Mr Larcombe
October 2020

“Loved staying at 7 The Salcombe.”

It is a small apartment, but the location is brilliant. The view of the estuary is lovely.

It is a small apartment, but the location is brilliant. The view of the estuary is lovely. Reserved parking spot is so useful for Salcombe. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. I'd stay here again.

- Mr Larcombe, October 2020

Mrs Jefferies September 2020

“Apartment small but comfortable and well fitted out.”

View was marvellous and the building was quiet and restful, whilst in the middle of the town and all the facilities. BUT bed linen has seen better days, grey and sad looking and, when bed was stripped at the end of our stay, the mattress protector was clinging on to life by a few threads! It doesn't cost a vast amount to provide crisp and white bed linen.

- Mrs Jefferies, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback for 7 The Salcombe and we are so pleased you enjoyed your time in Salcombe. We are sorry that you felt the linen was not up to the high standards we would expect. All of our linen is freshly laundered ready for each booking however we are sorry to read that the linen provided may have seen better days, if we had known we would have been able to assist. Since your stay the mattress protector has been replaced with a new one and we have spoken with the laundry team in regards to the linen provided. We hope these points did not impact your stay too much and look forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe again soon. Sykes owner relations
Ms Barton September 2020

“My (grown up) daughter and I are pretty much addicted to this apartment!”

There are very few properties that are small enough to be just for two and yet the position of this is perfect which is why we have visited whenever we can - literally - over the last 30 years. The apartment is definitely bijoux but to have the luxury of an on-site secure parking space is such a huge bonus. This year of course with the added uncertainty of the pandemic to be able to visit at all was a privilege and a delight. The only reason I didn't give full marks for facilities being the lack of the swimming pool but absolutely understandable and acceptable in the circumstances. The apartment has always been clean and welcoming on arrival and of course this year with added protocols was no exception. I could go on but as we have already booked again for this apartment next year there's probably nothing more to add.

Mrs Swalwell August 2020

“I shared the apartment with my 6yr old granddaughter.”

It was perfect as she had the freedom to run outside in the garden safely, just a pity the pool was not open. We could walk to the ferry and shops etc so very handy. Had a really fun week

- Mrs Swalwell, August 2020
Mrs Powe August 2020

“Despite having the stay shortened owing to COVID cleaning measures I was met with food left in a cup in the cupboard and damaged / stained mattress protector which looked as though it had been on the bed for some time.”

I did email a complaint with photos of what I needed to clean before my holiday commenced but despite numerous attempts to chase have failed. It’s a shame really because we love this place and have stayed before - I anticipated exemplary cleaning standards linked to the check in and out times - evidently this was not the case

- Mrs Powe, August 2020

We are so sorry that you did not receive a response from us regarding the issues you experienced during your stay. We are also disappointed that the property was not presented to our usual high standards on arrival. We are always on hand at the local office to assist with any problems and could have remedied this for you should we have known. Despite this I hope you enjoyed Salcombe and all the area has to offer. Sykes owner relations
Mr Bird July 2020

“You should give compensation or a good will payment (as over companies have) when a facilitate described in you brochure is not available.”

In this case the swimming pool, which is a major attraction of this property, was not available.

- Mr Bird, July 2020

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. Whilst we know the loss of these facilities is a disappointment to holiday guests, the feedback we have received so far has been one of understanding and support of the steps being taken to keep people safe during their stay in a property. Despite the lack of the pool, we hope you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back to Salcombe soon. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Richards Mbe July 2020

“Loved the view, bed was comfortable , bathroom the basin was terribly small.”

But the view sold it to us, we have already booked for next year.

- Mrs Richards Mbe, July 2020
Mrs Earle March 2020

“This was a trip down memory lane.”

We holidayed in Salcombe for over 20 years until our children had grown up. It is a beautiful, typical Devon holiday destination. We know the area very well and it still brings a smile to the face. We revisited many of the familiar pubs, cafes and restaurants. A new addition for us was the Co Op. We were able to buy supplies for our apartment for breakfast, etc. so we didn't have to take anything with us. 7 The Salcombe offered comfortable facilities for a couples visit. The icing on the cake was the view - spectacular!

- Mrs Earle, March 2020
Mr Bird July 2019

“Great little bolt hole with super facilities”

- Mr Bird, July 2019
Mrs Susan Wardley

“7 The Salcombe is in a wonderful location.”

However it needs seriously updating eg the cushions on the chairs were torn and very dirty.

- Mrs Susan Wardley,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback in respect of 7 The Salcombe. We have now had the opportunity to pass your comments on to the owners. They were so glad to hear you love the location as much as they do, and wanted to pass on their apologies that the soft furnishings are showing wear and tear. The owners are planning a freshen up of the apartment for the next season after all the major refurbishments that had been programmed in for The Salcombe during the Winter 2018. We do hope you will return to Salcombe, the owners have such happy memories of Apartment 7, it is indeed a special place! Sykes owner relations

The view makes up for the size.

Mrs C King

“Small but ideal.”

The view from sun room is amazing (breakfast looking out on estuary and late afternoon winding down with a glass of wine...perfect). Lovely and quiet but was out of season. All equipped with essentials. Would definitely stay there again

- Mrs C King,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review of your recent stay at 7 The Salcombe. It sounds as though you had an amazing time! We do hope to welcome you back to this property again very soon. Sykes owner relations
Mrs S Upshon

“Great location but the patio doors leak so there is damp in the flat”

- Mrs S Upshon,

Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed to read that the property was not presented to your satisfaction. We will discuss your comments with the property owners and will look to rectify the patio door problem as soon as possible. Despite the issues raised, we hope you had an enjoyable holiday and look forward to welcoming you back to the South Hams very soon.

“We have stayed here a couple of times,but have decided not to return this year.”

The appartment is very small,which is not too bad. But there are a few small things which could make it a so much better A shelf or somewhere to put toiletries in the bathroom,a few flagstones outside the patio doors which would extend the sitting area,the temporary fridge this year took up a lot of room in the very limited sitting area,a small air conditioner,as there are no windows to open for the nighttime. The appartment is extreamly good value,stunning views,gardens,pool,position. I would pay more for just a few more extras.

- ,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review of 7 The Salcombe and we were sorry to hear that you have decided not to return this year. We have passed on your suggestions to the owner regarding the shelf, although space in the bathroom is at a minimum. A fan would probably take up less room than an air conditioning unit - again this has been suggested to the owner. As far as the outdoor area is concerned, this is heavily governed by the board at The Salcombe so additional flagstones would probably not be allowed, but thankyou for your suggestion nevertheless.

We were sorry that we did not have a smaller spare fridge available. We have passed on your comments to the owner regarding the various points mentioned. Thanks again for your feedback.

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.
