    Nothing not to like

    Everything you could need was there.the cream tea topped it off after a 4hr train journey there,so we plonked ourselves on the settee and enjoyed it.owners went all out to help you feel welcomed.my mother wants to go back next year,even though her walking is not very good and with the bus stops just outside it was convenient for her.we had a lovely week stay

    Just don’t expect to be near a sandy beach. The name of the property and the ‘stone’s throw’ are a bit misleading, if that is important to you.

    The little house is lovely, everything nice, comfortable, well-equipped. Wasn’t expecting the delicious cream tea. Very pleased, the best of seven places I stayed on this trip.

    No hob or oven but is to be expected with the size of the place

    Really nice little flat at a perfect location right by the beach, clean and came with everything we needed. Owner was really polite and even rescued our towels after leaving them out in the rain. 100% will stay again.

    It was lovely to be greeted by a cheerful hostess when we arrived and she treated us to a lovely cream tea. The accommodation was very clean and it's location is perfect.

    Add more comfy chairs. It was particularly cold this week and so an extra heater would be desirable for such weeks.

    Clean, good location, good host, had everything we needed for a short weekend break.

    We absolutely loved our stay at The Studio! We can’t wait to return. It was perfect from the moment we arrived. Donna greeted us and showed us the key had been left in the door and that she had very kindly left a cream tea for us in the fridge. This was such a welcome treat after our journey. We unpacked and let our doggies in and enjoyed our cream tea alongside a great choice of teas and coffees available. The Studio is beautifully decorated with a modern and clean feel. Donna has thought of everything to make your stay as convenient as possible. I had forgotten my phone charger plug and the lamp had USB ports, so allowed me to charge my phone. Donna has carefully created her own guidebook with great recommendations about local places to visit or eat. We loved the decor and thought the picture of nearby Holcombe beach was a great connection to the local landscape. There is everything you could wish for with a great selection of books including history of local stories and things to do around the area. A great choice to relax with, I sat out on the patio table with a coffee and read through a couple of books. There were also very thoughtful comforts provided such as hand creams and pillow spray to make your stay extra special. The bed was very comfy and we had such a relaxing stay. Donna is very knowledgable and approachable. She was on hand to ask for advice and tips, and was very responsive providing great recommendations. We look forward to future super comfy and enjoyable stays in The Studio! A huge thank you Donna for such a relaxing and refreshing stay by the sea and allowing us to stay in The Beautiful Studio in your lovely garden ☺️🤩

    We stayed one night, and the room was comfortable enough. Could of had a couch . We enjoyed walking to Tainmouth along the beach. We also went to Smugglers Inn for a fantastic carvery.

    The room was big and comfortable. There was a smart TV. The host gave us scones and clotted cream

    I didn't know there wasn't going to be a stove, but it really didn't matter as I microwaved my dinner.

    The cosy electric fire, THE SCONES on arrival, how attentive the hosts were, how close it was to the water.

    The blinds were a bit dusty and maybe there could of been a small table for eating at inside the apartment, we were lucky with the weather.

    Everything was more than we expected, attention to detail was excellent, location and views were exceptional and a short distance from everything, nothing was too much of a ask, the homemade scones were a lovely touch, we will definitely be coming back
