Miss Murray
October 2020

“This house certainly exceeded my expectations in so many ways It was so comfortable and everything we needed was there, I was really impressed.”

One point which let the house down was the amount of cobwebs and spiders! I did feel these could have been dealt with by the cleaners. Also the ensuite bathroom in the main bedroom wasn't particularly clean, the shower had black mould around the door and the room did smell of damp.

“Disappointed .”

I realise with the current climate that you as a company are making a lot of money as is the owner! Cleanliness was a top priority as you stated in your Email . We visited this property last year, the cleanliness was very poor this year. Shower outlet disgusting, cupboard of bread products rotting and cracked glasses. I was asked by coast and country to provide photographic evidence which I did and heard nothing back. The house is so hot we complained about this last year and various others have complained but you still not able to turn The heating down..... it must cost the owners a fortune! It means that germs are breeding and it was extremely uncomfortable for everyone which meant none of us slept properly for a week. It is a beautiful property in a wonderful area. We also are just converting a barn for holiday letting purposes which I will properly manage myself as there just was not the attention to detail.

Unfortunately we didn't receive a response from you. Any issues should be reported to us as soon as possible ideally by telephone however where this is not possible please email us at info@coastandcountry.co.uk We also do have 24 hour out of hours lines for emergencies or issues including what you experienced with the heating as we would have been able to organise an engineer to resolve any problems.

“The cottage was absolutely outstanding, it was spotlessly clean and incredibly well equipped, the location is spectacular regardless of what the weather is doing.”

“Magic”

Nothing to say because I am concerned that this divine place will never be free again soon. But do not go there if you wish to walk to pubs and shops. Go there if you are entitled to spend time in a beautiful place. (And if you worry for shops, Waitrose will deliver straight to your door). Magnificient cottage.

“Such a beautiful home with stunning views.”

Our Christmas dinner was perfect with no shortage of items needed in the kitchen. The home is very well laid out and the warmth was needed but at night a little too warm! We had dinner at the Church House Inn which was lovely, so definitely going back there ! The only slight issue was that we could not locate the first aid box "in the kitchen" when there was a minor 'chopping board accident' on Christmas day! Perhaps it's there somewhere but instructions just need to be a little more specific! Thank you for a wonderful Christmas retreat.

- Mrs Harte,
“Prachtig huis.”

“This is a stunning holiday cottage.”

It is beautifully furnished and very well equipped. A great holiday experience. My only negative comment would be that as it caters for families a stairgate would be advisable on the top floor.

- ,

We were delighted to read how much you enjoyed your stay in this beautifully furnished and very well equipped property. Your feedback in respect of the stairgate has been passed on to the management team. We do hope you choose to stay again. Owner relations

About the location

HALLSANDS

Start Point 1.5 miles; Beesands 3 miles; East Portlemouth 5.5 miles; Kingsbridge 8 miles.

Hallsands is a small village near Start Point, one of the most southerly points on Devon’s coastline, near Salcombe in the beautiful South Hams area. The sheltered South Hams Peninsula is in 'deepest Devon', a pastoral landscape of flowering hedgerows and ancient sunken lanes, carved into by the richly wooded Avon and Dart Valleys. This quiet fishing village, with its dog-friendly, unspoilt beach, is situated next to the historic ‘old village’ of South Hallsands, just three miles from the popular Beesands Beach which has its own gastro pub and shop. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is decorated with white, pink and ochre thatched cottages, picturesque fishing ports such as Dartmouth, and is renowned for its stunning coastline, popular with yachting enthusiasts. Much of the clifftop land has been acquired by the National Trust, a haven for bird watchers and walkers who take advantage of the South West Coast Path, peppered with perfect picnic spots. Nearby, uncover the beauty of Blackpool Sands and Torcross, a historic site where the Normandy landings were practiced; explore the nature reserve at Slapton Ley, and stroll along Slapton Beach, feeling the soft sand between your toes. Park at East Portlemouth and catch the ferry across to the beautiful seaside town of Salcombe with its renowned estuary, or visit the Start Point Lighthouse, less than a mile away. Hallsands is a wonderful base for uncovering the unspoilt beauty of Devon and the South Hams, all year round.

Please note that the South West Coast Path runs in front and to the side of the cottage.

Due to the proximity of the cottage to the beach and coast path, young children must be supervised at all times.

Mobile coverage is variable and not available on some networks.

Up to two well behaved dogs permitted. (dependent on breed)

Hallsands is accessed from the main road via a single track (with passing places) Devon lane.
