Guests say
The Water Tower Studio in Seaton, Devon, is generally praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and friendly owner. Guests appreciate the quiet location, the large garden, and the property's proximity to local attractions. While some guests have highlighted issues with cleanliness and maintenance, these seem to be exceptions rather than the rule. The property's unique charm and the welcoming atmosphere have led to repeat bookings and recommendations.
Most guests found the property to be clean and well-presented, contributing to a relaxing stay. However, there were a few reports of cleanliness issues such as cobwebs, dog hair, and a smell of damp, which slightly impacted the overall perception of cleanliness.
The property's location is frequently described as ideal, peaceful, and private, with easy access to nearby towns and attractions. The convenience of local amenities like Waitrose and the proximity to the beach are well-received, although one review mentioned road noise.
Guests consistently report that the property is comfortable, with a spacious open-plan layout, comfy beds, and a welcoming atmosphere. Some concerns were raised about the layout of the bedrooms and bathroom, which may not suit everyone's preferences.
Facilities are generally seen as good, with a well-equipped kitchen and a large garden. However, some guests noted the lack of an upstairs toilet, an insecure garden for dogs, and a need for better recycling guidance. Maintenance issues like an unstable toilet bowl and a scalding shower were also mentioned.
While guests have mentioned a welcome pack, there is insufficient information to determine the consistency of such gestures or their impact on the overall experience. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such thoughtfulness is a standard practice for all stays.

Extremely well maintained and meticulously clean. All facilities as described. The only thing which could have been improved would be to have some kind of privacy plastic/semi transparent adhesive plastic applied to the downstairs toilet window so that anyone in the other 2 properties doesnât get an unwelcome view!! At present, if you use the toilet, you need to pull the blind down. A minor criticism.

The welcome pack was such a treat when we arrived. The only thing I can think of to improve the holiday was to have a pair of oven gloves. Otherwise very well equipped.

The Water Tower Studio is ideally situated to visit places in Devon and Dorset. The property worked really well for our family. The garden is was a great added bonus. We would highly recommend the property.
