    “Based on a Christmas stay for 8 adults costing £2200 The positives are: Great location for access to beach & walking/Burgh Island The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms modern with good showers.”

    The dog bed etc is a thoughtful addition The table top football provided a lot of fun Big kitchen/workspace and the outdoor area is spacious and very useable Gated safe community We didn't have hot water when we arrived but the problem was sorted swiftly. Plenty of parking, we parked 3 cars and the electric charger was a positive for us.

    The dog bed etc is a thoughtful addition The table top football provided a lot of fun Big kitchen/workspace and the outdoor area is spacious and very useable Gated safe community We didn't have hot water when we arrived but the problem was sorted swiftly. Plenty of parking, we parked 3 cars and the electric charger was a positive for us. Some negatives: The house looks over a BIG caravan park, it was closed at Christmas but I should imagine the noise and traffic would be a nuisance in summer. It's a very disappointing view. The house is well equipped and a sociable space, but lacks a cosy feel, therefore it made it difficult to relax fully. And because it's lacks soft furnishings noise bounces around, especially when the table top football is in action! The sofa area particularly needs some rethinking, it provides a place to watch TV, but isn't sociable because you are all sat in a line, rather than a group. The coffee table is too small and you can't reach it from the sofa. If you use Challaborough on SAT NAV instead of postcode you come into the area via a tarmac road rather than a very narrow dirt track with a lot of potholes! This would seem a more sensible way to arrive. We also noted the following: Only one champagne glass Wine glasses could do with being upgraded Fridge is small for 8 and the door doesn't seem to shut fully. Cooker small for cooking for 8 adults Table is a tight squeeze for 8 adults Could do with a second shoe tray, not big enough for 16 shoes! Not sure the extractor fans were working, alarms set off twice 'Wardrobes' not very practical, no drawers for jumpers/t-shirts etc. We had an enjoyable stay, but based on the above we'd not revisit, or recommend to friends. It is a great location for the beach and walking but didn't provide us with a warm cosy feeling. Might be better for a summer stay, although you'd then be sharing the beach with 350 static caravan families!!

Home to a well-stocked convenience store and a friendly local pub/restaurant, this village has all the essentials for a scenic escape to the South Devon Coast. The neighbouring towns and villages of Hope Cove and Salcombe are filled with soft, sandy beaches, breath-taking vistas and enchanting local landmarks that tell of the rich local history.
