Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at 36 The Salcombe. You can't beat that view! We hope you can visit Salcombe again soon. - Sykes owner relations
Mrs Macleod August 2020

“Thankfully the weather was lovely so we didn’t have to spend much time in the room which is quite dated and could do with an update-a bit more of a beach/Scandi look might make it feel more modern.”

... The curtains.... this is an apartment for adults not children!!!! Disappointing that the pool was unavailable but the view from the balcony was great and it was good to have a parking space which is a premium in Salcombe. Other guests need to be aware that the floor slopes as you step in and you would need to prop up the dining table if you plan to eat inside. The pull down bed is surprisingly comfortable and the apartment is well equipped for self catering. Would like to give Sykes a big thank you for resolving our plumbing issue so quickly! Would definitely return to The Salcombe but not to this particular apartment.

Mr Southin July 2020

“Great accommodation but for the price paid : 1.”

The bedding linen was tired and not to standard - it seemed a bit grubby. it needs to be replaced. 2. The bathroom needed a really good clean and this hadn't been done for some time. 3. For so-called prestige accommodation, only, only providing one champagne glass was annoying. I didn’t expect to have to go out and buy another one. Great position and yes we would go again. If the improvements listed above were addressed, the rating for the accommodation would increase from average to very good. It’s up to you if you publish this or not.

Mrs Murch July 2020

“We enjoyed our stay very much but were very disappointed the pools were closed even though Government guidelines said they could open.”

It was a shame as we booked expecting to use daily. The plumbing in the shower needs checking as with regular use gets blowback in tray.

- Mrs Murch, July 2020

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent stay at 36 The Salcombe. We too are sorry the pool is not in use this summer, The Board did not take this decision lightly. The swimming pool at the Salcombe is deemed to be a ‘shared pool’ and not a ‘private pool’ which means there are many rules and regulations that would need to be adhered to and these just could not be regulated as they should in The Salcombe Gardens. I am also pleased to see that following a visit by the plumber during your stay they were able to sort out the issue with the shower drain. We hope you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back to Salcombe soon. Sykes owner relations

“A good location for a short break.”

Convenient with easy access and a great view across the estuary.

“Although the apartment is small it does offer what is probably the finest view in Salcombe.”

It is well furnished to a good standard, however the "pull down" bed is a bit of a pain and although simple to operate it means you have to leave clothes lying around the living area when you retire to bed. It is almost too well equipped with cooking utensils - enough there to furnish a small hotel kitchen, and it does look as if someone has downsized from a large house and taken all the spare kitchen equipment and left it in the apartment which means a lot of the storage space is taken up with unwanted items. One big bonus is the car parking space, which in Salcombe, which particularly in summer must be an absolute plus.All in all though we had a great holiday and I would certainly mention the excellent service we had from the local office.Initially there was a problem with the Salcombe's WiFi that was quickly sorted and one day the car park barrier failed to open (due to some very high winds) but again the office wasted no time in getting it repaired. We would certainly use Sykes cottages in the future - and we did love Salcombe itself. Friendly locals, some great places to eat and drink and easy reach of Plymouth,Dartmouth and Totnes

Mr Wickenden July 2019

“The only negative points I would like to make are: One of the balcony doors wouldn't open as the top catch had stuck fast.”

The bottom catch was completely missing which meant it was never really secure. We wouldn't have minded so much if this was pointed out prior to our occupation so at least no blame could be apportioned to us, which I must point out hasn't. We were disappointed that the balcony hadn't been jet washed to remove Seagull excrement prior to our occupation. We understand that Seagulls are a persistent problem in this respect but the mess we saw was clearly dried and present for a couple of days at least.

Mr Morss June 2019

“Had another good week in 36 The Salcombe despite the disappointing weather this year.”

The building is looking so much better as a result of a lot of on-going improvements, and Emily the building manager is a welcome addition. Slightly disappointed to be told by your office that there will no longer be offers sent out to re-book for next year. It seems it's now down to me to remember to search for availability at the end of this season, so we'll wait and see how that works.

Mr B S Morss Jul 2017

“This studio flat is best described as having "Character", largely due to the age of the building.”

Slightly sloping floors and being able to hear the people walking about upstairs, go with the package. The interior is modern & well equipped, and we never tire of the views from the balcony, which is probably why we keep coming back!

- Mr B S Morss, Jul 2017

Thank you for your kind feedback in respect of your stay at 36 The Salcombe. It is always lovely to hear from our returning guests and we can quite see why - with such amazing views - you keep coming back! We look forward to see you again in 2018! Sykes owner relations

“Compact studio- location & views and balcony unbeatable.”

Few too many nicnacs within apartment for my personal taste and slightly old fashioned- however kitchen area & bathroom were sound.

- , Jul 2016

“A lovely position and a great balcony but the room itself we felt needed updating.”

- C Boddington, Jun 2016

Thank you for your recent feedback in respect of this apartment, which we will pass onto, and discuss with, the owner.
Whilst the fit-out and presentation of the accommodation is relatively simple (c3 Star) the apartment is very popular and has many returning guests as you may be aware. The balcony, central location and spectacular views are clearly a big attraction but we appreciate that the overall quality must be maintained to a good standard.
Best wishes and thank you again for your comments.

“Unbeatable view over the estuary from the balcony and the apartment is right at the centre of Salcombe.”

Tidy and well-equipped for its size, it is an ideal studio apartment for either the single traveller or a couple. A real bonus is on-site parking, a rarity in Salcombe.

- SALLY, Mar 2016

Thank you for your kind review regarding your stay at 36 The Salcombe. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and were able to appreciate the beautiful views throughout your holiday from the balcony.
