Compass Quay Coastal Holidays Ltd  Reviews 

A perfect weekend at 3 Avonside, Bantham. Thank you. Three generations of the family all catered for and happy. The view of the estuary and Burgh Island were magical from the rear bedroom and garden. We enjoyed watching the picturesque scenery and wildlife (herons, egrets, birds of prey and even pheasants, who wandered in the garden). For the older generation everything was walkable, Bantham Stores (a minute walk away), a meal at the Sloop, and of course the beach. Our middle-agers went for runs (local parkrun) and long walks (up the estuary), and our youngsters enjoyed paddling and the house wifi. We went out of season (November) and there was a warmth to the house, all made possible by Compass Quay's care. As we arrived after dark, extra care had been taken to heat the house and leave lights on so it was a welcoming environment. Communication was excellent with CQCH and we would recommend them highly.

Friendly, quickly available, house in a very good standard of cleanliness.

Great property & location but the kitchen could benefit from varlous additional items such as a set of small knives & forks, vegetable/salad collinder & the bathroom needs a non-slip shower mat.
We plan to return in 2026.

Love staying in Bantham and Bonnie couldn’t be more helpful.
We always go to Compass Quay first if we are coming down to Devon!

We had a great stay at the Coach House in Bantham. It was a really lovely place with a peaceful surrounding. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. We originally booked a week Saturday to Saturday but had to come Sunday instead and we were kindly allowed to stay until the Sunday. I can’t fault this place at all. Compass quay holidays have been helpful. I’d definitely want to come back here again in the future.

The rental space we had was in a stunning location, and suited our needs and budget perfectly.

The quality of service throughout our stay, the personal welcome, attention to detail and their speed of response over a simple (very minor) matter underscored the professionalism of Compass Quay Coastal Holidays.

The courtesy, attentiveness and quality control of the whole team is a testament to them, and explains why they have such a beautiful selection of rentals in the area where we stayed in Bantham, and also the respect and loyalty they have from bother their clients, their whole team and the wider community.

I wish all holiday companies and rental firms could observe and replicate such prioritising of the customer, and respect for their team.

We are returning next year, due to the location, convenience of our rental, and also due to the clear pride CQCH show in their work.

Thank you so much to the whole team

We booked a last minute week away at 9 The Downs in Thurlestone and the company were very good to deal with. Bonnie rang a few days before we left to check we had received all the necessary information and she rang again a couple of hours before we could enter the property to say we could go in early as it was ready. The property was clean on arrival and had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The location is perfect for the coast with spectacular views. The beds were comfy but could do with updating some of the furniture as it's looking a little tired. The only thing I would say is you have to climb into the bath to use the shower and if you struggle with mobility you might find this difficult as sliding doors are either side. Having said this, the shower had power and was very good. We did notice the master bedroom had developed some mould on the walls and the carpet feels slightly damp in places, something that needs to be addressed. The property is a short walk into Thurlestone bringing you right outside the village pub!

Another great week at 3 Avonside - thank you !
The garden view and evening sunset are priceless ( which is just as well given the high season price !)
Property does need some tlc but has an old fashioned family beach cottage feel that we like .
Needs to be fully occupied to be cost effective .

well what can i say from start to finish the service we received was amazing very easy team to deal with the first time dealing with compass quey the house we stayed in was to a very high standard and every thing you would need. we stayed in the couch house hope cove we will definitely use compass quey again

We stayed for 2 weeks in the Treetops lodge, which was tucked away in a peaceful valley, a short distance (2miles) from Batham Beach. It was well-equipped enough for our stay. Bonnie and her team were very responsive to our requests, and will certainly consider using Compass Quay again

We’ve stayed at The Moorings many times now and always have a wonderful time. Everyone at Compass Quay is friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We’ve stayed at other houses with other companies (probably because The Moorings was fully booked!!) but this is always our favourite.

We had a lovely 4 nights stay at Badger's Den, Buckland Park. The cabin was very well equipped and clean and the location was perfect. Close to some beautiful beaches and coast, towns and villages.
Buckland Park itself is wonderfully quiet with lots of wildlife.

Back from another wonderful trip at the Moorings. Really rate these guys, cant do enough for you and love the personal touch they always apply - not often you get that these days. In my last review I gave special mention to Bonnie, but neglected to give a mention to Nicky too, who is also, always brilliant to deal with. Keep up the great work

What a great stay at 3 Linkside, an incredibly spacious ground floor flat , with the most spectacular views . It’s definitely retro from the kitchen tiles and cupboards to the bathroom suites ! We loved it and its quirkiness. Maybe some outside furniture to sit out and enjoy an evening drink watching the sun go down. However they had provided fold out chairs, so it had been thought of. We will 100% be back . Dog friendly too.

We have found Compass Quay the best holiday company we have used. They are always polite and go out of their way to ensure your stay is a memorable one.

Another fabulous week at the Moorings in Hope Cove. Accommodation was beautifully cleaned before our arrival and had everything needed for a brilliant stay.

The Downs- great location and accommodation which was really well equipped. Situated in a quiet picturesque spot, perfect for coastal walking, beaches and golf.
Thank you to the team at Compass Quay Coastal Holidays, we had a fabulous time!

Willows Lodge, Buckland Park, Bantham. We stayed for two weeks in this lovely two bed roomed lodge. Very comfortable for a couple and two children or like us three adults. The lodge is well equipped with bedding, towels, tea towels, oven glove, washing up liquid, tea, coffee, sugar, cleaning supplies etc. it has a washing machine which was very handy. The enclosed garden and veranda were well used by my mum and the two dogs. My bird watcher dad enjoyed the bird box and feeders. The drive down from the main Bantham beach road is quite steep and a single track. The road in front of the lodges is also single track so you need to be confident with reversing. The lodge it’s self has a parking spot and turning space, we had two cars but I would suggest this lodge is best fit one car only. You do need to drive if you want to go anywhere but this lodge is in a good location for beaches, pubs and shopping. If you are brining dogs then please be aware there is no separate dog walking areas other than the garden. The valley the lodge is in is beautiful, super peaceful and lots of wild life and cow and calf watching.

We absolutely loved our stay in Steepfield Studio, such a beautiful location, beautiful views and fully equipped with everything that we needed. The Compass Quay team were very helpful and we cannot wait to stay with them again!

Woodcutters was in a quiet, peaceful rural location in Bantham with pretty views about 2km from coast. The wooden chalet was well eqipped, but a bit tired and rather cramped and really not spacious enough for six people. The third bedroom in the attic was accessed via a steep hazardous staircase. Taking these factors into account we felt the accommodation was overpriced.
