“The property was advertised as a one bedroom flat, but it was really a studio with a sofa bed in the lounge.”

The Sykes complaints rep considered that I mis-interpreted the description and admitted no responsibility for the mis-advertising which was most un Sykes like with customer service. However we had a pleasant stay but the advert could be further improved by explaining there was a separate small bunk bed room, which was omitted from the advert, where we could hang our clothes and store our suitcases. Hirers beware!!

We are sorry if the description was not clear that the apartment was a studio instead of a separate 1 bed apartment. We are pleased to be able to say that the owners have carried out extensive works over the winter and have in fact now removed the bunk room and created a separate room which contains the bed. We hope you still enjoyed your stay and hope you visit the area again soon. Coast & Country Cottages, on behalf of Property Owner

“This was one of the best holidays we have ever had.”

The apartment was really beautiful.The location unrivalled,the view out of the window stunning.With the added bonus of a parking space.Also a space for your boat on the landing.It was that good we only left the area to go for an Indian on the Monday night.The staff at Coast and Country were brilliant key pick up and drop off.

Our Salcombe office would like to thank you for your praises to our team. We work hard to ensure that we meet all of our guests’ expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

“This flat is super - as always.”

The owner keeps it in top condition and continues to maintain and improve it. Luxury feel - with the best views in Salcombe. A privilege to stay there - thank you! However, the Coast And Country experience has deteriorated over the last few years. They might say its Covid related but I also imagine the fact that they have been taken over by Sykes is a significant contributor. For example now, no one to hand back keys to - just an bowl. It was a great touch point before. Phoning in can take ages too. I gave up and just email now. The website that keeps tell me that someone else is looking at the same property I might be browsing is just annoying - do they really think we're going to be hustled like that...I suppose they do. The familiar, family run, friendly service is a thing of the past.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were delighted to read that you had a lovely stay. We have passed on all your lovely comments to the owner who will be really pleased to know that the apartment was beautifully presented upon your arrival. We were terribly sorry that you felt as a company we have lost our personal touch. Unfortunately, as to minimise any potential infection a number of safety measures were put in place during the pandemic; one of which included the arrival procedure. Keys were popped into the box as to reduce any cross contamination. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. We are pleased to say that this has now been taken away and our office is back open and we look forward to welcoming you back through our door. Coast and Country Cottages on behalf of, Property Owner

“The only negative was that the bedding looked old and worn and wasn't great quality, however the décor was fresh and clean with all amentias, in the description it did not confirm they had an iron or a hairdryer so we took our own and they were there.”

Thank you

The location is amazing.

“Superb view & excellent location.”

Apartment small but had everything you needed.

“The balconies on these apartments should have privacy screens between each apartment plus the apartments to either side of us were occupied by smokers which meant that we needed to keep our doors shut and remain inside most of the time so we would not return here for this reason.”

- Ian Edward, October 2020

“The property was central and had a stunning view of the harbour from the lovely generous balcony.”

- Alan, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. 35 The Salcombe really does have a stunning view. We hope we can welcome you back to the area soon. Property Owner
Helen September 2020

“Very disappointed.”

I don’t believe the description of the apartment accurately described the bedding situation. It is described as a one bed apartment stating that the living area has a double pull out bed. A very small double pull out bed that two adults could not sleep comfortably in! I would have assumed the bedroom would contain a full size double bed instead of the child size bunk beds that were present. When I requested sheets for the bunks I was told that they were not fit for adults and couldn’t be supplied that the booking was for two adults and that was what the pull out bed could accommodate - this assume a couple. I explained that even though we are a couple we could not both fit in the double sofa and would require sheets for the bottom bunk which were then supplied. The situation was totally unsatisfactory and took the shine off our few days away.

“Listing did not mention separate bunk bed room, which was a bonus.”

Holiday details did not explain where bedding was stored, which took us a long time to find.....call to Sykes failed to solve the problem. Sink is unusually low, a problem for people with bad backs! Flat is recently done up to very high standard.

- Andrew, September 2020
Robert June 2019

“Excellent, with Marvelous view.”

One major drawback....There should be a key box at the location. It is a pain to have to weave through Salcombe narrow one way streets when anxious to get off on a long journey home.

Mrs Fiona Page Jul 2018

“The apartment was lovely and very clean but the double bed is a sofa bed (a very comfortable one) which was quite heavy to pull out and then a couple of bunk beds in the bedroom - ideal for family with children.”

It is a very compact apartment but for two adults there was plenty of room and had the wonderful bonus of a parking space at the property and a very nice heated swimming pool.

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.
