8 Church Street

Great property in great location in wonderful Salcombe !

Fantastic!

Such a home from home, can’t fault it! Would be nice if the bar stools were more squishy for long periods sat looking out at the fabulous views, two more stools too would be amazing. Will definitely be booking again Thank you so much for sharing your property with us. Xx

Lovely property, clean and well equipped.

Fab location.

Great stay at 8 Church Street, location was great as only a short walk into town, the car park pass was also most useful.

We enjoyed the upside down living, the upstairs lounge was lovely and warm in the evenings. Great value.

The cottage was perfect for our stay, location was beautiful and ideal!

Cleanliness and comfort was brilliant! Amenities were great in the cottage too. Only down side- I found the kitchen a bit dark, would love to visit again x

We had a lovely comfortable stay, the house was warm and spotless, we had the best time.

Thank you

Very good facilities and well equipped kitchen , thoughtful touches .

Great location and fabulous view. Disappointed that the listed garden was in fact a yard so I had to find somewhere for my dog to toilet . Thank you for the car park pass but it would also have been helpful to know this was off site at the time of booking ( on Expedia it didn’t state this, only when I got Sykes confirmation) Enjoyed our stay thank you.

Sadly quite disappointed with our stay.

Though in a great location we found there is some false advertising for this property and lack of details. I brought my nearly 80 year old mum with mobility issues. Firstly you advertise parking is available at property, this is not true. You don’t detail that it is residents parking only and have to park in the car park at the bottom of the town with one issued parking permit. Secondly you advertise the property has a private beach. It does not! You don’t detail the property is on three levels. This made our socialising and relaxation with mum very difficult with the lounge being in the loft conversion. The mattress on the ground floor bedroom needs replacing as the springs can be felt when laying down. The heating was set ridiculously high at 24oc and we couldn’t work out how to lower this so the double bedroom was like sleeping in a greenhouse. Why don’t you fit adjustable thermostats to radiators. Definitely some improvements required here, though will say the cleanliness was very good.

All good, lots of space in quiet neighbourhood central

We didn’t stay in the property our adult children did - but they said that the property was very dated and a little tired and the downstairs loo was in the garden.

I went to have a look and had to agree. Whilst very clean it did remind me of a student house, but the kids were happy enough as did not spend too much time there

A pleasant property, very conveniently situated.

Having living room at the top of the house not always the most convenient, and the ground floor bedroom only has an outside loo, or a climb to the bathroom.

House was dirty (i have already had discussions with the office in Salcombe and a small goodwill payment was forthcoming which I accepted).

Also outside space was un-usable - covered in green moss throughout and with really dirty outside furniture.

Clean, comfortable, well located cottage.

Outside space was nothing like picture. Could do with a major clean and tidy up.

Kitchen cupboards could smell a bit damp.

Parking was difficult in the car park, maybe just a busy week. Nice accommodation, nice location, well organised.

Particularly impressed with the local support - window blind not working properly, courtyard furniture not clean and unable to get the central heating working !

Reported issues in person to the local office and by the time we walked back to the property (about 5mins) 3 support staff arrived to rectify the problems !! Impressive !

The cottage is in a fabulous location we could walk everywhere.

It was great that it accepts dogs. It has plenty of room albeit with the lounge being up steep steps which would not be ideal for some. However...it is tired and needs a refresh. More than that I could feel the springs in the bed digging into me so didn’t get a great night’s sleep. The shower room door was broken and there was black mould in corners. There was a permanently damp smell in the kitchen ( and this was on a sunny week). There are so few properties that are affordable in your portfolio so I wouldn’t want wholesale change as it would price it out of many peoples’ ability to pay. And that was another thing. The attitude of your staff to someone staying in one of your lower priced properties (but still over £100 a night out of season!!) is not great. They were insistent that there wouldn’t be a parking permit with THAT property. And I had to be equally insistent that there was when I wasn’t initially given it. And when we complained that we couldn’t find a seagull bag for our rubbish were told by local staff it was there. It wasn’t. Everything was a bit too much trouble though I get the impression if we had been spending more they might have cared more. We are still customers. The guy I spoke to in Chester however was lovely, friendly and helpful! It is a shame. We love Salcombe and have been coming for 30 years. But don’t Know whether we will return with coast and country. We shall see. I would like a reply to this please. As for publishing. Ha. We’ll see whether you do!

