“Wanted a quiet break with my wife, the mother in-law (I know) and our dogs.”

I couldn't believe hove big the house was, The dogs loved the garden and the walks to the dog friendly beach which was so close. Beautiful views across the wild life sanctuary and across the beach and waking up to see little rabbits and pheasants in the garden made a nice change to city life. Thank you for a great holiday. Would 100% stay there again

“The cooker as we expected from the reviews needs renewing.”

We coped with that problem. The ‘jammed back door we overcame with a little thought. The main concern was the heating in the living room and main bedroom where the radiators didn’t appear to work. Other areas the radiators were working. (Weather a little colder this week could have done with more heat) The shower was excellent. Slight smell from drains outside but a man did pop in to deal with it. Garden furniture needs cleaning. We had a great time and with some minor changes, this cottage would be perfect. This I hope is constructive comments and in no way am I trying to give you any damaging comments. I would recommend it to my friends and I would come back again. Pat Feel free to publish my comments but I don’t want the owners to feel they have been slated!

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at Primrose Cottage, We apologise that you encountered issues with the heating and drainage during your stay, thank you for letting us know to send out our Maintenance team to rectify these issues. We have advised the cleaner to ensure the outside furniture is maintained and cleaned on every change over. The owner will be gradually improving the kitchen and cooking facilities in the near future, and we look forward to you recommending Primrose Cottage to your friends and family. Owner relations

“Very good location and house.”

Kitchen and cooking facilities not good - cooker not very good, old fashioned and difficult to use.

Thank you for your feedback in respect of your stay at Primrose Cottage. We were delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable stay and particularly liked the location of this comfortable family house, just a short walk from the beach at Thurlestone Sands. We have noted your comments in respect of the kitchen and cooking facilities. The owner is gradually improving the property and has already replaced carpets, windows, decorated etc. There are plans to replace the kitchen but not at this stage. We thank you again for your review and hope to welcome you back to Thurlestone very soon. Owner relations
“Wonderful house, beautifully decorated and furnished, in a glorious position.”

Equipped with everything one could possibly need. The owners have obviously given a lot of thought to ensuring a very comfortable stay. As a party of 3 adults and 4 teenagers, it was spacious enough to never feel crowded, and we had a brilliant week. Would certainly return for another holiday.

We were so pleased to hear you enjoyed a wonderful stay at Primrose Cottage in Thurlestone. It is fantastic that this lovely holiday home suited you so well and it was the perfect base for your family to enjoy their time in the South Hams. We were also delighted to hear that you would like to return to Primrose Cottage for another holiday - our re-book procedure entitles our guests to potentially reserve the same holiday dates/period for next year. Please contact us, within 2 weeks of your departure date and we'd be happy to help you plan your next stay at Primrose Cottage! Look forward to welcoming you back soon! Owner relations
“Primrose Cottage is an oasis of calm in a changing world.”

Every year it wraps it's walls around us and we leave rejuvenated. It cossets the Grannies, galvanises the Grand children, calms the Grandpa's and relaxes the parents. Phew, job done!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! It was really pleasing to hear that you had yet another enjoyable holiday at Primrose Cottage : "an oasis of calm in a changing world" - never a truer word spoken! It is fantastic that this comfortable property, so close to the wonderful Thurlestone Sands beach, suits the needs of all your family group - from grand parents through to grand children, we can quite see why you love to return year after year. We look forward to welcoming you all back to Primrose Cottage for more rest and relaxation very soon.

“Rubbish bin left unemptied and smelt dreadful”

Many thanks for your feedback and for rating your return stay at Primrose Cottage with four stars. We were sorry to hear that the rubbish bin was not emptied; it would appear that this was due to a late Bank Holiday collection. We are pleased to advise that rubbish collections are now back to normal until the next Bank Holiday at the end of May. Owner relations

“Wonderful cottage, with views that will remain in my thoughts for a long time.”

Thank you!

It was lovely to receive your fantastic image of the sunset over Thurlestone Rock at Thurlestone Sands - thank you! We were so pleased to hear that you had an amazing time. Thank you, once again, for taking the time to send us your review. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Owner relations
“Primrose cottage is a beautiful place.”

Ideal location. Peaceful. Great for a family holiday including grandparents. The new curtains are a welcome addition to previous visit here. WiFi good addition. New TV is nice as we could watch catch up on the Olympics. Garden was maintained well. Inside freezer was a good addition. I would like to point out some areas to improve the property. We had a fantastic holiday, but these need to be looked at to maintain the standards of the place: For the price paid, towels shoild be provided. It is bery common practice for this in properties. Kitchen cooker needs updating - doesn't cook efficiently and the labels have come off the dials so no idea what each dial does. Dish washer doesn't work properly. The tablet was not used after the cycle has run. The drain outside (leading from the kitchen sink) was blocked on arrival and looked like it had been for a while (living things swimming in the water). This is the same problem we had last time we stayed 2 years ago. Obviously a problem with drains as maintenance man said he was unblocking drains here 3-4 weeks prior. I must say though, the maintenance company came out quickly and sorted problem. The back door needs replacing. It is very difficult to open and starting to corrode. The door to the utility needs maintenance as very difficult to open. The easy to reach things were clean (I.e. Carpets, kitchen top), but the house needs a thorough clean, particularly on shelves and higher up places. Very dusty and dirty. The washing machine needs cleaning out. Drum dirty and left clothes smelling like not been washed. Drawer where the powder etc goes was very dirty. The upstairs toilet seat needs replacing urgently. The wood is erroding and flaking away underneath. Upstairs bathroom needs a shower or at least a hose extension from the taps. In the double bed room upstairs, there is a small cupboard next to the bed leading to the eaves of the property. At night, the door and something inside the eaves will rattle in the wind. I had to block the door to stop it rattling, but still something inside the eaves rattles keeping me awake. Unsure what it could be, loose tiles outside?? I had the same problem 2 years ago on a previous stay.

We do hope to welcome you back to this beautiful part of South Devon very soon. The Team at Coast & Country Cottages Owner relations
“Excellent location and views.”

Needs to advertise the children's toys available as we didn't need to use ours at all. Decor needs updating/some TLC.
“Excellent”
“So well equipped,cosy and fabulous view.”

I do wish the garden was a bit more secure for the children though. Also in the past two visits I have needed to wash all the under-blankets. I left a note to that effect to the cleaner, not something I would mention in the visitor book obviously!
