Discovery Holiday Homes Reviews 

Salty house is a stunning property, very spacious and decorated at a high standard. The views over the estuary and Teignmouth is lovely.
Would highly recommend this property

James the estate manager was extremely helpful and kind.

Many thanks

This is the second year we have stated at Balcony Belle and it feels so homely we love it.. The views are amazing especially at breakfast time over the beach. The front room makes the apartment what it is, the design and the large floor windows giving you a panoramic view over the beautiful beach is breath taking, all the other rooms really need some modernisation but it won't stop us from booking again next year. A few little things need doing ie only 1 bulb left working in the main bedroom. The door handle to the front room is still broke from last year and not good when you have small children as this fell off and landed near her foot and its a big brass knob. Overall we love the apartment there is something really specially about it, we'd love to buy it.

nous avons passé une superbe semaine courant l'été 2015
la chambre était exactement conforme aux textes et photos
très propre - et cuisine bien équipée et très récente
le personnel très disponible
le jacuzzi et la grande piscine étaient appréciés
le rapport qualité/prix était très bon
une voiture est souhaitable néanmoins nous avons fait nos déplacement en bus sans aucun problème
je recommande cet endroit

The cottage we chose: Free Divers Cottage, or Crab and Winkle cottage (it has 2 names, which caused some confusion) was a lovely quirky building with a lovely garden, which sadly we did not get best use of due to the weather. There are a couple of issues with it however. Firstly the drive is very uneven and not safe for 2 cars to park, and it is not possible to park in the road. The drive could easily be fixed, it is long enough, just not safe to drive on further than one cars length. Secondly the rubbish collection is difficult in this part of the world. The neighbours were unhappy with the rubbish having not being collected as the collectors had refused to take it. Holiday makers need clear instructions about how to manage the rubbish and re-cycling, as currently the neighbours are unhappy to the point of being angry and unfriendly.
Thirdly we had a leak from the shower which needed to be fixed- but this was done quickly and efficiently by the maintenance company.

Accommodation OK - could be improved with some clean cushions and throws and some essential items in the kitchen such as baking trays and some cleaning stuff on arrival (clothes, tea towels, etc.). Not sure the last time the carpet was cleaned, but that would be an improvement.
A radio in the kitchen and a clock and mirror down stairs would be useful.
Plus side - good shower in the bathroom.

Oyster Cottage is more suited to a couple. Parking is a pain. Would be better if the owner could supply a parking permit for a designated space - I can only imagine in high season, it would be even more difficult. Cottage well situated for the great facilities in Shaldon, very friendly village with everything you could wish for. The cream tea left for our arrival was a lovey touch, the bath could do with a step as its rather high to get in and out of, an elderly person may struggle.

We received a very personal service from Sue at Discovery Holiday Homes. She listened and understood what we were looking for and even suggested some suitable properties for us. The one we chose was exactly as Sue had described and what we were looking for. Unusually so, for a holiday letting agency, they really know their properties are always happy to check anything and get back to you. We would certainly check out their website (or even give them a call) when looking for another holiday home. A special thank you to Sue.

Our cottage was great. In a fabulous location with easy walking access to the sea and town and steam train station. The Churston Arms is worth a visit and really dog friends as was our cottage. We walked, talked, ate lots of fresh fish, sunk a few cool beers, and relaxed and read a book! Thank you.

Pebble Beach House was fabulous, a real home from home with all the mod cons & very high spec. We absolutely couldn't fault the accommodation. The only downside was that the builders were still building up the road & there was quite a bit of noise & heavy machinery going up & down. It was also mentioned in the information that there was a cliff top walk down to a private beach but we couldn't find it despite asking the locals! All in all though, a good service and we'd definitely use Discovery again.

My husband, son and I , have just returned from the most delightful 4 days at The Buccaneer Inn, Babbacombe. Our rooms were lovely, very spacious and spotlessly clean, with the most fantastic sea views. Our hosts Marion and Steve and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. We had several meals in the dining room, and all were delicious. This was our second visit and it won't be long before we return.Wonderful!

THE PROPERTY WAS SUPERB , AS WELL AS THE OWNERS. VERY KIND AND ATTENTIVE, YOU WOULD NOT WISH MORE. THE DISCOVERY HOLIDAYS HOMES STAFF VERY HELPFUL AND PROFESSIONAL. MANY THANKS FOR LOVELY HOLIDAYS , WE ARE ACTUALLY CONSIDERING BOOKING WITH YOU NEXT YEAR.

