The Curlews - Waterside villa med Large Spa (Teignmouth)

Dear Martin Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that the property had not been serviced prior to your arrival. This was an unfortunate housekeeping issue and certainly not the standard we expect. Once we became aware of the situation, we arranged for the property to be fully serviced as quickly as possible and also covered the cost of your evening meal to compensate for the disruption caused to your first evening. We are, however, disappointed to read about additional concerns regarding the dishwasher and hot tub, as neither of these issues was reported to us at any point during your stay. Had we been made aware of them, we would have had the opportunity to investigate and, where necessary, arrange for them to be rectified promptly. The hot tub is professionally serviced and checked before guest arrivals, and we have procedures in place to respond to maintenance issues throughout a guest's stay. Unfortunately, we cannot address matters that are only brought to our attention after departure. We fully accept that the situation on arrival fell below the standard both you and we should expect, and we apologise again for that disruption. We were pleased that we were able to resolve the housekeeping issue that evening and cover your meal, but we would always encourage guests to report any further concerns during their stay.

Many thanks, for taking the time out of your day to write such a kind review. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back to stay at any of our luxury homes at Fresh Escapes so feel to reach out and make contact with us in the not-too-distant future. Warm regards, The Fresh Escapes Team

We are so glad you all had a good time. It sounds a perfect way to spend a 70th birthday. The recycling is indeed complicated, Devon were one of the first counties to adopt strict recycling practices.

Dear Claire Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay. We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly as your visit was intended to be a special family occasion. While we appreciate your comments, we do feel it’s important to clarify that our team did respond promptly to your concerns and offered to address the minor issues raised at the time — including a few leaves that had entered the hot tub, a small amount of dust in a corner, and a fly found on the carpet. Despite the property having been professionally cleaned and prepared prior to your arrival, we immediately offered assistance to remedy anything that may have fallen short of your satisfaction. Nonetheless, after your request to leave the property, a full refund was issued as a gesture of goodwill — even though you stayed the first night. We take all guest feedback seriously and continually strive to ensure every home meets the high standards that Fresh Escapes is known for. We are sorry this stay did not provide the relaxing experience you were hoping for and wish you and your family all the best for the future. Kind regards, The Fresh Escapes Team

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the property itself, particularly the space, the views, and those special sunrise and sunset moments — they really are something we’re proud of and glad you were able to experience. We’re very sorry that a few aspects of your arrival fell short of expectations. The issue you mentioned with the rug is certainly not acceptable, especially when welcoming families with children and pets, and we have raised this directly with our housekeeping team to ensure standards are consistently met going forward. Thank you also for your understanding regarding the hot tub. We’re pleased our team was able to resolve this quickly for you, but we appreciate how important it is that facilities are fully ready on arrival. We completely understand your disappointment around the lack of Christmas decorations so close to the festive period. This is valuable feedback and something we are reviewing carefully, as seasonal touches can make a real difference to a holiday experience at that time of year. Your comments regarding areas of wear and tear within the kitchen and living spaces are also appreciated. While the house remains a much-loved and well-used home, your feedback highlights specific items that now need attention, and these points have been shared with the owners so they can be addressed as part of ongoing maintenance and improvements. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It genuinely helps us refine both the guest experience and the care of the homes we manage, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future once these improvements have been made. Warm regards Fresh Escapes

Dear Tracey A big thanks for your review and so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and your 50th birthday celebration. You are welcome back any time in the future and for any returning guests we offer a 10% discount off your stay. Warm regards The Fresh Escapes team

Thank you for your review. We are pleased you did enjoy yourself. We have spoken to the cleaners about the mop and the BBQ.. We do asks guests to clean it after use and the majority do which is great. The Spa is a self cleaning hydropool that cleans the water every 15mins. On top of this we also have Hydropool themselves, that come in, in between each guest to carry out maintenance and a flush. It should have been fine so I will pass your comments onto Hydropoool. We do wish you would have called us and we could have sent them back immediately.
