Discovery Holiday HomesArvostelua 

Whilst this is the first time we have used Discovery Holiday Homes and stayed in one of their Properties (Hawks Cay), we feel we can say we have received an excellent service. The Property itself was superb and exceeded our expectations and the Property Management team that not only greeted us on arrival but kept in contact with us throughout our stay were professional, very helpful, friendly and gave excellent advice on where to eat drink and enjoy our holiday in Shaldon. What a wonderful seaside village

All in all a good experience. The property we rented was fab and the arrival arrangements etc went very smoothly. Fantastic. Thank you.

The only slight problem was the administration seemed a little disorganised. Firstly, I was phoned months before my booked holiday by the housekeeper who said she was expecting me that coming Friday and wanted to clarify the arrival arrangements. She seemed very confused when I said I wasn't booked in till July. This panicked me thinking they had got my booking wrong or I had inadvertently booked the wrong dates.

Then I was sent a reminder to pay the remainder of my rental balance, even though I had sent it a couple of weeks earlier. This threw me into another panic as I imagined the worse. Happily it has been received, but not booked in or something. So all was well.

Our 2nd visit to The Balcony and another super holiday in an amazing and spacious apartment that has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Great location and the views are fantastic, the private parking space a real bonus. So glad we discovered this place, it's on our list for a return stay.

We stayed between 4 & 11/7/15 and we were very fortunate with the good weather which does help one's opportunities for a good time. We enjoyed the parking facility which well suited our MG Midget and the Ercol chairs were a delight. The best bit was however the garden which is very nicely tended and is an absolute sun trap until late afternoon.
The house has all that one would want in the way of fittings and indoor leisure capacity it was spotlessly clean and the field glasses were a very nice addition to the wonderful river views at the lounge window.

A good property in a great location. The village of Shaldon has all you want for a holiday and all of South Devon is within an easy drive. The cottage itself needs a little bit of work doing to it both inside and out.

What a fabulous week we had in this wonderfully situated house.

Just the two of us and so only used the upstairs facilities. The sun shone all week.

The balcony overlooking the harbour is great for having breakfast alfresco, although its in the shade from about 2pm.

There are 113 steps down to the harbour front, easy going down, but just take your time walking back up.

Booked this as a last minute break and Sue from Owners Direct ( not used this company before) was very, very helpful and friendly. We received all instructions straight after payment, very thorough details on how to find the house and garage. To have a garage available in this area is just great, as parking is a nightmare. Put the car in and forget about it.

Great relaxing holiday in beautiful Brixham.

Wow, what a place! We loved every minute of our holiday and didn't want to go home. Bywater is an amazing property and situated in a fantastic location right on the edge of the water with direct access to a private beach. The house is out of this world and has everything you need and more, it was lovely and clean and the hot tub was an added bonus. The garage is brilliant, it has a pool table and table tennis as well as a dart board. The grounds are great, there are lots of different areas to enjoy (seating and BBQ) as well as a lovely lawn which our dogs enjoyed. The local village is lovely, we ate at an amazing fine dining restaurant across the road from the pub, the name escapes me at this time but the details are in the info book. There is lots to do locally and some fab walks nearby. I would definitely recommend Bywater, it will not disappoint!

This cottage is as good as the photo's suggest, probably better. Superb views of the river Dart from the living room and master bedroom and also from the garden area.
We really enjoyed our stay here, would highly recommend it, and would definitely like to come back.
The only downside, not that it's anyone's fault, was the noisy seagulls. They were noisy all night long, every night, and seemed to keep scurrying across the roof of the cottage. Maybe some bird control spikes on the roof would be a good idea?

A wonderful house and location. Everyone had the most fabulous time. You'll never get tired of that view and with so much to do, you'll have to tear yourself away for the short stroll to the beach below.
The only gripe would be that the beds should be larger, inkeeping with the grand rooms.... Not much of a gripe I know!

