Excellent accommodation in perfect location

First visit to Branscombe and the property was perfect for our mini break, very clean and had everything we needed. Location is perfect for the beach (just a short 5-10min) walk and for the coastal path. We would definately return.

Wish we could stay longer!

A short stay but we wish it could have been longer! The apartment is cozy and comfortable, easy parking and conveniently located across the street from the Masons Arms Inn where we had the best meals we’ve had in a long time. We had a beautiful walk down to the beach at Branscombe and a longer hike to the nearby town of Beer. Five stars all around!

Charming village

Revisited Branscombe after 31 years. Still a beautiful little village. The apartment met our expectations. The location was great. Close to paths, the pub and a short walk to the beach. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Clean, quiet flat with lots to do in surrounding area

The property was clean, quiet and had everything we needed for a lovely stay. There are lots of things to do in the local area, such as Beer Pecorama, the Donkey Sanctuary Sidmouth, Seaton Tramway and Beer Quarry Caves We also visited both Branscombe and Beer beaches, as well as walking sections of the South West coast path. We had a great week and were very sorry to leave!

Property is clean and comfortable. Pity there is no outdoor space. This isn't made clear before booking. Photos are confusing. Most are of the village and show patio area that doesn't belong to the property

Nestlecombe appartment

Appartment had everything we needed. Location was fantastic, lovely short walk to the Beach en beautyful Environment overall. Nice to have the pub/ restaurant around the corner. No mobile network, but perfect wifi (once we found the right code) Some of the rental info needs updating: wifi-code has changed, and there is no incoming phoneline for emergency calls.

Charming Branscombe flat

I am an American Morris Musician who was performing at a folk festival in Sidmouth, only a short ride from Branscombe. I was looking for something a little off the beaten path. I was only sorry that I didn't have more time to explore the quiet and quaint town, including the very lovely-looking pub that was just a short walk from my door. Jean provided me with everything I needed in the flat for cooking and even tons of entertainment options which I didn't get to use. The place was spotless and very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again!

2/10 Terrible

Poor

The apartment is very poorly decorated and rather dark. Bare wires in kitchen and bathroom needs a refurb. Lounge sofa springs reach the floor and clearly never moved by cleaner. Bed sags in middle quite a lot. Heaters largely not functioning so was quite cold at times.towel rail not working. 2 lights had blown. Walls must be paper thin as could hear conversations outside. Dingy place.village is nice.

I am sorry that the guests had such a poor experience of our holiday accommodation. In 8 years of holiday letting this is the first time we have had such a poor review. Most guests use words such as 'a cosy getaway', 'a hidden gem', 'great little flat', 'ideal flat in a perfect location'. Many describe having had a wonderful stay and have been returning for a number of years. It is true that a problem with one heater and the towel rail developed, which we learnt of towards the end of our guest's stay. We immediately sent our caretaker round to check that the flat was warm enough using the rest of the heating and the guests confirmed they were fine with this over the telephone. Both problems and the lights have been dealt with as soon as an electrician was available. We aim to create a welcoming, well furnished and well equipped flat where customers can have a relaxing holiday at a reasonable and fair price. Every other review we have received has confirmed this. Once again I am very sorry the customers did not enjoy their stay..

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy

Disappointing

The first thing we noticed was that the flat was cold and damp as all the heaters were turned off, we did manage to warm up and dry it out but it took a while. Second was that the crockery, cutlery, pots and pans were all dirty so we had to wash everything we wanted to use before using it. Thirdly, the landline for incoming calls that was supposed to be available was no where to be seen although the screws to mount it on the wall were there. Finally and of greatest concern was the smoke alarm, someone had removed the battery and put it on top of the door frame but we had no way of putting it back in as we both have mobility issues so couldn't climb on a chair. All in all it was an uncomfortable week, the flat needs several repairs doing and a good clean at a minimum but would benefit massively if it were updated. As it was I had to oil the door locks to prevent us from being locked out/in. I'm happy to provide a detailed list of the things that need attention to the property manager if it helps.

Dear Clare, I'm really sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at the apartment in Branscombe and I must admit I was surprised because we usually receive really good reviews, especially as the apartment is so economically priced in such a beautiful area of Devon. We do try to keep it nice for guests but unfortunately the caretaker hadn't put the heating on for you as it had been really warm that week. That was a mistake, which I am very sorry for. She has also said she will take extra care over the kitchenware and the fire alarm battery which a previous customer must have removed. Thank you for your comments. I do hope you still enjoyed visiting the area around Branscombe. Kind regards Jean

Good Location for visiting this part of Devon and Dorset.

This property met all our requirements the only thing it lacked was outdoor space but the pub is just over the road with a nice outdoor area and we were a short walk from the beach.

Late break in Branscombe

The property was clean and tidy, it had everything that we required. Wi Fi was good but number of tv channels poor ! not the owners fault.Plenty of information availlable and books and games for children, not needed by 2 pensioners. Village lovely but surrounding lanes very narrow. Avoided the infamouse car park at Branscombe beach.
