Mr Thompson
February 2020

“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 ...

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!) - Sykes owner relations
Mrs Lock August 2019

“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.

- Mrs Lock, August 2019

RESPONSE POSTED IN 2020 - 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. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Smith June 2019

“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.

- Mrs Smith, June 2019

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. Sykes owner relations
Mr Mountford April 2019

“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.

“Great views - love watching the south sands ferry”

Thanks for your lovely feedback. We do agree that 2 Channel View offers the most stunning panoramic estuary views and together with the toings and froings of the brightly coloured South Sands ferry we can quite see why you would want to choose to this lovely location year after year. We hope to see you soon!

“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!

- Helen Horrocks,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review of your stay at 2 Channel View in Salcombe. We were so pleased to receive your feedback regarding the service provided to you by our team and it is wonderful to hear that you will be booking through Coast and Country Cottages again soon! We agree that that the stunning panoramic views over the estuary and out to sea from this property (as we were reminded of when we opened your lovely photographs!) make the steps up to it worth climbing! look forward to seeing you again soon.

“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)

Many thanks for your positive review in respect of 2 Channel View in Salcombe. It was pleasing to hear that you enjoyed the property's great position with its views over the Salcombe estuary. We are grateful to you for your feedback regarding the property description - it does state that a set of steep stone steps lead to the front door, however we will revise the description to mention the steps. The guttering issue has been mentioned to our property services team and the owner for their attention. Looking forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe very soon. Sykes owner relations

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.
