“Lovely relaxing cottage with every amenity and great views of the creek.”

However, the bed was the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in!! If you have a frame then you need a firm mattress that comes to the top of the frame, not a soft one that comes half way up. To get out of bed I had to sit sideways and rock until I had enough momentum to reach the floor. Not good at all. Also the sofas and chairs are far too low for someone short and elderly. A great holiday but spoilt by the beds and sofas

“Would thoroughly recommend.”

Whole process from booking to leaving was easy. Cottage is lovely, amazing views in a beautiful and quiet location. Unfortunately didn't have the weather to fully enjoy the garden and decking, but was ideal for our dog who loved it and was totally secure. We really appreciated the hard work that had been put into the information pack and leaflets left. Great selection of games to play and nice to have the Smart TV and the Piggery. There is absolutely everything you could need here and it is a nice spacious cottage. Very dog friendly. Lovely to have the small touches like some flowers on arrival and tea/coffee. The heating system was good as it was very cosy especially during the storm. Nice bedding and towels. The beds weren't comfortable for me personally and were awkward to make with that type of frame and feel perhaps the bedrooms and bathrooms could do with a freshen up, but that was minor and would not put me off returning. Overall loved it, exceeded expectations as photos do not do justice and will be recommending.

“An amazing location next to the creek, with views of egrets and cormorants from the windows.”

However the listing states two kingsize beds, but they are both only doubles. My husband is 6 feet tall and had very uncomfortable nights, especially as both beds have foot boards too. Also the cottage would benefit from a thorough deep clean. The owners also need to look at the remote control for the dvd player (which we eventually found behind one of the cupboards) . Despite putting new batteries in, it still didn't work. A shame as there is a huge selection of films to choose from. Other than that it is well equipped and beautifully located.

“We have just got back from a wonderful 4 nights at Creekside.”

The pictures do not do it justice at all, it is a stunning area with beautiful views across the creek . The bungalow is fully equipped with everything you could need including a great selection of games for the rainy days. The dog loved the garden and sitting on the decking watching the world pass her by. The only thing we would have changed is the length of our stay so we have just booked for 7 nights next year .

- Tracey, October 2023

Thanks very much for your kind review. It is difficult to show the beauty of the creek in pictures. We are delighted you have booked for next year- thank you! Property Owner
Brenda October 2023

“We had a great stay at Creekside, unfortunately the bifold doors would not open onto the terrace on the day we arrived ( very warm) but Paul came and fixed it .”

Unfortunately the weather changed so we couldn’t sit outside after all. Every thing was there and it was all good quality although we did eat out each day. My friend wants to go there again next year with her daughter. Definitely a property to return to.

- Brenda, October 2023

We are sorry to hear there was a problem with the door. I'm pleased it was fixed, and that otherwise you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again! Property Owner
Linda September 2023

“We loved this property, watching the tide coming in and out.”

There was everything you could need in this property. Would like you to know that the window in the dining area . Felt really draughty, we think the seal may need replacing. Thank you for a lovely break.

- Linda, September 2023

Many thanks for your feedback. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. I will check the window draught you have mentioned and find the source and fix it. Being on the creek it can get strong winds so the seals need to work! Property Owner
Jane September 2023

“The location is amazing right on the estuary.”

End of season and property was a bit tired ,hoping this will have been sorted as we are returning in march. Loved the bird watching the kingfisher is amazing.

- Jane, September 2023

Thanks very much for your feedback. It’s very helpful to hear your comments and helps us to address things that we need to improve. Pleased you saw the kingfisher! Property Owner
Kevin September 2023

“The view was stunning, the accommodation had everything you could think of to pass the time, games etc.”

Would book again.

Catherine June 2023

“Had an awesome holiday at Creekside.”

