Mrs Calver
October 2020

“Our only problem was the room with bunk beds which could not be used by adults.”

This left us one bedroom short for our party. Despite that the house was excellent, clean, very well appointed, light, airy and comfortable. Beautiful location.

“Estuary house was really super.”

The house has a beautiful view over the estuary and lovely walks. The village is really pretty and quiet. The house has lots of room to spread out and is really well equipped. We will definitely be going back again.

Mrs Pemberton August 2020

“Great holiday house that is bright and spacious.”

Loved the location and the every changing tidal creek with the use of the canoe. Would be useful to have info book there to suggest good places to visit, pubs and restaurants etc. Slight musty smell to house at times, heating may correct this but not practical in August.

- Mrs Pemberton, August 2020

We are so pleased that you had a lovely time at Estuary House. Many thanks for sharing your valuable feedback in respect of your stay. Your positive views are particularly appreciated. We are delighted that you enjoyed your time exploring the Creek with the use of the canoe provided and do hope you chose to stay with us again soon. Sykes owner relations

“We had a wonderful holiday in this light bright sunny house” It was fantastic having two separate kitchens, which were well equipped.”

The extra parking spaces were brilliant. We appreciated the extras; Canadian canoe, life jackets and crab buckets plus the public slip way being so near for us to launch our paddle boards. We had lots of fun in the canoe at high tide and our dog loved the welcome treats and blanket!

Mr Mcdonald August 2019

“Generally the house and facilities were excellent and as advertised.”

There were however a couple of issues :- 1. Both fridge doors in the upstairs kitchen need repair as they do not stay closed. 2.There is intermittently no hot water in the mornings and it is impossible to ignite the boiler. 3.We replaced the main bulb in the downstairs kitchen at a cost of £10. As there is no mobile coverage in the area it is difficult to call the caretaker.

- Mr Mcdonald, August 2019

Many thanks for sharing your valuable feedback in respect of you stay at Estuary House. Your positive view that you found the house and facilities excellent and are particularly appreciated. We were sorry to hear the issues with the fridges and hot water. The Estuary House Welcome brochure does request that guests report any problems to the caretaker during your stay so that replacement or repair can be organised (the two integrated fridges have since been replaced) The brochure also contains guidance for the domestic hot water supply with additional notices in all the bathrooms. Unfortunately, as in any rural location, mobile phone signals can be variable depending on your provider. We hope that despite the issues raised you had an enjoyable time exploring the beautiful South Hams and do hope you chose to stay with us again soon. Sykes owner relations

“South Pool is just lovely.”

A tranquil setting with very little traffic. We enjoyed visiting the Millbrook Inn where the food was delicious and the staff and locals friendly and welcoming.

Mrs Eaves December 2018

“The house was ideally located, loads of parking - we loved the friendly pub.”

One day the shower wasn't working on the ground floor. We rang the Caretaker and it was fixed on our return home. The house was lovely and suited our party of 7 Adults and 1 Teenager. The only issue was that there were only two sofas upstairs, so in the evening, some of us had to sit on dinning room chairs. Overall we had a wonderful Christmas stay at Estuary House.

“4.5 stars - house well positioned on edge of Southpool Estuary/creek and a brilliant way to introduce small children to water and boating - tides permitting.”

Split level accommodation excellent for the needs of three families of various ages. Well set up for children incl DVD! We appreciated extras ie Canadian canoe + lift jackets and a nearby public slipway to launch our dinghy. NB may need a gate across path at the top left of house beyond washing line to stop any wayward (not ours!) children getting out to front unnoticed.

NICOLA Jul 2016

“Estuary House is a modern 5 bedroom house in a really good location.”

It was well stocked and had lovely views of the surrounding countryside and the river when the tide was in. The kids loved the canoe that they could use to paddle in the river. When an issue arose with the wifi connection and a power cut, this was fixed very quickly by the local caretaker.

“The house was in a good location unfortunately the interior of the property was not as good as others I have previously rented, for example broken tiles in the conservatory, no explanation re the heating/towel rails etc.”

paintwork not finished. The bathrooms are a little dated also, carpets not clean and general cleanliness could have been better.
