Guests say
Flat 18 in Paignton offers a prime location close to amenities and the beach, ideal for small family holidays. Guests appreciate the well-maintained grounds and pool area. A welcome pack adds a thoughtful touch, though its provision may vary. Some concerns over dampness and maintenance have been noted.
The flat was described as clean by guests, but issues with a persistent damp smell affected the overall perception of cleanliness.
The apartment's location is highly praised for its proximity to local amenities, the beach, and its inclusion in a lovely area with good grounds and a pool.
Comfort was compromised by initial dampness and a broken toilet seat, but improved during the stay. Wardrobe space was limited due to clutter.
Facilities like the pool area are well-regarded, but issues with a non-functional freezer compartment and poor quality furnishings were mentioned.
While a welcome pack was appreciated, there is insufficient information to determine if such gestures are consistent, and they should not be expected.

The flat was clean although there was a strong smell of damp when we arrived and every time we entered the flat. Bed linen was not very good, clean but not properly maintained. The freezer compartment didnât work properly, we brought ice creams and they didnât stay frozen so had to throw them away. We didnât use the pool area but it looked well maintained and clean, when we walked through.

The welcome pack of tea,coffee,sugar and milk was very much appreciated however the overwhelming smell of damp would prevent us from booking again.

It was also virtually impossible to put hangers on the rail as it was so close to the shelf above. Generally the standard of furnishing was poor quality