Loved your bungalow and its amazing location. Thank you for the welcome biscuits for us and our dog. We brought out blow up kayak which proved so easy to launch from your steps down to the creek. I don’t think your photos advertising your property do it justice at all. We would be very happy to share some of our photos and videos with you and Sykes holidays to enhance your profile if you wish - just let us know.

- Catherine, June 2023

Thanks so much for your kind feedback. You're right about the photos- they don't show how close to the water Creekside is- so I've taken some more and they will go on the site shortly. Very pleased you enjoyed your stay- and thanks for coming. Property Owner

“Fantastic place in a fabulous setting.”

Would have given full stars for everything if the heating hadn't been on without us being able to change the settings. Had to wait until after the Bank Holiday (3 days) to phone the maintenence company. They didn't know about the heating system. Later that day I received a surprise email from them asking for photos of the Nest control. I duly sent the photos, but didn't get a response. I called again the following day to be told that the person I'd spoken to wasn't working that day. I received a call back later that day to say the heating had finally been turned off. It was great to have plenty of crockery, cutlery and glasses and well equipped kitchen. It would have been nice to have been able to open the bathroom and lounge main windows, but there were no keys specifically for those windows. It would also have been good to have blinds on the kitchen windows by the table. A minor maintenance issue - the water doesn't stay in the ensuite washbasin. It would have ben good to have had a handle to help get in and out of the bath. We had a very able-bodied older person with us, but they didn't feel comfortable getting in and out of the bath for showers. There were no anti-slip mats for use in the baths. Having said all that it is a fantastic location and very comfortable accommodation.

- Nicola, May 2023

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are pleased you liked the house but very sorry you had heating problems and some of the window lock keys were missing. We have identified the heating control problem and believe it shouldn't be able to fail again. I have now checked and replaced the window keys in every room. It is really helpful to have your feedback so we can fix these problems. Property Owner
Mavis May 2023

“My husband, myself and our dog really enjoyed our holiday at Creekside and want to come back again next year.”

The views from the windows were wonderful and so relaxing and the cottage itself is very comfortable with warm rooms and Smart TV. We cooked a few meals and snacks in the amply equipped kitchen and sat at the kitchen table enjoying the sight of the creek. Thank you for the milk, logs and flowers. Sadly our friends were unable to accompany us but maybe next time. We ate twice at The Globe Inn and had delicious meals, especially the Sunday lunch. Our dog loved the garden which we hadn't realised runs right round to the front, and he spent lots of time lying on the lawn and also watching people and birds from the deck. We did tie a lead to secure the front gate in case anyone came in the gate and he was running free, because he might have run into the busy road, so it felt safer. (The postman and gardener did come in but when we were out). The front walls are a bit low and he could have jumped over if he had been so inclined but he's not really a jumper, more a looker! Our only difficulty was locking the patio door as it did not quite align with the next panel but we did manage. Perhaps it can be looked at as we were worried we might break it. We think it has been repaired at some time. However, this will not stop us booking for next year and we hope you will have us back. Thank you.

- Mavis, May 2023

Thankyou very much for your feedback on the door lock; I will arrange to have it checked ASAP. Your point about the garden walls is right- a highly motivated and athletic dog might decide to jump for the creek (or the birds there)! As dog owners ourselves we haven't had any problems to date, but it is worth future visitors being aware, and tethering their dog if they consider it a risk. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay at Creekside, and thankyou for your helpful and kind words. Property Owner
Sharon April 2023

“House is clean and tidy and well equipped.”

The information folder was the most detailed I have ever seen - thank you. The double room near the creek was hard to sleep in due to incessant humming noise (from a pump?). Having hurt my back prior to the visit I would have found a walk in shower of benefit. I’m sure this would be appreciated by other visitors. The weakest area was the lack of comfort in the garden. The picnic bench is useful, but not relaxing and the two loungers were well worn and very shabby - new covers at least are required.

- Sharon, April 2023
Jon April 2023

“A lovely home adjacent to a fantastic creek.”

We had fabulous walks and it was so relaxing. Definitely be booking again.