Our experience of using Discovery Holiday Homes has been excellent - a real 5 star service.
Really good communication from them at all stages of the booking process, right up to the point of departure so we always knew what was happening.
When our original choice of villa became unavailable, DHH found another (and indeed better) villa in the same resort and had it all sorted within a few hours.
They clearly have a good relationship with the local agents as well so the 5 star service was continued via the local agents in Cyprus once we arrived.
A great service all round and thoroughly recommended

Lovely cottage in a lovely village. The cottage itself has lots of characters and very nicely done, especially the new bathroom downstairs. As it is a very old cottage the rooms are a bit small for us (couple with a toddler and grandparents). The kitchen need a bit updating. Although cooking occasionally is fine, I find it struggling to use the hob and old fashioned pots/pans. Had a lovely time there, thanks.

I booked this as a short break for my daughter, what a fabulous weekend they had. The beach hut is like a Harris with everything you need and of the highest quality. A fantastic location and superb accommodation, highly recommended.

We stayed at St Christopher cottage in Shaldon for a week. We're familiar with Shaldon so know the area. The cottage is just lovely, so thoughtfully equipped, a real home from home. I took my 2 children aged 10 and 13, so the wi-fi was a real bonus. Flowers, biscuits and milk in the fridge on our arrival after a long drive, was very welcome and thoughtful. My dog Milly also came with us, the cottage even has dog bowls! The secure courtyard area at the front is very nice, with tables and chairs. The bedding and towels are all provided and very nice quality. This cottage is an absolute gem, and I would love to return! We had a lovely holiday.

The house is an excellent size for up to 6 people, with a very useful extra downstairs living area, and plenty of bathrooms. The location is good, short walk to the sea front and the village. It is generally well equipped, although it would benefit from a bigger/extra fridge and a double oven / microwave. The landlords are hard to get hold off, but once you do quite helpful. Overall I would recommend this property and the area of Shaldon.

On arrival we were greeted by the cleaning staff still in there due to the previous occupants leaving all windows and doors open on a very heavy rainy day soaking the premises through leaving the cleaning staff more work to do. However for us this just goes to show how good and committed the staff are to ensure a very pleasant stay and that the premises were at a relatively high standard. The only thing that let it down for us was that there were a few imperfections which you could expect in today's new builds such as a small piece of trim on stair banisters kept coming off as it hadn't been glued properly. The toaster that was supplied was faulty has only one side worked, there were a few scuff marks on the top of one of the breakfast bar stools. Also the previous occupants had left medication in the property i am just glad it was in the top cupboard were my two year old daughter could not get to it as we did not expect such a thing to be there you don't look out for these things and if put into the wrong hands could be very fatal. We also had full recycling bins outside the property all week even though it stated that the bins would be emptied on Friday. We had to managed with this all week even with the current issue of seagulls being aggressive. All in all i now this review may not seem very good but i can assure that the property Pebbles Beach House was absolutely wonderful to stay in. Myself and my family were very comfortable we had a lovely holiday that went far to quick we didn't want to leave. Myself and my husband are even thinking of buying property there because we enjoyed it so much. The views from Pebbles Beach house were amazing you could see the sea for miles we will definitely be returning in the near future.

Had a fantastic stay in Dartmoor cottage. Accomodation was excellent and set in beautiful surroundings. Lots to do in the surrounding area.

We stayed at Terrazza Giorgia for 6 nights and enjoyed every minute. On our arrival we were met with a warm welcome from Nicky who gave us helpful information regarding our stay. The apartment was immaculate and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The terrace was amazing, bathed in sunshine for most of the day. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

We stayed here in July for a week after locating the place everything went smoothly a beautiful property well maintained and clean with comfortable rooms a with plenty of space about
My favourite bits the bi folding patio doors with the jacuzzi,also a gym inside very nice and comfortable with all the mod cons.
Outside there is a great little bar if you like entertaining on evenings and a log burner and with plenty of wood on supply to use.
Comfortable beds the on suite on the ground floor huge master bedroom has a wet room shower. Patio doors onto the private area of the front. The games room upstairs has an Xbox 1 for kids or the men to have a bit of piece and play with a Juliet balcony and opening patio doors with views of the sea, overall would I recommend yes would I stay again yes superb place superb location .
Thank you cherry stones
