Discovery Holiday Homes Reviews 

Compact and well cared for... Staying at the Shaldon beach hut 2 was a unique and fun experience. Space needed managing, and care especially when cooking in the well equipped galley, but that all added to the intimate experience. Sitting outside in the patio area looking across to Teignmouth and out to sea was a delight.

Just back from a fabulous weekend in Beach Hut No2 in Shaldon. The beach hut is very well equipped to a good standard and everything you need is in there. The patio area is spacious with easy access to the beach, also has the added bonus of being next door to the Clipper Cafe.

The house is immaculate, quality furnishings and extra touches. Warm welcome from Karen and James. This was our second visit, would definitely like to return. Shaldon is great for all ages with the beach, cafes and bars all on your doorstep as well as a great many nearby attractions. Fabulous holiday! Thank you again

We stayed here over Easter. What a beautiful property and a stunning location. Can't wait to come back! :)

This was an outstanding property. It was such a pleasure to eat out on the deck enjoying the magnificent views of the coast. The property is well appointed and lacks nothing. The whole experience was of the highest quality and thoroughly enjoyable. Can't wait to return, felt sad to leave.

We stayed for four nights and we really enjoyed the place, the area was nice and the house breathtaking. The owner was soo kind with us and extened our checkout to the afternoon. The house was very clean and tidy.

Housekeepers were very helpful with problems/questions. The beach hut itself is compact (as expected) and generally well equipped in an excellent location. However, the bathroom was poorly designed. Nobody can sit on the toilet comfortably as the hand basin overlaps the WC bowl. You have to sit at an angle of 45 degrees!!

We loved the remoteness of Galmpton boat house. The view from the balcony was magical. There was always something different to see. In side modern and very comfortable. Highly recomend this property.

Enjoyed our short stay at Polly 's Place. From the welcoming bottle of wine to the lovely views over the harbour. Everything was in place to ensure a comfortable stay. Would recommend and will investigate other possible Discovery holiday homes for future breaks.

We have just returned from a fabulous week’s holiday in Torbay, where we had a wonderful stay at the Pink Bungalow. The property is located on a quiet street, is extremely comfortable and furnished to a very high standard throughout. The kitchen is very modern and the dining area benefits from a sunny disposition. The bungalow has gas central heating so it’s warm and comfortable in every room. The location is best suited for those who have their own transport but even if you don’t, both the beach and the local shops are only a short walk away. The bungalow has a lovely garden both at the front and back, with some sloping steps leading up to the property. Whilst these would not be suitable for wheelchair users, my 86-year-old mum with limited mobility had no problem getting up or down. I would recommend the Pink Bungalow to anyone planning a holiday in the Torbay area as it really does have everything you need, and is in a perfect location to explore the English Riviera.

we had a fantastic stay in devon. the accomodation was faultless and it felt like we were staying in a lovely hotel. it was exceptionally well equipped with beautiful furnishings and quality finishes. it was a very good size with everything required for a comfortable stay. the location was perfect, close to everything we needed and quiet enough to get a good rest whilst away. the communication with the team was fantastic and they were really friendly and exceptionally well organised. it was brilliant that there was a keysafe at the property. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to friends and family of all ages due to its versatility. we would definately return in the future.

Can't rate it highly enough,it was that good,lovely welcome,superb room with outstanding unspoiled views.can't wait to go back.

Excellent booking over the internet.

Arrival documentation good and all questions answered before stay.

We had a wonderful, Summer holiday as an extended family at Hawks Cay, Shaldon. Our ages ranged from 9 to 79. The house was superb for our needs both as far as accommodation was conerned and the high standards of the property - beautifully clean and maintained. We also appreciated the luxurious, stylish design and finish to the house making our stay there feel like a treat. The boys (9 and 11) enjoyed the Devon edition of Monopoly - they played it on and off all week along with the other games and loved the 3D TV experience along with the ice making machine on the fridge - as did the adults! We all loved sitting in the pretty courtyard, popping out to the local shops especially the Yummy Shop opposite and enjoying the local restaurants. The friendly, seaside feel of the village was fun, vibrant and very picturesque. We were very well looked after by James and Karen who left us several jugs of gorgeous fresh flowers and who were a tremendous help to us. There was a magnificent sponge cake awaiting us and other goodies too! Lovely comfty beds - pure luxury!.. I could go on!..... In summary a wonderful holiday in a very special place! We wish we'd had longer as there was so much to see and do so we will have to return. Thank you all who were a part of creating it!

This was our second year of visit and it was even better than the first one!We stayed for a week at the highest level of the condom and the view from our balcony was simply breathtaking!The rooms are very spacious and spotlessly clean, beautiful pool area, friendly staff. We will definately stay next year here as well!!!

Shaldon beach hut 2. Thos was the most wonderful experience. Cosy, classy, clean and so well laid out. The location was superb and the locals are so friendly. I will certainly return to this hut. Discovety holiday homes are so helpful and give that personal touch. I will certainly use them again.

Cottage was clean, fairly spacious and well equipped in terms of crockery etc, however it was a little run down and due for redecoration in some areas. Th garden was a bit messy and didn't look like it had been swept for a while. The house had 3 double rooms, but hot water would run out after 2 people had showered which wasn't good.
A parking space was provided at the rear of the cottage but the lane leading to it is very narrow, the parking area is shared with the neighbors who park 2 cars (sometimes 3) there and seemed a bit disgruntled that we were parking here, not leaving us much room to park and on one occasion I had to squeeze out of our rental car damaging the door on the wall as the neighbor parked so far over.

Overall our holiday was good, the cottage is in a good location on the edge of the village and Shaldon is so picturesque, but I wouldnt stay in this cottage again.

This little place is charming and in a very convenient location. It is nicely decorated and well equipped. There was plenty of room in the small bedroom for my daughter's toddler bed and the travel cot fit nicely in the master bedroom. Really useful to have a washing machine. Definitely set up for dogs - there was evidence there had been dogs there recently which wasn't ideal for my crawling 9 month old getting covered in hair. The reason not 5 star was due to a few lights being out, a panel missing from the kitchen meaning the bin wasn't properly enclosed so could make the place smell and the dog hair on the floor and furniture.

Foys Cottage in Chetnole is comfortable, spacious and well equipped, and has a nice garden, so there is the option of spending a pleasant day at the cottage if one does not want to go out. We particularly liked the bedrooms and bathrooms, and the fact that there was unlimited hot water and plenty of spare towels.
Considering the price that is charged, we would make the following observations:
The cottage is very clean upstairs and in the downstairs bathroom, but the kitchen-diner and lounge could do with a really thorough cleaning and dusting;
The kitchen units need to be modernised, and the expelair above the cooker seems grubby;
The electrical system should be checked - the light switch in the kitchen gets warm, and some lights flicker at first when turned on;
The car parking space is a tight squeeze for a large car when turning in - we found it best to drive in and reverse out down the little lane. There is a wall of the car-port that is difficult to see when reversing out as it is obscured by hedging.
The cottage is located in an attractive village and there is a pub that serves very good food.

We stayed here in August for one week. The apartment owner greeted us warmly and was very helpful and left us to get on with our holiday, although she was close by if we needed her. The apartment was light, bright and we felt at home immediately and it was spotlessly clean. This apartment contained absolutely everything we needed and more. This apartment was ideally situated for Torquay to enable us to walk 5 minutes to shops and restaurants in the evening but was also quiet in a nice area away from the main strip. Yes it was uphill back in the evening but expected in Devon. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family and would choose this apartment when we return.
