Ideal place for a large group. Beautifully plush with everything you could possibly need. We were only there 2 nights but there was enough activities to keep everyone going for a week! They've thought of everything.
Very clean & comfortable

An incredible stay in the most unique hosting venue
Such an amazing property in a lovely seaside town. You can tell the owners have thought everything through, and we particularly made good use of the hot tub - which was lovely to see one without chlorine or chemicals in.

Wow just wow
Our stay at Woolbrook Reservoir was honestly incredible, especially since the conversion from an old reservoir into such a massive, modern home is so unique. We had 14 of us there, but the open-plan layout and the central glass atrium made the whole place feel huge and full of light. Most of our time was spent between the games room and the amazing rooftop garden, which has a hot tub and views that are hard to beat. Being just a short walk from the Sidmouth seafront made it the perfect base for the weekend, and I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at Woolbrook Reservoir — it really is a one of a kind space, and it’s wonderful to know the unique conversion made such an impression.
It’s great to hear the house worked so well for your group of 14, and that the open plan design and central glass atrium helped everything feel bright, spacious and welcoming. We are so pleased you made the most of both the games room and the rooftop garden — the hot tub and those views are definitely something special.
Being just a short walk from Sidmouth seafront is definitely a bonus, so we’re really pleased it made the weekend even better for you.
It means a lot that you’d return “in a heartbeat”. We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another memorable stay.

Wonderful family get away
Wonderful property. Disappointed with the hot tub which took 2 days to fill and heat. We booked the property because there was a hot tub.
Everything else exceptional.

Hi Sue,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at Woolbrook Reservoir. We’re delighted to hear that the property was a wonderful fit for your getaway.
We’re sorry to hear about the delay in heating the hot tub. That’s certainly not typical, as it usually takes around an hour to fill and approximately four hours to reach the ideal temperature. Had we known, we would have been more than happy to assist with some helpful tips to speed up the process. The online guide and the welcome folder in the property both have guidance on how to use the hot tub also.
We're so pleased that the rest of your stay was exceptional, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal team

Wonderful stay at Woolbrook Resevoir, Sidmouth.
What an amazing place. Greeted by a very lovely welcome hamper with couple of bottles of Cava and a very well equipped and beautiful property. Everything about the place was great. Couldn't fault it. Really clean inside and out with so many facilities and just a real one off place, ideal for a group getaway. Met and spoke to the owners who are absolutely wonderful. Definitely be coming back again.
Excellent check in and kitchen. Broader facilities require some small changes - more sun beds (including some upstairs) and bigger, better bbq for a house accommodating 12-16 people. Would also recommend aircon in the kitchen. Overall a lovely stay, just some improvements possible.
Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025

Amazing weekend
This house had everything we needed to keep the whole family happy. We had a range of ages from 2 up to 61, and we were all constantly entertained. The only downside was that we had to leave. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to spend some quality family time.

Review of WoolBrook Reservoir
A truly unforgettable stay at Woolbrook Reservoir! Nestled just outside Sidmouth, this former reservoir turned architectural masterpiece felt like stepping into a secret world.
The place accommodated us all comfortably across six spacious bedrooms, each showcasing its own style.
The open-plan kitchen and entertainment area, was great for group dinners and as a social space.
Outside, the garden and the rooftop was the highlight - a drinks bar, sun loungers, ping pong and pool tables, great for keeping all of us entertained and happy!
Location-wise, Woolbrook is tucked away quietly but only a 1.5‑mile stroll from Sidmouth’s gorgeous seafront, cafés, and coastal paths - perfect for day trips.
Woolbrook Reservoir isn’t just a stay—it’s an experience. Highly recommend for anyone wanting something truly special in Devon!

Great place to stay!
Really enjoyed our stay at Woolbrook Reservoir. Lovely house. Loads of space in side and out, for a group of 14 girl friends. The kitchen is brilliant for dancing! The outside seating area is perfect. Was a bit worrying that there were so many breakable things around, thankfully nothing did get broken! Would have been nice for the hot tub to have been filled before our arrival, as that took a long time to fill and heat. Could do with another fridge as one for such a large group wasn't enough. Would definitely love to return.

