Fabulous long reaching views

A really lovely apartment with stunning views towards Thurlestone Sands on one side and Bantham and Burgh Island the other. Spacious yet warm and cosy with everything you might need to have a wonderful stay. The Beach House restaurant nearby with fabulous sea food and also The Sloop for a friendly pub with good crab sandwiches. Perfect for a good holiday.

An absolute gem!

4 Fabulous days in this beautiful spacious apartment. We arrived in the dark and WOW in the morning the panoramas from every window were stunning. Perfect location for SW coastal path and 5 mins stroll to local pub for dinner/drinks and the local shop. Our dog loved the selection of dog friendly beaches we could walk to too. Very well equipped, nothing we needed was not there and the cleanest place we have ever stayed with a lovely ensuite that looked brand new. Thank you sharing your beautiful apartment with us.

Amazing location & views

Firstly, the location and views were amazing. It’s an incredible view from the lounge. The apartment was very well stocked. If you forget to bring anything, there is a probably a supply in one of the cupboards! However, we were disappointed with the cleanliness. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned recently. It was not ‘hotel standards’ which the owner claimed the cleaners aim for. Very dusty in places and the carpet was thick with dog hair, including clumps in places. Some places had clearly not been cleaned at all (on the kitchen floor below the cooker which was very dirty). The apartment looks like it needs some money spent on it too. The main bathroom is in need of modernisation (although the en-suite is clearly newer and more modern) and some of the decor etc feels quite old fashioned. The floor was ‘spongey’ in the hallway and bathroom (rotting sub floor?). There was minor rust within some alliances (eg fridge and dishwasher). We probably wouldn’t have booked had we been aware of some of these things but we would come back if the apartment has some money spent on it because we love the location and views! In the owner’s defence, he was quick to respond and was keen to address our concerns. If these things don’t bother you, then this is a great apartment, in a brilliant spot with stunning views.

We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the location and views and you considered the apartment is well stocked. We are however very upset to hear about your disappointment with the level of cleanliness, which as you note our housekeepers pride themselves on “hotel” high quality (we have passed on your feedback to them). We do welcome well behaved dogs to the flat (being a “doggy heaven” location) and the housekeepers endeavour to enhance their cleaning regime accordingly. It is a shame we were not able to accommodate your tastes in décor …. although the photos on the website show a good representation of the flat having been taken recently. We hope you enjoyed the additional day at the flat which we offered free of charge and the reimbursement of some of the rental charge in acknowledgement of your disappointment.

Well this property delivered beyond our expectations. Such a clean, spacious and tastefully decorated apartment. Beds were so comfortable. But it’s the views that were amazing, short walk to a fantastic pub with great food. Easy walk to the beaches or a very short drive. We will return…loved by the who family!

Lovely flat with amazing views

We really enjoyed our stay at this flat. It is light and airy, with stunning views from every room. It is well set up with all the equipment you might need, plus lots of extras for kids. It is lovely and peaceful, with no noise from the other flats in the house. The grounds are lovely too, with lots of room for kids to play or have a bbq. It is an easy walk to both Thurlestone and Bantham, and there is a footpath directly to the coast path and the beaches. We did lots of surfing at Bantham, and canoeing on the Avon and the Salcombe estuaries, as well as some stunning walks along the coast. If you like peace and quiet, and doing lots of outdoor activities this is a great place to stay. The owner, Chris, is very helpful and responds straight away to any messages. Altogether, we highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Christopher Osborne

Host profile image
My wife and I have been holidaying in Thurlestone for the last 10 years or so. In the last 9 years we have been lucky enough to share this amazing location with our two energetic daughters (and labrador) who all absolutely love visiting the local beaches.

Our flat is great for couples and families with children of all ages. We have accommodated the needs of families by providing a travel cot, high chair, and monitors based on our own experiences of renting holiday homes and have tried to think of everything to make life easier and enjoyable for you!

We hope you enjoy the flat as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The most relaxing location we have ever stayed in! Amazing views and great location. Fantastic for couples and families, golfers, bird watchers, walkers (we are literally on the door step of South West Coast path), surfers, paddleboarders, fisherman, or for those that purely wish to relax and take in the views.

What makes this property unique

Stunning views, quiet location in close proximity to four amazing beaches, village with local pub and great walks. Bantham beach has been voted one of the top 10 beaches in Europe and is described by Lonely Planet as “a true all-rounder, good for surfers, families and walkers.”
