Guests say
The Water Tower Studio in Seaton, Devon, is generally praised for its comfort, spaciousness, and quiet location. Guests appreciate the friendly owner and the property's suitability for families and pets. The garden and open-plan design are highlights, though some mention a need for maintenance and cleaning improvements.
Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. While some guests found the property very clean, others reported issues with cobwebs, dog hair, and a smell of damp. The presence of both positive and negative feedback suggests variability in cleaning standards.
The location is frequently described as quiet and ideal for exploring Devon and Dorset, with easy access to local towns and attractions. Some guests found the road outside a bit noisy, but the overall sentiment is positive.
Guests often mention the property's comfort, noting the spaciousness, comfortable furniture, and suitability for family gatherings. However, some concerns about the layout and the need to pass through one bedroom to access the bathroom slightly detract from the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and a welcome pack. Criticisms include the lack of an upstairs toilet, the need for better recycling guidance, and maintenance issues like a wobbly toilet bowl and the need for cleaner skylights.
There is insufficient information to score thoughtfulness accurately. While a welcome pack is mentioned, which indicates a degree of thoughtfulness, there are not enough references to consistently assess this category across reviews.

Extremely well maintained and meticulously clean. All facilities as described. The only thing which could have been improved would be to have some kind of privacy plastic/semi transparent adhesive plastic applied to the downstairs toilet window so that anyone in the other 2 properties doesnât get an unwelcome view!! At present, if you use the toilet, you need to pull the blind down. A minor criticism.

The welcome pack was such a treat when we arrived. The only thing I can think of to improve the holiday was to have a pair of oven gloves. Otherwise very well equipped.
