    “We complained to Country Cottages in Salcombe about the lack of cleanliness in the property.”

    This included dirty & torn voile curtains to the lounge & kitchen, floor to ceiling, with 4 - 5 ft rips in them, dirty furniture, thick dust in quite a lot of places & dirt around the edges of the skirting & floors. We also found a pair of used ladies knickers under the bed along with a lot of dust, found by us due to dropping something that rolled under the bed. The feedback from Country Cottages, by e-mail, was that they were sorry, but the property would have a deep clean at the end of the ...

    This included dirty & torn voile curtains to the lounge & kitchen, floor to ceiling, with 4 - 5 ft rips in them, dirty furniture, thick dust in quite a lot of places & dirt around the edges of the skirting & floors. We also found a pair of used ladies knickers under the bed along with a lot of dust, found by us due to dropping something that rolled under the bed. The feedback from Country Cottages, by e-mail, was that they were sorry, but the property would have a deep clean at the end of the season. When we booked this property, the cost of the rental includes cleaning, so it is not acceptable to make this the excuse for being dirty. We have been with Sykes on numerous times over the years, & this is by far the dirtiest property we have stayed in. We stayed in a cottage in July & it was spotlessly clean, so why can't this be clean? The difference seems to be when a property is cleaned by the owner it is a far better standard, but when it is cleaned by a cleaning company, the standard appears poor. We would appreciate your feedback as the Country Cottages response is not acceptable. e were asked to provide photos which we did

    - Glen, September 2023

    Thank you for sharing your candid feedback and raising the issue of cleanliness, which we agree should be a 'given'. We have escalated your feedback with the house keeping team, so that future guests have a more positive experience. The response from Coast and Country about the end of season deep clean was correct, as this includes upholstery and curtains being professionally cleaned plus any improvement works being carried out. As I'm sure you can appreciate, completing this type of work can be challenging during the changeover period as this is just a few hours. However, we were not aware of the sofa stains from previous guests, which would have benefited from some remedial attention in the short term. Please be assured that the property is now 'closed' for maintenance works for the next few weeks to ensure that everything raised in your feedback is resolved. Property Owner

About the location

SALCOMBE

Kingsbridge 7 miles; Dartmouth 21 miles; Plymouth 24 miles; Paignton 26 miles.

Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. 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. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. 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.

Gas fire not in use.

One well behaved dog permitted.
