“Pebble lodge could be a very beautiful home, unfortunately for us the second we stepped in the door the smell of stale cigarettes hit you in the face.”

We had put on our booking that there was 6 of us in our party, we found that the room with the day bed and pull out bed had no bedding. Two of my children had to sleep on the mattress protectors that was on both mattress with what I can only describe as a paper thin duvet that are both covered in stains on top of them. The cobwebs in all the rooms had cobwebs on top of them! The thick layers of dust, dirt, empty packets that were under the units and sofas was disgusting. There is clearly a leak ...

The cobwebs in all the rooms had cobwebs on top of them! The thick layers of dust, dirt, empty packets that were under the units and sofas was disgusting. There is clearly a leak from the upstairs bathroom into the below bedroom which smells of damp. The toaster had a family of live slugs living underneath it and the downstairs shower had a family of beetles!! The washing machine leaked all over the kitchen floor on the first use because the filter was so blocked and the thick layer of dirt around the rubber of the door was vile, along with the mould that had accumulated on the front of the machine. Only bonus was the kitchen floor had a wash! I really don’t think this, what could be a stunning property has been cleaned properly for a very long time! It needs some serious maintenance and a massive deep clean, the views from the house are stunning it’s just a shame the cleaners and maintenance are massively letting it down otherwise I would definitely stay there again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear about the experience you had at Pebble Lodge, and I completely understand how disappointing this must have been for you and your family. What you’ve described falls far below the standards we expect for the property, and I want to assure you that your comments have been taken extremely seriously. The issues you raised — including the smell of smoke, missing bedding, cleanliness concerns, and maintenance problems — are unacceptable, and if you had raised them during your stay we would have taken immediate steps to rectify them as best we could. The comments about smoking deeply concerned us as the property is a no smoking property and all guests are made aware of this. Since receiving your review, we have: Arranged a full deep clean of the entire property Revised our process for bedding for the day bed – we had left bedding out for you to use which it sounds like you missed. Some guests prefer to use this as a sofa bed – in future we will ensure the bed is fully made up Brought in our maintenance team to investigate and repair the leak you mentioned Serviced and cleaned the washing machine and kitchen appliances Reviewed our cleaning procedures with the team to prevent a repeat of the cleanliness issues you encountered Pebble Lodge is a property we take pride in, and it’s clear that on this occasion we fell short. I’m grateful that you highlighted the potential of the home and the beautiful views, and I hope that with the improvements now in place, we can restore confidence in the experience we aim to provide for future guests.

“Just returned from a week stay at Pebble Cottage.”

The location of the property is perfect if you are wanting to be close by the sea which was ideal for us but the cleanliness and facilities were not upto scratch. The cleaners have majorly let down this house and was absolutely disgusting to walk into. The smell from the dirty wet bin, full hoover and dead flys in the entrance is not want you want to meet when arriving. The rear 1st level garden is not safe and the mouldy swinging chair needs to be binned, no one should sit on that. The washing machine and showers were covered in mould and filthy! Feel extremely let down that we went on a relaxing holiday and we had to go out and buy our own cleaning products to clean the house. House is very dated and could do with a general freshen up as parts of the property where very run down and not safe for children. To top it off, to arrive to unmade beds and have to make our own beds to sleep in, was a very kind gesture...not! Definitely needs looking into asap!!

