“Lounge curtains could do with replacing and closure at the moment is not very good.”

- Mr Lingard, October 2020

“The house and area is very nice.”

Was not expecting the walk from the house to the centre and the harbour to be so hilly. Down hill took about 20 minutes, back up, much much longer. Exhausting, only fit to flake out. This put us going out at night. Could not face the climb again. Had lovely coastal and inland walks. Local people very friendly.

“The House was not very clean when we arrived , dead flies in the window sills , dirty plates in cupboards , old stained carpet in the downstairs loo!”

A very damp smell when you opened the front door. The outside of the property is very untidy , the Balcony has broken tiles, weeds and a very unstable rail. The roof over the porch has weeds growing out of it and is in disrepair. The grass had not been cut and the Garden is very open no boundaries with 7 properties over looking you. The shrubs in the garden have just been hacked back and look very unsightly, all the paths needed a good sweep and clean. I do not recommend this property. On your photographs there are chairs on the Balcony to sit out but there aren’t any, the sun beds are both broken! Underneath the balcony there was some old guttering just chucked there. The price we paid for a week we expected a lot better and will not book with Sykes again.

Many thanks for your feedback, although we were concerned to read that the property was not satisfactorily presented prior to your arrival. As you will appreciate, we work very hard with our owners, caretakers and housekeepers to ensure high standards of cleanliness are maintained, so it is very disappointing to read these comments. Your feedback has been passed on to the owner of the property who has been in contact with the caretaker regarding the points raised. Please know that if you had made us aware of the situation whilst you were at the property we would have been able to rectify these issues for you. We are also grateful for the feedback regarding the exterior of the property, we have passed this on to the owners who have addressed the matters mentioned in the garden and on the roof. We hope that you still managed to enjoy your holiday and hope to welcome you back to the area again in the future. Owner relations

“Good location, lovely views from house.”

Everything you need, a home from home. Nice weather was a bonus. Plenty of walks in and around Salcombe and nearby places e.g. Hope Cove

The property

Located above the lovely town of Salcombe, Mallards is a well-presented and spacious home, lying within the South Devon AONB where you can delight in both the countryside and the coast. Perfectly suited to a family holiday or a reunion of friends with its three bedrooms, this property will be a fantastic base for whatever your adventures involve. Come back from the beach and once you've shaken all the sand away, hop onto one of the inviting sofas and wind down with some television or get stuck into a book for an hour. The lovely wooden dining table opposite is perfect for gathering around for a board game, or why not plan the activities for the rest of the trip together? You'll cook up some delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen, fitted beautifully in a lovely green hue and bright and airy like the rest of the property. Benefiting from two balconies means that on a warm summer morning you can enjoy a coffee looking out to Shadycombe towards Snapes Point and the hills beyond. When night falls, head to one of the three bedrooms which comprise of a 5ft in the master bedroom, a twin and another twin with 2'6" single beds. The rooms are served by a family bathroom which includes a bath with shower over, so you can have the luxury of deciding if you want a relaxing soak or a refreshing shower. Outside you have half an acre of terraced grounds and lush greenery, as well as garden furniture and a gas barbecue for when the sun comes out. The town of Salcombe is a delightful place with many things to do on your doorstep, take a stroll around the harbour and marvel at all the different boats, stopping to get some classic fish 'n' chips on the way. Head down to one of Salcombe's beaches; North Sands for a paddle in the calm shallow waters, or South Sands to try your hand at paddle-boarding or kayaking. With restaurants, pubs and other various eateries within the town, you can enjoy a night off from cooking with an evening meal at one of the many brilliant eateries. Mallards is a dream come true for a group looking to enjoy the wonders of Salcombe.

There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens.

The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking, including the South West Coast path.
