2 Hamstone Court

Second visit.

Fantastic view. Great location. Main gate was not working during our visit which affected security. Many cars parked overnight not in designated spaces.

An amazing apartment with a wonderful view.

A joy to stay in 2 Hamstone Court. Superbly spacious, with comfortable furnishings. Loved sitting on the balcony in the sunshine with the sea sparkling in the sunshine.

This was our second visit to the apartment.

The location is perfect, beautiful views and easy access to the town, restaurants and beaches. The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to work in and the beds are comfortable with the exception of the pillows which need replacing. Cleanliness is excellent, the apartment was spotless when we arrived and very welcoming. However, we are very disappointed with the maintenance of the apartment which knocks it down from the luxury bracket and doesn't represent the high cost of renting. On our last visit, we brought it to the attention of Sykes the difficulty in operating the on / off shower controlling the master bedroom. Although someone did come out at the time, it appears after twelve months the control has remained very difficult to turn off. Returning after twelve months, we found a number of maintenance issues that we would have expected to be corrected during the course of the year. They are as follows: 1. The heated towel rails were off and no instructions on how to operate. 2. The bedside cabinet door in the master bedroom is falling off its hinges on opening. 3. Door handle on the shower room in the master bedroom is falling off. 4. A number of light bulbs need replacing as they are not working. 5. The main window in the lounge cannot be closed due to the distortion of the frame. 6. The curtains in the master bedroom need new curtain hooks as many are missing which meant that the curtain was difficult to draw and the blind was mouldy. 7. The sink tap in the main bedroom shower room is completely loose in the sink consequently it swivels when being used. While on this holiday, we had an email from Sykes asking for any issues which we subsequently forwarded via email at the time. We did not get a response. We have stayed in a number of Sykes cottages which we have really enjoyed and felt value for money, however the maintenance of this apartment does not represent the standard we have always had and expect from the company, which is disappointing.

Such a beautiful apartment in a wonderful location.

The place is such a lovely appointed apartment although in need of a few better checks by the weekly cleaning team; slightly mouldy net curtains, lights not working, shower temperature gauge not working, etc. but overall a great place. We will definitely be back again.

Although we thoroughly enjoyed our stay we feel that an apartment of this standard should have a smart tv.

A safety mat and handrail in all bathrooms/showerrooms as they are quite slippery. More than 2 reclining chairs should be provided on the balcony for an apartment that can accommodate 8 people.

Third time of staying here, and such a lovely position in the town.

The only thing we were missing, which would have been useful, was a pair of scissors in the kitchen. The sofas are getting very 'tired', in particular the one with its back to the patio doors. Other than this everything was good.

Lovely flat with everything we needed.

Thank you !

Fourth year at 2 Hamstone Court, always the same week (for the music festival at the weekend).

Just first class ! Beautiful, well appointed apartment with some of the best views in the UK !

Fantastic apartment, well equipped and clean, There was only 4 of us, any more would struggle to sit on the sofas, But was a brilliant holiday and would definitely return,

This is a wonderful holiday apartment.

The views, as everyone says, are the best in Salcombe, the apartment is spacious, light, clean and well equipped, and it feels cosy and comfortable rather than just a holiday property. The walk into town is easy (and downhill) and although the parking is tight (the garage is quite narrow) we fitted one small car into the garage and a Range Rover in the car port. The utility room is huge with practical things like drying racks and a heated towel rail and there is plenty of useful storage all through the apartment. The beds and furniture are all top quality. It seems unusual not to have any cleaning products supplied to help keep the property clean, the kitchen tap drips, there are no scissors in the kitchen and the shower tray in the shower room is inclined to overflow, but these are small niggles compared to the overall high standard of the apartment. We had a couple of issues which were our fault while we were there but C&C dealt with those very quickly and professionally. This really is a beautiful and lovely place to stay - we will certainly be booking again and hope to be as lucky with the weather as we were on this trip.

A fabulous apartment with a wonderful view.

We arrived to find a spotlessly clean apartment ready for us. The rooms were home from home and extremely comfortable. The kitchen is easy to work in and extremely well equipped. It is an easy walk into the town where we supported the local food shops…a brilliant bakery and butchers. We have booked again for next year and can’t wait!!

Returned several times to this lovely property and will hopefully be visiting again next year.

Wonderful stay as always at this property.

Pleased to find the apartment clean and fresh.

Beautifully redecorated, stunning location, excellent accommodation.

First class. Everything about this place was immaculate.

We love staying at this property and return every year.