- Hayley, August 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that your stay at Pebble Cottage did not meet the standard you expected, and I completely understand how disappointing it must have been to arrive to the issues you described. The cleanliness concerns you raised — including the condition of the bin, hoover, entrance area, washing machine, showers, and the unmade beds — are unacceptable and far below the standard we expect for the property. If we'd have been made aware of the issues raised during your stay we would have taken immediate steps to rectify them for you. I also appreciate you highlighting the concerns in the garden and the condition of the outdoor furniture. You should never have felt the need to clean the property yourselves, especially when you were hoping for a relaxing break. Since receiving your review, we have taken the following actions: Arranged a full deep clean of the entire property, including all appliances and bathrooms Replaced the outdoor swinging chair and inspected the garden area to ensure it is safe and usable Reviewed and updated our cleaning procedures with the team to prevent a repeat of the issues you encountered Ensured all beds are properly prepared before guest arrival, with checks added to our pre‑arrival process Pebble Cottage is in a beautiful location, and it’s important to us that the property reflects that. I’m grateful you brought these matters to our attention so we can put things right. Property Owner

“This was a beautiful property to stay in and was perfect for our family.”

Everything was clean and well managed, the beds were so comfortable. The property wouldn't suit someone with mobility issues, but it worked for us and we had a great time. Would highly recommend. Lovely quiet area and beautiful views

S July 2025

“This is a deceptively spacious house with comfortable beds and furniture.”

The pictures do not do it justice. The games room was fun. The power showers worked well and the kitchen had quality appliances. Would be better if there was a dryer or washing line, more cutlery and a bench and table on the first level of the terrace; instead of the swing seat. Would return as it was in a great location to visit that coastline.

Would be happy to return but in the height of season for better weather.

“We had a wonderful week in Pebble Lodge at the end of August 2024.”

The house is lovely for families and the facilities are ideal. The games room at the back of the garden adds that extra touch which the children(and big children!) loved... the only issue being that the TV screen wasn't working which prevented the use of the Xbox but the arcade machines more than made up for this. All in all a fantastic stay that we would love to repeat. An added thank you to the owners for allowing us to delay our check out whilst we waited for the 'awful AA' to arrive to fix our car!

- Jon, August 2024
Liz August 2024

“Thank you for sharing your home with us.”

We greatly enjoyed our stay. It was especially great to have so many bathrooms! The accommodation was spacious and a welcoming.

Robert July 2024

“Generally a quality stay, a couple of points which we raised last week one being the upstairs shower leaking from the screen opposite the shower head and through the door.”

We were contacted by the plumber the next day but we were out and had the key with us so he couldn't get in but no matter it didn't spoil our stay. The only other thing of note was when we arrived we found the bath and window cill to contain several spiders and webs so it wasn't cleaned before we arrived. So we just cleaned it ourselves if this had been the trend then we would have complained but everything else was very clean so we took this small issue to be an oversight..really enjoyed our stay, very comfortable, quiet and well equipped with lovely views of the sea and Brixham plus the surrounding countryside..plenty of places to eat and visit for days out including goodrington sands and broadsands beaches plus Torquay, babbacombe etc etc...the week certainly flew by wouldn't hesitate to book again it certainly pleased the grand kids and my wife so alls well...

Beckie June 2024

“Pebble lodge was fantastic for our stay, to wake up each morning to the view across Paignton was amazing.”

The house was the perfect size and had everything we needed, although a dvd player would have been nice. We loved the air hocky table and pac man machine. Off street parking was also a plus and I wouldnt hesitate to book again. Also thank you to however took the bins out, that was confusing!

Alexandra May 2024

“Had a lovely relaxing stay, great house, amazing views, plenty of room for the four of us, there are steps up to the property and to the back, so not suitable for those with mobility problems, but because it is situated high up, the views are spectacular.”

Just a couple of minor issues, creaky bed in twin room, TV not working in Games room, loose towel and toilet roll holders in shower room, but didn't detract from a great Holiday.

- Alexandra, May 2024

Thankyou for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay Apologies about the 'Squeaky bed' we will definitely look at this and the loose towel rail and toilet roll holders - there is nothing more annoying than these things - Apologies on this Regarding the TV - all you needed to do was hold the power button for longer - but you should have said we would have let you know or our cleaner.

“We have just returned from Pebble Lodge after a week’s stay with our boys (15 & 10) and have loved every minute of it!”

