“I would just like to highlight the condition of the carpets and curtains.”

The carpets are heavily stained and the curtains are holed. I do wonder about covid cleanliness of the carpets. The freezer had been left to defrost so each drawer had about a cm of water sitting within it and the void below the bottom drawer had food waste within it. The kitchen bin is stained and looks unhygienic although I realise it may not be. Parking was difficult but an acceptable problem. The neighbours in the same complex seemed suspicious of us and unhappy about us accessing the pontoon even though a mooring is associated with the rental. We did not bring our boat but enjoyed sitting out there in the evening. The location is fantastic, the premises was available for us early, shortly after our arrival. Thank you for accommodating that. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday regardless but I would not recommend this property to others if asked, because of the above.

“Great location and mooring I personally don't find a problem with the parking my large estate car fits with a bit of effort.”

I also like no WiFi helps get the kids out. The main problems I have is the layout with the double bed downstairs not sure why my kids have a nice on suite room while I have to struggle in a tiny room with a double bed? Also the mattresses are terrible, unbelievably soft or worn out made sleeping even harder. The living room carpet is also looking very dirty and worn out. Would be perfect with a bit of maintenance.

“Brilliant This property was cheap and cheerful and good value for what we paid - this is Salcolme after all.”

Location in the centre is excellent, but there are drawbacks which are probably reflected in the price. Firstly parking - even if the garage wasn't small it is the only garage in the block that is positioned tightly even for a small car (which ours isn't) and parking at the door was too tight for our size of car so we had to park further away. This was okay as we were out early and back late so no zone charges, but be aware. There are spaces in the adjacent courtyard, but these are also tight/often occupied by those closer to them. The flat is practical rather than comfortable - the downstairs "double" can be a little cold (electric heater provided), but most facilities are provided. Looks a little dated but that is fine for the price. Co-op at the other end of the high street is useful There were some crabbing lines in the cupboard for use in the harbour. Overall it met our expectations.

Thank you for your review. We too think that 4 Island Quay is a great base for exploring all that Salcombe and the area has to offer. We hope that you will be back again soon! Sykes owner relations

“It would have been nice to have WiFi at the house.”

But it was lovely to stay there and had everything else that we needed during our stay. Thank you very much.

“The location is fantastic however there are several issues.”

.. The garage is next to useless, difficult to drive / reverse into plus it’s extremely narrow. The double bedroom is very small and the ground floor WC very narrow. The main bedroom with the en-suite is the best bedroom as the other small bedroom has the single bed up against the wall. Family bathroom in desperate need of an upgrade from an avocado colour. Kitchen ok.

“Property is in need of a makeover.”

Old melamine dinnerware. No WiFi. The downstairs bedroom is not suitable for a double bed unless you have no luggage!! It’s a single room really and should have bunks and that would allow floorspace to actually move in. They need a clothes rack for drying wet clothes as the tumble dryer is not great and no good for wetsuits of course! TV channels don’t work and you can only receive a couple. On the plus side the mooring is ideal. It’s a shame as the location is ideal.

“The location is excellent.”

The master bedroom and ensuite are well equipped and spacious. The kitchen is well-equipped although cutlery is of poor quality. The double room is in fact a single room with a double bed in it. It is too small to be useful as a double bedroom, with inadequate hanging space for clothes and difficult to negotiate during the night when visiting the toilet. The lack of suitable parking should be more strongly stressed as the garage is unusable unless you have a Fiat 500 or a Smart car. The TV only has 4 channels and sometimes they don't have a good signal depending on the weather apparently. There is no WiFi. Had the weather been kinder this may not have mattered but as we had typical British summer weather it would have helped.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your review of 4 Island Quay in Salcombe. We were grateful for your feedback in respect of the parking and although our property description does mention 'small car', we have also added that the garage is narrow (actual dimensions are 7' or 213 cms wide). Thank you for your comments in respect of the tv and wifi. Whilst we agree that wireless broadband is an essential service for most guests, not every holiday home owner currently supplies this option. We will continue to encourage all owners in this respect and will forward your comments to this particular owner. We do hope you choose to stay with us again.

About the location

SALCOMBE

Kingsbridge 7 miles; Dartmouth 21 miles; Plymouth 24 miles; Paignton 26 miles.

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?

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.
