The property is compact but mostly has what you need. (Worth noting that towels are not provided - we had to go back to Kingsbridge to buy some...). It would be useful to have some more information in the flat about where things are (e.g. cutlery!) and how things work, but the owner was very helpful when we contacted him. The house is well located for hiking on the coast path, and it's handy being able to leave the car at the house. Hope is a pretty village, but has only one pub which gets very busy, and only one very small shop.

Stay at Fern Lodge, Hope Cove April 2025

The property was clean and the description was accurate. We were not provided with an exact address, just the road, and as there was no phone signal, could not contact the host for information on arrival. So we had to drive slowly along the road until we found it. Also, no information provided regarding bin days, recycling or appliances.We had a lovely stay and when the electricity tripped when a bulb blew the host did reply quickly when we contacted him.Hope Cove is gorgeous and we were blessed with the weather.

Weekend break

A lovely base for a long weekend. Absolutely stunning location, the cove is just at the end of the road. The accommodation had everything we needed and the beds were very comfy. The owner was quick to communicate when asked a question and provided all the information needed. Would love to come back and stay again.

Overprized

Great location but we were expecting more from the property for the price we have paid. The house was smaller than anticipated, there was a (working) washing machine but no rack nor place to dry clothes. Before use, we washed the pots and pans because they were still sticky. Overall it was an “ok-“property but

Fern Lodge is in desperate need of referbishment. also the cleaning is awful, as soon as you get there, you have to walk through dead leaves and litter in the lower step. the sofa has toys stuffed at the back and cardboard boxes under the sofa, sweet wrapers under the tv and when it rains the window cill floods with water. The carpet strip between the hall and bathroom is not secured down, so it just floats around. The small bedroom space is taken up by a vacuum cleaner sprawing on the floor.

There are two positives for this property the location to the beach, sw coastal path and secondly the bed linen was clean, sadly the rest of the property is in desperate need of an upgrade, refurbishedment and tidy up inside and out. The front door is dirty, the front door step down into the rental is full of dead leaves and rubbish, first impressions not great. Parking outside was fine for one car. Inside none of the uvpc window handles fit down in their correct place, so security is an issue, we had a leak when it rained and puddles formed on the living room window sill, managed to catch the leak before it ran down into the electric heater on the wall. Mould on walls and curtains in rooms. Lots of clutter, empty boxes under sofa, beds and spare duvets under beds, massive hoover taking over bunk bed room. Would be too cosy for four adults but ok with small children. In the kitchen pots and pans didn't want to use these, under sink cupboard is full of random cleaning products and rubbish. Sorry to say but this rental is not up to standards I'd expect from a holiday home, needs some quality control , checks before guests arrive. Ending on a positive Nick, the host, communication was great, thanks for answering my question. Ps. Where was the hairdryer?

Disappointing

On the first night of our stay our son woke up coughing and was very wheezy, he is asthmatic and needed to have his inhaler a few times. We inspected the kids room and found quite a lot of mould so decided to move his mattress to the living room area for him to sleep which worked. There was mould in other random areas aswel like around windows and the door wiper for the shower. The washing machine draw and lining inside the drum was filthy and we needed to clean it thoroughly before using it. Some of the wooden furniture could do with being updated as it is badly chipped as are most of the plates and bowls stored in the cupboard. The cups and glasses were fine though. On our last night at the property I noticed a sticker on the fire blanket box in the kitchen which shows when the fire equipment inside the property has been serviced. (There were 2 fire extinguishers aswel) the sticker showed it had last been serviced in 2011 and was due to be serviced again in 2016 but it wasn't. When speaking to the host about this he said he had them checked a couple of months ago. There should be a signature and a date on the sticker to assure guests that they are safe I'm pretty sure it needs to be done annually. After seeing this it led me to want to check the smoke alarm which I did. It didn't work! I tried multiple times to do a test sound but it wouldn't go off. We were leaving the next day in the morning so I thought I will discuss this with the host when we are back home. While we were staying in the property we accidentally caused some damage to an air vent which I discussed with the host along with my complaints. I apologised for the damage and for causing any upset and said we would pay for the damage but didn't receive one apology for anything I had complained about only excuses and accusing me of using my list of complaints to divert his attention from the damage we caused. When I explained that I didn't feel it was worth the full amount we paid and could it be discounted in any way I didn't receive a reply. The location was lovely but the property, we feel, was not worth the price we paid.
