“I had read other feedback but personally we were more than happy with our stay.”

The parking is a good five minutes away but I would imagine most holiday makers and residents park in the carpark. The cottage when we found it, it was a bit busy that afternoon is situated in the middle of Salcome ideal for shops and pubs as well as takeaways, it was clean when we arrived and pretty much as the photographs had shown. We had a good week around South Devon and would return to the area.

“The whole cottage is very tired - Damp walls round the front bedroom window - We found dried food on the plates and cutlery from the previous occupants.”

The neighbour is very noisy, drilling holes in the wall at 7.00 pm There is everything you need for your stay but the property requires a full clean and a some repair work - Don't go by the pictures - Great access to the town. You did ask....

“From booking to checkout the process was smooth, efficient and stress free.”

The welcome by the local team was warm and we were soon settled into the house which is situated in the middle of Salcombe. For a couple the property is ideal and a bit quirky. After a day of exploring it was great to come back to a warm comfortable base which had great internet access and free Netflix and Amazon tv. The great advantage was that we were able to shop locally and Prepare our own meals . It was almost impossible to book a table anywhere. Overall we would fully recommend the company, the local team and Lee Shore. Thank you Karen and Keith

“What a super cottage.”

It's brilliantly located and is warm, cosy and comfortable and very well equipped.

“Information not great as to finding accommodation as need to explain that there are two types of parking permits in Salcombe.”

We have never used this system before and managed to park in wrong car park and received two parking tickets. Needs explaining that the permit does not guarantee a space in the car park but only pays for your stay if you can find one. Accommodation was fine apart from finding it.

- Mr Williams, October 2020

We were sorry to hear that you had issues using the parking permit issued to you during your stay at Lee Shore. The list of car parks that the permit is valid in are printed on the laminate issued to you, and unfortunately having a permit does not guarantee a space. We do endeavor to make this as clear as possible in the description. We hope that despite this inconvenience you were able to enjoy your time in Salcombe. Owner relations
Mr Wright September 2020

“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..

Mr Shorter September 2020

“Lee Shore is a delightful holiday home.”

The third time I've stayed there. However, I would feel a lot safer going up the steep stairs to the living area if there was some kind of hand-rail to assist. Also, I note the main sash window is in need of repair. Looking forward to returning next year.

- Mr Shorter, September 2020
Mr Davies August 2020

“The staff in Salcombe were excellent, responsive and polite whereas Sykes let’s itself down centrally.”

My only criticism of the property, is I must stress, nit picking,:- Cutlery drawer short on forks, Plaster flaking by bedroom window, understandable with an old property, Crisper bedding would have been nice ( my partner’s comment.) As I said all pretty petty stuff but you asked for feed back so I had to find something.

- Mr Davies, August 2020
Mr Reid July 2020

“I have marked cleanliness as the property has a large patch of damp coming through the wall under the main bedroom window.”

Also the kitchen window frame is covered in black mold.

Mrs Turner October 2019

“Yes we were very pleased with Lee shore but we were disappointed with the ...”

Yes we were very pleased with Lee shore but we were disappointed with the cleanliness and the bedding was a bit tatty, and only having one large towel and one small towel to last a week is not good

- Mrs Turner, October 2019
Mr Shorter August 2019

“This is the second time I've stayed in this property.”

Glad to see that towels are now provided (they weren't last year). I wish there was a lighter duvet supplied as the one on the bed was far too thick for Summer use.

- Mr Shorter, August 2019
Mr Featherstone July 2019

“Possibly up grade shower waste as it can drain to slow and can overflow the shower tray and wet the floor”

- Mr Featherstone, July 2019
Mr Ottley June 2019

“Great location & lovely accommodation.”

Pity about noisy seagulls at night.

- Mr Ottley, June 2019
Mrs Ballantine April 2019

“This is a regular booking for us, we love to return to Lee Shore in Salcombe year after year, it almost feels like our 'home from home'.”

The location of the cottage is perfect and the water views from the lounge window, an added bonus. We'll be back... :-)

- Mrs Ballantine, April 2019
Mrs Rackham December 2018

“A great choice for a week over Christmas.”

A really snug and cosy little house,totally fitting the bill in every way. So handy for everything; breakfast croissants from the Bakehouse opposite really delicious! After a misty couple of days,we enjoyed lovely coastal walks with picnic lunches, and a visit to Greenway on the Dart...daffodils blooming! We hope to return but definitely not in the summer months!

- Mrs Rackham, December 2018
Mr Shorter September 2018

“Very steep stairs up to the living room from the hallway.”

I didn't have any real problems but needed to take care. I think this should be made clear to customers who might have some difficulty with this. I would have liked a small table at which to eat rather than just a bar stool next to a counter. Other than this a very comfortable and convenient location.

- Mr Shorter, September 2018
Dr Andrew Mills Aug 2018

“A small and central flat that was just what we needed for the week”

EMMA Jul 2016

“Lovely flat, great for two people.”

Nice views from the upstairs window of Fore Street and the Estuary. Right on Fore Street next to Fortescue pub and the bakery, so a bit noisy with early morning deliveries to both. But we had expected this. Well equipped kitchen, but could use a wooden spoon or spatula. Stairs a bit sleep and lots of them if you have mobility issues. Would stay again.

- EMMA, Jul 2016

“The perfect little hideaway and my 'home from home' after returning year after year.”

Great location and with a real cozy feel about the place, not to mention the best view across to East Portlemouth. Cannot wait to return...

“A lovely little cottage - was perfect for the two of us.”

The open plan living room and kitchen was fab. The location was perfect (although sleeping with the bedroom window open was very noisy from the bakery across the road).

- , Jul 2015

Many thanks for your positive review in respect of both our service and your stay at Lee Shore in Salcombe. We were delighted to read how much you enjoyed staying at the property and are grateful to you for your feedback. We were sorry to read that there was some noise from the nearby bakery, as this is quite unusual for Salcombe, even in such a central location. We very much hope that this was a rare occurrence and that it didn’t unduly detract from your otherwise enjoyable stay. Owner relations
Mrs KERRY Johnson Jun 2015

“We had a problem with the noise from the bakery opposite at the beginning of the week, not with the machinery but with the operatives shouting obscenities at each other during the night.”

For this reason would not revisit.

“Very nice little place, although no parking.”

Lost hours of sleep trying to find where to park at 2 o'clock in the morning and had to get up at 8am to move the car! Towels and bedding not provided. Big hassle to make the bed when we arrived at 1 in the morning!
