“Harmur was like a home from home, the kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfy, the whole place was very clean and clearly loved.”

The layout suited us perfectly (3 adults and 2 children). The view from the sitting room/kitchen/balcony really made Harmur a great place to spend the week, we didn't feel cooped up at all despite having a 1 and 3 year old with us! The walk back from the beach might not be suitable for some (if difficulty walking) but despite having a double buggy we found it was short enough that it didn't cause any bother doing it a couple of times a day and it was nice that there are different routes that ...

The walk back from the beach might not be suitable for some (if difficulty walking) but despite having a double buggy we found it was short enough that it didn't cause any bother doing it a couple of times a day and it was nice that there are different routes that can be taken. Thank you for providing a lovely home for us to stay in.

“Property was way below Sykes' usual high standard.”

It felt like the owners had just provided the basics to make some money. No DVD, dishwasher or tea towel holder. The clothes dryer was rusty, the showers were poor quality and the TV was forever losing its signal. This has been the first holiday let that I've stayed where there has been no welcome pack - not even a teabag. The coathangers were cheap and nasty and the heating was inefficient. On the plus side, the location was great. I will think twice about booking through Sykes in future.

“The property was up to a good standard for the price bracket and it certainly is one we could recommend and would visit again.”

A good location being less than 5 minutes walk from the costal path and 10 minutes from the centre of Hope Cove and it's beaches. There were a few things that let the property down. The curtains on the really nice big lounge windows were almost falling off the rail rings with hooks missing. Closing them was not a problem other than they did not meet in the centre. The big lounge window was difficult to close securely. After 2 days of slamming it hard to close it, we found a small faded label behind the curtains saying the (heavy) door had to be lifted the close it. To recycle waste, there were no starch bags for the food caddy and no clear bags for the plastic bottles and metal tins as per the local authority booklet from 2014! When we first arrived, the television would only display BBC1 and BBC2. After working out that it appeared a wicker basket in the unit below the TV had dislodged the cable in the arial wall socket it worked fine. After a couple of days television then would repeatedly display "No signal" loosing all stations then correct it's self after a cuple of hours.

“Very lovely cottage in a great location (if you are fit!”

). We chose this cottage as it is within walking distance of the cottage hotel where we celebrated my dad's 80th birthday. We enjoyed the food so much that we then had a 'lobster pod' experience the next day. It was such a great experience. The cottage was well equipped and has very comfortable beds and a lovely view.

“We have stayed 3 times in this property.”

It is very well appointed with lovely views and easy access to the village centre. Overall it is very well equipped. A few things do need a little attention, i.e. the bed linen looks tired and discoloured, an oven glove would have been useful and a dishwasher would be fantastic! A lick of fresh paint too.

“Harmur is fantastically located, it is a lovely apartment, well furnished and equipped with everything needed for a family holiday.”

The added touches of hand soap, washing powder and use of buckets and spades made it perfect. The only criticism is the style of heating, overnight storage heaters and one electric wall heater. It took a couple of days to warm the apartment and not being able to dry clothes/warm up from a day at the beach or bad weather was the only thing that let it down

- Mrs Donna Frift,
“Super property,only 4 stars because the patio door was very stiff to open,my wife who is quite small had real problems with it,but otherwise it was lovely.”

“Really nice accommodation, which suited us well.”

Only things I would add would be a dishwasher and perhaps some soundproofing between the main bedroom and the neighbouring flat as we could hear them quite clearly!

“Good location and accomodation, though the entrance is a little tatty.”

Also the wooden 'traiangles' at top of stairs were a safety hazard.Please use this space to let us know what you think

About the location

HOPE COVE

Salcombe 4.6 miles; Kingsbridge 5.1 miles

The picturesque and unspoiled village of Hope Cove lies in the sheltered curve of Bigbury Bay on Devon’s south coast. A choice destination for families, the two beaches offering soft sand and rock pools for sandcastle building and fishing for small crabs. The town remains a fishing village where crabs and lobsters are still landed, however it was once used by smugglers. Many ships have perished around the coast and the wrecks that lie beneath the waves make it a popular spot for divers. Above the beach there are a number of pubs and restaurants. The coastal footpath can be joined from here and leads towards Bigbury-on-sea in one direction and the coastal resort of Salcombe in the other.
