“The cottage was lovely & well presented when we arrived.”
Great location if not a little hilly but close to the harbour which was excellent.
Nice little touches for our dog.
A few board games we made use of on our first night as it was very wet out.
However, description of cottage doesn’t mention shared outdoor space. This is access for an apartment. Could do with knowing this before booking. Outdoor space hasn’t been used by anyone for a long time! Was quite hot when we were there would have been nice to sit out but covered by trees and cobwebs. No blinds at that rear door so people passing through can see in! Make sure you’re dressed!
Only one pan to cook up a ‘culinary delight’ as advertised. Not many utensils but we weren’t that bothered as we ate out every night.
The sofa could do with being replaced. Very flat and old and very uncomfortable.
No mention of the parking being at the bottom of a dark driveway. Only one security light stayed on for seconds. Not enough to get up the hill to the house. The photo in the advert shows parking bays at the front door. These seem to be for the owners only. Misleading.
We had an issue with neighbours one night which was very scary, shouting in the street then in the premises.
Torquay itself, we had a great week away.
Thank you for the helpful feedback - I am sorry that you were disappointed in the outside space. The trees (overhanging from our neighbour's property) can be gloomy in bad weather, but a blessing when you need the shade! It is a small courtyard but it is cleaned every Friday, and a number of guests have appreciated having their own barbecue. We will amend the write up to make clear that the front of the house is for loading/unloading only, parking is on the lower drive. The kitchen is full equipped with saucepans, frying pans, baking trays etc. If any guest has trouble finding the saucepans or any other equipment -please call the phone numbers we leave in the property and we will point you to the right cupboard. We will ensure all other issues reported are assessed on the changeover.
