"This property is a recent quality refurbishment with a beautiful ‘seaside’ interior."
It is exceptionally clean & generally well-presented.
The property is headlined as a ‘cottage’. It is actually a 3-storey maisonette on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd floors of a 4-storey terraced house. It is described as having 5 bedrooms - we could only find 4. That is adequate for 7 people but there are only 6 dining chairs at the table.
It has an unusual layout. The only toilet for general use is in the only bathroom, situated down 1 floor from the bedroom floor, and accessed through the kitchen.
We like to self-cater but the kitchen lacked some basic equipment: medium saucepans, kitchen roll, etc. A teapot would be nice.
There is full central heating, but it is controlled remotely by the owner via Hive or similar. If you return back from a long day walking the coast path, cold & wet-through from wind, rain & hailstorms (as we did one day), you need to have a warm house. This can only be achieved by contacting the local manager, who then contacts the owner, who relays a message back to us via the manager! This is very unsatisfactory & needs to be changed.
Having said all this, it is reasonably priced & situated in an excellent location in the middle of town with a handy car park opposite.
Dear Mrs Hine
Many thanks for taking the time to review our property in lovely Teignmouth
We have noted your comments and will certainly make amendments where necessary.
With regard to the property being described as a ‘cottage’ and stating 5 bedrooms, as per the property information on Sykes website, it does state ‘3 storey apartment in Teignmouth’ and does advise there are four bedrooms. Perhaps you could let Sykes customer service team know where you have seen a description elsewhere that may not be accurate, thank you.
Our central heating system is controlled remotely and this has proved satisfactory to our guests and is always adjusted promptly if requests received to increase/decrease temperatures. I note it was a cold/wet day and apologies if the 10/15 minutes it took to boost the temperature was not satisfactory. We will look at improving this of course
Indeed a teapot is a requirement and I will replace the one that was there previously, it appears to have disappeared.
Once again, many thanks for your review and we hope to welcome you back again to Sea Otter house where a teapot will be waiting for you!
Kindest regards to you and your guests

"What a lovely house."
Right in the middle of beaches and places to eat and drink,
Plenty of space for 6 of us plus dog. Nice to have everything in walking distance but really quiet outside. Enjoyable few days had by all

"Thanks for the stay."
.We put bins out tues but only recycling taken.
Blind has clearly been an issue. Similar at my house needed plasterboard off and wood to fill void to allow heavy attachment. Special tool to attach to lintel
Dear Mr Taylor,
Thank you for your review and comments
Our apologies regarding the blind however we received a message from you to say you had a temporary fix which you could live with for the week and would let us know if this fix did not work. Had we known it had become an issue we would of course have sent our builder to sort for you.
We do hope you enjoyed your stay with us despite the issue and we look forward to welcoming you back to Sea Otter house

"We had a wonderful stay at Sea Otter House; it’s a stone’s throw from both beaches and the town, and the house itself was clean, spacious, bright and modern."
I’m always grateful for a well-stocked kitchen utensil drawer and plenty of decent tableware!
The loft room stairs are v steep but a door at the bottom of them would prevent little ones from attempting to go up them (my 5yo was able to navigate them supervised without much difficulty).
A suggestion: the toilet in the loft was a welcome second loo in the property but a bamboo screen in front of it might be a useful addition to the room!
Dear Mrs Eckersley,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I am so glad you and your family enjoyed staying in our lovely Sea Otter House and in Teignmouth too!
Thank you for your suggestion for the Sail loft, a great idea and I will definitely look into this.
We look forward to welcoming you again soon
All the best, Sandy

"I had the benefit of staying in both properties, this one and the one bedroom flat below."
The location is an easy walk from the train station and very close to the seafront. They're both a good size and recently refurbished to a high standard. I really enjoyed the open plan 1st floor and the light from the large windows at the front of the house.
I would recommend paying attention to the owners' comments on space constraints and accessibility as this could affect your enjoyment of the property.
There didn't appear to be a microwave or hairdryer in either property. This didn't affect my stay but is something to bear in mind.
Dear Ms Ingram,
Many thanks for the feedback and comments.
We are glad you had an overall enjoyable stay and will certainly action your suggestions.
We look forward to welcoming you to Sea Otter House again!
