Turtle Beach, Sunnybeach Apartments

Pleasant apartment at Turtle Beach, Paignton

4.5/5

We were delighted in most respects with the accommodation; the furnishings were clean, new, good quality and well-thought-out. We are also very grateful that a second set of keys was provided for the benefit of my handicapped wife. One thing we very much disliked was the tiny washbasin, where it was quite awkward even washing your hands under the taps. I took to cleaning my teeth over the kitchen sink, which was large enough to catch the drips, but unfortunately the sink lacked a mirror for wet shaving. There were a few other issues; we couldn’t stand 2 or 4 pint milk bottles upright in the fridge, perhaps because the lower support for the door shelf was broken, and plastic milk bottles seem to leak once opened initially. Also there was no wire rack so we weren’t able to use the grill, and we would have appreciated instructions for the microwave. The view over the bay was superb, although unfortunately noisy motorbikes seemed to run up and down Esplanade Road late into the night. It was disconcerting that we had to leave home before we were given the key code, or had a second set of keys confirmed, particularly as Luxury Coastal had given us a mobile number from which we got no reply and a non-working landline number for Sunnybeach Apartments, while the key code was sent to us at 3:00 pm, as promised, but from a different number.
