“Mattresses/beds need replacing, not just putting a piece of foam on top, all this does is make you sweat and there is no support.”

If you sat on the edge you went down to the frame. The downstairs bedroom also had the noise of the oil fired boiler waking you up very early in the morning, which on holiday you don't want. BBQ had seen better days and needed replacing. All that said the house was in a lovely position close to the beach which was used a lot with two little ones. The coastal path was also very close if you like walking.

“Positives: so close to the beach, en-suite bathrooms to all double rooms, lovely big table to eat at, amazing views, lots of beach ‘stuff’ already at the property eg inflatable boat, kite, crabbing stuff, buckets & spades.”

Great tree for tree climbing in the garden. Comfy beds. Lovely log burner in the lounge. Negatives: truly terrible internet - the owners have clearly gone for the absolute cheapest option! You can’t watch Netflix or play games that require internet. WiFi calling wouldn’t work. It was like dial-up from the 90’s! The lanes - OMG truly terrifying lanes to get there. If you’re a nervy driver this place is definitely NOT for you! Clutter in the kitchen - as other reviewers have said the owners seem to have dumped all of their junk in the kitchen - including what seemed to be a 1970’s blender! The cold tap in one bathroom wasn’t working, the downstairs shower leaked under the door and into the utility, the pressure of the shower in the green bedroom was awful and you must maintain the hot tub chemicals yourself.

Thank you for taking the time to leave comments about your recent stay at Thornbrook. We are so pleased that you listed so many positive points about the property. With regards to the negatives. Unfortunately due to the location of the property there are limited options available, and the owner has broadband through the best available provider, but we do appreciate that it can have slow download speeds. It is disappointing that you did not contact us during your stay as we could have easily rectified the plumbing issues, and assisted with the hot tub maintenance. We do understand that the narrow Devon lanes in this unspoilt area can be a challenge to those not used to them! We hope despite this you had a lovely time near the beach, and hope we can welcome you back to the area again soon. Owner relations

“Our 4th visit to this property.”

We love the position, so peaceful and stunning views. The addition of the hot tub this year was a real bonus.