Sarah March 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Creekside!”

The photos didn't do justice to the wonderful views down the creek from every room. It was a week of high tides so the water was lovely and we watched boats being put back in the water. The house is very comfortable and the heating was perfect. Lots to do in the area and in the house too with games and a good tv system. Will definately look at bookng again as I loved it!

- Sarah, March 2023

Wea re delighted you enjoyed your stay- many thanks for your feedback and hope you can go again. Property Owner
David February 2023

“Unfortunately on arrival the heating was not working.”

On reporting this we were promptly given several heaters to use plus wine and chocolates as an apology. The staff organised a plumber to attend who fixed the problem and the house warmed up quickly. We were very impressed with the service which is credit to Sykes Cottages. It's our second time staying here and we love the location. Many thanks.

- David, February 2023

Many thanks for your kind review despite the initial heating problem. Our property management team did their best to fix the issue, and I'm pleased you could enjoy the rest of your stay- especially as you are returning guests. Many thanks for your understanding. Property Owner
Catriona February 2023

“Wow! What an unbeatable position on the Frogmore Estuary, Creekside has.”

The property far superior to its listing in real life! On entry the house was spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming- with tea, coffee, milk and artisan biscuits provided and fresh flowers on the table. The beds were comfy and the towels freshly laundered. The kitchen is more than amply equipped for up to six people and, although the table is a squeeze, the views at meal times are stunning! There was plenty of hot water and even lots of kindling and logs for the fire. We didn’t use them but the washing machine and tumble dryer are easily accessible and convenient. We did use the crab lines though, and caught a haul of 51 in Dartmouth! Creekside is a very special place, the owners make it exceptionally welcoming but the star of the show has to be the location- with views of the tide turning and fabulous sunsets- it can not be topped. We walked along the estuary at low tide and saw the lime kilns, various water birds, and stunning views but also- a deer and an owl. Our trips were to Bantham (always a treat), Dartmouth and Salcombe. The Swell Deli had the best Devon Pasty we’ve ever eaten, and The Cod Father provided superbly fresh haddock and chips. The Fishmonger, in the old market place, in Dartmouth provided us with the most friendly customer service ever- as well as freshly made crab sandwiches (with banter on the side!). Of course, Salcombe Dairy ice cream, with a fudge stick, is a must for any trip to the South Hams. Creekside comes highly recommended for its location as well as the amenities and comfort it provides. Although we enjoyed days out, it would also have been ideal for my mother, who is less mobile, as the Creekside views provide daily ‘entertainment’ of their own.

- Catriona, February 2023

Thankyou very much for your great review! It’s really helpful to others who may be considering Creekside to give some detail so they can decide whether to book it. It’s great you saw a deer- I haven’t seen one in 18 years! Hope to see you back again one day, and thanks again for your review. Property Owner
Anthony December 2022

“Well equipped cottage with fantastic views.”

Very clean and well maintained. Beautiful walks for the dog nearby and the bonus of a secure garden. Although weather was below freezing for the week, we were cosy with the heating and open fire. Lovely winter break. Highly recommended

Really pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thanks very much for your lovely feedback. Property Owner

Rachel October 2022

“Lovely property, fantastic location right on the creek.”

Great for watching the wildlife. Comfortable too. Our only suggestion would be to have one of the bathrooms with a walk in shower as our parents in their 80s struggled with shower being over the bath.

- Rachel, October 2022

Many thanks for your feedback and we are pleased you liked Creekside. The walk in shower is something we had'nt thought of. We will remember this for our next bathroom refurbishment. Property Owner
John August 2022

“The cottage was lovely.”

Clean and in a good position. The kitchen was well equipped. We had a really good time there. The dining area was disappointingly small, would be a real struggle if the booking had been for 6. We were fortunate to have good weather and were able to use outside table.

