    “We arrived to find the property in a very poor state of cleanliness- dirt all over the floors, dust and crumbs, human hair on the surfaces.”

    Stains and hair n the bath, in the fridge! No toilet roll in the bathroom so we had to go to the nearest open supermarket a 20 minute drive away to buy toilet roll and cleaning products. In the corners of the rooms were cobwebs, dust and food residue on the kitchen work surface. It was not acceptable at all. The cleavers had evidently only changed the beds and left towels. I tried to call the next morning, Sunday 2nd August but could not get through to a human and was directed to your WhatsApp ...

I tried to call the next morning, Sunday 2nd August but could not get through to a human and was directed to your WhatsApp group messaging service and left a complaint. Noone responded so I called your offices again and spoke to someone in your booking team who tried to contact the owners Witt me on hold but could not get through. I was then cut off. I sent another message on your WhatsApp group but to date no one has come back to me - until today when you informed me you are deducting £90 for damages to a duvet in the twin bedroom that we didn’t use (we are a couple and slept in the double room)! When we tried to do our own clean of the filthy floor found the hoover did not work - this was reported to you, please check your records. I am raising a formal complaint for the unacceptable state this property was left in for our arrival and am challenging this ridiculous claim from you for damages. I am a travel agent myself and expect a far better service and standard than this.

About the location

HOPE COVE

Salcombe 4.6 miles; Kingsbridge 5.1 miles

The picturesque and unspoiled village of Hope Cove lies in the sheltered curve of Bigbury Bay on Devon’s south coast. A choice destination for families, the two beaches offering soft sand and rock pools for sandcastle building and fishing for small crabs. The town remains a fishing village where crabs and lobsters are still landed, however it was once used by smugglers. Many ships have perished around the coast and the wrecks that lie beneath the waves make it a popular spot for divers. Above the beach there are a number of pubs and restaurants. The coastal footpath can be joined from here and leads towards Bigbury-on-sea in one direction and the coastal resort of Salcombe in the other.

Two small well behaved dogs are permitted.

Strictly No Smoking
