    “The apartment was lovely, in a great location and ideal for a couple and child up to the age of 12 maximum.”

    I made the mistake of booking the apartment for 3 adults which the Sykes website allowed me to do (I didn't read the complete listing which does include a note to say only suitable for 2 adults and 1 small child). Post booking this should have been picked up by the Sykes team. The 2nd single bedroom is tiny and has a small single bed in it and no floor space. Parking was very tricky due to the size of the spaces, only really suitable for small cars but I guess that's usual for a seaside town ...

About the location

SALCOMBE

Kingsbridge 7 miles; Dartmouth 21 miles; Plymouth 24 miles; Paignton 26 miles.

Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. You can also take the small ferry across the estuary to the beaches of East Portlemouth, and a walk to Gara Rock. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including sailing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking, including the South West Coast path.

Note - Single bed only suitable for 12 years or below.
