  Really loved our stay in this cottage last year.

  I come to Holcombe every year for the past 8 years or so. Unfortunately this year as soon as we opened the front door it stank of dogs in every room. We kept getting door hairs in and on our bed. We wouldn’t even sit in the snug. I went out and bought cleaning items to try and make it better. But the smell is on the rugs, carpets and furniture. If we weren’t in bed or sat at the kitchen table we went out. The love heart wooden board chopping board smelled awful as though it had been used to feed dogs off it. I put it outside as didn’t want charging for binning it. It’s certainly put me off from coming again as even after cleaning things and spraying etc the smell is still very strong. The whole place needs a deep clean as the cleaners can only do so much with the time that they are given

  Turtle Chalet is a two storey, purpose built holiday home on a large, mixed accommodation type holiday park.

  The park is the best we have ever stayed on, well managed, very clean with a good range of facilities (some of which do cost extra to use), plenty of adjacent parking and within a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. The chalet itself has recently been completely refurbished with new kitchen and shower room with good sized shower and new floor covering throughout. There is a modern overhead electric heating system which is very effective as long as previous guests have not tried to impose their own settings! With comfortable furniture and all the equipment you are likely to need (except a teapot, but that has probably been sorted by now), and a nice welcome pack. Comes highly recommended for anyone looking for a self catering south Devon resort holiday, especially if you like trains.

  From entering the site, it was immaculate, the ground staff did a great job and the site was very professional but family friendly.

  The chalet was also immaculate, great work by the cleaning staff. It was a home away from home and had everything you could need, down to the smallest of items, the pint of milk and mince pies was a lovely touch. It came across as a multi million pound business but run by a family. It matched everything places like travellodge and premier Inn have to offer but with much more. The personal touches made the holiday so much nicer, even down to emails from a real person with a mobile phone number. I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area and myself and my wife want to say a personal thankyou for making our holiday awesome. We look forward to many more years of visits.

  We had a wonderful week at Rose Cottage.

  As soon as you walk in you can feel the warmth and love that has gone into it. Everything has been thought about in detail. Every cooking item & utensil is provided (and a lovely welcome pack of goodies), the shower is powerful, the sofas and bed (we only used one) are really comfortable, the TV is a good size, the electricity sockets are plentiful (a rarity!), the garden is lovely and secure, the area is peaceful and the locals we spoke to were very friendly. I saw a couple of comments about the stairs being steep but we have stayed in a lot of cottages and most of them have staircases as steep or steeper than this one. All in all, we would have been very happy to move in permanently ☺️

  When I booked I asked for a single bed and the double bed to be made up as my friend and 1 do not sleep together this was not done and I had to get the owner to come from his home some 10 miles away to make up the single bed in the 2nd bedroom.

  I also asked about the club on the site which is near the chalet and was told it closed at 11 pm this did not happen every night the music etc went on till midnight and by the time the guests left and went back to their accommodation it resulted in us going a whole week with no proper sleep till 1 am.. I have complained and am awaiting a call from Anna. The chalet itself was spotless and well equipped the only thing wrong with the holiday was Sykes giving me wrong information about the club and not telling the owner about my request for a single bed to be made up as well as the double bed.
