“We found the accommodation ideally placed for all the restaurants, pubs & shops, with a bakery directly behind the accommodation in a busy side street, this could be a little noisy from 5am but didn’t spoil our stay.”
Our biggest gripe was the lack of parking, we noted the permit mentioned, but thought it would be near the accommodation, instead we found it was for a public car park some distance away with NO guarantee of a space! This made getting our weeks bags of clothes etc very difficult, having to make a couple of journeys each time, this will
NOT suit anyone with walking or similar health issues or possibly small children, and infact once you’ve given up your space for a day out perhaps, you will be very lucky, certainly in high season, to get another on your return unless it’s later in the evening! Yes the permit let’s you park in other areas of the coast, but not in Salcombe, we made a mistake of using it one afternoon in a second car park because the main one was full, this cost me a £50 parking fine, ok my fault for not reading small print, this only allows for free WINTER parking.
Unfortunately this was enough to put us off visiting this accommodation again, and I think this situation should be CLEARLY explained by Sykes Cottages in the ad for the accommodation for the benefit off everyone..
