“When we arrived, we found the heating/hot water not working.”

We tried phoning the owners, but with no immediate reply. We phoned their cleaners, and they sent someone over who was really great, but we still failed to get the boiler working. She phoned Sykes for us, and Sykes set up an alternative room for the first night for us, in a Premier Inn. It seemed to take a long time for the woman in the Sykes office to get the correct paperwork in the correct format to the Premier Inn, and we were kept waiting for about half an hour before being allowed into ...

It seemed to take a long time for the woman in the Sykes office to get the correct paperwork in the correct format to the Premier Inn, and we were kept waiting for about half an hour before being allowed into our room. In the meantime, the cleaners had succeeded in contacting the owners, who phoned us extremely concerned about our being able to get back in. They said they were trying to find a plumber to come out the following day - the Saturday before Christmas - but failing that, would come out themselves to try and reset it. Sykes were preparing to look for alternative accommodation for us should the heating not prove mendable. Thankfully, the owners were able to reset the boiler themselves the following morning, and we no longer had to call on Sykes to find us alternative accommodation. The personal attention from the owners, after the initial difficulty in contacting them, was brilliant. Sykes did ok, but could have been speedier in getting the paperwork to Premier Inn. This was difficult for us, as my wife has autism and, although she coped well with the disruption, the need to wait for the paperwork to come through was difficult and distressing for her. The staff at the Premier Inn were extremely helpful; but it's not a pleasant place to stay.

“The flat is clean ,well equipped and in a great location”

“Upon arriving we were a little sceptical, the roadworks outside and the entrance to the apartments but when we reached the beautiful door at number 3 we were gobsmacked.”

The owners of this property should feel proud of what they have achieved. We loved every minute of our holiday and even booked for next year before we set back off home ❤️❤️

“The apartment is in a great location, is well looked after and has a lovely comfortable feel to it.”

There are a couple of downsides - the small bedroom next to the bathroom has a partially glass wall so becomes very light as soon as the sun comes up - not so great if you are a poor sleeper. On the plus side,the beds are really comfortable. The view is good but you have to stand in the corner of the room by the window to see it so don't expect to sit looking out to the sea! we had a query about the hot water and the owners responded really quickly and were extremely helpful. Plan for being fully self catering - no "welcome" items and only one toilet roll provided!

Thank you for the feedback, and we hope you enjoyed your stay at the Salty Pilchard. I am very sorry to hear there was no welcome pack, this should have been provided by the cleaning team who I shall speak to about the matter. The sea views from the balcony are very spectacular, I hope next time the weather is good enough for you to enjoy them! Many thanks for your custom, Louise & Dave Sykes owner relations

“We have a lovely stay at The Salty Pilchard, all credit to the owners, who have made it very comfortable, clean and well presented with quality furnishings and every necessary item provided, plus more.”

The location is great for South Bay, with lovely walks nearby and access to town and the harbour, about 20-30 minutes. Thank you for providing a home for the week, looking forward to staying again, next year. Jane and Nik.

“The cottage was lovely, the best we have stayed in, thoroughly recommended.”
Miss Rhodes October 2018

“Very comfortable, cosy apartment with lovely views over the harbour.”

Good quality beds and bedding and everything we needed.
Mr Lomas September 2018

“Impressive apartment with all the bits you could possibly want - dishwasher, kitchen equipment, dvds, extension cables, books, games etc etc.”

Shower seal now looking a bit tatty, we did have to do a big clean on cutlery and plates and saucepans on arrival (a bit icky), needed to replace heating control flat batteries, main sofa hard and worn and how I wish that all rental property owners supplied a decent size tv these days but saying all that it really was a good place to stay. Good instructions - keys/directions etc.
Mrs Gordon June 2018

“Beautiful apartment with fantastic views of the sea and castle A real home from home will definitely book again!”
