Maceley

My wife and I, my son, daughter in law and two granddaughters stayed at Maceley for a week.

On the whole we had a very pleasant stay. It is a nice property in a good central location, close to all that Kingsbridge has to offer and easy to get to Dartmouth, Salcombe etc. We did however have a few minor issues. On arrival we found that the downstairs bedroom had not been cleaned and the carpet was covered in dog hairs and therefore the room smelled. This was soon remedied with a good vacuum and opening the window. The wardrobe in that room is very small. There were no extra liners for the kitchen bin and if you want to use the bbq there are no utensils provided. On the plus side, the garden is lovely, with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside and is very peaceful.

The four of us enjoyed our week at Maceley.

The property was well equipped, and very clean. We enjoyed having breakfast in the lovely garden, as well as the occasional dinner, when we weren’t eating out. It’s a short walk to a couple of decent pubs (The Crabshell, and the Seven Stars), so very convenient. Our only negative comments are regarding the inadequate and slightly stained, shower curtain downstairs, and having stayed during a very warm week, the lack of opening windows (bathrooms, landing, and bedrooms) it was difficult to get a decent flow of fresh air through the property at night. All in all, a very enjoyable stay, and would be happy to book again, if we visit the area in future.

Absolutely loved it here, would recommend to others and indeed stay again ourselves.

The property, the garden, the balcony, the view, the location, etc are all fantastic and the only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because of minor issues relating to the less than ideal shower curtains and the lack of detail for recycling rubbish. But I have to stress and reiterate, we absolutely loved this property thank you!

Excellent spacious modern property in a good location

First and foremost this is a lovely property, in a great location to visit the area.

Light and airy with easy parking, and a lovely, secure dog-friendly garden. The beds were supremely comfortable and the property is well presented. However, we were very disappointed with the showers. Upstairs, over the bath, the shower is at the sloping end of the bath and the water pressure isn’t great. Consequently, you can’t get close enough to the shower, to use it properly. Also, the shower curtain sucks in and clings to you. The downstairs shower is small and again, has a shower curtain which sucks in and gives very little room. Because there is no proper screen, water splashes off the shower tray and covers the floor. We had to mop every time we used the shower. Very irritating. Also, storage in bathrooms was very limited. All in all we enjoyed our stay, such a shame about the bathrooms. There were only two of us staying, in our opinion, it would have been tricky with more guests.

Everything you could need, very spacious, with a dog secure garden so we could relax outside.

The property was located on a hill which made it difficult to walk into town as my partner has a heart condition but it would not be an issue for others. Would definitely book again which is perhaps the best indication of how pleased we were with the holiday.

I must admit I had slight appreciation due to there being no reviews when I booked earlier in the year, but thankfully Maceley turned out to be a fabulous base for us.

The rooms are tastefully furnished (as advertised). There are 3 separate floors, our son and his girlfriend had the ground floor (which gave them their own space) with their room and shower room. On the first floor was the large open plan family room consisting of the kitchen, huge dining table and the lounge area with ample comfortable seating. Upstairs again we had the master bedroom, and next door was the room with single beds, and a shared a bathroom. It was a shame that the weather wasn’t nice enough for us to chill in the enclosed garden (again as advertised). Enjoyed our short walk down to the estuary and into town. Thoroughly recommend Maceley to anyone wanting to stay in South Devon. Five stars

Lovely property, perfect for relaxing.

Very convenient location for exploring the surrounding areas and Kingsbridge. Lovely pub just down the road looking out to the estuary and plenty of eating options in Kingsbridge , Mangetout perfect for lunch or a coffee, Crabshell & Seven Stars both served good pub food and scrumpy fish & chips from The Codfather. Would thoroughly recommend.

Very nice house and garden.

Great location. We had a lovely holiday.
