  Overall Lavender House provided us with a good base for our holiday with well appointed facilities and plenty of space.

  On arrival there was a strong smell of paint in the kitchen.It looked like the ceiling had been recently painted with evidence of roller spray and splashes on the units, fittings and floor around the room. It also looked like only one part of the room had been done as the other part looked very tired. We felt that the bed linen, particularly the duvets were in need of updating and the towels were also showing signs of use with some being stained. If this is a matter for the linen company then it should be addressed. There were a number of maintenance issues, blinds not working, curtain poles bent out of line and toilet flush handles missing parts and falling off. I managed to repair one blind and reposition the curtain pole but this should be addressed by the letting agent not the guest! There is a shed which guests don’t have access too so we couldn’t store our bikes securely (this could easily be achieved) and the understairs cupboard is full of paint pots which could easily be moved to the shed to give guests more space for storage. We ended up having cycling’s helmets and picnic blankets oiled up in corners of the house rather than stowed away. Lavender House was a great house for our holiday and our friends have rebooked for next year already. With as very small amount of effort this could be an excellent place, please make it so for our next visit!

  The cottage itself was everything you said it would be in a very quiet and secluded area, an absolutely beautiful setting and the facilities within the cottage itself were very nice.

  However, I have to express my satisfaction with your company. I paid you one hell of a lot of money for a three night stay. On Friday and Saturday evening the cottage itself was very very cold. The thermostat doesn’t seem to work when you turn it up. All that seems to happen is the temperature flashes and then it states off. I reported to this to you the next morning received an email and then my next response was after I had left the property , open “was everything okay? “. No it wasn’t okay as I say I’ve powered paid you A very large fee for three nights, the least I expect is someone to be responsive to my enquiries. I fully appreciate that it was a bank holiday weekend, but your line of business is the service holiday customers so you need to have coverage every single day. What if the problem was really serious? What would I have done. I have to say this is certainly tainted my view of your company and ever using them in the future. I am seriously thinking about using Airbnb in the future.

  We did have a very enjoyable holiday at The Peaches.

  We have been here once before in April and will probably come again next year. The beds were very comfortable and in general the place was very warm and cosy but, and these aren't complaints but comments/observations on Peach House. The area around the showers where water had come through needs looking at as it is taking the paint off the walls. The toilet seat in the main bedroom is coming away and needs fixing. I know they had trouble with one of the showers which does show up on the kitchen ceiling quite badly. I also feel that the TV is very old and really needs replacing with a bigger screen. I know we don't go on holiday to watch TV but nearly everywhere awe have stayed in the last few years has a much better TV. None of these things would put us off going back again but I really feel the time is right to give the place a makeover and sort out some of these problems. I shan't be giving it a bad review as I would like to go there again next year. Thank you

  We have stayed at Peach House several times, and always enjoyed it.

  You can't actually see the sea, but it's only a short walk to the Moot Hall area of beach. The house is well-furnished, the cupboards well-stocked, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Housekeeping has always been excellent. There is a separate fire in the main room for cold spells/evenings, plus a good range of children's toys and books there. Outside is not quite so suitable for younger children: no contained space for toddlers, or play things, and there is an enticing but potentially dangerous spiral staircase) But there are a table and chairs for adults. I would advise you to bring eye-masks. The bedroom window coverings are attractive but let though light. Our bedroom faced the morning sun early on. Peach House is in a central position (easy to walk in to town too), nicely luxurious with its en suite bathrooms and wide beds, and a happy holiday base.

  Lovely house.

  Very comfortable lounge furnishings especially the leather chair which I claimed! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would expect in your own home. The various food stuffs in the cupboard was a nice touch.A lovely big table should the house have more guests. The beds were very comfortable and lots of pillows and cushions available if you needed them. My only observation would be no hanging place for clothes in the main bedrooms. A rack of pegs with hangers would be easy to put up and solve the problem. A very practical garden with a good sized table and comfortable chairs plus space to kick a ball for my grandson’s. The BBQ was a good addition although we didn’t use it. All in all it felt very home from home and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend.
