Very accommodating and greeted us on arrival with welcome gifts. Great location and very close to the beach. Property was very clean. Great location as the dogs loved the beach and coastal paths were easily accessible. Recommend a visit to the journeys end but booking essential. All in all a fantastic break away

Excellent, comfortable and tastefully appointed beach house just a few metres from the picturesque Challaborough surf beach, Bigbury, Burgh Island and the great ocean walk. The little villages of South Devon were a delight, particularly close-by Ringmore with excellent eating at free house The Journeys End.

The property was lovely and well equipped. We were surprised however to find that it overlooked a large caravan park. It was a quiet time and there was no noise but at high season it may be different.

A great beach.location, made for those that enjoy the sea, sand and fresh air offered on the Devon coast. The propert worked well for us and our dog.

Beautiful house, great location

Really enjoyed our stay. A beautifully managed home - cosy space to relax in the evening, well provisioned kitchen and good size bedrooms - and hosts very welcoming (scones on arrival!). Location fantastic for both Challaborough and Bigbury beaches. Kids loved it.

We had an excellent 7 nights here due to the mostly warm and sunny weather and to the up-to-date, clean, nature of the Loft cottage and its facilities. There were only a couple of minor issues, the main one of which was finding the cottage on arrival in Challaborough. We arrived from the Bigbury direction and missed the cottage completely due to no Follyfoot sign being visible from this direction and the instructions assuming arrival from the other Ringmore direction. We then looked for a cottage on the beach but this beach cottage is, as advertised, ~100 metres back from the beach. Anyway we soon found it and even us oldies managed the ~100 metres to the beach on most days! As other reviews have also noted, the view from the Loft is an extensive caravan park rather than a beach or the sea but this is no problem if the weather is good enough to go to the beach where the sea-views are excellent! Finally, electronic comms from the Reids' are excellent and visitor privacy was certainly well maintained during our stay. In conclusion, we can recommend the Loft as an excellent short holiday destination which is also good value for money.

Amazing location

We have just returned from the most amazing week. The location of the house to the beach made the holiday, it is literally minutes. We spent the week on the beach as had beautiful weather. We took the SUP to the beach daily, the weather meant we had calm waters. Russel and Amanda were fantastic hosts.

Mid-Week Break in Challaborough Bay

Lovely property in close proximity to the beach at Challaborough Bay and a short walk to Bigbury. The property was as described and overlooks the Challaborough Bay holiday park. It's great for surfing and visiting Bigbury/Burgh Island. Salcombe is a short drive and there are many National Trust places to visit. Note that the drive down to the property is a typical road to the coast (e.g. steep and narrow).

Amazing break

Just returned from 5 nights at The Loft. Brilliant location, fabulous accommodation. Less than 5 mins from the beach. Property exactly as described. Extremely clean and tidy. Owners really friendly and nice touch with the discount at the beach shop just round the bay. Lovely upstairs sitting area. Great fish and chips just off the beach. Would love to visit again.
