some kind words . . .

Wanda and Dean

I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to all of the staff at Beaconside, you are all amazing. Last week was the most unbelievable experience ever for me, Dean and all of our guests! I'm sorry I didn't get to say thank you to each of you individually before we left. You really are an awesome team. Thank you, Mr & Mrs Shepherd x

Lauren

Baytree Cottage - Wonderful break in Baytree Cottage. The accommodation has everything you need but the little touches make the difference! Our dogs were welcomed and had lots of space to run around!

Felicity

Gorgeous stay in a beautiful part of the world. Pollywiggle cabin is small but perfectly formed and has everything you need for a stay! We managed to do a five course meal with the combi-oven and kitchen facilities! Perfectly placed for walks and the Devon coastline, the hot tub is much appreciated after some of the coastal hills. Love foraging for fire wood and lighting the fire pit in the evening. Thank you for having us x

Nicola

Fabulous country house with glorious views. Plenty of room for everyone, kids were kept busy with the pool and games room. Very well equipped kitchen with every pot and pan you could require! Extremely comfortable beds and lovely decor in keeping with the gorgeous Victorian details. Would love to return in the summer!”

Sarah

Baytree Cottage- We had a truly wonderful New Years at the cottage. So peaceful and relaxing reading our books in front of the gorgeous fire. We really appreciated the cottage had been decorated for the festive season and felt immediately at home. The hot tub and indoor pool were definitely a bonus! Communication with Jess was excellent throughout and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here.

Rebecca

A beautifully located lodge with it’s own private hot tub. Ideal for a small or large family with a large en-suite bedroom being separated from the other 2 bedrooms by the kitchen and living area. Really warm and super cosy with the log burner lit. Shared indoor pool perfect for our young children learning to swim. Would thoroughly recommend for families- plenty of space for everyone. Thank you for a lovely, comfortable and cozy stay during a wet and windy October half term!

Katherine

Wonderful spot with superb shared pools and hot tubs. Most comfortable accommodation at very reasonable cost. We spent a relaxing Christmas in Bay Tree Cottage. Close to great beaches and shops.

Chloe

Thank you so much, we all had the best time and everyone was so impressed with the house and facilities. Your organisation really helped and we all absolutely loved it!

Emma

We had a fantastic stay at Beaconside! We all really enjoyed the facilities and loved the beautifully decorated house. We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate with our friends. Would highly recommend, 5*.
