Discovery Holiday HomesArvostelua 

We had a lovely stay in Driftwood Cottage, the house was clean, relaxing and comfortable. Very well equipped, a home from home. It was close to the hub of the village of Shaldon, which is delightful and minutes from the beach. Gorgeous views from the dining room and kitchen and the decking outside was a real sun trap.

Would definitely book again.

From the moment we walked in memories of childhood beach holidays flooded back. The chalet was flooded with sunlight and beyond the big picture windows the sea was shimmering.
The well-equipped chalet is right on the beach (there's only a few yards of shingle to the water's edge) so it has unbeatable views of the sea: across the Swale and the Isle of Sheppey and also right across the Thames Estuary. From the sitting room with the big windows or from the sheltered porch you can sit and watch the tides rise and fall, and the light as it changes constantly; as well as the birds (there are nature reserves nearby) and the fishermen digging worms from the mudflats.
The cottage is compact but very well equipped, with a full kitchen, a log burning stove and even satellite TV (but we hardly watched TV when there was something much better to watch outside the window.
It is well decorated and spotlessly clean.
The only drawback was the snug bedroom which had a narrow double bed. But otherwise this made for a perfect beach holiday.

We stayed for 6 nights at castle cottage in Kingswear and we couldn't have asked for anything more! The cottage was perfect and very spacious. Kingswear is a beautiful place and the cottage had fantastic views over the river dart estuary and out to sea. Would definitely recommend the cottage and discovery holiday homes were excellent in every way! We will definitely be back.

Our family of 7 adults and 2 young children stayed at Longcroft House from 23rd May until 30th May. The house itself is beautiful. Still feels like a family home. We loved the decor, the space, the large functional kitchen, the beautiful sitting room with far east themed ornaments and of course the wonderful views looking south over Torbay. Amazing. It was a marvellous week's family holiday. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a large family gathering in Torquay. We will be booking again.

The Villa was excellent, very clean and very well presented. Would use again. Well looked after by Graham on site and the departure lounge option was very useful on our final day

Lovely, comfortable accommodation. Scrupulously clean and bright. Everything you need is there.
Well positioned for walking to the beach, shops around the corner and a pub The London Inn across the green which serves first rate food.
Parking is a nightmare but that's Shaldon.
Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Really is an amazing place to stay for a short break, the location is superb as are all the pubs, restaurants that are all located nearby.
The only small thing is if a toaster could be added to avoid having to use the grill on the oven just to make a slice of toast

There is no doubt this property is exactly what is advertised but on arrival we were hit by lots of house rules which lead to a very uncomfortable stay. Had we been aware of these prior to booking we would not have booked. Our holiday was to be a relaxing break, sitting reading with a glass of wine, few nibbles was one of our expectations but house rule of no food or drink in the living room stopped that. I like to cook things I don't have time for ordinarily, house rule no preparing or serving highly aromatic food in the apartment, stopped that. The threat of extra charges for makeup marks on bedding and towels resulted in me having to by my own bedding and towels just in case! House rules were posted everywhere and for a rented holiday home very unreasonable. An immaculate property it certainly was but at the price of an enjoyable holiday. An experience not to be repeated for us!!!!!

I enjoy travelling within and outside the UK..but what a wonderful experience Beach Hut 5 was!! Such a relaxing luxury retreat & most definitely a recommend for all ages!

Equipped with all the mod cons you require whilst away from home.

A place I will visit AGAIN!!

Thank you to all who maintain the hut it was prestine !!

Our stay at Palm Cottage was a truly enjoyable experience. We used the house as a base to meet up and entertain friends and family while on holiday. The kitchen and house is equipped with all mod cons and has great entertaining space. The house has everything to make you feel at home on holiday, be it toys for children or boardgames to play on quiet evenings in.
We enjoyed our stay and will likely return next year. There is a small parking space to the rear but ample for a medium sized car. The garden is nicely set out, with a apple tree in full blossom while we were there. We had a small problem when arriving, however this was put right by the owner within hours. We appreciated the period features of this Georgian house, and would recommend Shaldon Palm Cottage.

I spent a well-needed 24 hours in this gorgeous beach hut. Well-equipped and stylish, it was the perfect environment for a luxury escape. I was cosy, it was peaceful, and I particularly loved sitting on the terrace sipping wine in the evening.
Maybe the highlight though was stepping from the terrace onto the sand with a cup of tea early morning - not another soul around - just sea, sand, tea and me.

