36 The Salcombe

I was very pleased with 36 The Salcombe.

It was absolutely ideal for me. Very clean, well equipped, very comfortable and the view is outstanding. (My only problem was trying to work out how to switch on the ‘microwave combi oven’ and the induction hob!) The location of the building could not be better… the centre of the town, extremely convenient for the town’s facilities, by the water and no uphill climb to reach it.

As previously we have had a great stay at No 36, lovely accommodation with everything you need for a holiday and the location is great.

Great place, great location can ask for any more

Idyllic setting with fabulous views of the harbour.

Always something to watch! Onsite parking was a real bonus. Sykes personnel helpful. We found that the apartment got very stuffy overnight, it was too windy to leave the patio doors open. Shame the automatic barrier to exit didn’t work , I got very wet having to get our and raise it by the fob.

As always we always love salcombe and you are always great we us The only thing was the door on the pull down bed was broken and was like that for the full 7 days and we had to a little cleaning when we arrived But other than that it was fantastic Thanks and we will be in touch for 2026

Very nice small studio apartment, wonderful location and facilities on site.

Parking is a big bonus. The only comment is that the pull down double bed is quite small, so not suitable for some adult couples. Otherwise really enjoyed the stay, thank you.

Very pleasant stay in no.

36. Well equipped and with a stunning view. Towels and linens provided. The wall bed is not the most comfortable but we booked in the full knowledge that this was fitted. Inclusive parking is a real bonus.

If you book this apartment be aware that although listed as 1 bedroom there is no separate bed space but just a pull down bed in the middle of the living space which is difficult to get around.

This is hidden in the body of the text as ‘wall bed’ (which I mistakenly thought was a bed against the wall) but no clear information that this is a pull-down or photos (as is the case in other apartments in the block). We had to leave it down as strapping bedding up and lifting it up was too much. The bed itself is rickety, thin foam mattresses and slats – very uncomfortable and resulted in back pain. I would not have booked this apartment knowing this. Other than the inaccurate listing the apartment was of good quality. It is a shame that with less furniture and smaller kitchen the room could have been designed with a permeant bed space.

36 The Salcombe is a beautiful property in the perfect position.

It has everything you need and more. The only downside is that the key safe doesn't work so you can't leave your key on departure causing us a long stressful wait at the property.

Stayed at The Salcombe before the room been done nicely but did find the pull down bed a bit uncomfy.

All in all good holiday and hard to beat the position with parking cheers

Great central location at 36 the Salcombe - access to everything in the village.

As others have said the apartment could do with a refresh now but the views from the balcony are amazing and the pool and gardens are fantastic to have in a location like this.

Great location couldn't fault anything will be booking again for next year

Everyone at Coast & Country were very helpful when we had a couple of problems.

The best things were the amazing view, and the swimming pool in a gorgeous garden, and the location generally.

Our June week in no.

36 was always going to be "Different" this year, as a result of all the additional restrictions impossed as a result of Covid. In practice, these restrictions weren't too much of a problem, but early on in our stay, there was a bit of a disaster with the topping up of pool chemicals, with the result that the pool had to be closed. This meant that I only managed two swims during my week. The flat is quite well equiped and as usual we had everything we needed, but it's starting to look a bit "tired" in places, and we were both glad to get home to sleep on a comfortable bed! Not the best week we've had in No. 36, but hopefully things will be better next year.

Great accommodation but for the price paid : 1.

The bedding linen was tired and not to standard - it seemed a bit grubby. it needs to be replaced. 2. The bathroom needed a really good clean and this hadn't been done for some time. 3. For so-called prestige accommodation, only, only providing one champagne glass was annoying. I didn’t expect to have to go out and buy another one. Great position and yes we would go again. If the improvements listed above were addressed, the rating for the accommodation would increase from average to very good. It’s up to you if you publish this or not.

Lovely little apartment and well equipped!

Lovely view from the balcony .. Staff in Coast and Country very kind and helpful. Thank you

Thankfully the weather was lovely so we didn’t have to spend much time in the room which is quite dated and could do with an update-a bit more of a beach/Scandi look might make it feel more modern.

... The curtains.... this is an apartment for adults not children!!!! Disappointing that the pool was unavailable but the view from the balcony was great and it was good to have a parking space which is a premium in Salcombe. Other guests need to be aware that the floor slopes as you step in and you would need to prop up the dining table if you plan to eat inside. The pull down bed is surprisingly comfortable and the apartment is well equipped for self catering. Would like to give Sykes a big thank you for resolving our plumbing issue so quickly! Would definitely return to The Salcombe but not to this particular apartment.

We enjoyed our stay very much but were very disappointed the pools were closed even though Government guidelines said they could open.

It was a shame as we booked expecting to use daily. The plumbing in the shower needs checking as with regular use gets blowback in tray.

A good location for a short break.

Convenient with easy access and a great view across the estuary.

Although the apartment is small it does offer what is probably the finest view in Salcombe.

It is well furnished to a good standard, however the "pull down" bed is a bit of a pain and although simple to operate it means you have to leave clothes lying around the living area when you retire to bed. It is almost too well equipped with cooking utensils - enough there to furnish a small hotel kitchen, and it does look as if someone has downsized from a large house and taken all the spare kitchen equipment and left it in the apartment which means a lot of the storage space is taken up with unwanted items. One big bonus is the car parking space, which in Salcombe, which particularly in summer must be an absolute plus.All in all though we had a great holiday and I would certainly mention the excellent service we had from the local office.Initially there was a problem with the Salcombe's WiFi that was quickly sorted and one day the car park barrier failed to open (due to some very high winds) but again the office wasted no time in getting it repaired. We would certainly use Sykes cottages in the future - and we did love Salcombe itself. Friendly locals, some great places to eat and drink and easy reach of Plymouth,Dartmouth and Totnes

The only negative points I would like to make are: One of the balcony doors wouldn't open as the top catch had stuck fast.

The bottom catch was completely missing which meant it was never really secure. We wouldn't have minded so much if this was pointed out prior to our occupation so at least no blame could be apportioned to us, which I must point out hasn't. We were disappointed that the balcony hadn't been jet washed to remove Seagull excrement prior to our occupation. We understand that Seagulls are a persistent problem in this respect but the mess we saw was clearly dried and present for a couple of days at least.

Had another good week in 36 The Salcombe despite the disappointing weather this year.

The building is looking so much better as a result of a lot of on-going improvements, and Emily the building manager is a welcome addition. Slightly disappointed to be told by your office that there will no longer be offers sent out to re-book for next year. It seems it's now down to me to remember to search for availability at the end of this season, so we'll wait and see how that works.

Good

cOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER A LITTLE OLD

This studio flat is best described as having "Character", largely due to the age of the building. Slightly sloping floors and being able to hear the people walking about upstairs, go with the package. The interior is modern & well equipped, and we never tire of the views from the balcony, which is probably why we keep coming back!

Compact studio- location & views and balcony unbeatable. Few too many nicnacs within apartment for my personal taste and slightly old fashioned- however kitchen area & bathroom were sound.

A lovely position and a great balcony but the room itself we felt needed updating.

Unbeatable view over the estuary from the balcony and the apartment is right at the centre of Salcombe. Tidy and well-equipped for its size, it is an ideal studio apartment for either the single traveller or a couple. A real bonus is on-site parking, a rarity in Salcombe.

excellent there is everything you need for a lovely holiday lovely veiws comfortable flat

Lovely flat, with everything you need.

Superb position but flat needs updating. Poor linen, dining chairs and balcony chairs.