Cottage could do with updating/modernizing Shower Was really difficult to use and not powerful at all

The property was clean, the 'attic' sitting room was really comfortable and cosy with lovely views.

The location is good just a few steps from the town and the car park. However, the shower was a disappointment with extremely poor water flow (a booster pump could easily solve this) and somewhere to put bathing toiletries other than the floor (it cannot be assumed everyone uses products in plastic bottles) would be useful. Obviously the horrible weather played a part, but we found the kitchen rather dismal and cancelled an arrangement with some friends to come to dinner. The pans are poor quality and we couldn't use the kitchen knives as the paint was peeling off them. The weather also deterred us from a trip across the yard to use the 'utility room'.

Fantastic town

We had previously stayed in this property 20 years ago.

Although there had been some changes new beds and lounge furniture it was basically the same. However we only changed properties 20 years ago as we needed something bigger. This property is well situated and had everything we needed. There was plenty of hot water and its location is excellent. We would be happy to stay here again.

All in all very good location and standard of accommodation.

If there was any improvement at all perhaps a little updating of the property as it is quite dated, but this definitely didn't stop us enjoying the stay.

8 Church Street is a lovely place to stay - very homely, very clean, plenty of space, very well equipped and in a fabulous location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week and will be back! Our only suggestion would be to possibly make more of the small yard, yes it's in shade but we felt it could possibly be improved so it could be more usable - maybe a small area of fake grass or shingle or decking (plastic so not slippy) with the table and chairs on and paint or cover the walls to make it feel more loved as the house obviously is.

Easy to book and staff are friendly.

The cottage we stayed in was amazing and very clean and tidy. We are actually going to book again for later this year same place

Lovely location, lovely cottage, has everything you need. Only drawback is kitchen on ground floor and lounge on the top floor - don't forget to take everything up with you. Views are great though. Has everything you need and central for the wander into town.

Excellent location. House very clean and well equipped. Utility area with hanging space and outside tap very useful for wetsuits and clothes drying. Airing cupboard a bonus too. Only (slight) negatives: carpet a little tired; stairs up to the attic sitting room are very steep - fine for us but could be a struggle for the very young or old.

A good compromise for cost, facilities and position. We had no transport so position pretty good for the bus nd situation meant not too many hills to go up and down for shops, harbor etc. Very pretty top sitting room with views. Bedrooms reasonable. Would have benefitted perhaps from having a comfortable chair in the kitchen when cooking as sitting room too far when preparing meals. Pleasantly surprised at end of first week when bed-changers appeared - haven't experienced this in self-catering before. Management of replacement dishwasher also done with minimum disruption to us. Bathroom and shower room also made good use of space and the airing cupboard in the bathroom a bonus. Utility room also useful and kept noise of washing machine to a minimum. Back yard a bit dark, making kitchen dark. perhaps insert some light reflecting feature to brighten things up such as paint walls white or add old CDs to catch light.

Great little house, very close the Centre of Salcombe and Boat Park.

Great view from the attic lounge though a long way down the stairs to the kitchen

Excellent

The property was pretty well situated for all our needs and size wise was good. What was of concern was the fact that the property appears to be suffering from severe damp problems in the downstairs bedroom, leaving it smelling damp and unpleasant at times. The smell also seems to permeate upstairs into the double bedroom. The outside light switch gave one of our children a small shock so clearly needs to be tested and the drain in the shower room shower was blocked. We sorted this out ourselves by purchasing some crystals and clearing the drain. What would also be a real bonus would be to have a tumble dryer. The weather was a little poor at times and it was therefore difficult to dry anything.

Good location, well equipped and very clean.