Stunning views from lovely upstairs main bedroom and upstairs lounge, however 2nd bedroom is extremely basic, very disappointing and uncomfortable - small double bed, no headboard and only one bedside table.
Kitchen and dining facilities all satisfactory.
Back yard which is advertised as a place that would be useful for wiping dogs paws is not at all useful as it is on the back of the house and the only entry into the house is through the front door.
There are over 20 fairly steep steps from the street to the front door and unfortunately no hand rail to hold onto. This was a real issue for our elderly parents to confidently and safely negotiate every day.
So if the was just a fit couple staying at this cottage it would be a beautiful holiday venue, but not so comfortable for more people and not really that practical for elderly people or dogs.

1 Foys Cottages is a truly lovely place to spend some leisure time in. It's cosy and comfortable and had everything we wanted. We really enjoyed cooking in and on the Rayburn. Although the weather was not yet warm (or dry) enough for us to enjoy the very nice garden, it was no hardship whatsoever to spend time indoors, catching up on some reading. Chetnole is a good base for discovering the Dorset countryside and coast (as well as Somerset and Devon).

The Kilmorie studio was the perfect location and accommodation for my husband and I and our dog. The studio was thoughtfully furnished and really clean and comfortable. I loved it. The location was so much better than expected, I know a lot of the coastline around Devon, but hadn't explored this part (mainly because I've never fancied going to Torquay!). The view from the studio was beautiful and the access to the South West Coastal path made it perfect for both walking and running. Highly recommend it for couples and dogs who want access to walks without being too close to the town (1.5 miles along the cliff).

Welcoming and friendly hosts, a comfortable and immaculate apartment, light and airy with lovely views inside and out. I’d certainly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.

Our four night trip was an escape for six 40 something professional women to celebrate our long friendship. We were delighted with the standard of accommodation. All six women were complimentary of the fresh cotton linen and excellent mattresses. The discerning cooks among us were very impressed with the well equipped kitchen and those views across the bay and out to sea were to die for. The living room served as a viewing station where we lingered gazing out at the scene of natural beauty before us.

Close by is the marvellous Hope & Anchor pub with excellent seafood and wine list. Particular favourites were the Cornish lager and whitebait starter. The staff were very friendly and helpful as were the locals.

We walked over to Thurlestone for lunch at the Village Inn where we received excellent service and delicious food of a far higher standard than one would expect from a pub. Again locals and staff friendly and accommodating.

On our last day we mooched over
to Inner Hope Cove to wander around admiring the many thatched cottages and picked up some arty objects from the Gallery behind the Watch House. Again friendly staff and good for a chat.
The only downside was that we had to come home. Six well-fed well-walked and content women returned to the rat race refreshed. We left our hearts in Hope Cove soon to return.

The Watch House is a beautiful cottage on the beach, ever changing views from the windows and well equipped for all you may need for a stay away from home. We stayed as a family of five and enjoyed everything Hope Cove had to offer - the beaches, walks, shop, pub and café bar. From the moment of arriving it felt magical and that feeling didn't leave us during our entire stay.
The cottage is fantastically located for playing on the sand, boogie boarding in the sea or exploring at low tide. I'm sure there is lots to do in the area but to be honest we parked up and then didn't leave until it was time to go home.

Lovely hut with everything you need. Not the best place to stay if you are on the larger side, the bathroom is a bit tight as my other half discovered (it did make our stay very amusing!) All clean with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival, everything you need provided. Great location, beach can get busy on a weekend. Would recommend and stay again.

We stayed at River View Shaldon for a week at Easter. Angela did everything she could to make us feel extremely welcome - she really 'went the extra mile' The bungalow was really well equipped and was ideal for my mother to get around in her wheelchair (after negotiating the front steps) and the wet room was very useful. The upstairs bedroom and ensuite were great for us too. The outlook from the bungalow is lovely and the village with its pubs, shops and cafes is just a 5 minute walk away.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this property and Discovery Holiday Homes.

We loved staying at this homely maintained Tankerton Magic property. The place was located in calm and quite area, with easy access to beaches, train station and stores.Its more than 5 star rating..