The house is beautifully presented and clean. The beds were comfortable, the heating easy to use and more than warm enough for us. The wifi was brilliant - helpful as we took their PlayStations in the vain hope of having some quiet time, but actually we were in the games room every night having Mortal Kombat and air hockey tournaments! Having a fridge in there is a great idea as my husband was able to keep some beers cold for the long evenings pretending he wasn’t getting hammered at air hockey by a 10 year old. I took advantage of the sofa in the porch, the free books and one of the cosy blankets to have some quiet time looking out over Paignton and the Devon hills. My youngest son took advantage of his en suite and bathed daily. Something that’s impossible to make him do at home! My eldest son slept on the day bed and appreciated being able to lock the doors (he shares with his brother at home) as it was so comfortable and private for him. The kitchen was beautiful and very well stocked. As we haven’t got a dishwasher at home, my husband loved using it and it saved us arguments every day! A note about the steps - yes there are some leading up to the front of the house and there’s no handrail but they are shallow and even me & my dodgy hip didn’t have a problem. The steeper ones in the back garden have handrails and none of us had even a slight slip. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here and will happily come back again.

“What an absolute gem of a find!”

Great location, only a 30minute walk to the seafront! Yes it's up a hill and has steps but that was clearly noted in the description. Lovely clean rooms with lovely decor, well equipped kitchen and was great to have a washing machine and dishwasher! The main bathroom had a fabulous shower and again was lovely and clean, the taps and toilet roll holder need a little tightening but it wasn't a problem. The twin room had a lovely bath (if you need the plug it's neatly pushed in to overflow.....i was not quick on the ball finding that

- Luke, December 2023

Thanks so much for feedback - we have now instructed our maintenance guy to tighten those taps! we are pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner
Lisa September 2023

“Lovely property, fabulous view of Paignton.”

Kitchen well equipped. Beds are very comfy. Very clean and tidy. Steps up to the property could do with hand rails though. A home from home. Would definitely recommend if you can manage 10 to 12 steps without needing to hold on to rails.

- Lisa, September 2023

Thanks for your feedback noted about the handrail - we will look to improve further glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

Russell August 2023

“The house was clean except we found odd bits of clothing under units/bed presumably from a previous guest .”

The games room was good and useful for the 8 year old in our group . The kitchen could be better equipped, for example there were no kitchen scales, measuring jug or sieve. Also only 6 dinner, side plates and bowls, okay for one meal but we were trying to only put the dishwasher on once a day. Information about rubbish day would have been helpful. Great views from the property due to its position up the hill. Too far (and hilly) for us to walk to the beach but Paignton is a great place and near so many places. We enjoyed our stay.

- Russell, August 2023

Thanks for your feedback! We will relay your comments to the cleaner. If you had let us know at the time we would have asked them to do a full clean. We ensured that that kitchen was well equipped every season and unfortunately there were plates missing - we will get these replaced asap. We are also given a check list from Sykes on kitchen equipment - scales unfortunately are not on there but we will look at putting them in next season. Glad you enjoyed your stay!

“On arriving at Pebble Lodge, parking was difficult due to how neighbouring cars had parked and the parking space provided was not great.”