We would point out now however that the en suite shower room is in need of upgrade and the mattress protector in this room is stained. There is a carpet stain in the lounge which I’m sure could be scrubbed out with some effort. Also the windows are in desperate need of a clean, we had to try ourselves so we could enjoy the view! Other than these minor issues the feedback would have been perfect.

First class !

Location, facilities, apartment - just excellent.

Excellent location, very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds.

Extractor fan in ensuite bathroom to main bedroom not up to the job, mould forming on ceiling above toilet.

Loved this property, amazing view, great sized rooms, lots of wardrobe space and well stocked kitchen.

Balcony is a great asset, very big. My children appreciated the dvds and chess board in the property. Will definitely look to book this property again. Shower head in one of the bathrooms could have been cleaner and housekeeping could be more thorough re drawers and under beds but they are my only 2 niggles. The steepness of the drive may be a concern for those with limited mobility.

If you deserve a treat then book this apartment.

Great location, best view in town and excellently furnished and equipped.

Lovely comfortable well appointed apartment with wonderful views, nearby all the restaurant and shops in Salcombe.

We felt at home as soon as we arrived and had a lovely stay; will certainly stay here again.

This was our second stay in this apartment, as it suits the 3 generations of our family.

It is very well catered with equipment in the kitchen, so no problems with catering . It is in a lovely position for the town and walks towards North Sands and South Sands, with beautiful views.

This is the second time we have stayed here.

It is cosy, family friendly and very comfortable. Look forward to coming back soon.

Amazing apartment with fantastic views from the balcony.

The apartment is very well equipped and furnished to a high standard.

This was our second year at 2 Hamstone Court - we love the property.

Last year there were one or two issues with the drains (not clearing at the speed the showers were filling) and some concerns over cleanliness. All have been rectified, on arrival the whole apartment was spotless with a fresh clean smell (congratulations to the cleaners). Another splendid week - we’ll be back.

Excellent property in a prime location and the furnishings appear to have been recently renewed.

We have had an excellent stay at your apartment.

Our only critical feedback is around the lack of recycling bags and the extractor fan is not working.

Have returned to this high class property which we love for last 6 yrs, always found in excellent condition until this time.

Immediately visited local Salcombe office to complain [first time ever!!] Told the local office and showed photos -Main Window would not close- Bathroom light continual fiickering - Broken curtain rail clips main bedroom could not close completely - Stains on lounge carpet, no sign of cleaning attempt. - Wall picturers 3 had been removed, ok, but supports in bedroom wall remain

Another fantastic stay at 2 Hamstone Court in Salcombe.

From start to finish the whole process was smooth and easy with Skyes. This apartment has the most stunning views and is in a perfect position to explore Salcombe and the surrounding areas. This was our second stay with our two daughters (aged 15 & 8) and we will be booking a third!

We know this complex very well, having stayed in various apartments within it.

Please think VERY CAREFULLY before taking 2 cars to this apartment. We discovered on arrival that we could not park our second vehicle in the garage because of a structure within. We checked with the agent for Sykes who just happened to be there and confirmed that they had never had any problems with parking to the side, it was not obstructing anyone. We soon discovered that the neighbours who apparently reside in apartment 5 had 4 or 5 vehicles and felt that they were the only people allowed to use the other spaces. They made it quite clear by leaving notes and shouting up to us that they believed they alone had the right to park, they had all the other owners telephone numbers and permission to park, we on the other hand could not as we were not owners. In a nutshell they made it very obvious that they were against letting and they would make our stay uncomfortable, they played loud music whilst sitting in their cars, banged doors late at night, gave us finger gestures (nice!) and always stared up at the apartment when outside to name a few of their intimidating actions. The apartment itself is in a wonderful location, the furniture is ok but getting ready for updating, particularly the sofas. We had a couple of minor issues, the mirror in the wardrobe came unstook and was in danger of falling out, the en-suite bathroom has issues with the toilet and sink tap, the kitchen had cleanliness issues, extractor and coffee machine to name two.We reported all the above to the office and they were extremely helpful, they arranged to get the mirror fixed immediately and said the would note the other issues and they even gave us a permit for the car park.

Superb property, superb location, couldn't fault it.

Wonderful apartment, we were very lucky in that the weather was superb all week but having said that, the quality of the apartment, facilities and outside space far exceeded our expectations.

I don’t want to make more of the slight flaws than necessary, but if they don’t get mentioned you might not know about them. There are two key safes - the first (which looks like every key safe I’ve used) is broken. The second (which contained the keys) was difficult to operate (probably because it was unfamiliar) but I got there in the end. The balcony furniture needs some attention as there are broken wires on the edges of some of the chairs. The drains need some attention as the showers flooded if we operated them on full power. There is a note on the wall in the kitchen showing the access code for the bin store - I think it needs a C in front of the numbers. Also the apartment guide manual shows the wrong Wi-fi code and wrong bin store number (the latter did give me the clue about the C prefix though). Overall our stay was amazing, in a wonderful apartment with outstanding views - we’ll be back next year !

