

- Jane, June 2023

Thank you for your constructive feedback, we will ask Helpful Holidays to adjust the description. Best wishes and hope to see you again at Chapelsto Property Owner

Very comfortable, clean, and relaxing accomodation. Lovely location. Would recommend. Thank you to all concerned.

- Joan, November 2022

Thank you Joan, was our pleasure, best wishes in your new home! Property Owner
Norman October 2022

“Well presented and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

The sign on the back of the toilet is offensive.

- Norman, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback, sorry for offending, it was not intended, this is meant as a fun reminder due to Covid and the sink being in the shower room. We didn't want an official notice in our home, so tried to have a bit of fun to a serious matter. Property Owner
Joan September 2022

“We have had a very relaxing stay at 2 Chapelstones.”

The apartment was the cleanest holiday accomodation we have ever stayed in. A tribute to the Owners and especially the Cleaning Team. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you to all concerned.

- Joan, September 2022
Victoria September 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at 2 Chapelstones.”

It was a lovely apartment, and had everything that we could possibly wish for. A lovely haven away from home. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others and plan to return again.

Patrick June 2022

“From the start of the booking Neil made contact and supplied us with useful information and made both himself & Maxine easily accessible for contact.”

This is a first for us as Sykes normally release this info once the full balance of the holiday has been paid - really refreshing to see and the info Neil provided early on gave us plenty of time to plan our holiday! Plenty of mentions in other reviews mention the quality of the accommodation and equipment etc and we would echo that! The location for us was perfect within easy walking distance of a lovely beach and plenty of boutique shops. Also, key locations within Torbay an easy short drive away. All in all a super stay and yet another quality Sykes Cottage!!

- Patrick, June 2022

Hi Patrick and so glad you enjoyed your stay. We're always pleased to share our local knowledge having lived here for most of our lives. Modern technology helps us to keep in contact and we're only a Whatsapp message away at all times! Keep in touch and hopefully speak again. Kind regards Neil & Maxine Property Owner
Christopher May 2022

“Very comfortable apartment everything you needed was there.”

We were unsure if we could use the outdoor space but it didn’t spoil our stay. We especially liked the precinct and the walk to the beach great!

- Christopher, May 2022
Maria March 2022

“We found the apartment clean, spacious and very comfortable.”

The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The location was great for our needs and there were plenty of shops around for supplies. Maxine and Neil contacted us straight away to provide all the necessary information and were available for any assistance even helping in extending our stay by an extra day. We had very enjoyable time at Chapelstones and would not hesitate to stay there again.

- Maria, March 2022
Robert February 2022

“This is a fabulous apartment, with every facility you could ever need.”

Spectacularly clean, with a beautiful kitchen, which has almost every conceivable thing you will need, and more. This apartment is a well placed base from which to explore the surrounding area. We arrived in Torquay by train and used the extensive and frequent bus services that are available. There is a small bus station not more than 200 yards away, just around the corner from the Co-Op. There are 3 well stocked supermarkets within a 500yard radius of the apartment. There is a Co-Op, a Sainsburys and a good Tesco's. Unfortunately the 2 pubs in the precinct were not to out liking, and are best avoided, as they were very crowded and extremely noisy, but there is a good selection of venues just a little further down the road on Babbacombe Downs, or a short bus ride into Torquay and back, with no parking worries! Would I recommend this apartment? Absolutely!

- Robert, February 2022

Thank you so much for the lovely review. Both the pubs in the precinct tend to cater for local trade and can be lively on a Friday night. I prefer, as you suggest, the short walk to Babbacombe Downs where there's a better selection of venues. There is an independent shop called the "Happy Apple" at the top of the precinct which is my favourite as it sells spices & hard to find ingredients. Having lived in the apartment below, I didn't need to use my car as everything is in walking distance and the buses can take you everywhere and its cheaper than parking. Once again many thanks and I hope we see you again soon. Neil & Max Property Owner
Simon February 2022

“Chapelstones is a lovely, well equipped, comfortable and spacious apartment.”

Parking is off road and right by the entrance. We found the location perfect for exploring the local beaches, shops and model village and a base for further exploring. Maxine and Neil are extremely helpful and responded to our questions very quickly. Definitely recommend a stay here

- Simon, February 2022
Richard & Rebecca January 2022

“Please make recycling rubbish clearer and provide a visitors book.”

- Richard & Rebecca, January 2022

Thank you so much for your comments & I'm glad you enjoyed the stay.. Reviews are handled online by Helpful Holidays. Unfortunately, written book reviews cannot be used, so we removed the book. The recycling is shared with 1 Chapelstones below. Sorry this wasn't clear and we'll update the information pack. Kind regards Neil & Maxine Property Owner
Maria January 2022

“We regularly visit Torquay and surrounding areas to visit family.”

This is the best accommodation we have ever stayed in! Although we did not meet the owners they were very responsive by phone and they have literally thought of everything! Internally the apartment is VERY spacious with 2 huge bedrooms containing the most comfortable beds!! There is plenty of room to put up the provided spare beds without feeling cramped! The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of pots/pans/plates/cups/glasses for every occasion. They provided tea and coffee, salt pepper and general cleaning supplies (I know have not always been given since covid). The living area again is very spacious, with comfortable couches and even throws to snuggle down with! Although we are not one for TV and internet when away they were the best I have seen when away if that is your thing. The internet was very fast and streaming services available on the TV (although it is quite a small tele). The Apartment is a great base for exploring. Literally downstairs is the local street with shops, pubs and cafes, still very quiet at night though! There is a sainsburies and coop writhing a 5 min walk. As there are 2 flights of slippery metal stairs to the entrance this may not be the best accommodation for you if you are bad on your feet and need to bring in a pram. We managed perfectly fine with 3 small children though! Definitely recommend and hoping to return ourselves!

- Maria, January 2022
Lorna October 2021

“Great location, very comfortable apartment has everything you need.”

Would recommend and we will definitely be back.

Rosemarie September 2021

“We were honoured to be the very first guests at this beautiful, spotless and very spacious apartment.”

Everything had been thought of, from a spanking new all singing/dancing coffee machine to pen and notepad, to rubber gloves. Excellent tea, coffee and shortbread biscuits welcomed us, as did Max who was delightful. She and Neil were in touch during our stay to ensure all was going smoothly – which it was. The apartment is right by the pedestrian precinct in St Marychurch which has a fishmonger, butcher, coffee shops and restaurants – plenty of choice for cooking at home or a picnic. The information pack gives helpful information on places to visit and eat. We loved walking to stunning Babbacome Downs and our favourite eatery was Babbacombe Bay Café, particularly their cream tea. If you’re visiting during the summer it’s advisable to book ahead for attractions as we missed out on a few including the caves which were booked up, and only got into Compton Castle (recommended) on a cancellation. We spent one of our two sunny days at Broadsands Beach which has a great café run with pride, and the other day on the glorious, if incongruously-named Blackpool Sands near Dartmouth which has plenty of parking and cleaner water. We highly recommend this lovely apartment which has no negatives: even the noise from the pub opposite could be shut out easily by closing the windows. Many thanks to Max and Neil for a really wonderful stay.
