"Wonderful property with spectacular views."
Easy walk to town center. The property is furnished to a high standard and the kitchen is well equipped.

"This is the second time we have stayed in this excellent property, which has wonderful views from many rooms, is very comfortable, warm and is well-placed for enjoying all that is best in Salcombe."
We had a wonderful stay. The steps up are steep, but that gives the excellent views and the parking is a big bonus. All small queries were very helpfully and quickly resolved by the owners, but our only contact with Sykes Cottages was when we arrived and found that the keys had not been left for us as promised. This was resolved in about an hour and we were glad it wasn't raining! We guess that the lack of replacement towels and sheets at the end of the first week, which we had expected, was due to COVID. Full marks to the owners but very little praise for Sykes Cottages, except that Channel View was clean when we arrived.

"Beautiful view and very comfortable home so I have given it 5 stars but could easily have rated it 1 star."
This was because we were significantly impacted by the building work happening next door. Coast and Country noted it on the listing but it was right at the end of the information about the property so very easily missed. We were woken at 8am every morning with heavy drilling noise which was not pleasant and impacted on our enjoyment of our holiday. Nothing the owner could have done as all perfectly legal I just wish it was made more obvious on the website as we had lots of booking options and would have picked somewhere else had we realised at the time of the booking.
Many thanks for taking the time We are pleased you enjoyed the amazing views and lovely house. We are sorry you were disturbed by the building work, as you say there is a red warning that flashes up when booking the property. Unfortunately, during recent times, ground work at the neighbouring building site involves piling and drilling. Fortunately, a recent update from the builders explain that all groundworks and evacuation will be completed in Spring 2022 and all infrastructure late 2023. We hope you enjoyed your stay in spite of the works and look forward to welcoming you back to the area soon.

"The weather was dire with rain every day and two named storms, so we had plenty of time in 2, Channel View."
The views are brilliant, the comfort, decor was perfect and all three bedrooms as well as the other main rooms all had great views. Any tiny issues were quickly resolved by Jane, who couldn't have been more helpful. By choosing February, we expected some rough weather, so brought PC and laptop and the internet enabled us to do lots of writing and work as well as reading and coastal walks when the sun shone occasionally. 2, Channel View is very well situated for the shops, restaurants and pubs and the excellent bookshop and other shops. Having car parking was very useful and the steps gave us some much-needed exercise from time to time. They were no problem for a couple of (reasonably fit) 75 year olds!
What a lovely review - thank you for your kind comments.
Hopefully we can welcome you back to 2 Channel View again soon (when the weather is more favourable!) Property Owner

"Although the property is in an amazing position with glorious views, the house itself was so very disappointing."
It seemed that the only effort made to ready the house for the next inhabitants had been changing the bedlinen, putting out towels and emptying the bins. The house was so very dirty - smeared grime everywhere, dirty kitchen utensils and drawers, dirty clothes left in a couple of the bedroom drawers, large patch of mould in the main bathroom, crumbs all in the table mats, etc. It was really upsetting to be aware of the state of the house - having to wash the pots and pans before using them, wiping down the surfaces - not what one would expect having paid a very high price for the high season. There were no house instructions showing where to find the fuse box for example. Coast and Country did send some cleaners round the next day after our arrival to clean through - but for the price we paid, not good enough. All very disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback following your stay. We were disappointed that the cleanliness was not up to standard for your holiday. Following a review, a new housekeeping team has been appointed for the 2020 season. Along with several upgrades to the property (new carpets, decoration) we are confident that all these issues have been addressed. Property Owner

"The standard of cleaning was only just adequate."
It seems the changeover only involves changing sheets and towels and emptying the bins. The oven was not clean, the kitchen floor was sticky and covered in crumbs and overall, the property needed a good clean including the windows.
Thank you for taking time to give us feedback on your recent stay at 2 Channel View. We would like to apologise that the property was not presented at the level we strive to maintain, if this had been reported on arrival we would have got the cleaners back there as soon as possible to rectify the issues you mentioned. We have fed this back to the cleaner and property checker and will ensure we are reaching and maintaining our usual high standards of cleanliness. We hope that you still managed to enjoy your stay and come back to Devon in the near future. Property Owner

"Fabulous location."
Comfortable house with amazing views. Loved it. Need to bear in mind 42 steps leading up to front door, so not for infirm/unfit but we were aware of this when we booked and this is why there are such lovely views being so high up.

"2 Channel View has one major problem!"
It's so nice you won't want to go home! The view is stunning!
Only downside is the 50 steps you have to carry your stuff up but the house and view made it well worth it!

"Great position with views over the inlet."
More should be made of the 54 steps to the front door on Coast&Country website as this could be an issue for people with mobility problems.
Loose guttering on top floor dormer window needs repairing.( Can be heard banging when windy which is annoying at night)
