“Burleigh is a superb place to stay.”

The views from the top terrace of the harbour were fabulous. The garden was amazing and having three different areas to sit in was luxury. The super huge bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and nice glasses and crockery. The road is quiet and only a short walk to the town. We loved it so much we have booked to come again next year.

“The six of us enjoyed a very comfortable stay at Burleigh.”

The facilities were spotless and the house has everything you could need. The views from the deck are wonderful.

“You provide a good service but your prices have gone up too much to think about booking with Sykes cottages again.”

“This is a great holiday house.”

Location is superb, the patio / garden area is lovely. Lots of space. The central heating seemed a bit unpredictable and needs a check - think small radiator in main room has seized up and boiler is looking low on water pressure.

- Miss Reddington, October 2020

Many thanks for your feedback. We are so pleased you loved the property. We will pass on your comments with regards to the heating. We hope we can welcome you back to Salcombe soon. Owner relations

“Multi-layered piece of heaven”

Be ready to get some exercise, climbing the many steps to this beautiful home. Situated at the top of a steep hill, 5 minutes walk down into town and local co-op, this property occupies the top two floors of this three floored building. Upon arrival there are two designated parking spaces with steep steps to the left leading to the entrance. The flat below has access to the decking to the front of the building but do not be disappointed as the Burleigh property has a fantastic leisure space at the rear of the property. This area has three decking levels, with the top level providing table and chairs with views over Salcombe harbour and town. We enjoyed our breakfast and evening meals up there, well lit too. There is also a large family kitchen/diner and large lounge area with tv/netflicks and many more channels. Off the lounge is a large double bedroom with a queen size bed, up stairs there are two further double bedrooms, all the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. There is also an outside BBQ to give you meal options. Salcombe is a busy town, very touristy with narrow streets. Due to covid measures it is a good idea to book restaurants before arriving, there are a couple of pubs two which again are strict about track and trace. There are two beaches but these are quite a walk out of town and parking is not that accessible. Far easier to take the boat across the estuary £2.00 each way as the beaches are far nicer and quieter. The best restaurant call Gara Rock is on the other side too and has some great walks to get to it (takes about 45 - 60 minutes), again book in advance or stay at the hotel overnight. If you drive or taxi there it will take about the same time as walking due to distance and very small roads. We stayed 2 weeks and there is so much locally to see and do, waking routes are every where and although a car is essential as public transport was challenging. Visit Hope Cove, Slapton Sands and Burgh Island for days out and swimming. Kingsbridge is the nearest town which is 15 minutes away and has all supermarkets and petrol stations. Torquay is 45minutes away although we did not think much of it far nicer to visit Totnes or Dartmouth. The only criticism of the property was that it could have been cleaner, quite dusty with cobwebs but this did not take detract that this property is a great place to stay, to relax and enjoy the South Hams!!

“Hi, We had a fabulous time and loved Burleigh, my only gripe was the dishwasher was full and needed emptying.”

I’m not adverse to emptying the dishwasher but when you arrive after a 6 hour drive in a unknown kitchen it’s not the best welcome. I also feel the whole cleanliness wasn’t the best it could be, lots of dust behind sofas, under the kitchen table and corners of bathrooms. I don’t think it had been mopped. Apart from that the cottage was amazing and it wouldn’t stop of us from re booking.

“The property was immaculately clean and lovely and warm and comfortable.”

Very spacious and well laid out. Six adults and two large dogs had plenty of space . We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to booking again. Thank you.

Mrs Rogers September 2019

“Great holiday let with the added benefit of ensuites in every room and 1 allocated parking spot within walking distance of salcombe but very hilly so if you want to want to leave the car at home you need to be fit to walk up the very steep hill every day.”

Great beaches if you get the little ferry across super soft sand and if you get the weather it's like being in the med. Salcombe is lovely but a little on the expensive side but it is a yatching resort not a traditional surfing town. Great location for exploring south devon every where was dog friendly but for us lacked places to walk the dogs off the lead nearby (although we did discover the footpaths later in the week) and north sands was a long walk (not sure we ever discovered the quickest way to get there and again very hill if you wanted to walk it) having said that it grew on us and would recommend the property and salcombe. Have booked again with Sykes back to noth Cornwall next year so easy on the app and the little discount for booking early was a bonus.
