    Bed very hard having stayed 8 times now at hazeldene it must be a new hard mattress It’s about time the flat had a make over as looking tired Parking ok but better for a small car as tight to get it in Key arrangement much better now than going to the office at Salcombe This is probably or last visit to the property as steps are getting harder to manage

  • "The location of the property and the views were excellent."

    Although we were warned about the scaffolding, it did detract somewhat from the holiday, e.g. the balcony was very crowded and the bars did spoil the view. The balcony and outside furniture was also dirty, probably from the work. The surface of the dining table was tacky, even after wiping with a damp cloth. Some of the crockery and oven ware was not clean. We washed anything we used prior to using it. The only things we really missed were a hand brush and oven gloves. If they were there, we couldn't find them! Also there was no information booklet about the accommodation or local area.

    The flat was immaculately clean, light and airy, and everything we could have wanted was provided.

  • "This was our 3rd stay here."

    The location is excellent for North Sands and Salcombe (with steep hills, but this the area). Parking is brilliant and bedrooms/bathrooms/lounge are spacious with accurate listing. The heating is fantastic and the view from the lounge is absolutely stunning. However, we need to honest and things need addressing (we probably should have done this last year) Getting the mats off the dining table was a ongoing physical challenge (we did query this cleanliness with Sykes before our stay, after we had the same problem last year and seeing other reviews and were assured of the cleanliness). The table needs replacing. We contacted Sykes early in the trip as there was/is a constant bleeping in the lounge/kitchen. They came quickly and noted it was the fridge/freezer. It was stated the owners were happy to order another one, but then no further contact from the the Tues to when we left. This was unresolved and a week of bleeping. There is damp in the 2nd bedroom with black mold on the curtain lining, beds smelt of mothballs. The ensuite net curtain was black in parts, the extractor fan in the main bathroom has yellow liquid dripping onto the toilet, no idea what this was! Wallpaper is starting to peel off the walls. Really sorry for the negative review, but it does need addressing as we were very disappointed. Sykes, we have photos if you want to see them.

    Many thanks for your feedback, although we were concerned to read that the property was not satisfactorily presented prior to your arrival. As you will appreciate, we work very hard with our owners and housekeepers to ensure high standards are maintained, so it is very disappointing to read these comments. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. We are grateful for the comment in respect of the overall appearance of the property and will pass on your feedback to the owners. We do hope that you had an enjoyable holiday in spite of the issues raised and look forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe in the not too distant future. Property Owner

  • "This is our second visit to 1 Hazeldene."

    The property is in a fantastic location with great views but this year came with a significant price increase and the flat really needs some TLC now. It’s has all the basics, but is looking a bit tired. The flat was cleaned to a basic standard but wasn’t spotlessly clean and we cleaned it further on arrival. Overall a lovely stay but for this year’s price we are unlikely to re-book the same property.

  • "Comfortable flat, although it is a small kitchen area for 2 of us we managed well."

    we enjoyed our stay there, and hope to book again. on a negative side, the oven needs cleaning, which is common with self catering properties. The double bed is comfortable, but the bed linen needs replacing, as do the table and place mats on the dining table. the mat in the lounge is a trip hazzard. These are small issues which are easily rectified.

  • "In general the flat needs a good clean, especially at the start of a new season."

    I think the lounge in particular needs the carpet cleaned. The rug also is in a poor state. It has been like this for many years. The hall radiator is not working so the flat was not as warm as usual. I think most people would agree.

    Thank you for leaving us your feedback. We were pleased to read you enjoyed your visit to 1 Hazeldene. Many thanks for bringing the layout of the complex to our attention.

  • "Salcombe is very pleasant but the first part of the walk into town ( a steep footpath was too much for me."

    This, along with the 39 steps to the property ( down then up) makes it unsuitable for people with mobility issues. I have arthritic knees and it made life difficult for me. The flat itself is very nice indeed, has a stunning view, loads of storage space and comfy beds. It was clean and well equipped except the oven floor was dirty from previous cooking as was the grill pan (I didn't use these) There was no grill shelf/rack part to rest food on anyway, which was annoying. The showers both worked well but in the separate bathroom the drain in the shower did not drain well and it meant the tray filled with water before the first person had finished, so a second shower would make the water flood over the rim onto the floor. I checked to see if the drain was clogged with hair but it didn't seem to be. This needs attention. I would recommend 1 Hazeldene to younger fitter people who could cope with the steep climb back up to the flat, but not people my age unless good walkers. The parking space is extremely awkward and we had to ask another resident to move their car on one occasion.

  • "The apartment met our needs for the three of us but overall was a bit tired, especially in the kitchen."

    There was no dishwasher so don't bring tablets. No washing machine but we discovered a communal laundry room by the garage not mentioned in the instructions. That had a key safe for 1 Hazeldene but we had no code so not able to use it. For a family with children it would be useful but for us (3adults) it wasn't needed. It was convenient to be able to walk into Salcombe in the evening. Shame about the very steep hill to climb every time! It would be more convenient to have a key safe for the apartment to save all the driving in to collect the key at the start & end of the holiday. Salcombe is choked enough with traffic, August must be even worse. Parking slot for 1 Hazeldene is tight. Lovely sunsets from the balcony in the evening.

  • "One or two small snags noted."

    The "vanity mirror" light in the separate bathroom no longer works. Not able to properly close and lock any of the windows. Remote control for TV has a mind of its own; working quickly & perfectly in mornings, hardly at all in the evening! Kettle quicker to boil for hot washing up water than running the hot tap - in ANY basin! Please note that this flat does NOT have a dishwasher, so no dishwasher tablet required! Everything else fine, thanks. Oh, new stair carpet would be a very good idea, before someone trips on the holes in the present one!

    Many thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry that you had a few issues during your stay. We have passed your comments onto our maintenance team who will rectify these issues. We do hope you had an enjoyable stay despite these matters. We do hope you will use us again in the near future. Property Owner

    Basic facilities with average decor but suits our needs. We have happily been using this flat for the last seven years but disappointed with continued increase in rental price which is especially high for next year. An upgrade in facilities is needed to justify this increase especially in the kitchen area. That aside it is a cosy and lovely little flat suitable for both families and couples.

  • "Lovely holiday apartment with everything you could possibly need."

    The photos do not show the other bathroom which has a lovely large shower and is very modern. We used this one throughout our stay. There is also now a window seat in the living room which I spent considerable time sitting on watching the amazing views it offered. The garden of the property leads to a footpath which is 2 mins walk to the beach one way or 15-20 mins flat walk to the town the other way. I will say that the footpath is pretty steep so not suitable for disabled but we went with our 6 year old son who managed with no problems at all. It was perfect for us as we wanted a holiday without the need to drive anywhere and this is exactly what the location of this apartment provided. Thanks again for a fabulous stay- we’re planning our return already.

    I did park on the road below the property as the parking place allocated was very difficult to get in and out of. This did not in any way spoil the holiday, as we did not use the car very often. We really enjoyed finding the short cut to the road below the property, which led to an easy, flat walk into Salcombe.

About the location

SALCOMBE

Kingsbridge 7 miles; Dartmouth 21 miles; Plymouth 24 miles; Paignton 26 miles.

Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking, including the South West Coast path.
