  • "We have stayed in many of the apartments at Bolt Head including this one but we were astonished to find no washing up liquid, cloths, bin bags, dish washer tablets etc."

    A small pack of these essentials would be so appreciated as there is no shop anywhere near. I also contacted Sykes to hire some extra bedlinen and received no reply at all. Sykes seem to have lost their service commitment.

  • "The apartment was very clean and comfortable however we had a few issues relating mainly to a lack of instructions : !"

    . We couldn’t find details of how to connect to the wifi for several hours as it was in a strange place that wasn't immediately visible. Putting it on the hall stand would have been a better place. The internet connection was not working at 100% , I had to go to the nearby hotel for this. 2. We couldn't watch Sky tv or Netflix, only Freeview. There were no instructions for the tv. 3. It was difficult to find the switch for the heated radiators in the bathrooms, again no instructions. 4. I think that two front door keys would be preferable as in our case there were two of us and in case one set gets lost or left behind. 5. It would be good to have some fire instructions for exiting the property and to know that the alarm in the lift is monitored by a central station in the event of an emergency. Also one of the other flats left a lot of sand inside the lift and in the hallway , I am not sure who is responsible for cleaning this.

    Thank you very much for your comments, I hope you will find the following to be useful; Regarding instructions, these are kept in a kitchen cupboard, usually above oven, although there aren't any specific instructions for the TV as it is quite basic with a switch at the wall and right hand side of TV. There aren't any insructions for WIFI only a password which is printed on a laminate and hung in hallway along with instructions on how to switch bathroom radiators on and details of what to do in the event of a fire. The internet connection is usually very good bearing in mind Bolt Head is a headland and we are surrounded by sea, for this reason, 100% cannot be guaranteed. I would point out however, downloading a film takes quite a long time, hence why we leave a DVD player in the apartment. We quite often work form the aparment on laptops and we do not not have any issues. Our Sky package includes all of the usual channels excluding movies and sport as we would have to leave our pass code for this. We do however provide the App Platform which enables visitors to select Netflix etc and log in with their own account number. With regards to lifts at Bolt Head, there is a button (as in all lifts) that dials the lift company who then nofify the local fire brigade. Finally regarding the sand in lift and stairway/hall, this is looked after by Bolt Head housekeeping, however, neighbouring apartments, who do not let their property to holiday makers are very good at tidying at the end of their stay. Thank you for visiting No 6 Bolt Head and we hope to see you again in the future. Best wishes, The Dolans (owners) Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Bolt Head, it was hard to leave!"

    The flat is beautiful and the view from the Balcony perfect. The only reason I have entered a 9 rather than a 10 is there is location is tricky when you arrive by bus and no taxi's available, we ended up pulling our cases there which is pretty challenging! Obvs the hills make sure you get such a fantastic view, just a little more warning would have been nice. Thank you!

  • "On the day of leaving we had to take the keys back into Salcombe when they could easily have been left at the property."

    Negotiating Salcombe in a car isn’t fun. We had two cars as my dad is disabled, so travelling together. I left the property beautifully clean as I would my own home, stripping bedding, cleaning toilets, sinks and vacuuming, however In doing so I felt like a council flat tenant being threatened with losing my bond, rather than a holiday maker. I realise that this policy is in place for good reason, but if I was to pay £2,500 a week in a hotel they would be in my room everyday cleaning it for me. The property is fantastic with beautiful views we have used coast and country four times now. Before this camping in the area for 43 years.

    Reviewed by Robert4.7★Sep 2021

  • "Not the cleaniest of the rooms upon arrival, as used tissues were found under the main bed and hair strands in the corner of the kitchen / living room."

    The vacuum cleaner was found to be full and there was no vacuum cleaner nozzle attachment or dust pan available. The black bags provided to place used bed linen at end of stay seem too small. Tip/ Warning: something to keep the long seat along the back of the kitchen worktop away from the worktop wall would be recommended, as anyone tall can easily hit their back of their head on the very hard kitchen worktop edge when sitting down, OUCH!! The apartment was a good size, great to have a large upright fridge freezer. As the apartment could hold easily 5 persons, a 2nd set of keys would have been useful. A great week away for exploring the wider area, anyone who has trouble reversing a car along narrow roads should avoid this part of Devon! TIP: Fuel is more expensive in the area, IF travelling south along A38 enroute to Salcombe, call into TRAGO MILLS petrol station as its the cheapest in the area. A two vehicle group could have a problem with parking as only one parking space allocated, an arrangement with other apartments would help if not occupied? Beautiful place / location, best when the weather is good.

    Many thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are so pleased you had a great week although disappointed to hear you encountered some cleanliness issues on arrival. Please know that if you had made us aware of any issues during your stay we would have done our best to rectify them as soon as possible.

  • "This is a lovely apartment with stunning views, very well equipped and a high standard of decoration."

    It was exceptionally clean! The drive to the property can be a little daunting for those not used to the roads near South Sands with lots of reversing backwards down the hill! We had a lovely stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break. We struggle to find any faults but a couple of things that the owners may wish to consider would be investing in new pillows, they were a little flat. Also, maybe have lined curtains in the master bedroom as the current ones don’t keep out the light in the morning. However these things may not concern other guests.

  • "Two sets of keys would be useful."

    We had to ask for a second key and return again for a fob. Both key and fob are required to enter the apartment at all times, not just from the car park. The lamp in the twin room makes a fizzing sound occasionally, it needs checking.

SALCOMBE

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

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.
