The balcony was an added bonus. Given the thick granite walls it is very quiet but don't expect good mobile reception or wifi in the bedrooms. You need to be careful getting there. Milbrook village is a nightmare when it's busy and Satnav won't direct you to the property and be very careful as it will direct you along inappropriate roads. However, google maps will, so look before you leave, and it is well sign posted off the main road to Cremyll. The last mile or so is a typical single track road but thankfully not very busy. The parking is a bit tight as well. Unloading was a bit of a nightmare but you can park temporarily round the back which makes things much easier. Fort Picklecombe is unique and we enjoyed our stay.

“The apartment was lovely and the extra finishing touches to the flat really made it a pleasure to stay in.”

The location was amazing and luckily so was the weather. The only thing that let it down was firstly the Internet was not very strong nor did it work in the bedrooms. Which wouldn’t normally be a problem however when the signal is poor, a strong WiFi connection is needed. Also the TV signal wouldn’t work, although this wasnt such an issue as we had the ability to log onto Netflix and iPlayer etc. Another recommendation is investing in better outdoor furniture and more comfortable sofas. Other than those minor details the fort was a lovely place to stay and we shall definitely be returning.

Thank you for taking the time to send your comments regarding your recent stay. We are glad that you loved the apartment and the location. It is disappointing to hear that you had some difficulty with the wifi signal and TV, this isn't something that usually occurs, the owner is going to look into it further and take action if necessary. We can confirm that the outside furniture and sofas are new. We would be pleased to welcome you again in the future. Sykes owner relations

“The Fort is a fabulous place to stay, the apartment is modern , well equipped and very clean.”

As you’d expect a fort is an older building so surrounding areas look tired and when you pull in from the car park and walk through the basement don’t let this be a reflection on the apartment - these areas are well maintained but smell a little damp. The TV as several mention is a little problematic but cant be helped due to signal when the naval boats are in - these are lovely to watch from the balcony. The sea does go out and its safe to swim but very little beach to speak of. Everyone on site was extremely lovely with few exceptions given that this is a residential site. Lovely places Cawsand and Kingsand close to hand and within walking distance. Easy access to Mount Edgcumbe Park too - don’t forget to take the pin pad number with you.

“The apartment was very clean and it had a fantastic view out to sea.”

It was so good I couldn't keep my eyes of the sea. There was one problem with the television. I had a tv in every room but none of them worked. It was three days before the tv were up and working.

“Apartment excellent it would benefit from better outdoor furniture, a good start would be some foldable deck chairs.”

At present all there is are 4 solid metal chairs which are very uncomfortable

“The flat is well equipped, but 5 TV's is a bit over the top!”

The kitchen is very well appointed and the beds very comfy. We know Picklecombe very well as a family member was one of the original owners in 1976! Its a shame the current owners did not refurb the bedroom windows which we found difficult to open. They need a squirt of WD40 to assist with opening, as well as the patio door. The large TV was far too near the settee for my vision and the 2 settees by the window a bit too low for my back! The flat is very handy for access to the car park. To all who follow ENJOY!

“A local information pack would be helpful which should include that dogs are not allowed on beach until september”

“Lovely flat amazing location unbelievable views lovely holiday.”

Easy boat trips to Plymouth. Good access to restaurants and Segway adventure which was great. Officious and rude neighbour but apart from that it was a wonderful few days and everyone else was welcoming and hospitable.

“This property is one of a number overseen by a Management company, rules and regulations are available to read in which it is stated the properties should not be let out.”

This rule was further emphasised by one owner in particular who made very hostile remarks. Unless this issue is addressed in future and there are reassurances that those who choose to pay the not inconsiderable fee will be welcome and able to access the beach area, pool and tennis courts without conflict I cannot recommend this as a pleasant holiday experience.
