  This is a very well equipped modern house with excellent facilities.

  It seems almost like a show home when you enter it for the first time. The position is also good, on a very quiet part of a new build development just outside Paignton. Although a little way out from the town centre, it's ideally placed to explore a number of other popular venues in South Devon. The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and there is a choice of 5-6 supermarkets within reasonable walking distance! Unfortunately there were a few practical issues with the house which became apparent - - the tumble drier didn't work. This was a problem for a family of four with washing to do and only an airer available for drying. We ended up taking the washing to a launderette to get it dry. We reported the problem early in our stay but unfortunately it wasn't fixed during the two weeks we were there. - The long flush on one of the loos didn't work - The gutter at the front of the property had a leak and dripped onto the porch, and this could be heard in the bedrooms at night - The grass was very long and had some very large weeds growing in it suggesting it had not been cut for some time. We did some weeding while we were there! It was also noticeable that the block paving outside had a lot of weed growth, rather giving the impression of neglect when you first arrive. None of these points should put someone off staying, as it is a lovely and comfortable house with excellent facilities. But a little more attention clearly needs to be given to maintaining the property to make it even better.

  Fantastic modern property, a short drive from Brixham, Paignton, Torquay and Dartmouth.

  Across the road from supermarket and pub which is also handy. The house is generally modern in style with lots of lovely touches like a bar area, well equipped games room, utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer (although we couldn’t get the tumble dryer to work as there was a fault error) and underfloor heating. The garden is also small but has furniture to utilise in the warmer months. The main bedroom has the open plan walk in bathroom so not for everyone but fine for us. Lots of storage in here and great views over the surrounding fields. Bed was large and comfortable. The 2nd bedroom has a small en-suite and a bed with a built in tv, very cool! The 3rd bedroom (also a double) has a tv and wardrobe. Bedroom 2 & 3 are lacking bedside lamps which we would have found useful. Bedroom 1 also had no tv which we found odd and also no mirror positioned conveniently for doing hair etc. The living room is spacious but we found the sofa uncomfortable. Otherwise, great open plan living for families or groups alike. We noticed the carpets were heavily stained in some areas which could be cleaned easily with a carpet cleaner I’m guessing. Someone else also commented on the dripping noise when rain falls to the front of the house on the canopies. We also experienced this and it is very irritating! We could not get it to stop and unfortunately it rained for most of our 7 night stay

  We would love to give feed back on the property, as a family of 5 the size of the property was AMAZING!

  !! It was beautiful everything was there for us and was perfect with shops,beach,towns,park ect... So close. Off road parking right outside the house, bathrooms were lush, the bed in the master room was a bit hard for us but everyone has there own preference, would of loved a TV upstairs in that room aswell. And we would love to see a spa outside that would set it off. And we would love to use that property again if them things was added, only due to the price we would be looking for that next time as a added bonus. We have already told family and friends about it and took loads of pictures for memories. We did have a slight problem with the TVs we thought netflixs was already set up but the issue was sorted same day by the owners and we was very happy on how quick it was sorted and we appreciated the help. I would recommend this property to everyone who wants a peaceful time with the family and it's very kids friendly, our children was safe and that's what we wanted on our holiday, garden was all fenced in, child gate at the bottom of the stairs, could of done with another 1 at the top of the stairs, only due to having 2 small children. Instructions was available in a folder very easy to follow and understand, so our next holiday we will have you in mind and I do hope in future we can re visit again. We can only thank you for making our stay comfortable and safe. Many thanks.

  Spectacular modern house designer styled for photographic impact - bathrooms totally impractical - no hooks or rails for towels - single taps have to be full flow to get hot water - sinks too shallow.

  Main bedroom mattress uncomfortable. Downstairs cloakroom tap difficult to pull up for “on”/- water gushes out at full flow. Only 4 hangers between two people in wardrobes. No bedside lights in main bedroom - no socket on one side - wardrobe lights only accessible from remote (should you sleep with it between you)? Lounge sofa too soft and low - other lay back cushions impractical. Kitchen ill equipped for actual cooking - two slice toaster inadequate for 6 guests. Tumble Dryer STILL NOT WORKING despite earlier reports - it switches on and shows a no. 2 setting but no other choices work nor switch “on” - there is no instruction booklet - assume deliberate so you can’t use it anyway!! Garden - fortunately the window cleaner (who had screwed to lock the store after a storm) happened to come when we arrived otherwise we would not have been able to access the cushions or gas bottle. There are NO emergency contact numbers in case of problems. Sykes phone contact gives a long recorded message which cuts off and leaves no facility to speak to anyone or leave a message. The email contact is slow to respond (no doubt because there are so many frustrated contacts from customers. If they phone you they are very rude and have no concept of customer service. Mainly because of this I will never book a Sykes holiday again.

  Had a wonderful stay at White Rock Court.

  The property was very modern, comfortable and spacious. A great base from which to explore the area. Lovely and quiet location being in a cul-de-sac. The children’s playground noise did not bother us at all as it is located to the front of the property, over a hedge and the living area is to the rear of the property. We loved the games room, especially the pool and table tennis. The beach at Goodrington is fabulous and only a five minute car journey away. Very convenient for shops, if you self cater like us. There is a Lidl, Aldi, Asda and Sainsbury’s all located along the main road in. Found lots of places we had not been to before, plenty to do. If I am being super critical there could have been more oven/microwave containers in the kitchen. For the amount of wardrobe space we could have done with more coat hangers. As a couple in our late sixties and early seventies the furniture in the main living area was very low. We got around this by using the two leather armchairs from the bar area. None of these things spoiled our enjoyment though. We had an absolutely fantastic holiday here and looked forward to returning to White Rock Court each day after our adventures. If we return to Devon for future holidays we would have no hesitation in staying here again or recommending it to family and friends.
