Discovery Holiday Homes Reviews 164

We were lucky enough to stay in the Balcony Belle, Hesketh Crescent Torquay in October 2015.
I have to stay this is one of the finest properties we have ever stayed in. The building is steeped in history and I had long admired Hesketh Crescent as one of the most iconic spots in Torquay.
Balcony Belle is truly special upon opening your door you have a small hallway and a small flight of stairs takes you up to the main apartment. It has a well equipped kitchen with all the mod cons and an easy to use central heating system. The dining area just off the kitchen gives magnificent sea views and along a small walkway you find the master bedroom which again has beautiful views, lovely comfy bed and elegantly furnished with plenty of wardrobe space.
The main living area has amazing views again, a lovely fireplace and access to the balcony where you have a table and chairs to sit out and enjoy the views. A further spacious bedroom with two single beds is near the living room. The whole apartment is beautifully decorated and fabulous artwork to enjoy. Lovely and clean on our arrival even with a pint of milk left in the fridge for us. I couldn't speak highly enough of this accommodation, we absolutely fell in love with it and hope to go back before long. I hope anyone who books here enjoys this amazing and very special accommodation as much as we did. It was amazing to spend a week in a building steeped in history and an amazingly furnished apartment. Well done Discovery Holiday Homes you know how to please! A very happy family thankyou

We have just returned from a weeks stay at the Terrazia Giorgia Apartment in Torquay what a truly lovely apartment very well looked after by Nicky a credit to her, she is very friendly and helpful.
Great location but at the highest part of town,but there is a bus service local link bus 60 &. 61 just across the road,so makes getting into Torquay easier. Many places to visit by buses in town so no excuse we traveled has far has Plymouth. Would recommend this apartment you definitely will be very impressed enjoy your stay we have.
Nicky provided lots of lovely toiletries and really thoughtful gifts for her guests so very unexpected Thankyou Nicky,and free wifi.

This is one of the best places we have stayed in UK. Everything is extremely clean and owners have made everything homely.
I have never been anywhere that give you more than a few milks to use with drinks, and more than enough toiletries wise. No need to bring extras.. Hand soap, body lotion, shampoo and shower gel. Bed comfy. Lovely management who will do all they can for you. Took a bottle of bubbly to celebrate my birthday, was given an ice bucket. Opened looking out from a fab view of the bay. They also do lovely food. Not after 6.30pm Sunday's though. (Apparently they do a lovely Sunday roast). Have stayed in both rooms they have. I have no faults and I'm a fussy one. Will be back. Thank you Marion and Steve!

From the moment we arrived at the Buccaneer we felt very welcome, the owners were very friendly and accommodating. The room was large and very well equipped. We loved our stay but would have welcomed breakfast rather than having to go elsewhere to locate it. Having said that, ther're lots of places nearby. The views from the balcony were beautiful and the ever changing sea views from this room, were in itself, well worth the stay. Babbacombe is a great location.

We stayed here for 3 days in October with my fiance and 4 other friends.

The house is in great condition and obviously has been well looked after. There are plenty of facilities in the house including hair dryers and WIFI, outside there was a BBQ and fire heater, although due to the weather we didn't get to use either.

All the rooms are of good size and even though there was 6 of us it never felt small
The bedrooms were very clean and tidy although only the master bedroom and twinroom have TV's which was a little disappointing, but to some people that wouldnt bother them, it's just a nice touch.

The beach is located within a 30 seconds walk, there is also a cafe called Red Rock which do a fabulous Breakfast and a flame grilled pub 5 minutes walk from the house. Torquay is a 15 minute drive.

Overall all 6 of us were very impressed with the house and we would highly recommend it and we are planning to stay here again soon.

Lastly the Jacuzzi was amazing and well worth paying the extra £50 for.

Compact and well cared for... Staying at the Shaldon beach hut 2 was a unique and fun experience. Space needed managing, and care especially when cooking in the well equipped galley, but that all added to the intimate experience. Sitting outside in the patio area looking across to Teignmouth and out to sea was a delight.

Just back from a fabulous weekend in Beach Hut No2 in Shaldon. The beach hut is very well equipped to a good standard and everything you need is in there. The patio area is spacious with easy access to the beach, also has the added bonus of being next door to the Clipper Cafe.