On entering the property, initial impressions were ok, however the inner patio door atvthe entrance had no locking mechanism which was a bit concerning and when we sat on the sofa we could see thick dust, crumbs and rubbish under the arm chairs, under the sofa and the beds were the same. The drain next to the back door was blocked which had caused a large puddle, I unblocked the drain, as it was full of moss. The stairs at the front and rear of the property were very wet due to the rain which made them very slippery as they have been painted in a glossy paint with no gritty texture or grip strip's to make them slip proof, some interior bathroom grab rails had been put up in some places at the rear, this looked very bodged and put us off using the rear garden if the weather had have allowed it. The games room was not worth the effort or risk of climbing the stairs, the xbox controller wasn't working, so we couldn't use the xbox, the air hockey machine didn't keep score, which was frustrating so we only used this room once. The kitchen hob was dirty and needed cleaning before I could cook, there were not enough pans and trays for me to cook a meal as I would at home, which was a minor inconvenience , the owner should consider a few extra pans and cooking trays, especially as the oven is such a big one. The oven was fantastic though and made the perfect roast potatoes and pot roasted lamb. The upper kitchen cupboards on one side of the kitchen stuck out as far as the worksurface and we did hit our heads on them a few times when using that surface. The kitchen did look very nice and had everything else that we needed. The worst thing for us was that only some of the radiators were working and as it rained everyday we needed to dry our washing, there was only one airer provided at the property and when we turned the heating up to help dry the washing, the boiler stopped working leaving us with no hot water or heating. The handy man came out and switched the heating off and the water on so we had hot water but no heating, but we weren't told the heating was switched off with mo way of us being able to turn it back on until I contacted the property manager and sykes which was very upsetting for us after being out in the rain all day. Our washing was not drying and stunk of damp so we decided to leave a day early to take our damp washing home to re wash and dry. I only just finished the loads of washing yesterday afternoon, luckily the stink of damp has gone. The neighbouring property was having roofing works done, something we had not be informed of, this spoilt our stay, the noise was awful, there was dust from disc cutting blowing all over us when we walked out of the property, and the tiles had been dangerously stacked on the scaffolding with some falling onto the walkway that we had to use to access the property, other building debris had fallen onto the walkway too. After talking to sykes and the property manager, the boiler was finally properly fixed by a plumber more than 24 hours after we initially contacted them, however the owner feels that turning the heating off the previous day to allow us hot water was reasonable. The boiler was fixed on the Friday morning and we were due to leave the next day, so no way would our washing have dried, and the smell of damp was awful, we would have opened the windows to air the property and help with drying the washing but the windows were locked. My children are asthmatic so the damp washing was not good for them nor was the builders dust, I had explained this but I was told there was nothing anyone could do as the heating was now switched back on, we had waitedvforvthe plumber to come before we left, to ebsure the next guests didn't encounter the same problems tgat we did. The owner apparently wasn't happy that we had turned the heating up in the first place! The owner also said that the building works being carried out were not on his property so not his problem, even though these works were affecting his property. We sent photos of the fallen tiles etc and we explained it was highly likely more tiles would fall, which was another factor in us ending our holiday a day early, as we were not prepared to risk one of us to being injured , yet the owner insisted it wasn't his problem. I found the owners response incredibly unsympathetic, extremely rude and very arrogant as when I asked for a refund for the last two days due to the issues caused, which were certainly not any fault of myself or my family, the response was NO, it wasn't his problem and he wouldn't consider any form of compensation, and if we wanted compensating then we would have to take him to court! The owner didn't even apologise for the issues or try to empathise in anyway. I was so shocked at this rude attitude, we paid good money for our week at his property, we didn't complain about any of the issues until the boiler broke and the slates etc started falling. Sykes and the property manager were very polite and helpful as much as they could be,but ultimately they can only relay what the owner says and have no powers to do anymore. This was an awful end to our holiday and we wouldn't recommend staying at this property to anyone, to the owner I would suggest some lessons in common decency, and trying to see things from your guests view point, how you treat your guests is so important to your future business, word of mouth and honest reviews like this one are what help people decide to stay at your property or not.

