"Lovely property."
Great location, we had 3 generations staying and had lots of space for everyone to enjoy a great break.
The view isn't fantastic as it does overlook a static caravan park but it really wasn't an issue, there was no noise and it didn't impact us at all. A really short walk to the beach and local footpaths meant that we could enjoy amazing views, the beach and the local area.
We would recommend staying.

"Beautiful property with good modern facilities."
Great position for walking and the beach. Master bedroom mattress badly stained probably in need of a topper for protection. The rubbish recycling situation was not at all clear but appeared the same for all properties. The general bin area was a bit of a let down as it was chaotic and most unhealthy. The roads to the property were challenging and didn't encourage day tripping but were not an insurmountable problem.
Generally we had a most enjoyable stay and enjoyed the local area and position. We would certainly book again.

"The view is a mobile home park."
Sea maybe from the roof terrace.
Be aware there is a 3+ mile drive down very narrow lanes to get to property.
Eating out ( apart from fish + chips) is a drive through those lanes.
Supermarket shopping is a long way, suggest you order online BEFORE you leave to get a slot if you want a delivery. The place was great especially if you like walking ,surfing. I think a picture from the main window would be an honest view of what would be seen, be it not the best promotional picture.

"A beautiful property, with all the facilities you need."
It was very clean and well laid out. It’s a few minutes walk to the beach and dog friendly. Lots to do and see in this area and a trip to the Lobster pod bistro at Hope Cove a must.

"We had a winter trip to this wonderful holiday home so the country lane leading to it was quiet, I imagine in the summer months it would be a challenge."
The heating and light all on for us as it was a 5pm joining time, a lovely touch to find a welcome pack of chilled Prosecco & nibbles made it feel special .

"Absolutely loved the house, and the location was great."
one suggestion we have is to put a bench or something outside, near the door. We went to the beach everyday, and it would have been useful to have somewhere to sit while taking off wetsuits, wet shoes, muddy boots etc. A stiff broom, and/or an outdoor hose would have been helpful to keep that part of the drive way clean from gravel, sand, mud etc.!

"This is a wonderful holiday house to stay in provided you are happy staying local."
It is not a destination to use as a base for touring as the narrow single track lanes to get anywhere would make it very frustrating. Beautiful local walks and the beach is just a few steps away which dogs can play on after 1st October. We ordered a supermarket delivery to bring our groceries as there is only one little shop. We loved it!

"Lovely spacious property close to beach and good views across countryside."
Even though it was October we were able to make use of the roof top garden which was great. It can be problematic getting in and out of Challborough as roads are narrow but countryside around is gorgeous. Good communication with owner. Only issue was some of the staining of some chairs and sofa but this has to be expected at end of season. Overall we had a lovely stay.

Tastefully decorated, spacious, clean and very comfortable (especially the beds - good quality mattresses). Owners are extremely helpful and answered queries quickly. I would highly recommend this property which is in a perfect location and only a few steps from the beach. 10/10 ⭐️

"Stunning property."
We all really enjoyed our stay at 5 Beachdown. Just a shame the weather wasn’t warmer so we could enjoy the lovely rooftop area more. Plenty to do and see in the area. Just be aware, if you have a four-legged friend with you, a lot of beaches restrict access from 1st May, including Challaborough, or the areas you are allowed are quite small due to them mainly being coves. As others have mentioned, the lanes are very narrow in places but we didn’t have too much of a problem with sensible driving. Would not hesitate to go back.

"This place is amazing!"
Everyone loved it, 5 minute walk to the beach. We done so many long walks up the very steep hills and was very good for exercise. All the facilities were good. Met all out needs. Big Tesco is a 20 minute drive which isn’t too bad. Nothing but praise for this place. Price was really good! Will definitely be coming back again

"We really enjoyed our stay at 5 Beachdown."
The beach is 2 minutes walk away, while Bigbury-on-Sea is a 15 stroll over the hill which then gives you an opportunity to walk over to the island at low tide a must for the spectacular views.
If you like kayaking this is the perfect base we went all around the island in and out of the rocks. My son managed to bodyboard one day but other than that the sea was very calm although it is a well known surf area.
As regards the property it was excellent the bedrooms are huge and the open plan living area and underfloor heating was cosy!
The only minor thing we picked up on was that the filters in the vacuum cleaner could do with replacing we like to keep on top of the high standards the place has but the smell of the vacuum cleaner let it down, same with clothes dryer the filters would benefit from a clean.
Overall an excellent place to have a relaxing holiday if you love just mulling around the beach and Creation nearby.

"A lovely to place to have a get together with family and the beach is so close by."
The only thing I would say is that the fridge is far too small for 8 people. It would be useful to have an additional fridge for drinks perhaps. The Fryer Tucks fish and chip shop by the beach did an excellent take away for us all one evening - highly recommended.

"The key code you gave us was incorrect ."
Fortunately the owner warned us it may have not been updated so we were okay, if he had not then it would have been very frustrating as there is no phone reception there. A star for the owner but a failure on someone’s behalf.
This is the fourth time to Beach down we love it and great owners too. We will return next year as the house and location is perfect although the narrow lanes to access it are a bit scary and beware your car will have Light verge scratches but it doesn’t put us off. The house is modern and airy and the welcome gift is really appreciated. A small beach is a few minutes walk away which is ideal when you have children. My view is 5 stars.

"A fabulous new property which is accurately represented by the photos."
A very well stocked kitchen with all the equipment you could possibly need. We stayed in early April, so the weather wasn't warm enough to take much advantage of the outdoor dining area or roof terrace, but I'm sure both would be great in summer. A great location for walks along the coastal path and some stunning views. The settlement is quite remote and approached along some steep and winding country lanes and it's some distance to a large supermarket - although there is a NISA very nearby and at least one supermarket chain delivers.
Overall can highly recommend the property

"Overall 5 Beachdown was an excellent holiday rental for our family."
However the first impressions of the site was not great. Your email sent 4 / 05 / 18 indicated that there was maintenance work progressing on site, when in fact there is construction of two additional properties in progress. This did not worry us other than the entrance and road is a bit rough. On reaching the property, again the first impressions were a little disappointing in that there are a number of weeds on the drive / parking area that really should be attended too and the front entrance needs a clean up. Internally the property was excellent and very well equipped, however the stair carpet could use a good clean as it was badly marked where I guess previous renters have spilled drinks carried down to the bedrooms and also the bathroom towels are a bit on the small side for anyone who has a large area to dry, but this is being picky. The location is great, the local shop well stocked and the beach lived up to expectation.
