Guests say
Greystone is a well-received holiday cottage in Devon, praised for its stunning sea views, spaciousness, and prime location near the beach. Guests appreciate the ample kitchenware, comfortable layout, and the property's suitability for large groups and family gatherings. While some guests have suggested improvements and noted cleaning issues, the overall sentiment is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Several reviews mention cleanliness issues, such as unclean floors, presence of pet hair, and dirty mattress protectors. However, these comments are not universal, suggesting that while there is room for improvement, the property is generally maintained to a satisfactory standard.
The location is highly praised for its outstanding sea views and proximity to the beach. The central position in Hope Cove and the peaceful surroundings contribute to the high rating in this category.
Guests find the property comfortable for family gatherings, with a well-laid-out design and sufficient bathrooms. Some concerns about bed comfort and snug twin rooms are noted, but overall, the property provides a comfortable stay.
The property is well-equipped with kitchenware and has a convenient open-plan layout. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as the need for waste disposal clarity, decking attention, and appliance functionality, indicating that while facilities are good, they require some attention.
There is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category accurately, and the score is set to null.
About this property
Greystone is a spacious detached house with fabulous views out to sea and within just a few minutes downhill walk to the sandy beaches. Greystone is perfect for a family or two families looking to explore the area. The single storey accommodation is presented and furnished to a very good standard and well equipped throughout.
The entrance leads into a lobby with door to the main hallway and access to the light and spacious sitting room with two double sofas, armchair and wood burning stove. French doors lead out to the balcony. There is a open-plan fitted kitchen with breakfast bar and dining area with wooden table and chairs. The utility room houses the washing machine and tumble dryer.
The main bedroom has excellent sea views, double bed, and en suite shower room. The second double with double bed has excellent sea views, and en suite shower room. The third bedroom has two single beds, and en suite shower room with shower. The fourth bedroom has two single beds. There is also a family bathroom with bath, shower (over) and separate cloakroom.
To the front and side of the house is a superb decked balcony with stunning views. BBQ Provided. There are mature areas of garden to the front and side of the property with a good sized lawn to the rear.
The village of Hope Cove has two hotels, pub, shop and cafes. Conveniently located about five miles from both Kingsbridge and Salcombe, this compact village truly comes to life in the summer and has everything you need for a relaxing break.
The picturesque fishing village of Hope Cove lies in a sheltered bay on South Devon’s coastline, offering superb views over Bigbury Bay and Burgh Island. A choice destination for families, two beaches offer soft sand for sandcastle building, plus rock pools great for entertaining children. The town remains a fishing village where crabs and lobsters are still landed, however it was once used by smugglers. Many ships have perished around the coast and the wrecks that lie beneath the waves make it a popular spot for divers. Above the beach there are a number of pubs and restaurants, including the popular café bar ‘The Cove’. The coastal footpath can be joined from here and leads towards the sandy beaches of Thurlestone and Bigbury-on-Sea in one direction, and the sailing town of Salcombe in the other.

Very well equipped. Only a couple of small niggly things that you get in most houses the doors could do with a spot of oil, light above sink in one en suite not working and plug cover loose in that same bathroom. Fabulous property and didnt want the holiday to end

We sadly hit the week of stormy dreadful weather thus prohibiting us from taking advantage of many outdoor pursuits however the house was great for our big family Christmas gathering. We made use of the wood burner and the heating was excellent along with masses of hot water for everyone to take showers and baths! Thankyou SO MUCH for the welcome basket and Christmas trees we loved these touches and much appreciated them The two fridges were brilliant for our use so our fears of not having space were unfounded! Negatives - not many but would be good to have an additional comfy chair in lounge as the wicker one is not ( there is space) and ensure all pillows have protectors on. The decking needs a clean and there is loose / fallen wood panels on steps as you go up to the property We would all like to thank you so much for allowing us to stay with our dogs ( we were very careful and they were very good) and wish you a very happy new year. A place ( house/ home ) to most certainly recommend!!
