About this property

Lovely, comfortable apartment In Branscombe, Devon close to beach

A lovely, light and airy, ground floor apartment, superbly equipped with everything you need, in a block of 4, situated in the village square, close to the beach and coastal footpath. Sleeps 2- 4 people in comfort.
A perfect place in the centre of the beautiful village of Branscombe for a peaceful and relaxing holiday and an ideal base for exploring this wonderful area of East Devon and the Jurassic Coast.
Due to the challenging circumstances of CV19, the apartment will be thoroughly cleaned between guests and all hard surfaces wiped down. The countryside is excellent for walks with minimal social interaction and the apartment is well equipped for self catering.
The quiet, unspoilt beach is a 5 minute stroll away alongside a stream, with just one thatched roof cafe, with outside seating area, serving delightful home cooked food. Fishing trips are available from the fishing village of Beer, 3 miles away. There is a real ale pub close by, also with an outside eating area.
This lovely Devon holiday accommodation consists of an entrance hall leading to a spacious, tastefully furnished sitting room with separate dining area, seating up to eight people. The kitchen is very well equipped for those of you who like to do your own cooking. The sleeping accommodation consists of a comfortable double bedroom and a second bedroom with bunk beds. There is a bathroom with an electric shower over the bath. We often stay at the apartment ourselves and have made sure that it is thoughtfully furnished with everything you need to make your holiday thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing. It is also very competitively priced in this much sought after holiday area.

Clean, quiet flat with lots to do in surrounding area
The property was clean, quiet and had everything we needed for a lovely stay. There are lots of things to do in the local area, such as Beer Pecorama, the Donkey Sanctuary Sidmouth, Seaton Tramway and Beer Quarry Caves We also visited both Branscombe and Beer beaches, as well as walking sections of the South West coast path. We had a great week and were very sorry to leave!

Disappointing
The first thing we noticed was that the flat was cold and damp as all the heaters were turned off, we did manage to warm up and dry it out but it took a while. Second was that the crockery, cutlery, pots and pans were all dirty so we had to wash everything we wanted to use before using it. Thirdly, the landline for incoming calls that was supposed to be available was no where to be seen although the screws to mount it on the wall were there. Finally and of greatest concern was the smoke alarm, someone had removed the battery and put it on top of the door frame but we had no way of putting it back in as we both have mobility issues so couldn't climb on a chair. All in all it was an uncomfortable week, the flat needs several repairs doing and a good clean at a minimum but would benefit massively if it were updated. As it was I had to oil the door locks to prevent us from being locked out/in. I'm happy to provide a detailed list of the things that need attention to the property manager if it helps.

About the host

Hosted by Miss Jean Parker

Host profile image
We live in Yorkshire but have a large extended family in Devon and miss being able to be near them, so we have the apartment as a foothold in Devon. We let it out when we are not visiting and like to keep it nice and welcoming for our visitors..

Why they chose this property

We stayed here for a holiday and liked it so much we inquired about whether it might be for sale and it was! We bought it the same day as the famous wrecking of the Napoli off the coast nearby in the winter of 2007. Not a good start at the time!

What makes this property unique

Such a beautiful area and very unspoilt. Reviews from our guests often talk about finding a 'hidden jewel' in Devon. We never tire of the fantastic and varied walks around the village and over the cliffs on the coastal footpath. The views are stunning and we always manage to find new walks we have never been on before.
