Guests say
Sea Peep in Thurlestone is highly praised for its spaciousness, modern amenities, and beautiful location. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings, well-equipped kitchen, and the property's proximity to beaches and local attractions. The open-plan layout and en-suite bedrooms are particularly noted for enhancing group stays. While some minor issues are mentioned, the overall sentiment is extremely positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Guests consistently report that Sea Peep is very clean, with particular reassurance provided during the context of Covid-19. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the comfort and enjoyment of their stay.
The property's location is highly commended for its tranquillity and proximity to beaches, a local pub, and a village shop. The picturesque setting and ease of access to nearby attractions like Salcombe and coastal paths add to the appeal.
Comfort is a highlight, with guests finding the property spacious and the furnishings cosy. The presence of en-suite bathrooms for all bedrooms is a plus. Some guests noted the pillows in the main bedroom could be refreshed and the upstairs can be noisy if there is conversation downstairs.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the kitchen's equipment. However, some guests missed having a tumble dryer, and there were comments about the need for more coat hooks, a boot tray, and a ball for the table football. The lack of a recycling bin was also noted.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

A few more pint glasses would be useful. Not vital but the grass needs cutting. Otherwise excellent, ground source heating very effective, plenty of hot water.

It was immaculately clean, wonderfully equipped and extremely comfortable. We were so happy that we really didn't want to leave. The only thing that we struggled with was that the children were upstairs on their own. It would have been easier if the single beds were in the back, downstairs room near their parents. However, everything else was wonderful and it is a holiday that we will always remember. Thankyou for everything.

So much so that we have booked for next year. thank you! Really well equipped including kitchen utensils. Good situation within walking distance of beaches, The weather was rather hot during our stay and so upstairs was very warm indeed at night. Provision of a fan there is our only thought in terms of a very small improvement..
