“Beds very comfortable and kitchen well equipped.”

Builders next door, erected scaffold day we arrived directly in our view from balcony blocking sea view. Banging started at 8am some mornings.

Thank you for your feedback on your stay at Harmur and we're glad you found the beds comfortable. We weren't aware of any building work so we can only apologise if this impeded your stay. We hope we can welcome you back to the area soon. Owner relations

“Yes ! We were very disappointed with Harmur!”

It had deteriorated badly since our last stay years ago! !First impressions were that it was very tired and carpets were stained , edges around floors dirty and kick board in kitchen not attached! On arrival there was sand in the washing up bowl and a large piece of glass in the sink drain! The undersink cupboard was in a messy state ! With a small bin stained and dirty!Worktop edges were missing! The worktop lighting had problems ! Only one out of 3 worked! One came on and went off! Couldn’t have been done for months! The fridge had to be defrosted ! Hadn’t been done for months! There was mould around both showers we had to use the cillit bang provided ! The shower door tracks were filthy! The tap in shower room leaked out the top in use! Bins in both bathrooms weren’t clean! In the living room the Hope cove cushions on the settee weren’t clean! It was very hard to open the sliding doors to the balcony where railings and furniture were in need of renovation! In the living room and hall there were signs of excessive wear in places ! In the bedroom where my 8 months pregnant daughter-in-law was sleeping the curtain was unclean covered in mould -so she couldn’t sleep next to it! We phoned and the Salcombe office kindly brought out a thin summer curtain from their own home ! Upstairs was the major problem! Such a dreadful sewer smell when we arrived ! Despite cleaning and leaving fan on it was horrendous and we thought about going home more than once! Owing to the long waiting time for Sykes to answer calls we decided eventually after a couple of days to go to the Salcombe office where Gwen Ripley was very helpful and a plumber came that evening! An important piece had been taken out of the shower trap and so the smell was straight from the sewer ! He found it under the sink and put it back! 4 days we endured of that!! Toilet seat was badly worn too! So to be honest the holiday we had long awaited was awful in so many ways! Such a shame to see such lack of cleanliness and general upkeep! Whether a client is paying £500 or £3000 ! The accommodation should be clean and fit for purpose ! It wasn’t! I shall be very concerned to book with Sykes again as I feel you should have inspected the property and rectified all problems! It was not what I was expecting from Sykes or Harmur! We were supposed to be spending quality relaxing time with our family and it did not happen! Please come back to us with your response as soon as possible so we know other clients don’t go through what we did!

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay. All feedback received, whether positive or otherwise helps us to maintain the high standards of the properties. Unfortunately, due to a very busy season, the properties have been heavily used and will start to show signs of wear; especially as owners were not able to visit earlier this year to carry out any improvements due to the lockdown. We are glad that we were able to provide alternative curtains for the bedroom and that the plumber was able to diagnose and rectify the issue in the upstairs bathroom, although our apologies that this was not found on initial inspection. New curtains have been ordered to replace those taken away. The toilet seat and the taps have been replaced following your comments and the cleaning team since your visit has changed. We would like to thank you again for your comments and we hope to welcome you back to the area in the future. Owner relations

“Perfect”

Very comfortable accommodation, fabulous view and we had everything we needed. Perfect location for us, 5 min walk to coastal paths for walks with the dog, breathtaking views. Short walk to village which has great hotel, cafe and also a bistro where you can enjoy your food and the view in a heated pod - great idea! Very easy to get to places nearby. Loved it so much we have booked again for next March.

“We have stayed 3 times in this property.”

It is very well appointed with lovely views and easy access to the village centre. Overall it is very well equipped. A few things do need a little attention, i.e. the bed linen looks tired and discoloured, an oven glove would have been useful and a dishwasher would be fantastic! A lick of fresh paint too.

Mrs Donna Frift Apr 2018

“Harmur is fantastically located, it is a lovely apartment, well furnished and equipped with everything needed for a family holiday.”

The added touches of hand soap, washing powder and use of buckets and spades made it perfect. The only criticism is the style of heating, overnight storage heaters and one electric wall heater. It took a couple of days to warm the apartment and not being able to dry clothes/warm up from a day at the beach or bad weather was the only thing that let it down

“Super property,only 4 stars because the patio door was very stiff to open,my wife who is quite small had real problems with it,but otherwise it was lovely.”

“Really nice accommodation, which suited us well.”

Only things I would add would be a dishwasher and perhaps some soundproofing between the main bedroom and the neighbouring flat as we could hear them quite clearly!

About the location

HOPE COVE

Salcombe 4.6 miles; Kingsbridge 5.1 miles

The picturesque and unspoiled village of Hope Cove lies in the sheltered curve of Bigbury Bay on Devon’s south coast. A choice destination for families, the two beaches offering soft sand and rock pools for sandcastle building and fishing for small crabs. The town remains a fishing village where crabs and lobsters are still landed, however it was once used by smugglers. Many ships have perished around the coast and the wrecks that lie beneath the waves make it a popular spot for divers. Above the beach there are a number of pubs and restaurants. The coastal footpath can be joined from here and leads towards Bigbury-on-sea in one direction and the coastal resort of Salcombe in the other.

Gardens are shared. Limited mobile reception in Hope Cove. One well behaved dog permitted.