Positives:

Very well equipped kitchen
Very clean
Sea views
Problems sorted out very quickly
Lovely area
Modern house
Well decorated

Negatives:

Had to request the high chair and cot (It was not clear to me that I had to request them because the house said it had them plus I said I had an infant. However after a quick call I was provided with both.)
Very thick duvet
Not quite a short walk to the beach but walkable
No access to garage

We were looking for something different for our holidays this summer and beach hut 5 delivered in spades! Would have have no hesitation in recommending the accomodation to others.

My boyfriend and I stayed in beach hut 2 for 2 nights in June and we really enjoyed it. Perfect location right on the beach and next door to a lovely place to eat & drink and just a few mins walk from a bakery/ butchers and small shop. It was a really cute and homely hut that had everything we needed for our stay. Certainly would stay again come rain or shine and recommend to all.

Beautiful well equipped house, fantastic location, would consider a returning visit.

We had a brilliant stay in the studio , great views, comfortable furniture, everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Also a very pretty garden .thank you ..

What an amazing find, you will not be disappointed by selecting this amazing property. The spacious bedrooms, numerous patios to enjoy the glorious view of the river to indulging in the hot tub, this place is a must if you want relaxation. This place had everything, from the nautical decor throughout the house and the attention to detail was impressive, towels and slippers on all the beds, spare towels for the regular dips to the hot tub, to fresh flowers, tea, bread, milk, biscuits and all the essentials upon arrival, this place had it all and I have to say the kitchen was very well equipped! We were a group of 10 girls and thoroughly enjoyed our stay we only left the house once as you had everything you needed at your fingertips. Plenty of outdoor space for our yoga session, with a lovely area for our evening BBQ and plenty of seating We have decided to make this a annual get away! Well done Bywater, see you next year! :) I highly recommend Bywater!

We enjoyed our stay at Whimbrels in Ilfracombe very much! The house and the garden are lovely and the sea view is just overwhelming.

Great contact, everything was perfectly organized.

We will be booking again next year.

My 4 female friends and I stayed at Free Diver Cottage, Island Wall, Whitstable at the beginning of June for 5 days. The cottage is very well situated near to both the sea and the town which has a wide range of shops supplying all ones needs. There are many restaurants and cafes with very helpful and friendly staff. The Duke of Cumberland pub offers an unusual 'menu' in that there is no menu and for a charge of £15 per head a marvellous succession of wonderful, local, fresh food is brought to the table as and when ready. A superb experience, good value for money and highly recommended.
The cottage is lovely - clean and light with a delightful garden. It has all one needs. However, the downstairs toilet is a disgrace and in need of immediate attention. It needs a thorough overhaul and re-painting; the flush system takes ages to re-fill; there is a dripping pipe in the corner. This facility is far from the standard of the rest of the property.
In high winds the bedroom windows rattle constantly preventing sleep. The drive at the front of the property is dangerous. There is insufficient room for people to go by once a car is on the drive and the approach to the cottage is far from attractive.
We were pleased to find a washing line but were not able to use it as we could not find any clothes pegs.
This is a good property in an excellent location but it needs some immediate detailed attention and maintenance.

A snuggly small but bright and lovingly renovated cottage in the Center of the village. Beach is just around the corner - heaps of sand for the children to build sandcastles, nice Café/ Restaurant for the grown-ups. Bakery, butchers and supermarket in very short walking distance.
Children should not be too young, since the staircase is very steep.
We loved it!

This is a great apartment with everything you need. The view of the river is amazing and makes for s great setting.

The owner is friendly and always around if you need him,but if you don't, you are left to your own devices.

With close links to Paignton, Torquay and Brixham it is an ideal location. The village is very quiet and there is a nice pub which does great food.

Would definitely recommend this place and would stay again

Thanks

We spent 3 days in early June at Tofino Apartment in Torquay. This is a new, very modern flat with a great kitchen and bathroom. It also has a washing machine. The view of the bay is stunning. Nikki met us at check-in and provided us with great information. She was very accommodating. Be aware that the hike uphill to the apartment from town is quite significant, and unless one takes their car back and forth, it is a consideration. My husband and I considered it good exercise and were glad for the challenge! We enjoyed being in this beautiful part of Torquay and enjoyed our stay.
