Firstly I was offered compensation only if I didn't write this review, no offer 2 cover £150 expenses we incurred because of the conditions & lack of supplies. That's just not on. I have a very hard time believing any positive reviews for this place. We arrived @8pm after 18 hours travel to a house that was SIX degrees Celsius. The boiler has a slow leak they know about yet they haven't fixed it properly so no heat or hot water; There was no light in the dining room - bulbs burnt out in one fixture & missing in the other; a moldy stinking piece of clothing in the washer. We called after hours MGMT who said we'll call you right back. After 30 mins of no callback we booked a B&B elsewhere for the night. They never did call back btw. A gas installer showed up 15 mins later, 'fixed' the boiler & showed us how to maintain it ourselves for our stay. Said 90 mins until the house would be warm. He left & we did too. Mgmt Co text me to say the gas installer fixed it, not to confirm with US it was fixed - bad customer service there! They offered to bring light bulbs by in 3 DAYS for the only eating area in the cottage. We returned the next day to make lunch. We find dirty pans, pots & cutlery which have to be thoroughly scrubbed before we can do so but at least we it was warm now & there is hot water though it only lasted 3 more days until I had to do maintenance myself & then every 3days. The kitchen knives we're as dull as a dinner knife and the sharpening steel was worn smooth. In a self catering place, the kitchen has to good but it isn't. When I pay to stay somewhere I expect it to work. I do not expect to have to do maintenance or pay for light bulbs. When issues were addressed with the owner, they said this is ”self catering” & "guests are allowed to pay for things like light bulbs". WHAT!? I didn't expect to have to buy them nor the dish brush, dish soap, washing tabs, dish towels, hand soap, etc. as there were NONE of those items in house & only 1 partial toilet roll. The shower curtain is hung improperly so the curtain sticks to you while you shower. The parking is super tight. The owner said there's nothing that can be done but AFAIK stone can be cut to widen the driveway. Their guest info book is good 4 nearby eats, services, etc but there's no explanation 4 garbage & recycling practices nor pick up times. The bedrooms, living room, internet are also good but it's not enough to want to go back. A disappointing place to spend the holiday

Excellent position, short drive to Torquay and five minutes walk from lots of lovely little shops and cafes, where we regularly had our breakfast. This cottage would not be for you if you only like modern decor, but was spotlessly clean throughout and very good value. Speaking as someone who rarely sleeps well away from home, the beds were excellent and I had a great week's sleep. Very central area to stay, with good access to many of Devon's best locations.

Myself and my family plus one dog had a brill holiday at st Ann's. A spacious cottage with all needs catered for. Very clean and cosy and warm. The surrounding areas are beautiful with many great walks for the dog. The nearest beach is just a 10 minute walk. Xxx

Have just enjoyed a lovely week at St Anns! The cottage was really cosy and warm and plenty of space for 6 of us!! So much to do within easy reach - shops, pubs, restaurants and places of interest all in walking distance and a great bus service from St Marychurch to go further afield! We were able to have a break from driving on a few days! The cottage was great value for money (especially at peak times) and would highly recommend for any group size, age etc. Have kept the details in the hope to return again!!

When we went for a week in February the fee for the cottage was exceptional value. The property is well situated close to St Marychurch which has a good range of shops. Torquay and Torbay are easily accessible as is Exeter, Newton Abbot and the moors. The property was comfortable and had everything that one would require and there was off street parking for two cars. We would stay again.

My family of 4 have stayed at St Ann's for a number of years now whenever we visit Torbay. My husband's family live there and it means we can visit with them without having to bunk in with them. We love St Ann's for its location and size. There is strip shopping within a 2 minute walk, beaches 5 minutes drive away and a 10 minute drive to the town centre. With 3 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and separate dining room our family can easily enjoy a homestyle holiday experience. It has off road parking which gives you peace of mind when you are using a rental car. The caretakers have always made us feel welcome and arriving late has never been a problem. The property is very comfortable too. Great shower, hot water, central heating etc. We have tried out other properties but St Ann's wins out in our opinion.

Homely accommodation safe for children and dogs, excellent location, walk to the beach, walk to the shops, free parking for 2 cars.Have recommended it to family who have also enjoyed their stay here.The owner always provides good customer service with a few essentials awaiting us, milk, eggs, tea, coffee, biscuits, etc.Have stayed here with our 2 dogs many many times and will continue to do so.Good value for money, with all the attractions of Torquay a 5 minute drive away.

I thouroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to all people looking for a relaxing few days away. Karen was very helpful during the process of booking, and during the stay with queries and other issues. Very impressed!

stayed nov 12 place very warm cosey clean ,,well equiped lovely and close for babacombe town and the model village took my dogs lovely walk not to far away .would return again no problems

Cannot recommend this cottage, I have contacted the owner informing her that the cottage is very very dirty, greasy, and smelly throughout. There are health and safety issues inside and out. It is in an excellent position, bus top, shops and cafes nearby, The Owner informs me that she is going to investigate my concerns So check with owner before booking