- Kelly, July 2023

if anyone has actually read this review (to the end) you will see that most of these issues and problems have been highly exaggerated and there is always two sides to every issue. Im sorry you made complaints two days before you were due to leave - you had our boiler set at 32 degrees at the end of July constantly during your stay (when it was 22 degrees outside?)- which caused our boiler to break down - 5 days constant 24hours at that setting - meant that the boiler had to be replaced which cost a lot of money - we restricted the temperature at 24 degrees to stop the boiler going into cut out mode so you had hot water at least. We responded within a few hours and sent someone to reset the boiler and had a plumber visit the next day (who unfortunately at the time of call was in his training) Also because you had broken the boiler, your whole weeks washing was not dried?? im sorry this was an awful holiday for you but as you can see it was for us as well. we did inform of the emergency building works that happened (due to high winds previously) whether that was passed on was not in our control. If you had an issue with the cleaning and it was that bad you should have let the cleaner know as soon as you entered the building - we changed cleaner last year and have never had a problem since we have changed - we are very empathetic people and would have gone out of our way to put things right - Owners Property Owner
Lee February 2023

“Pebble Lodge was fantastic the view's amazing Everything you could ask for for a lovely holiday away with family or friends Personally I couldn't get the heating to our liking even though easy to adjust I found either to hot or to cold but I'm sure that was me being silly The games room was amazing and my wife and I would escape the kids and their phones on several occasions as view was spectacular plus lovely heater and big TV even a drinks fridge what more can you ask.”

Overall we would love to stay there again. This house had everything however a few issues which didn't effect us like games room door needs adjustment as does not close properly the air hockey table works but has seen better days does not score both sides and legs properly need adjustment and dinning chairs 1 was looking dangerous as looked like had collapsed and someone had tried to glue but had a piece placed upside down didn't effect our visit as we were a five and had 6 chairs that being said the other chairs were looking like probably could do with a little attention. These to me are trivial as whole house is amazing had I had my tools would have done myself as wouldn't have taken anytime at all. The win and believe me we had a Hugh car fit on driveway yes plenty of stairs but we walked several times to seafront you really don't notice stairs after the hills. It's a great house in a fantastic location with superb views well worth a visit

- Lee, February 2023

Lee thanks for your feedback We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Apologies on the heating - we had shut down for the winter this year and you were the first guests - so the heating kicked in on your arrival !

“Disappointed that 1.”

Two big boxes of rubbish were left outside the front door 2. Ten of the fourteen light bulbs in the lounge/dining ares were missing or not working 3. Toilet seat was loose in the general toilet 4. Towel rail was broken in general toilet 5, Pipe to shower head was hanging off the wall 6. Shower head actually fell off when my wife was using the shower These were reported to the housekeeper who sent a handyman round. The property owner might like to consider a hand-rail on the lower part of the steps leading up to the property. The steps are steep and it is difficult when carrying a case.

- John, September 2022

Thanks for the review. I’m so sorry that you had an issue with one of the showers and the towel rail, as we expected, a prompt reply was given by our housekeeper who managed to get a handyman to you straight away to sort the issues out. Also regarding the bins, they were left there as the wind was blowing them up the road so it was deemed the safest place to leave them. Property Owner
David September 2022

“We had a lovely Holiday at Pebble Lodge, the owners warned us about the amount of steps to reach the house, they were very steep and will be difficult for anyone with mobility problems.”

The house had everything we needed except a Fridge Freezer or Dishwasher. Pebble Lodge is in a good position for visiting places of interest, we visited Torquay, Totnes, Babbacombe, Brixham, Teignmouth, Bygones, and also went on the Steam Train

- David, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback and glad that you enjoyed your stay Pebble lodge does have a fridge freezer and a dishwasher located in the kitchen which fully works on last inspection. The property does have steps unfortunately but we don't consider them very steep but we are glad the property is elevated so the views can be enjoyed. Property Owner
John July 2022

“Overall excellent facility.”

Needed some directions on how heating system and washing machine works - especially being from USA. We felt the experience would have been enhanced if there had been a greater selection of "regularly used" spices / cooking ingredients provided. It's expensive to furnish every "spice" item yourself for just one week. However if this has been tried and people remove them ...understood.