The house is immaculate, quality furnishings and extra touches. Warm welcome from Karen and James. This was our second visit, would definitely like to return. Shaldon is great for all ages with the beach, cafes and bars all on your doorstep as well as a great many nearby attractions. Fabulous holiday! Thank you again

We stayed here over Easter. What a beautiful property and a stunning location. Can't wait to come back! :)

This was an outstanding property. It was such a pleasure to eat out on the deck enjoying the magnificent views of the coast. The property is well appointed and lacks nothing. The whole experience was of the highest quality and thoroughly enjoyable. Can't wait to return, felt sad to leave.

We stayed for four nights and we really enjoyed the place, the area was nice and the house breathtaking. The owner was soo kind with us and extened our checkout to the afternoon. The house was very clean and tidy.

Housekeepers were very helpful with problems/questions. The beach hut itself is compact (as expected) and generally well equipped in an excellent location. However, the bathroom was poorly designed. Nobody can sit on the toilet comfortably as the hand basin overlaps the WC bowl. You have to sit at an angle of 45 degrees!!

We loved the remoteness of Galmpton boat house. The view from the balcony was magical. There was always something different to see. In side modern and very comfortable. Highly recomend this property.

Enjoyed our short stay at Polly 's Place. From the welcoming bottle of wine to the lovely views over the harbour. Everything was in place to ensure a comfortable stay. Would recommend and will investigate other possible Discovery holiday homes for future breaks.

We have just returned from a fabulous week’s holiday in Torbay, where we had a wonderful stay at the Pink Bungalow. The property is located on a quiet street, is extremely comfortable and furnished to a very high standard throughout. The kitchen is very modern and the dining area benefits from a sunny disposition. The bungalow has gas central heating so it’s warm and comfortable in every room. The location is best suited for those who have their own transport but even if you don’t, both the beach and the local shops are only a short walk away. The bungalow has a lovely garden both at the front and back, with some sloping steps leading up to the property. Whilst these would not be suitable for wheelchair users, my 86-year-old mum with limited mobility had no problem getting up or down. I would recommend the Pink Bungalow to anyone planning a holiday in the Torbay area as it really does have everything you need, and is in a perfect location to explore the English Riviera.

we had a fantastic stay in devon. the accomodation was faultless and it felt like we were staying in a lovely hotel. it was exceptionally well equipped with beautiful furnishings and quality finishes. it was a very good size with everything required for a comfortable stay. the location was perfect, close to everything we needed and quiet enough to get a good rest whilst away. the communication with the team was fantastic and they were really friendly and exceptionally well organised. it was brilliant that there was a keysafe at the property. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to friends and family of all ages due to its versatility. we would definately return in the future.

Can't rate it highly enough,it was that good,lovely welcome,superb room with outstanding unspoiled views.can't wait to go back.

Excellent booking over the internet.

Arrival documentation good and all questions answered before stay.

Would recommend this company

We had a wonderful, Summer holiday as an extended family at Hawks Cay, Shaldon. Our ages ranged from 9 to 79. The house was superb for our needs both as far as accommodation was conerned and the high standards of the property - beautifully clean and maintained. We also appreciated the luxurious, stylish design and finish to the house making our stay there feel like a treat. The boys (9 and 11) enjoyed the Devon edition of Monopoly - they played it on and off all week along with the other games and loved the 3D TV experience along with the ice making machine on the fridge - as did the adults! We all loved sitting in the pretty courtyard, popping out to the local shops especially the Yummy Shop opposite and enjoying the local restaurants. The friendly, seaside feel of the village was fun, vibrant and very picturesque. We were very well looked after by James and Karen who left us several jugs of gorgeous fresh flowers and who were a tremendous help to us. There was a magnificent sponge cake awaiting us and other goodies too! Lovely comfty beds - pure luxury!.. I could go on!..... In summary a wonderful holiday in a very special place! We wish we'd had longer as there was so much to see and do so we will have to return. Thank you all who were a part of creating it!

This was our second year of visit and it was even better than the first one!We stayed for a week at the highest level of the condom and the view from our balcony was simply breathtaking!The rooms are very spacious and spotlessly clean, beautiful pool area, friendly staff. We will definately stay next year here as well!!!
