    “The property has a great location, lovely gardens, plenty of parking and is well proportioned throughout.”

    The kitchen is well equipped. Linens, bathrooms and kitchen worktop areas were clean. Unfortunately we broke one mug - apologies for this. However the house is ā€œtiredā€. Particularly poor is the internal woodwork which needs completely sanding back and repainting by a professional decorator - skirtings, windows, doors, frames and bannisters.

    The kitchen is well equipped. Linens, bathrooms and kitchen worktop areas were clean. Unfortunately we broke one mug - apologies for this. However the house is ā€œtiredā€. Particularly poor is the internal woodwork which needs completely sanding back and repainting by a professional decorator - skirtings, windows, doors, frames and bannisters. The front door is also in a poor state. It also needs deep cleaning. I’m an Airbnb host and am well aware that cleaning teams flash in and out and don’t have time for deep cleaning tasks. The kitchen/utility units and light switches are grubby. Skirtings are grubby. The kitchen floor had not been washed on arrival and was marked and sticky. One attic bedroom had pubic hairs in the bedding and several on the floor by the bed legs. This same room had little bugs in the bed. They were harmless but not nice to see. I sent photos of some of the deep cleaning issues to Skyes but received no reply. Maintenance wise my bedroom door wouldn’t shut at all (too much old thick paint I suspect) and the walls had been partially repainted but not entirely. There was a clear smell of urine when I was sat in bed but I couldn’t locate the source. It seemed to be from the bed area but the mattress looked clean to the eye. It did wear off as the week went on but was really unpleasant and disturbed my sleep. On one evening we returned home to a powerful smell of drains throughout the kitchen living area. It happened only once so we put it down to old sewerage pipes. It’s a lovely property and it’s just a shame it’s in need of investment to bring it up to standard.

    - Rachel, May 2026

    We are so sorry to hear that your experience was not as good as it could have been and will certainly investigate your complaints. It is a Victorian property and, as such, does need regular maintenance which we undertake every year (including during April and May this year) The windows were cleaned, inside and out, during April but they are old windows and exposed to the weather. We have a painter in this week, refreshing interiors. I am sorry that there were issues with the cleanliness and have alerted our cleaning company. The property was deep- cleaned in late April - and, at that point, was in good condition. We visited after this period to check the standard. We will investigate the bedding issue; all beds are stripped and changed between each visit, so I am concerned by your comments. Thank you for drawing attention to these issues; we will certainly seek to address them. Victoria Lodge Owners. Property Owner

Retire upstairs to the first floor and be greeted by a sophisticated Jack-and-Jill bathroom leading through to a king-size bedroom, or draw yourself a bath with the luxurious corner tub that rests within the second bathroom.

About the location

KINGSBRIDGE

Salcombe 5 miles; Bantham 5 miles; Dartmouth 12 miles; Totnes 13 miles; Plymouth 20 miles.

The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of South Devon. Kingsbridge is home to a range of lovely independent shops and coffee shops, as well as a 3-screen cinema and an award-winning pub. During the summer season there are estuary excursions by ferry to Salcombe which lies on the banks of the Kingsbridge Estuary, making it one of the prettiest towns in South Devon. Salcombe is famous for its outstanding coastal views, rolling countryside, and is a watersports paradise for kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding and powerboating. It is packed with boutique shops, high street brands and independent producers, restaurants serving freshly caught seafood, and Salcombe Gin and Ice cream! Kingsbridge is perfectly located as a base to enjoy 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 in Totnes, 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 night life, including theatres, restaurants and bars. Kingsbridge can be easily reached by train to Totnes and then a local bus service which will take you to Kingsbridge town centre.