A memorable stay
This is a lovely property. It is full of interest and has so much light and space in the house and plenty of interest in the central outside area and up in the garden (e.g. hot tub). There were 11 of us of all ages sharing a family occasion for a week. If anyone wanted to go and find some peace and quiet it was easy to lose yourself in this place. But there were also loads of areas around the house and outside for people to gather together, and a great hot tub. The big eating area next to the kitchen was superb for the evening gathering and the kitchen had ample cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils. Bedrooms were all spacious and comfortable, although we felt that the two double futons (one in each of two rooms), would only be comfortable for children or a very light adults. The property is also an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area.

Lovely stay at Woolbrook
We had a wonderful time at Woolbrook. Its a stunning house which was perfect for our gathering of friends. The kitchen was the main area we used & it was well equipped and such a great space to host. We did however have a few issues with the house. The power kept tripping so we had no electricity upstairs at points over the weekend & that made it very cold as the radiators went off.
The dishwasher was also broken which I messaged the owner of the house to let her know & got no response. I was quite surprised that we did not even get an acknowlegment or an apology. When you have a large number of guests, not having the main dishwasher working was a pain. The hob was also not working properly & beeped a lot!
Overall we had a fab time and would love to come back to the property again.

Hi Danielle,
Thank you for sharing your experience at Woolbrook Reservoir. We're delighted to hear that you and your friends enjoyed the stunning house and well-equipped kitchen. We sincerely apologise for the inconveniences you faced during your stay.
I wanted to update you on the issues you encountered. The hob has now been replaced. An electrican has been looking into the tripping electrics so this will be sorted. We also have a second dishwasher available in the utility room for your convenience, we have since added a note on the main dishwasher to make this more clear. After investigating with the property manager, we discovered that they did not receive your text during your stay, and we apologise for any lack of communication.
We hope these improvements will make your future visits even more enjoyable. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the property soon.

Not a Luxury 5* property
We booked this for a luxury wellness retreat on the basis that we would be making use of the outdoor spaces. The pictures made it look really amazing but the reality is the outdoor furniture was covered in mold, was really dirty, covered in bird poo. The games such as the pool table was old and looked like noone had looked after it.
the outdoor chairs had no cushions on them and when we found them they were mouldy and unusable so we had to place blankets on all of the chairs before our guests arrived as well as sweep the lawn of all the crap and leaves to make it look presentable.
It felt really disappointing.
The higher level space near the hotub was ok but the bar again was tired and not appealing.
The inside of the venue was amazing and we really enjoyed it. The unusual lay out and the finishes were great and the kitchen was lovely.
All of the houseplants inside were in need of some care too. Lots of dead plants around. Which is not the vibe we were hoping for.
Especially paying the premium price.

Hi Nicola,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t fully meet expectations, especially for such a special occasion.
That said, we’re really pleased you enjoyed the interior of the property, particularly the unique layout, high-quality finishes, and the well-equipped kitchen. It’s wonderful to know that these aspects contributed positively to your stay.
We apologise for the issues you encountered with the outdoor areas and amenities. Outdoor furniture is cleaned as soon as weather conditions allow, and we’re sorry this happened after your visit. To protect the cushions from the elements, they are stored away when not in use, and guests are kindly asked to return them after use, though we understand this can occasionally be overlooked which results in them staying damp in the store. Since your stay, we’ve taken steps to address all the concerns raised, including treating all outdoor cushions and implementing additional checks to ensure everything is in top condition for future guests. The lawns are now maintained daily by a robotic mower to ensure they remain pristine.
Regarding the houseplants, we were surprised by your comments. The majority are cacti, which require minimal care, and there are only four live houseplants, all of which were thriving during our recent visit. The remaining plants are faux greenery, chosen to compliment the interior design.
We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve and ensure every guest has a memorable experience.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Luxury Coastal in the future.
Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal team
