  • "The apartment was excellent."

    However it wasn’t ready for us the bed was not in made laundry on the bed. In the kitchen the kettle was floating on a tray in about 1inch of water. There was no toilet paper. No fridge freezer for ice or our ice cream We requested a fan and we’re told there wasn’t one in the property so we bought one on our way to Salcombe There was a fan in the sitting room !!!

  • "The apartment was lovely, in a great location and ideal for a couple and child up to the age of 12 maximum."

    I made the mistake of booking the apartment for 3 adults which the Sykes website allowed me to do (I didn't read the complete listing which does include a note to say only suitable for 2 adults and 1 small child). Post booking this should have been picked up by the Sykes team. The 2nd single bedroom is tiny and has a small single bed in it and no floor space. Parking was very tricky due to the size of the spaces, only really suitable for small cars but I guess that's usual for a seaside town. The Wi-Fi was sporadic and made it difficult to watch the TV.

  • "Good central location with parking."

    Nice light accommodation. The strength of the WiFi signal is poor in the living room even though the router is in the next door bedroom. This means that you cannot watch streaming apps on the TV.

    Thank you Mr James for your feedback. We will endeavour to try to boost this signal for future uses. Property Owner

  • "A great location and clean & tidy flat."

    Could have done with more than half a roll of toilet tissue and one coffee pod. The listing didn’t mention that the owners/caretakers live downstairs. They also failed to mention this when they were outside on our arrival and we stopped to chat regarding the parking space. It only became apparent to us when they rushed in to clean the flat while we were loading our car to leave. This isn’t a huge issue, but it caught us off guard and we felt that our privacy had been compromised. I think it would be useful, and in the interest of transparency, for this to be mentioned in the listing for future guests.

    Thank you for your feedback Mrs Nevin, which we always welcome and try to act upon. We are sorry you feel your privacy was compromised and this is something we are looking into with Sykes as you should have been given time and space to exit by 10am, to then allow our cleaners to turnover our apartment for our next guests by 3pm. This has never been a problem in the past. Regarding your departure, I can categorically state we as owners or caretakers do not live downstairs. The cleaners are employed by Sykes and it is fully managed by them. It is likely that the cleaner parked below to avoid using a space that is needed, especially at this time of year. Could you please let us know what time you were exiting so as to avoid this happening to our future guests. The cleaners are not supposed to enter the apartment before 10 maintenance and clean ups. I apologise regarding the toilet tissue as this is inadequate and we have acted on this. The coffee machine is for our guests to use, we do not supply the pods and must have been one a previous guest left behind. We supply a small welcome pack for your arrival which we hope you enjoyed.

  • "Lovely accomodation in a beautiful location."

    Beautiful views from the main living area and the main bedroom. The only disappointment was the size of the second bedroom just too small and cramped. Also we did not find the bin bags and caddy bags till the last day so may ne better to leave them under the sink.

    Thank you Caroline for your comments, I will look into the placement of bin bags etc. Property Owner

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. You can also take the small ferry across the estuary to the beaches of East Portlemouth, and a walk to Gara Rock. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including sailing, 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.
