Great place, clean, tidy and spacious

Tubbs Delight is a great place to stay, the views from the rear are amazing and the hot tub is a definite plus. Its spacious and well laid out with room for families and pets. I’d recommend it to anyone looking a quite place to base themselves. Note to owners, the crockery situation was a little on the sparse side but not much of an issue if you intend eating out most of the time Overall an enjoyable experience.

Thank you for you lovely review. So glad you enjoyed the view and hot tub at Tubbs Delight. I'm sorry to hear about the crockery, if you had contacted me I could have arranged the housekeeper to drop off spares, as I keep spares for accidents. Thanks

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Sharkey

Host profile image
Tubbs Delight has been looked after by the same family since it was built in the 1960's. It has always been a great family self catering holiday rental in Devon. The second generation now maintains the property and it has changed immensely from its humble beginnings. Tubbs Delight is constantly being refurbished and updated. I have tried to make the bungalow as comfortable as I can for you as it is important to me that you enjoy your holiday. Having lived there as a child I consider Tubbs Delight my baby and love relaxing down there. For me its a get way from the phone, WiFi and computer (although you don't have to) and its a chance to go walking in the countryside and rock pool investigating on the beach.

Why they chose this property

"Far from the madding crowd" is exactly how I would describe Tubbs Delight. Even more so in the Winter when you can see snow on Dartmoor.
My parents bought it as a family getaway. They loved the village, countryside and beaches. The village is self supporting with the co-op shop so you can just arrive and sit out looking at the view all day long.

What makes this property unique

It is the view from the rear of the property which is breathtaking and has not changed in decades.

The decking from the lounge houses the 5 person jacuzzi (which is available at an additional cost and subject to conditions) and its amazing how many stars you can see at night.

If you are an ardent walker (with or without a dog) you hardly need to use the car. Tubbs delight is a Walkers are welcome property with a drying area for wet muddy clothes and shoes, a washing machine and dryer, an outside tap for cleaning and a jacuzzi for relaxing those aching limbs.

Tubbs Delight is a sustainable home with cavity wall insulation, heat recovery system, PV and Solar hot water. I am working towards a carbon zero holiday home.
