"We’ve been visiting the cottage for a few years now and love the location."
The property has had some much needed maintenance and improvements over the last couple of years which make it a much nicer place to stay.
We look forward to our next visit!

"Our only complaint was that the bathroom should have been accurately described to reflect the limited space with the sloping roof."
It was difficult for my elderly parent to deal with and actually stopped my husband joining me for a few days, as, at 6'4" he would not have been able to use this small space. (The sloping roof is also over both toilets) The bath should also have a mat and a handle for safety.
We also thought an outside tap would help to keep the house free of sand. And somewhere to hang wet beach stuff would be really helpful.

"Moult Cottage is in a fantastic location and great for enjoying North Sands."
The 3 large bedrooms make it easy to accommodate several guests and it was perfect for our family. The kitchen was well equipped and although the dishwasher was broken, it was replaced towards the end of our stay.
We felt that although the house was well equipped, we were disappointed to find that it was in desperate need of a decent deep clean as mentioned in previous visitors reviews. Soft furnishings were clearly dirty, there were marks on walls that could be easily cleaned, sand left from previous visitors and even dead flies squashed on windows. The sofas in the lounge felt damp even in August and when we lifted the cushions (searching for lost toys!) they were mouldy. Whilst we were appreciative of two bathrooms, snails had entered the bathroom through the vents and the shower temperature was so dangerously hot and uncontrollable that we chose to shower in another cottage that our family were staying in.
The cottage is great in so many ways but better cleaning would make all the difference.

"Perfectly placed property, new windows, carpets and doors very good."
Everywhere appeared very clean and lovely holiday home for 6 people. Only downside was the parking outside, it’s easier to park in the lane opposite. There were however an abundance of ticks on the dog so beware. The house is next to trees and long grass, dog even picked up a tick on the driveway. House itself is excellent, just walk your dogs straight to the beach!

"Photos sent showing the disgraceful state of the kitchen and bathroom areas especially ."
We had to clean the floors before we could walk on them ! The state of the place was disgraceful ! The cottage overall was very worn , stains on the mattress covers and the bedding very worn and off colour . Stains on the furniture and the cottage in general felt unclean . There wasn’t a quick turn around as the cottage was vacant for 2 days before we arrived and this was not 1 week’s dirt ! . Reply from Sykes was it is resolved as cleaning was offered after we complained ! ! . I do not feel the case has been resolved. We did complain the day after as the office was closed when we arrived. I did decline the offer of a cleaner for two reasons because the original cleaner had not done a sufficient job and secondly because we were already occupied in the cottage and we had started our holiday and had personal belongings in that cottage at that time and did not wish anybody to come into the cottage whilst we were there and felt uncomfortable as we had complained about the cleaner for them to come back. We should not have to be inconvenience because of the poor condition of the cottage which should not have been in that state to start with . I feel it’s unacceptable to say it’s resolved when we arrived to a cottage that was filthy and dirty and not one weeks dirt and grime either . you can clearly see from the pictures the state of the cottage and I had to clean the floors the evening we arrived as we could not walk on them. I’m absolutely amazed that both yourself and the owner feel it’s acceptable for us to arrive at a cottage in that state and not to offer any kind of compensation . We also had to request the “green “ rubbish bags as none had been left at the property , It's also the only property we have stayed in that does not supply oven gloves, but judging by the responses, we guess health and safety is not a priority. We were however left a list of other cottages in the area, along with all of the relevant key box numbers !

"We had a lovely week at Moult Farm Cottage."
The property was clean, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is perfect with the beach being so close by! Lovely walk in to Salcombe as well.
Parking at the cottage was a bit tight with another car alongside in one of the other cottages but was manageable. Small price to pay for a great location and no real need for moving the car day to day anyway!
We would definitely book again :)

It is in a stunning location and the cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Cottage is really nicely decorated and beautiful views from the main bedroom.
Only for the owners future reference..as my husband is tall we did need to swap to the bed in the back bedroom as the bed was longer and more comfortable.
Also the hoover gives off a horrible wet dog smell when used.

"We continue to return to this property for the location, which we really love."
However, as we have commented before, the cottage is in need of some attention both inside and out. We had to contact Coast and Country during our stay to ask for some repairs to be carried out. The bathroom is very basic, the windows need replacing, it would benefit from new garden furniture and the outside of the cottage is very tired. Considering the amount it costs to hire in peak season it really does need some attention to justify the price.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were sorry you felt that the property was tired. We have passed on your comments to the owners who were saddened to read this but hope that it did not detract too largely from what is a beautiful week in Devon.

"A wonderful cottage in the most perfect location for us as a family with young children - a hop, skip & jump over to the beach with the added bonus of a green for games and the Winking Prawn for fabulous food."
Ideally situated a short walk over to South Sands and a pleasant walk into Salcombe town in the other direction.
The cottage itself was extremely well-equipped, especially the kitchen which had everything you could possibly need. The rooms were spacious, clean, comfortable and well-presented. As previous reviews have mentioned, the shower pressure is a little low but this did not pose a huge problem and it's typical for this sort of property. During our stay the fridge/freezer was replaced and Coast & Country made us aware in advance and dealt with the transition with minimal disruption to our day.
We very much enjoyed our stay here and felt like we discovered a little gem in 3 Moult Farm. Highly recommended!