- John, July 2022

Thanks for your feedback! im glad you had a great stay in Devon and you rated us as excellent! Its noted about the instructions for the washing machine - we will put more info in the book left at the property. The heating controls are quite easy however during the summer months are not usually used - but we will also put more instruction in the Book. On the spices, we usually leave Cooking Oil, Mixed herbs, Salt and Pepper as per the Sykes guidelines. Many thanks for your input - Owners of Pebble Lodge Property Owner
David June 2022

“This was a lovely home from home with wonderful views.”

We had everything we needed and we would recommend this as a base for exploring the English Riviera. It is great for walkers. The property has many steps, which is a small price to pay for the views from both the front door and the, further elevated, summerhouse.

Pamela March 2022

“A very comfortable stay at Pebble Lodge.”

Comfortable settees and chairs, no complaints with the mattresses, we slept very well. Fabulous views from the sun room where we sat every evening watching the lights come on over Paignton. Easy access to all the nearby towns and places of interest, although the climb back up the hill from Paignton town centre is quite stiff and not for the faint hearted (there is also a bus available to get you back up to the top)! Our only complaint was the fridge, barely big enough for two let alone six, but this could be because we do one big shop at the beginning of the holiday and tend not to visit a supermarket again.

- Pamela, March 2022

Hi Pamela So please you enjoyed your stay We totally get where you are coming from with the fridge situation so we have put an extra one in Thank you for leaving it so clean and tidy when you left Barry and Sarah Property Owner

“On arrival disappointed with one of bedrooms, no wardrobe or hanging space at all.”

There was a pull out bed which when pulled out revealed lots of dust, clothing labels and a dirty sock. More clothing was found in a drawer in another bedroom and another dirty sock in the final bedroom in a drawer. Kitchen was not really good, 2 drawers (cutlery) both couldn’t be opened easily, both need serious attention. Parking was advertised as parking for 2 cars, when we arrived there was definitely not room for 2 cars. The waste bins and boxes were on the drive so no way could 2 vehicles park. The location of the property was poor, there was no description provided of the area, which we found poor. All things considered we would not be returning and would not recommend.

- Michael, August 2021

We appreciate your feedback and we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay at pebble lodge.Please accept or sincere apologies that the cleanliness of the property was not up to standard. As you can see by other reviews it has always been a high standard. We have spoken to our housekeeper about this and had you of informed us during your stay we could have rectified this immediately along with the sticking draw- please note as it is an older kitchen it has a safety catch on them so the drawers do not fly out. With regard to the lack of hanging rail in one of the rooms we will look at rectifying this for future guests. please note the property description clearly states off road parking for 1 car with on street parking on a first come first serve basis for other vehicles. We usually park our car behind the car parked on the drive with no problem. Lastly, as with regard to the location of the property it is shown on the map on Sykes website along with distances to local amenities including beach etc. We have also included loads of information in the welcome pack at the property. We personally have stayed there many times and find the area peaceful as it is a cul de sac with no through traffic along with great views of the bay and ideally placed for touring the local Torbay area. Once again we appreciate your feed back Regards Barry and Sarah. Property Owner
Lisa August 2021

“Pebble lodge is a fantastic holiday home, close to the amenities the English Riveria has to offer and with stunning views of the coastline.”

We thoroughly enjoyed sitting up at the top outside and just taking in the view! We were lucky to have fantastic weather all week too. Recommend days out on the Dartmouth steam train and cruise, cockington village and country park and visiting picturesque babbacombe and their model village. Goodrington sands beach was our favourite. Lots of amenities there for the family but less busy and commercialized than Paignton itself. The cottage was lovely and clean and the perfect base for this area of Devon.

“Cottage was superb and clean, lovely welcome pack on arrival.”

Could not fault cottage. Parking was ok if got one car, but may cause an issue if other cars are needed in party. Would not say it was suitable for individuals that have trouble with steps as front and back garden have them. Lastly walk to Paignton is all down hill, so up hill on way back, and I mean up hill. But there is a good bus service with a stop not too far from the cottage. Overall good base, would definitely recommend.
