3 Ocean Reach

Beautiful house and very clean.

Everything was perfect. This is our 4th time staying at Oceans Reach but first time in this property. We will happily come back to this property!

This is our 3rd holiday at Ocean Reach but our first time staying at No.

3. The accommodation was very comfortable, fully equipped with lots of thoughtful touches provided by the owner to make our stay very easy. The property was very clean and the instructions for appliances etc left by the owner were very clear. We would stay here again.

Our second visit to this charming property.

The views, sunsets and coastal walks were just as beautiful in Autumn as in Summer. Ocean's Reach is in the most idyllic setting plus it now has a top class and locally renowned restaurant on site. The house was spotless and well equipped. We did have an issue with the heating which Sykes Cottages sorted out speedily. Some small recommendations: the dining area could do with an update as the table and chairs with seat-pads felt a bit tired; also the carpets upstairs could do with a refresh. But we had a lovely stay and thought it was excellent value for this sought after part of the world.

We had a great stay.

The accommodation was beautifully clean and very well equipped. It's right on the South West Coastal path so perfect for coastal walks. It's an excellent location for dog walking with Bolberry Down right next to the property. We enjoyed visiting many places in the area, such as Dartmouth, Hope Cove, Bolt Head and Bolt Tail, Burgh Island, Salcombe, Kingsbridge, Totnes. Would definitely consider visiting again.

Great Place to stay!

We really enjoyed our two weeks. The location on the cliff top is unbeatable. The looks are exiting and the walks along the Coast Path are breathtaking.

Really great place, as per photos.

Clean and good quality beds etc. it’s high up so great views around the building. The road to it is single tracked but that is Devon in general. We found it to be really close to everything and would definitely stay there again

A lovely cosy and clean place to stay.

Excellent views and walks and central to local towns of interest.

Overall, a very clean and well appointed property.

However there were some 'issues'... The downstairs bathroom sink was very slow to empty. It was bunged up. Some bleach, boiling water and two wooden kebab sticks and it was cleared. I suggest the trap under the sink is checked. This had been going on for some time. There was nowhere to plug the dvd player in. All sockets behind tv taken up with modem, router and tv. Needs another double socket adapter. Whilst the bedrooms, bathrooms and hall were a good size the shared area, kitchen, dining and living area's were not. You could not seat 4 adults on the sofa. OK for us but we often go away with other couples and this property would have been a challenge in those area's. Not the property's fault but it would have been helpful to know just how stressful the access roads are. It put us off going out in the car. Coupled with the local councils App and coins only policy re parking made trips out difficult (i won't use parking apps because of past 'incidents'). The restaurant is lovely BUT very expensive. The walk to Saur Cove is quite dangerous and should come with a warning. Having walked into Hope Cove (lovely!) three times, been unable to park at Slapton Sands(no coins left), we packed up early and left the day before departure.

We had a very lovely time.

The cottage was lovely the restaurant was fantastic and the walks nearby are great Highly recommended

No 3 is an idyllic place to stay, with every comfort thought about.

This is our second stay and we will be returning! Being on Bolberry Down is superb.

We had a fabulous stay at 3 ocean reach.

Having read a couple of previous negative reviews regarding the cleanliness of the property I rang Sykes cottages and spoke to a very helpful gentleman who assured me that I could call him when we arrived if there was anything at all of concern or if we found the cleanliness below standard. We found the cottage to be pretty spotless and extremely comfortable and well equipped. In fact I would say it was one of the most comfortable and clean holiday lets we have ever stayed in (and at our time of life we have stayed in a lot). The real joy of this place is the position. The views are truly spectacular, particularly from the main bedroom. The food at the on site restaurant was fantastic and the welcome very warm. They are happy for you to just have drinks too. This place absolutely perfect for walkers, (our dog was particularly happy). We walked into the lovely bustling Hope cove and in the opposite direction to the beautiful Soar mill cove. You are very central here for driving into Salcombe and the lovely North and south sands. If you are fitter than us you can walk there via the coast path. We really loved this place and would definitely return and a big thank you to the owner and to Sykes cottages for being so helpful and responsive.

The location of the house was v good, amazing views!

! The house is in need of updating & a deep clean. Handfuls of cobwebs behind the bedside tables, shower in main bathroom needs a deep clean. Decor was dated, especially carpets which need replacing. The house did not feel clean, wood floors throughout the downstairs were sticky. There was an overwhelming smell from the diffusers in the house, not nice. Bedding was of low quality but beds were very comfortable. I didn't feel the house reflected the price being charged.

Second year to this stunning dog friendly accommodation.

Only 4* for cleanliness as not as clean on arrival as last year. Huge concern about emergency number out of hours that was based in Chester left voice mail as unable to access key from key safe despite several attempts by me & other guests on site. Text sent from Chester to advise someone would ring me within 20mins. No tel call received! It was pouring with rain & thick sea mist & had unfed dog in car. Thankfully owner of No. 2 was staying next door who was so supportive & able to resolve my immediate problem after 2hrs+ & she also contacted owner of No. 3 who arranged for guy on site to look at key safe. Key had been placed incorrectly causing inability to open key safe! So what would I have had to do without owner of next door being there? Sleep in my car? Very stressful start to our holiday. Emergencies do occur out of hrs so this clearly needs resolving. However I would still return to this accommodation cos its awesome!

Amazing views, especially from the bedroom.

Very clean bright house that felt like a home thanks to all the little extras left in the house. So peaceful too. Would definitely stay again.

Great property, lovely views and a well equipped kitchen.

Ocean Reach is in an idyllic setting and the property itself is perfect.

Lots of little extra touches that were much appreciated.

Lovely, clean and well equipped property with everything provided for.

