    “We really enjoyed our stay and would likely stay again.”

    However there are a series of small issues that need addressing that let the property down. 1. The kitchen worktops are tacky causing crockery and items to stick. It feels like the varnish is not dry or whatever product has been applied is not suitable. 2. The grass was very long upon arrival, after mentioning to maintenance man the gardener arrived and cut it a few days later. 3. The windows, gutters and doors need cleaning/ clearing externally.

    However there are a series of small issues that need addressing that let the property down. 1. The kitchen worktops are tacky causing crockery and items to stick. It feels like the varnish is not dry or whatever product has been applied is not suitable. 2. The grass was very long upon arrival, after mentioning to maintenance man the gardener arrived and cut it a few days later. 3. The windows, gutters and doors need cleaning/ clearing externally. There is a drip over back conservatory door caused by blockage in gutter. 4. During our stay one of the blinds fell down when I tried to operate it. The maintenance man came promptly and re-fitted it. They are heavy wooden type and all feel like they may come down if pulled. I stopped pulling them after the incident. 5. Windows need attention on handle mechanisms, some are tight and almost don't lock shut. 6. Lack of cleaning products in the property. 7. The 5 bar gate mechanism isn't the easiest to operate. 8. The en-suite is small. 9. Recycling information is unclear, there is just a large grey bin. Are you meant to use the neighbouring properties recycle bins? 10. Clock and tide time indicator both stopped, new batteries? 11. Sykes customer service is poor, it takes a week for them to respond to emails. The responses are generally unsatisfactory. NOTE: The drop at the end of the garden means it isn't suitable for puppies and young children would need constant supervision. A suggestion would be to seal off the path between the small courtyard and back garden to prevent dogs gaining access to the garden around the side of the conservatory. At least they can be safely let out if this is secure. The drive is awkward for inexperienced drivers or for those who may be lacking confidence. An older car or one with a low spoiler would struggle. Not much can be done about this, but it needs highlighting. On the positive: 1. All the appliances were excellent. 2. Kitchen was well equipped 3. Shower was good and plenty of hot water. 4. Location is good, Salcombe is lovely. 5. Layout of property is good 6. Very quiet spot and not too overlooked. 7. Hamper was very nice, thank you. 8. Beds are large and super comfy. As mentioned, we actually liked the property but would just like to provide feedback that may help improve the experience for future visitors. Some points could be improved by maintenance whilst others are mot addressable but could be made clearer on booking.

The property

Rock Point is a tastefully presented and well-equipped detached holiday home with a fully secure large garden and ample parking for two cars within easy reach of Salcombe town centre and the ferries, just a 5-7 minute walk away. The property and its location are ideal for families or one or two couples looking for high-quality holiday accommodation with quick and easy access to Salcombe and the surrounding coast and countryside. Access to the property is via six stone steps leading up to the main entrance and into a hallway with parquet flooring.

Alternatively, there is a rear entrance with just one step. Most of the accommodation is on the main level, with a short set of stairs leading down to the utility room and third bedroom. The attractively decorated and comfortably furnished sitting room features two large leather sofas, an armchair with a footstool, a coffee table, a feature wood-burning stove with a slate hearth, a TV with Freeview, a DVD player, and a soundbar with Bluetooth. Double doors open into a light, sunny, and particularly spacious conservatory with tiled flooring.

This space includes a large dining table that seats up to eight guests, along with a high chair. The well-presented and well-equipped kitchen features a range of cream wall and floor units, wooden worktops, a Neff electric oven with a four-ring gas hob, a Bosch dishwasher, a microwave, a fridge, a wine cooler, and a wooden-topped breakfast bar with five stools.

The floor is finished with stone tiles. There are three bedrooms in total. The master bedroom has a comfortable super king-size bed, bedside drawers, a mirrored wardrobe, a wall-mounted TV, and a small en suite with a shower, WC, wash-hand basin, and heated towel rail. The second bedroom, adjacent to the master, also has a super king-size bed, which can be split into two singles on request, bedside tables, a mirrored wardrobe, and a wall-mounted TV. On the lower floor, accessed via the utility room, is a third bedroom with wooden-framed bunk beds, a three-foot single over a four-foot-six double, a mirrored wardrobe, and a TV. In addition to the en suite shower room, there is a family bathroom with a bath, an overhead shower, a wash-hand basin, a WC, and two heated towel rails. The utility room, located on the lower level, is fitted with storage units, a wooden worktop, a Belfast sink, a washing machine, a tumble dryer, and a freezer.

A door leads from here to the front terrace and garden. To the front of the property, there is a lawned area and a stone terrace with a table, chairs, and a BBQ.

The enclosed garden provides a wonderful space for relaxing, with ample seating for alfresco dining, soaking up the sun, or simply enjoying a good book. Rock Point is situated in a relatively quiet area of Salcombe, Knowle Road, yet it is only a 5-7 minute walk into the town.

The famous harbour and estuary, popular with sailors and watersports enthusiasts, are very close by.

The beautiful beaches of East Portlemouth and Millbay can be easily accessed via a small passenger ferry that runs from the town year-round.

EPC Rating: Band D

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.

Second bedroom has a super-king bed that can be split to create two singles. This must be requested at the time of booking.
