What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a wonderful holiday.

  The apartment was lovely, as usual, and we were very lucky to have fantastic weather which meant we could make the most of the beach and the swimming pool. The new carpets in the bedrooms are very nice and it is convenient to have towels provided now. We did have some issues (some of which others have mentioned too): The washing machine had A LOT of black mould in it. The powder drawer and slot it fits into were covered in mould, as was the seal. It took me a very long time to clean it up before the machine could be used. I realise this is partly due to the flat being unoccupied at times but, perhaps the owners could leave a note to remind people to leave the drawer and door open? The fitted sheet for the double bed was too small and kept coming off. The trays in the oven were all very dirty with bits of food on them -we had to clean them all. The oven gloves were so dirty that I had to soak them before washing them. I realise that some of the issues are due to people not cleaning up after themselves, and that cleaners have limited time, but my general impression is that cleaning is not as good now that Sykes has taken over the company. We have been going to No 7 since 2011 and the standard of cleaning does seem to have deteriorated. We love the apartment, with a few minor tweaks it would be perfect!

  The listing needs updating as the property is not 100% as described and the pictures are out of date.

  Disappointed that like on previous rentals there was no "welcome package" after a 300mile journey the simple things of pint of milk and loaf of bread is such an amazing welcome upon arrival. No visitors book to leave comments about area or local attractions like in other rental properties we have stayed in recently (including during covid). The property has an issue with a drain of some sort on the outside where if it rains a large dripping can be heard from the various bedrooms providing an uncomfortable nights sleep. Except from the above, the property was clean with great facilities and in a great location. On the whole my family enjoyed their stay and if a few issues where resolved then we would gladly visit again but the dripping would need to be resolved.

  The property itself was spacious, comfortable and well stocked with required kitchen appliances etc.

  The view was stunning and the location was a suitable starting off point for our Devon based adventures. Our main frustration with the property was the lack of instructions on how to work the boiler and find the thermostat. This resulted in us spending the first 24 hours rather cold. The thermostat was behind the tv. We also hadn’t found instructions on where to find the switch to turn on the immersion heater. This meant from the 3-5th day we had limited to no hot water. In hindsight, we should have called Sykes customer support sooner as they resolved this second issue for us. We were just surprised that there wasn’t a pack to introduce us to the property. If there had have been, it would probably have enabled us to fix these problems for ourselves.

  Lovely apartment but lacking slightly in the niceties .

  The bedding in all rooms is really old and shabby ! Quilts , pillows and sheets all need replacing . They are grey and old.Such a shame that care hadn’t been taken to make the bedrooms look more inviting. The rug in the main bedroom is also very tatty . On first use of the dishwasher we found a broken glass which could clearly be seen jammed in the filter . We spent quite a while removing shards of glass and cleaning the filter as it was blocked with food . Another thing that was missed was a welcome pack , even a bottle of wine or a few scones would have made the flat seem more welcoming . We usually stay in a downstairs flat so are used to staying there , to be honest I would pick that one over this next time , even though the views are so much better .

  I have already recommended this holiday to my friends.

  We took three generations and everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The apartment was really comfortable. My mother spend many happy hours sitting on the sofa watching people and dogs playing on the beach. My son loved the heated swimming pool and the rock pools and my teenage daughter took lots of relaxing walks along the beach and the beach paths. (Which was just what she needed after taking her GCSEs.) I really enjoyed kayaking. We were able to hire a kayak or paddle board on the beach. We will definitely be going to Thurlestone Rock again and will probably see if we can take a couple of little dogs with us. It really was a dog friendly beach and in the week that we were there all of the dogs were off lead and we didn’t see one fallout.
