“1st of all I would like to say Sykes were great and kept us up to date right from the start as always.”

The west wing is obviously an old property and one would normally expect maybe to smell a bit of damp and see a bit of wear and tear. However, the place was immaculate and without doubt a 10 out of 10 for cleanliness. Beds were comfortable as was the lovely leather sofas. kitchen knives and pans were all very high quality and all in all the accommodation was well presented.

The west wing is obviously an old property and one would normally expect maybe to smell a bit of damp and see a bit of wear and tear. However, the place was immaculate and without doubt a 10 out of 10 for cleanliness. Beds were comfortable as was the lovely leather sofas. kitchen knives and pans were all very high quality and all in all the accommodation was well presented. Anyone wishing to stay during the winter months would be advised to light the stove in the lounge as this room became quite cold when the temperature dropped. The adjoining property has a very lovely lady there who is most helpful, unlike her mother in law who made it clear that dog walking in nearby tracks was a non starter as she owned them, although no signs were there to tell us this was the case. The area also had many good restaurants and places to visit. Dartmouth and Salcombe being two of them. All in all good value and a nice place for a stay.

“Friendly owner who greeted us on arrival.”

Very comfortable. Plenty of hot water, heating,lovely beds and bathrooms. Tvs in all bedrooms. Missed welcome pack. First time we have encountered this. Also no toys or games for children ( As it rained non stop all day and every day non stop for a week parents would have appreciated this. Added to which no books to read) These are complimentary gestures which mean so much to visitors. Having had our own holiday to let bungalow in Devon and from the feedback all our visitors commented how appreciative they welcomed these extras we provided. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay though and very well equipped with top quality equipment in this spotlessly clean South Wing working farm.

“The south wing was a lovely place to stay, and central place to get anywhere, the views where lovely and it was so quiet there, plus the beds were so comfortable.”

“A few thoughts re this holiday letting.”

First off, we certainly enjoyed our stay there over the three days we were there. A few pointers for the owners to take into consideration. First, there was no leaflet about how to use either the Rayburn or the hob. Second, there was a freezer under the stairs, behind the ironing board. We weren't sure if that worked or not. We didn't find it straight away but were surprised when we did. Third, there were no details of where to put all the rubbish when we left the property. We found some wheelie bins in an open barn but the details on those bins of what they took did not coincide with what was written on the large plastic refuse bags that were left under the sink. We separated the rubbish as best we could. Fourth, we never saw anyone to speak to about the property. The owners were obviously there in the main house but never made contact with us at all. Fifth, in the twin room, the door that connects that room to the owners' accommodation does not seal all the way around and so the light was shining through into the the twin room during the night. Also, our grandsons who were sleeping in that room could hear the noise coming from the main residence. Finally, on our last morning a local shop had delivered some groceries to the main property and left them by the main front door. For anyone staying longer it would be good to know that a grocery delivery service is available.

About the location

SHERFORD

The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of south Devon. During the summer season there are river excursions to Salcombe to see the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which also forms part of the South Devon Heritage Coast. Visitors can take a walk along the Kingsbridge Quay, wander through the narrow alleys off Fore Street or visit the Shambles, an Elizabethan market arcade. Around the South Hams area there are picturesque ports, such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, together with sandy beaches at Blackpool Sands near Stoke Fleming and the two sandy beaches at Thurlestone. There are a host of small attractive villages in South Hams offering interesting pubs, local farm produce shops and pretty rows of cottages, plus further afield the waterfront city of Plymouth is a vibrant centre housing the National Marine Aquarium, historic Barbican Quay and plenty of nightlife, including theatres, restaurants and bars.

Up to two well behaved dogs permitted.

Accomodation is located on a working farm and is part of the farmhouse.