Quiet location with private car parking. A good location for walking the coastal path and only a short distance to Salcombe and Kingsbridge. We would have no hesitation with staying here again in the future.

Immaculate property, very well maintained and well thought out with every facility you could wish for.

In addition, the position of the property gave superb views over the bay and we enjoyed the hospitality of the restaurant as well. We would not hesitate to book this preperty again and highly recommend it to others.

The property was everything we could wish for !

The peace and quiet was divine ! Furnishings were first class ,bed was so comfortable !! Sunsets were amazing Cannot fault anything

Lovely week at this super, well equipped property on Bolberry Down.

Fantastic views from bedrooms. This property would benefit from upside down living.

Awesome accommodation very well equipped.

Lots of thoughtful small touches around the rooms. Clean on arrival. Stunning location & saw some awesome sunsets. Outside environment of accommodation well thought out e.g sensor lighting- litter bins- good access to refuse & recycling areas- parking areas that included visitors parking- DEFIBRILLATOR on site. Dog friendly accommodation thanQ. Local coastal paths & short car journey to local beaches. Our favourite is always South Milton sands. Always a yummy Sunday roastie at Village Inn Thurlestone dog friendly pub. On site Ocean Restaurant not visited however has good food reviews. My personal opinion is Restaurant too close to accommodation very strong food smells waft into apartment not pleasant & occasional noisy intoxicated groups. My telephone contact with Coast and Country was very helpful. Another front door key would have been helpful. I would very much re visit No. 3 Ocean Reach again. ThanQ Jane (owner). Family & friends visiting were all very impressed with my accommodation.

This is without a doubt the nicest, most comfortable and well equipped cottage I have ever stayed in.

We had a fabulous time here, loved every minute! Will definitely come back.

A great little property in a stunning location.

Only stayed for 3 nights but I’m sure we will return!

3, Ocean Reach is a beautiful property.

It was very clean which always makes for a good start to the holiday. The beds were very comfortable, and the property is extremely well equipped, which again made it feel very well cared for. The location is very peaceful and the views of the coast are stunning. Other local areas are very accessible by car. The customer service from Coast and Country has been very good too. Thank you to the owners for sharing your beautiful holiday home.

Very well equipped property probably the best we have ever had,the decor is especially nice we could not fault it.

We once stayed there when it was the Portlight Hotel and the bed is much more comfortable now!The only comment is it’s a pity the restaurant is not open more often as the food is good making it so popular that it’s difficult to get a place.One note would be there is just one oven glove it would be so helpful for us older people if there were two.

Very clean environment and views of the sea are very beautiful and also the cottage is very clean and modern.

Great location and especially the position in regards to the Oceans Restaurant.

Only one issue was that the WiFi was upgraded on our second day and we could not use it for 24 hours afterwards.

Not a problem if we had been told that but annoying to spend half the morning on the phone trying to get it up and running only for it to resolve itself at lunchtime.

Best place me and my wife ever visited!

Amazing view, clean and very comfortable property. If you are looking for peace and quiet, away from the urban jungle, then this is the place to visit. My wife and I, spent 4 nights in Bolberry and it was more then enough to recharge ourselves with energy, happiness and good vibes! We walked every day on the coast from Bolberry to Hope Cove and further up to South Milton Sands. We enjoyed every minute of our holiday. Thank you!

Weather & cottage were both super!

If the restaurant had been open it would have been perfect! Thank you

Outstanding location, very well equipped.

Listing did not indicate limited internet connection which is then referred to when you arrive at the property. Would be beneficial to know this when booking. A real shame as Christmas so contacting people is important. It was our only family holiday this year. Floors really not that clean. I contacted Sykes and had a reply from them on Weds 22nd both email and phone call I was told that a local rep would contact me, sadly I had no further contact. Very disappointing.

Amazing cottage with amazing views.

Will definitely be booking to come again.

Wonderful location, and superb apparement, will definitely return and book again.

Great location, exceptionally well equipped rental

Beautifully furnished cottage in a fantastic location.

Would highly recommend.

Lovely property with everything you need.

Very quiet and great views.

Best equipped cottage we’ve ever stayed in.

Owner had thought of everything. Fabulous position. Had dreadful weather but still had a lovely time.

This is our second visit to ocean reach since the pandemic began.

We always feel very safe. Cottage is lovely, well provided for and very clean. Booking is easy, instructions simple. Thanks C and C for being so reliable, we'll be back!

Great location for a real escape, amazing views!

!

It is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location - we had a great time.

The apartment was lovely in a beautiful location.

Our only slight problem was that the floor didn’t seem to have been cleaned very well and the sofa was covered in dog hair.

This was our second visit to the cottage this year.

Usually when I review a cottage there’s always plenty of positives but quite honestly there tends to be one or two points that aren’t so great. This cottage is the exception to the rule, nothing but praise to the owner for offering such a wonderful place to relax , unwind and thoroughly enjoy. It’s a beautiful cottage in a beautiful area.

It would be good to have a code for catch up on the smart tv, but otherwise a superb place to stay and enjoy.

Restaurant on site a definite plus.

Perfect location with very high quality accommodation, sea and country views far better than photos showed.

Good walks and near to great beaches.

Very very pleased with every aspect of our short break.

Everything from the house to the weather and location was fabulous. Having two bathrooms in the property is a real bonus and having stayed in many cottages over the last few years I have to say in my opinion it was one of the most well equipped and clean ones we’ve ever stayed in.

a couple of points 1.

Smart TV is set up for Iplayer but not for C4, ITV or C5 I was reluctant to enter my e mail address and my password to set up these facilities in case it caused problems in the future. 2. It would be helpful to have instructions on how to use the induction hob. As it happened we did not use it.
