Little Starboard

Lovely property in a quiet area with good access to the town and restaurants.

The instructions we received for parking and accessing the property were very good and clear. It is a bright, airy, well equipped property with a nice outdoor space and seating area.

The kitchen utensils are very good ,almost ott, but the addition of a small plastic basin to fit into the existing large sink would be very useful and save a lot of water, also some j/ cloths or dish cloths. Clearer info., rubbish disposal & recycling.( we transported our recyc. back to Surrey. We were very happy with our stay, W. Row.

A modest welcome pack would have been nice.

..milk especially and kitchen roll. We were left one toilet roll part used..Spares would have been helpful...otherwise the cottage is clean and very comfortable....

Shaving was difficult with small sink and no mirror above, in bathroom.

Would have liked a TV in the bedroom. Overall a very nice bungalow, clean and comfortable with good kitchen and equipment. Would definitely recommend.

Great property, nice and clean, good size for a family of 4.

Well located for Kingsbridge centre.

Little Starboard is comfortable and very well equipped.

It's in a good location, and only a ten minute walk to the centre of Kingsbridge. We enjoyed our stay. It would have been 5 Stars had it not been for the internet. There seems to be some restriction on it, making social media access difficult. Pictures won't download etc, etc.

We arrived just before 3pm, at the same time as the cleaner so not the best start to our holiday.

No communication re this. Cleaner was very quick but not very thorough. She also arrived before 10am on the day of departure which wasn’t very helpful either. The property isn’t in the nicest park of Kingsbridge. The car parking space wasn’t allocated and therefore wasn’t always available leaving us having to try and park on a not particularly nice street at times. Various items of crockery, cutlery, oven mits etc were soiled/sticky, with remnants of food etc on them. The shower tray didn’t drain on arrival so we were left from Friday to Monday without being able to use the only shower in the property. The TV screen was marked/scratched but subsequently cleaned by maintenance so presumably just dirty. Sykes were very helpful and reassuring re all of the above. The person that called from Coast and Country was rather defensive and dismissive. No additional toilet rolls, bin bags, cleaning products were left in the property. There are also no tea towels or hand towels for the kitchen. With the unfortunate bits out of the way the property is very nicely decorated with very comfortable beds and sofa. There’s plenty of crockery, cutlery etc to use during your stay. There’s also plenty of cupboard, fridge/freezer space. No wardrobes but good sized hanging rails and lots of drawers. It’s so light inside and there’s a lovely courtyard garden with a nice view from one corner. Bed linen was nice and plenty of bathroom towels were left. Kingsbridge and the South Hams are lovely. Kingsbridge has some good delis, a cinema, ice cream shops and various independent shops to mooch around. There’s lots of great beaches; South Milton, Bigbury, Mothercombe. Lots of lovely places to eat nearby. The Oyster Shack is a must, you’ll need to book in advance though. The ferry to Salcombe is lovely and the staff had great local knowledge for lovely things to do during our stay. We had lovely weather to really enjoy the area. We’ve booked several cottages through Sykes before and all has been well, I don’t think we’ve booked directly with Coast and Country before. Would we stay again, I’m not sure, I’d like to think this was a one off bad experience it’s a little disappointing that no one has checked in with us to check everything was resolved. We’d definitely stay in Kingsbridge again as it’s a really nice part of the country.

great little bungalow, a little stark in the living room with bare bulbs, white walls and blinds.

also needed a thorough clean, thick dust on the TV and Standard lamp and mouldy instant coffee in one of the caddy jars. Brilliant location and very quiet.

The proposal was perfect, well located close to the town and very clean and tidy.

We have no adverse comments at all.

My daughter and I have stayed in many holidays cottages between us, and this is by far the best we have ever had.

Everything was so clean, and it was fully-equipped with everything anyone could need. We needed to turn on the heating on day 2 but it was registering “call for engineer”. We rang your office and by the time we returned after an afternoon out it had been fixed. Your whole service was second to none - thank you for making our short break so effortless

We really enjoyed staying at Little Starboard.

Great location to walk into town. Great location to use as a base to explore the gorgeous area. Our only problem was we couldn’t find the switch for the bathroom heated towel rail to turn it on. Everything in the house was to a high standard and we would love to return. Thank you.

After a long journey we were delighted when we arrived at Little Starboard!

The accomodation was perfect! There are some stairs down to the property ,so some may find these difficult. A short walk downhill to the town and the river estuary. Several beautiful beaches nearby for days out and ideal for those who enjoy walking.

We had a great time in this superbly refurbished bungalow.

Great location, and the property lacks nothing in terms of facilities

Location was great within walk distance to shops in the town.

Great location for visiting Salcombe and Dartmouth and totnes

Fantastic property, very well equipped and in a great location.

The refurbishment has been done to a very high standard. We found the property very comfortable and the garden is a great sun trap! Helpful directions and key information plus the checkout email was also very handy the day before. The only thing the property could benefit from is curtains in the bedrooms! Thank you for a fantastic stay we will be back next year :)

Little Starboard was perfect for our family holiday, the house has been beautifully renovated, had everything you could need for a week's stay, the kitchen facilities were excellent and we felt very comfortable there.

It was also spotlessly clean which is particularly reassuring at the moment. The location is also great, just a 5 minute walk to the estuary and into town to the shops, restaurants etc. There is also a playground just 2 minutes away if you have little ones. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this place to others.

A little disappointed with the approach to the Bungalow having to negotiate 2 flights of steps and having to park car away from the property making transport of luggage difficult The one double bed requires a topper of some sort because not at all comfortable The cleanliness and facilities were very good

Little Starboard is in an ideal position for local shops, restaurants and pubs.

It is a short drive to some beautiful beaches. The house has been tastefully refurbished and very well equipped. I should be keeping quiet about this little jem as we will surely think about booking again in the future. It made for a really enjoyable holiday in these very strange times.

Had a wonderful week very good facilities good parking all in all excellent time.

If had to make a comment for help for future residents some outdoor receptical or instruction for rubbish would be helpful. Look forward to the next trip with you. Pam Peregrine