- John, August 2022

Many thanks for your feedback and we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. I'm sorry you were disappointed with the size of the seating in the kitchen. The seating area in the kitchen is small compared to the rest of the house, and is most comfortable for 4. We say in the Sykes description that it can seat 4 comfortably, (and 6 at a pinch). We find larger groups tend to eat outside or in the living room. Property Owner
Steve July 2022

“Fabulous accommodation in an excellent location.”

Our grandchildren and their parents made good use of the creek, kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming. The view down the creek, from the patio/decking was exceptional. Access to the water was from steps off the decking. We have never been so close to water! We had an excellent water sports experience across the two weeks stay. The accommodation was just right for the six of us, and one dog. Three good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms both with shower. A decent lounge with direct access onto the patio. A well equipped kitchen with ample storage space and the largest array of cutlery and crockery we have ever seen in holiday accommodation! We made good use of the separate laundry and Piggery (playroom). The local pub was a very short walk and provided excellent pub food that could be eaten inside, in the attractive two tiered beer garden, or packed up as takeaway. We only we could have stayed longer.

Glyn June 2022

“Creekside was exactly what it said on the tin.”

Very well appointed detached property, spacious, airy, secure and comfortable with close proximity to doggy walks, water, bakery/nicknack shop, and fantastic pub serving sumptuous food.

- Glyn, June 2022

Ah- great that you enjoyed your stay.Thanks for coming. Property Owner
Bonnie May 2022

“It would be fabulous given the location of creekside if visitors had access to a canoe or rowing boat linked to the property.”

- Bonnie, May 2022

We did look at this but it is difficult to maintain a boat for guests to use- and make sure it's safe- when we are not near the area. If guests have their own canoe or paddleboard , and can bring it with them, it is easy to launch them on the public slipway which is 30 metres from the house. Property Owner
Valerie May 2022

“Just returned from a week's stay at this lovely cottage.”

Everything we could possibly need was provided by the owner, and we had a wonderful, relaxing time there. The views from the house were stunning. We ate several times at the Globe Inn and would thoroughly recommend it. The bus stop is just a short walk from the property and we travelled on the bus to Dartmouth.

- Valerie, May 2022

We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Creekside. The views are lovely and there’s always something happening in the creek-boats or birds or sunsets, and the Globe is a great pub to have a short walk away. Many thanks for your kind review. Property Owner

We had an amazing weekend , fortunate with the weather , and found lovely beaches to run the dog. Nice touches on arrival of flowers , milk and dog treat made us feel welcome immediately, thank you .

David February 2022

“This property could not have been better.”

It was very clean, comfortable, well equipped and in a fantastic location. We really appreciated the flowers and milk and our dog loved his treats. Unfortunately we had car problems which meant we had to leave early and in the process left our wine supply in the pantry - hope someone enjoys it. We look forward to returning to this fabulous property.

- David, February 2022

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Creekside- and that your dog liked his treats, and hopefully his walks! I hope you managed to sort out the car problems and sorry to hear it cut your stay short. We would love to welcome you back. Property Owner

“We absolutely loved our break at Creekside.”

Fantastic well equipped property and beautiful waterside location. Lots of dog walks nearby with stunning scenery. We had an issue with a leaky basin in our en-suite which was quickly rectified the same day - excellent service, thank you! We shall definitely be back!

- Jo, January 2022

Kingsbridge 4.1 miles; Salcombe 9.1 miles

The picturesque village of Frogmore, located at the head of Frogmore Creek, is surrounded by stunning countryside and is just three miles from the pretty market town of Kingsbridge and a 10-minute drive from Slapton Sands, which makes it a fantastic holiday destination for those looking for a tranquil spot that’s in easy reach of a range of attractions. Walking from Frogmore to West Charleton along the water’s edge is a great way to see the creek before turning inland and heading north through West Charleton. This pretty village is well-known for its excellent bakery, traditional pub, beautiful creek and perhaps most of all, it’s family-focused annual regatta in August.
