Mr Tim Meadows

“This is a clean, well-presented, fairly modern apartment, conveniently located very close to South Sands beach and the National Trust property, Overbeck's.”

However, we were disappointed that there was no local-food and milk welcome pack when we arrived, as we have become used to this nice touch at other holiday properties. Also, neither of the bathroom extractor fans were working; although we eventually traced the problem to both the isolator switches (located high-up on the walls outside each bathroom) being set in the "off" position. The ground floor master bedroom also felt slightly damp throughout our stay, despite opening the windows ...

However, we were disappointed that there was no local-food and milk welcome pack when we arrived, as we have become used to this nice touch at other holiday properties. Also, neither of the bathroom extractor fans were working; although we eventually traced the problem to both the isolator switches (located high-up on the walls outside each bathroom) being set in the "off" position. The ground floor master bedroom also felt slightly damp throughout our stay, despite opening the windows regularly. The road to the property is incredibly narrow and steep; meeting cars coming the other way was like playing Russian roulette and not recommended for a nervous driver! The first floor, containing the lounge, kitchen and dining area, is within the roof section, so was always very hot and more difficult to ventilate with the Velux windows.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review in respect of your recent holiday. It was pleasing to hear that you found the accommodation to be clean and well presented on arrival. As far as the suggestion of a welcome pack is concerned, most of our self catering properties do not supply milk, coffee, tea etc, however this is something that some of our owners are considering. The bathrooms all have 'overrun timers' on their extractor fans and we are sorry that the fan isolation switches had not been on prior to your arrival -we will ensure at changeover that they are switched on in future. As far as your comments regarding ventilation on the first floor are concerned, in addition to the Velux/standard windows there are also sets of large patio doors at each level which can be opened to provide increased levels of ventilation to the accommodation . We do appreciate that the approach road to the South Sands area, like many Devon local roads , can sometimes be challenging, especially during the busy part of the season. On a positive note, we were pleased to hear that you found this apartment to be in a convenient location for both South Sands Beach and just a short walk from the National Trust property at Overbeck's with its beautiful sub-tropical gardens. Thanks again for your feedback, we do hope to welcome you back to the Salcombe area again very soon. - Sykes owner relations

“Very happy with the apartment.”

The main beef is lack of wifi. Also they do not supply bath towels.

Many thanks for your positive review in respect of your stay at 19 Bolt Head in Salcombe. We do agree that wireless broadband is an essential service for most guests but not every holiday home owner supplies this option. We will continue to encourage all owners in this respect and we will forward your comments to this particular owner. Thank you for your comments regarding the bath towels - this owner does not offer towels as part of their rental. We do highlight the details in our property description and offer guests the opportunity to hire or bring their own towels. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we do hope to welcome you back to the Salcombe area very soon. Sykes owner relations

“Downstairs smelt of damp”
“Beautiful flat, well equipped, great location.”
“The apartment is very comfortable for our needs.”

I meant to leave feedback that the hook on the bathroom door had fallen off and the outside light hasn't got a bulb. As ever, it would be good if there was some wi-fi!
“Location excellent.”

Was everything we needed. Very light, comfortable apartment.
“Not visiting until Sept”
