  I’m not sure if you have changed cleaners since our last visit but the cleanliness has dropped significantly.

  The outside terrace is very dirty, it’s not been swept in months and desperately needs painting. The glass balustrade was so dirty you could barely see through it. I understand it’s a costal terrace and will get dirty quickly but all the other terraces along the row were much cleaner. Toilet seats are rickety and stained underneath. The new oven / cooker is great but the general condition of the kitchen is poor. Drawers don’t close properly / a cupboard door is hanging off. If anything there’s a little too many items, when you open the pan cupboard everything literally falls out and you can barely find anything. Bathrooms were not clean on arrival, we had to wipe over all services which were dusty. Towels provided are of poor quality, bath towels were too small so we had to use the beach towels instead. Not ideal. It’s such a shame really as our previous stay was wonderful, but these small details really have impacted our break away. We all feel the apartment just needs a little TLC, a lick of paint and some love to bring it back to its former glory. On a positive note the welcome pack was very much appreciated and the beds were really comfy with nice clean bedding.

  We enjoyed a wonderful week.

  The apartment was all we could have wished for, and the terrace and view made for a real treat of a holiday. The owner couldn’t have been kinder, sending information for our arrival and also treating us to the most wonderful cream tea from the leisure club. He also called us not long after we arrived to check we were happy with everything, which we certainly were…..such a gorgeous apartment, it felt like we were on holiday the moment we stepped inside and looked out at the view. The apartment is light and spacious and very well stocked with all the kitchen equipment one could need plus a good stack of books, CDs and DVDs although we didn’t turn the tv on at all….so much else to do…and watching the tide come in and out was mesmerising. A great place to stay, and our dog was very happy too with beach walks on tap and lots of activity straight from the apartment. Burgh island, the sea tractor, the pub…..all really good entertainment. No need to travel further. Thank you John, we loved your attention to detail and it made for a really good holiday.

  Fabulous location, spacious apartment, fabulous size balcony with amazing views.

  Parking easy and secure. However…… We were disappointed in cleanliness of bathrooms, kitchen and balcony. Most concerned about broken and dangerous floor tiles on either side of bathroom door threshold. Kitchen tired with plinths and oven trim falling off. Previous reviews have commented on the abundance of kitchen equipment which obviously has not been addressed, for example, 4 can openers, none of which worked. ( we bumped into the cleaner when exiting the property who commented on the note we had left with the can openers, stating that “they all worked last week”, which implied that all equipment is individually checked at the end of each rental). Listing states for 6 guests, however, although lots of crockery, no matching sets whatsoever, not even a set of 2 matching. A plethora of Information has been provided in the form of numerous ring binders and box files but majority is many years out of date. Again this has been commented on in previous reviews but not addressed.

  We returned this year to Appt.

  5 because we loved our stay there around this time last year. The accommodation is excellent, very comfortable and well equipped - but most of all the setting with that exceptional and stunning view over the bay to Burgh Island is beyond amazing! I love the large terrace and this year the weather has been incredible like the Med! BUT… Unfortunately, our holiday turned into a disaster as my partner was blue-lighted to hospital in Plymouth on Tuesday night with a near-fatal ruptured appendix! And subsequently rushed into surgery with 5-keyholes to remove the grumbling appendix. He’s okay now, thank God, and after a 9-hour drive we’re home and he’s recuperating in bed. Needless to say, it was the holiday from hell solely for this disastrous reason! I highly recommend Appt.5 it has everything for the perfect holiday in this beautiful location - we hope to return one day despite this trip being ruined by an unforeseen health emergency.

  This was my 5th visit to number 5 and the first since the pandemic.

  As always from walking in until leaving it was a holiday that was comfortable, relaxing and everything needed to recoup. The apartment has such a wonderful vista and on the Sunday we experienced an amazing storm, my favourite time to be by the sea. There are a couple of things in the apartment that need attention. The fridge freezer isn’t very clean and the freezer is quite iced up. The electric socket closet to the patio door left hand side blew when I plugged in my laptop. The apartment wasn’t as clean as it used to be and the cupboards in the kitchen needed tidying before I could find equipment that I needed (I always cook). Please note these are not complaints merely observations, in my opinion the cleaning is not as good as it used to be but it is still one of my favourite self catering holiday apartments and destination.