Fantastic views, great location En suite getting ready for re vamp.

We had a fabulous time.

The apartment was clean, spacious and the facilities surpassed our expectations. Parking in a garage and outside secure parking was unusual in Salcombe. We had a motorcycle so parking was important. The views were amazing and we will recommend to all our friends and will be back.

I have sent 2 emails about issues in the apartment neither were acknowledged or dealt with - rubbish customer service

It was a lovely flat which I chose because of the location and the photos on the website.

It had great views, was very comfortable and well equipped, including jigsaws and games. So it definitely lived up to expectations. The main problem was with rubbish disposal where it was impossible to comply with the detailed instructions. We were instructed to use several different coloured disposal bags, but only black ones were provided. To be fair I stayed in another Salcombe property last year and it was the same there. Also the garage is quite narrow.

Please read this in the context that despite the comments below, we had a fabulous holiday and would stay here again.

We hope the feedback below is helpful. 1) The information regarding recycling needs updating. 2)The information regarding the pedestrian gate needs updating. 3) It would have been helpful to use the heated towel rails- we couldn’t work out how! 4) The en-suite is superbly finished but will need maintenance if the mould developing is not removed. 5) Some curtains need rehanging.

The views and location of this property was amazing.

Everything was spotlessly clean, with everything you could think of for an amazing holiday.

The key pad entrance to the apartment at the entrance on ground floor does not seem to work?

On examination we could not even find a door bell in the apartment. Our friends who live in Salcombe struggled to get in on the first couple of occasions. Not a complaint, just info. You had to send some one out to unblock my sink (the first shower room), the pop up plug also does not work, your man said he would get parts. By the time we left, the couple with the en-suite felt their sink was not draining properly. Again FYI.

Amazing location and views.

Easy walk into Salcombe and amenities. Very comfortable furnishings and found everything that we would need. Bathroom to main bedroom small, but with good sized shower. Very quiet (possibly only people in the block) in late September. Great to have parking space + garage, very secure and private. Would rebook another time.

I think the 5 stars given to this property is incorrect.

The mattresses are incredibly hard meaning half of the guests barely slept and have left the holiday with bad backs. One even commented that if they would have known how bad they would feel after not sleeping they would not come on holiday. We did look at local hotels but Salcombe was fully booked for bank holiday week. The housekeeping is also poor, the bed frames has visible dirt on them, mattress protectors were filthy and cobwebs were present. A brilliantly located property, with fantastic views but we would not recommend.

Exceptionally high standard of furnishings and equipment for a holiday rental .

Would have been useful to know there was a cot and a high chair as we hired them in advance .

Superbly appointed apartment with great views of the estuary and within easy walking distance of Salcombe centre and also North Sands.

Having a parking space and also use of a garage for another car and storing our beach and boat equipment was a real bonus. This was our second visit so we knew the apartment was going to be very good but even so it did exceed our expectations once again.

Sadly the excellent appartment was let down by poor attention to details such as ventilation in shower room and of more concern could not be locked.

Several light bulbs needed replacing. The plumbing issue was resolved quickly.

Wonderful week at 2 Hamstone Court, beautiful apartment with amazing views.

Great location too for Salcombe high street and North Sands beach.

Lovely well equipped accommodation, in good position with excellent views.

2 Hamstone Court was the perfect property for my family holiday - With fantastic views, comfortable bedrooms and living area, it was all we could have hoped for. The consideration made by the owner with regards to providing high quality kitchen equipment as well as having books/games were very much appreciated.

Have already explained Above

Lovely property with amazing views. Quality fittings and soft furnishings. Everything there that you could possibly need - apart from an umbrella for eating breakfast on the balcony on a hot day! Master family room beautifully furnished, but a little dark.

The flat had stunning views and was extremely well equipped. The only downside for me was that the beds were very firm (although it didn't bother the rest of my family). If it wasn't for this we would definitely have booked for next year.

The accommodation was perfect. Extremely well equipped with views to die for!

the main (back) bedroom had the smallest bathroom I have experienced in 40 years of holiday rental.all 3 bathrooms had failings...either little or no shelf space for toiletries, a shower door seal missing resulting in flooded floor. Beds hard. Parking difficult. Key safe tricky to operate

Exceeded expectations.

A new well fitted,comfortable apartment with fantastic views
