  • "Lovely little cottage in quiet court residence equipped with everything I needed and more."

    Friendly neighbors and, although parking not guaranteed, always managed to find a spot for a large 4x4.

    Thank you for your feedback. It is much appreciated. Property Owner

  • "What an amazing little bungalow for our week in Devon, a perfect home away from home."

    The owners have gone above and beyond in providing the extras to make your stay enjoyable, whether the teas and coffees, or the well stocked cleaning products they had pretty much thought of everything allowing you not to bring your kitchen sink. It was a clean, tidy and well presented holiday home that made an enjoyable home for my wife and two daughters for a week.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves, we try to keep it as we would like it ourselves and so pleased you appreciated it Property Owner

    Clearer info., rubbish disposal & recycling.( we transported our recyc. back to Surrey. We were very happy with our stay, W. Row.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Little Starboard. We will be sure to make the information in the property more clear and we are sorry that you had to take your recycling back home with you. We will also ensure the cleaner leaves out the welcome pack the owner kindly prepares for guests. The owners have made some improvements to the property including a new siemens oven, blackout blinds in each bedroom, new curtains on the front door and new lighting/decorations. We hope you enjoyed your stay and all the area has to offer and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

  • "Little Starboard is comfortable and very well equipped."

    It's in a good location, and only a ten minute walk to the centre of Kingsbridge. We enjoyed our stay. It would have been 5 Stars had it not been for the internet. There seems to be some restriction on it, making social media access difficult. Pictures won't download etc, etc.

    We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Little Starboard. What a shame that you were unable to rate it as 5 stars due to the internet restriction, which we, and the owner were unaware of. This has now been removed, and we could easily have remedied this for you during your stay if you had mentioned it especially as we had dealings with your party during your time here. We hope we can welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

  • "We arrived just before 3pm, at the same time as the cleaner so not the best start to our holiday."

    No communication re this. Cleaner was very quick but not very thorough. She also arrived before 10am on the day of departure which wasn’t very helpful either. The property isn’t in the nicest park of Kingsbridge. The car parking space wasn’t allocated and therefore wasn’t always available leaving us having to try and park on a not particularly nice street at times. Various items of crockery, cutlery, oven mits etc were soiled/sticky, with remnants of food etc on them. The shower tray didn’t drain on arrival so we were left from Friday to Monday without being able to use the only shower in the property. The TV screen was marked/scratched but subsequently cleaned by maintenance so presumably just dirty. Sykes were very helpful and reassuring re all of the above. The person that called from Coast and Country was rather defensive and dismissive. No additional toilet rolls, bin bags, cleaning products were left in the property. There are also no tea towels or hand towels for the kitchen. With the unfortunate bits out of the way the property is very nicely decorated with very comfortable beds and sofa. There’s plenty of crockery, cutlery etc to use during your stay. There’s also plenty of cupboard, fridge/freezer space. No wardrobes but good sized hanging rails and lots of drawers. It’s so light inside and there’s a lovely courtyard garden with a nice view from one corner. Bed linen was nice and plenty of bathroom towels were left. Kingsbridge and the South Hams are lovely. Kingsbridge has some good delis, a cinema, ice cream shops and various independent shops to mooch around. There’s lots of great beaches; South Milton, Bigbury, Mothercombe. Lots of lovely places to eat nearby. The Oyster Shack is a must, you’ll need to book in advance though. The ferry to Salcombe is lovely and the staff had great local knowledge for lovely things to do during our stay. We had lovely weather to really enjoy the area. We’ve booked several cottages through Sykes before and all has been well, I don’t think we’ve booked directly with Coast and Country before. Would we stay again, I’m not sure, I’d like to think this was a one off bad experience it’s a little disappointing that no one has checked in with us to check everything was resolved. We’d definitely stay in Kingsbridge again as it’s a really nice part of the country.

  • "Little Starboard was perfect for our family holiday, the house has been beautifully renovated, had everything you could need for a week's stay, the kitchen facilities were excellent and we felt very comfortable there."

    It was also spotlessly clean which is particularly reassuring at the moment. The location is also great, just a 5 minute walk to the estuary and into town to the shops, restaurants etc. There is also a playground just 2 minutes away if you have little ones. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this place to others.

KINGSBRIDGE

Salcombe 5 miles; Bantham 5 miles; Dartmouth 12 miles; Totnes 13 miles; Plymouth 20 miles.

The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of South Devon. Kingsbridge is home to a range of lovely independent shops and coffee shops, as well as a 3-screen cinema and an award-winning pub. During the summer season there are estuary excursions by ferry to Salcombe which lies on the banks of the Kingsbridge Estuary, making it one of the prettiest towns in South Devon. Salcombe is famous for its outstanding coastal views, rolling countryside, and is a watersports paradise for kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding and powerboating. It is packed with boutique shops, high street brands and independent producers, restaurants serving freshly caught seafood, and Salcombe Gin and Ice cream! Kingsbridge is perfectly located as a base to enjoy the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which also forms part of the South Devon Heritage Coast. Visitors can take a walk along the Kingsbridge Quay, wander through the narrow alleys off Fore Street.. Around the South Hams area there are picturesque ports, such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, together with sandy beaches at Blackpool Sands near Stoke Fleming and the two sandy beaches at Thurlestone. There are a host of small attractive villages in South Hams offering interesting pubs, local farm produce shops and pretty rows of cottages, plus further afield the waterfront city of Plymouth is a vibrant centre, housing the National Marine Aquarium, historic Barbican Quay and plenty of night life, including theatres, restaurants and bars. Kingsbridge can be easily reached by train to Totnes and then a local bus service which will take you to Kingsbridge town centre.
