Lovely Chalet with great views very close to all amenities, including access to a woodland walk down to the sea. Beds were comfortable and the amenities in the chalet are of good standard. The inclusion of a selection of DVDs to watch was a nice touch along with loads of local tourists information. We had a very pleasant stay and can happily recommend the Chalet and our host

Thank you for writing a review of your Holiday staying at my Chalet. I’m so pleased you found my Chalet well organised & enjoyed the wonderful view. The Holiday Park is in an area of outstanding natural beauty with steep cliffs at the bottom of the wooded valley so unfortunately this does make the walk through the woods down to the local beach quite steep in parts. I’m so glad you would love to return & I would always welcome you & your family to stay at my Chalet in the future.

Extremely cramped for 4, but nice spot

The chalet was extremely cramped for 4 people, main bedroom was smallest room i have ever stayed in, kitchenette was tiny, as was living area, with really uncomfortable sofas and bed. Lovely views from chalet which couldnt be enjoyed as sofas facing opposite direction, and no space to sit outside the chalet. Good locatìon as although it was a very hilly site, it was just a stroll from the park amenities. Chalet was clean, communicaton from owner was good, all you need is at the chalet, and the site was pleasant but far too cramped for us.

Thank you for reviewing your stay at my Chalet & I am pleased you found you had all you needed there but its disappointing to hear the Chalet was too small for you & your family. It’s regrettable you did not appreciate you could sit outside in the communal garden area next to the adjacent Chalet, as detailed in the ‘About this property’ section on the website, where It also mentions that I provide a portable picnic table and portable picnic chairs for guests use. I’m glad you found the site pleasant with the Chalet in a good position for the Park Amenities.

A good base to explore from

Like another reviewer this was our first time on any sort of holiday park for many years but I agree with them that the chalet was a very suitable accommodation for people who would like a sensibly priced base to explore from (like us) or people who would like to use the park’s facilities and activities. Clean and comfortable with everything we needed, we’re very happy with our choice and would happily book again. Plenty to explore in the region so could easily spend a week or more here. Easy check in and good communication throughout, many thanks.

Great Property and location

Lovely clean property, everything was very tidy and neat. Lots of room to put away our clothes and other accessories and plenty of electric sockets. We felt very safe in there with all the cleaning that had gone on before we arrived and the addition of hand sanitiser to use when we came back after day trips was welcome. The beds and sofas were very comfy and the views across the bay were lovely (once the rain lifted!) All the appliances worked well and it was lovely and warm inside on the days it was wet out. Onsite facilities were great for our family, being close to the park and the swimming pools. Overall we had an excellent stay and we would recommend it as a place for our friends and family to go as well as a future return for us.

Very small bedrooms and very poor shower

Whilst being well equipped and clean, the bedrooms are extremely small with little room to move and for clothes etc. The shower (in a very small cubicle) often did not work at all, presumably due to problems with water pressure as the taps sometimes stopped working. Even when it did work, the shower was very poor. The location is good with good facilities on the site for children and wifi in the chalet was a bonus, albeit it was quite slow.

Thank you for your review & I am pleased you found the Chalet well equipped, clean & in a good location on the Site. It is disappointing to hear you did not fully enjoy your stay at my Chalet. The sizes of the bedrooms are compact but this is portrayed well by the photos & the full description on my Website. Along with wardrobes & overhead cupboards there are additional under bed storage boxes for non hanging items. I am sorry this was not sufficient for your needs. The Shower cubicle is a ‘Standard‘ size. Also it does not have a sliding door that can sometimes restrict access but with a door that opens fully so I am surprised that you state it was very small. I ask all guests to report any issues to me during their stay in order that I can try to resolve them as soon as possible. Unfortunately you did not contact me therefore I was unable to ask the Holiday Park (responsible for the water pressure) Manager to investigate the problem. Also I was unable to ensure the shower controls had been set correctly. I am pleased you enjoyed the new addition of Wi-fi in my Chalet & found the facilities for the Children on the Holiday Park good.

In a heart beat!

When I started planning my trip I put Bideford into my itinerary because we were going to visit a friend for a day, maybe two. I saw Felicity's listing and it looked appealing, so I looked into what else was around there that I might want to see. Devon county and the town of Bideford offered lots of things of interest. I then contacted the friends that live there to ask about the property and it's convenience for the venture. They thought that it would be good for our intentions. It was perfect. The compound's facilities and staff were all pleasant. Felicity went above and beyond what I expected as a host. I was kind of needy and a bit ignorant to how appliances and things worked in the UK, I'm American and hadn't traveled in years. Her replies to my texts were prompt, her suggestions for places to visit were on the nose, and she quickly solved all the issues that I encountered. The only advise that I need to share is that you are in a very rural area, so cell service and Wi-Fi were intermittent and weak. But, that said. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.
