“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. ...

The icing on the cake was the view - spectacular!

“Great little bolt hole with super facilities”
“Nice and clean, warm and plenty of hot water, also good to have a parking spot, and very central.”
“Wheel chair access difficult over grass.”

The tap over the main sink appeared to leak when a tap was used on the floor above. The sliding doors need their grooves to be oiled. People arrived late on 16 May either next door or above and could be easily heard inside their room moving furniture and talking, so the sound proofing could be better.
“Very clean, but a little smaller than expected.”

Kitchen facilities limited, no hob which was a surprise, but otherwise a nice little bijou flat with an amazing view.
“Loved the apartment.”

Very clean and the views were amazing. Would like to return.
“We like Number 7 and have stopped there before, but it is getting a bit expensive.”
“For a couple the flat was the best position possible.”

It was presented to a high standard which makes a HUGE difference. The bed and mattress was the best we have ever slept on. An excellent find and will book again definitely. Short breaks would be brilliant as we able to part weeks off season.
“Excellent”
“HAVE ALREADY BOOKED FOR NEXT MAY.”

VERY SUITABLE FOR US. HOWEVER....COULD DO WITH A COLLAPSIBLE AIRER TO DRY TOWELS AND A SHELF OR TWO IN THE SHOWER. THERE WAS A VERY MUSTY/FISHY SMELL WHEN WE ARRIVED WHICH WE MANAGED TO GET RID OF WITH AIR SPRAY AND OPENING THE FRENCH WINDOWS. IT DID NOT DETER US FROM RE BOOKING. LOVED IT. PAT AND MALCOLM WOOTTON
“Like all the Salcombe apartments No.”

7 has amazing views and the convenience of being in the town with a car park space. The accommodation was pleasant but the lack of space a little challenging, especially the bathroom! Lovely comfortable bed but some blackout blinds or curtains would help a good nights sleep as the sun shines straight in - bad enough in April when we were there but June will be a big problem.

Many thanks for your positive review regarding your recent stay at 7 The Salcombe. We are grateful for your valuable feedback and have passed your comments on to the owners for their attention. We do hope you enjoyed your holiday and look forward to seeing you again soon. The Team at Coast & Country Cottages Sykes owner relations
“Just love this little apartment.”

Suits the two of us just fine. Would like same week next year or a little later if possible.

Thank you so much for your kind review in respect of your recent stay at 7 The Salcombe, in Salcombe. I understand you have already made a provisional reservation for 2016 but if we can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us on 01548 843773. We look forward to welcoming you back Salcombe next year. Clare Levy Marketing & Sales Manager Sykes owner relations
“7 The Salcombe is in a great position and is a very good but small studio flat.”

It would appear that the owners have not taken note of previous comments as the very tight studio could do with minor adjustments, like shower room towel rail, shower room toiletries shelf/cupboard and small hob would be more useful than a complicated microwave. The staircase down to the lower level flat is damp and smelly and the general building is tired. I would suggest the owner actually lives in this flat for a week to understand its limitations.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your valuable review in respect of 7 The Salcombe in Salcombe. We have forwarded your feedback directly on to the owners and they have noted your comments regarding the heated towel rail and shower room storage. The possible provision of a portable induction hob for the kitchen will also be investigated. The owners do stay at the property for 2 weeks every year and were concerned and disappointed to read your comments regarding the staircase area as this has just been redecorated and recarpeted. They have also pointed out that the smell could be due to a drain problem which has since been rectified. We do hope that you enjoyed your visit to Salcombe and your holiday in general, in spite of these issues and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Sykes owner relations

“The apartment was cosy,and had everything we needed.”

It was clean and comfortable. We did like being on the ground floor to access the garden on a whim, and be able to be right by the water's edge. We very much hope we can return next year. Salcombe is the best!!

Many thanks for your kind review in respect of your recent stay at 7 The Salcombe. We were delighted to read your comments and do agree that "Salcombe is the best!" Hope to see you again next year Sykes owner relations
“Tiny studio appartement but with best view in Salcombe.”

Perfect for two like us who want to be out and about most of the time. A bit more attention could have been paid to cleanliness. The floor was quite dirty and it is a pity that the smelly vacuum cleaner was kept in the wardrobe. However, fabulous location made up for it and we would stay again.

Many thanks for taking the time to complete your positive review in respect of your stay at 7 The Salcombe in Salcombe. We were delighted to read how much you loved the views and fabulous waterside location of this property. However, we were sorry and disappointed to hear that some aspects of the cleaning at the property were not up to the usual standard expected and this will be followed up with the housekeeper. A request will also be made for the vacuum cleaner to be checked, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. We hope to welcome you back to Salcombe next year. Sykes owner relations
“Flat 7 was ideal as my mum was staying in flat 32.”

Although it is a studio flat, so quite small, it was fine for my husband & me. We were told the spare fridge would be removed by Monday, it wasn't, so after a phone call to Coast & Country it was removed the following day. The only thing the flat needs is an airer as there's no where to dry clothes etc.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your review in respect of 7 The Salcombe in Salcombe. We were delighted to read your comments regarding our service and pleased that we were able to act promptly. Your comment relating to the airer has been passed on to the owner for their attention. We do hope you had an enjoyable stay and look forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe in the very near future.
Further to your recent review in respect of 7 The Salcombe, we have now heard from the owners regarding the airer. They were grateful for your feedback and will look into this for next year. Thank you again. Sykes owner relations
“Excellent”
“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.

“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

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

The view makes up for the size.

Thank you for your review of 7 The Salcombe- we love the view from the property too. We do hope you choose to stay with us again soon.

“7 The Salcombe is in a wonderful location.”

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

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
“Very clean and comfortable.”

TV reception was poor, however due to the excellent weather, it had very little use.
