What guests are saying
Large comfortable house with plenty of space and bedrooms.
Clean bedding and towels were supplied. Secure well kept gardens for pets and ideally situated to walk into Kingsbridge. 5 minutes from the ferry and bus stops. The house had a relaxed feel and we enjoyed our stay there. House was basically clean, but could have been better and there were no ceiling lights in the older part of the house. Lots of lamps but some did not work. There could have been more information about the aga range and where items were such as the freezer was. Just seemed the house needed a little tlc to really make it shine.
The property suited our needs well and was in a pleasant location overlooking the water.
There were a few areas that weren't totally clean - a few cobwebs here and there but nothing disastrous! Overall, a good place for us to spend a week with the family.
The property has a great location, lovely gardens, plenty of parking and is well proportioned throughout.
The kitchen is well equipped. Linens, bathrooms and kitchen worktop areas were clean. Unfortunately we broke one mug - apologies for this. However the house is “tired”. Particularly poor is the internal woodwork which needs completely sanding back and repainting by a professional decorator - skirtings, windows, doors, frames and bannisters. The front door is also in a poor state. It also needs deep cleaning. I’m an Airbnb host and am well aware that cleaning teams flash in and out and don’t have time for deep cleaning tasks. The kitchen/utility units and light switches are grubby. Skirtings are grubby. The kitchen floor had not been washed on arrival and was marked and sticky. One attic bedroom had pubic hairs in the bedding and several on the floor by the bed legs. This same room had little bugs in the bed. They were harmless but not nice to see. I sent photos of some of the deep cleaning issues to Skyes but received no reply. Maintenance wise my bedroom door wouldn’t shut at all (too much old thick paint I suspect) and the walls had been partially repainted but not entirely. There was a clear smell of urine when I was sat in bed but I couldn’t locate the source. It seemed to be from the bed area but the mattress looked clean to the eye. It did wear off as the week went on but was really unpleasant and disturbed my sleep. On one evening we returned home to a powerful smell of drains throughout the kitchen living area. It happened only once so we put it down to old sewerage pipes. It’s a lovely property and it’s just a shame it’s in need of investment to bring it up to standard.
