Une plage de galets longue d'un kilomÚtre se trouve à quelques pas de votre porte et le Cricket Inn est à quelques minutes à pied et offre un vrai goût de Devon. Si vous aimez explorer plus loin, le village cÎtier endormi de Torcross est à une courte distance en voiture.
Firstly the location was amazing. Great sea views and coastal walks on our doorstep.
Overall the house is lovely however I really feel it is let down by the cleanliness of it. It was very dusty everywhere and think it could do with a deep clean.
Some of the furnishings are very tired.
We were told that the patio fort off one of the bedrooms was broken when we arrived and it would be fixed during our stay but this didnât happen which was very disappointing.
Superb views, lovely location, comfort (but not luxury) by the sea
Very comfortable mattresses, the furnishings are in quite good condition, and it is set in a lovely location in a quiet seaside village with uninterrupted views of the sea from Start Point lighthouse all the way to Blackpool Sands and beyond. It has a small but well-designed garden which serves as a suntrap. The bathrooms are modern with powerful showers. There are two restaurants within a few minutes walk and the house more or less sits on the SWCP, a huge plus. The large windows do not give much privacy but the pay off is wonderful views, raining or not.
However, it is marketed in the "luxury" category, but a number of issues work against this description, such as: it is advertised as having four double beds but one is an extremely uncomfortable and inadequate sofa bed in the cinema room. As there is no tv in the sitting room, this results in intruding on someone's space and rearranging the cinema room every time anyone wants to watch tv; minimal or no toiletries/cleaning products (e.g. no dish washing liquid, few dishwasher tablets and toilet paper etc); the washing machine is difficult to access as it is stored/hidden behind a baby chair, vacuum cleaner and other items in a cramped and dirty cupboard giving the impression that using it is discouraged; the kitchen design leaves little room for food preparation as the stove takes centre stage on the island; on arrival, some crockery and glasses, as well as some parts of the bathrooms, were not as clean as one would expect; and for the "welcome pack" a few odd looking scones were left in a plastic bag with an already opened jar of jam.Â
In summary, don't expect "luxury" but it is a comfortable house with a fantastic view in a lovely location.Â
Great location and fine house. A few points to make - no ice tray in freezer, no handrail on the stairs, and a bit off a problem with the heating time clock - maybe the result of a power cut ?Otherwise, no problem, and we would book again.
Beautiful views from this property, the floor to ceiling windows and the balconies upstairs make this property unique and the views with the sea opposite are wonderful. Customer service was great with texts/calls/emails. Only issue were the dog hairs found in the bedding, I understand that this house allows pets but we found numerous hairs in our bedding which was not ideal.
The house is right on the beach with amazing views and lovely terraces and outside space.
We were 6 adults and 2 kids, who slept on the sofa bed in the cinema room. This was ok, but did mean that most of the time the adults had to share one bathroom as the second bathroom can only be accessed by the cinema room (where the kids were asleep) - worth bearing in mind if booking for more than 6 people.
We also felt that a few small details had been overlooked which was disappointing considering the price point of the property over the peak half term week. These would be very easily fixed (sufficient mugs/wine glasses, decent dishwasher etc.) and Iâll feed back privately to the owners on them in the hopes they improve for future guests.
The beds were very comfortable and overall we had a pleasant stay. The local pub is very good.
We had the best stay at Beamends. The location was the best - we loved looking out of the windows at the beautiful sea view everyday. It was a fantastic location with the seafood restaurant and pub just a few minutes walk away.
We were originally super disappointed that we were not allowed to use the balcony. However the agency dealt with it very well and ensured we were happy with the solution.
There were quite a few reasons I had to call the concierge - in we needed bedding for the spare bed, as well as the dishwasher not working. But they were super swift at dealing with all of our queries - thank you!
However the house, location and the quick friendly service was fantastic and we would love to come and stay again.
Thank you!
We absolutely loved our stay at Beam Ends. So much so that even though it rained most of our time there, we still had a fantastic time. The house and location were stunning, a fantastic place to disappear and be inspired by as we worked on writing our book.
Loved this house. Great position, lots of breathing space, sophisticated decor and lovely views. A very comfortable stay rain or shine. We were are party of three adults, two children and a dog. A very pleasant coastal break.
Absolutely super location, 50ft from the beach. We werenât expecting quite such a long distance on the one track lanes, but soon got used to it. The house was slightly smaller than we expected but had been decorated very well. The kitchen is modern and well equipped - maybe a couple more pans and some more BBQ utensils.
The beds were very firm and I didnât find mine at all comfortable. Also not king size which we were led to believe. The showers were powerful and there was loads of hot water. It wasnât as clean as I would expect given the late check in time. Unfortunately one of the bedroom balcony doors was broken and it was very hot upstairs.
We had a fantastic meal at the Cricket Inn and fish and chips at the Britannia. Both amazing and just up the road. The grandchildren were able to play on the green and the beach and it was a lovely family holiday.
Excellent in almost all areas - only shortcomings - some cobwebs suggested less than thorough cleaning, and the managing agent not answering telephone calls on checkout day was poor. Could benefit from an ice tray in the freezer. otherwise - very well equipped, very comfortable, ticked all the boxes and in an unbeatable location with a great pub and seafood place both within a couple of minutes walk. Very good.
