“Loved the property.”

Brilliant open layout with more than enough space for eight

Brilliant open layout with more than enough space for eight Decor was beautiful almost too good for a rental with such plain light colours throughout A steep walk up from the town

- Mr Millbanks, July 2021
Mrs Dawson June 2021

“Soundings is a beautiful property, sat high up on Raleigh Road an easy walk to town, downhill but a bit of a climb back up the hill.”

A really lovely home, well equipped for a very comfortable stay in Salcombe. Lovely luxurious bedding and beds, clean towels, beautiful bathrooms and lovely and warm. Some honest feedback; The house (especially kitchen) could do with a good deep clean. We had to get the cleaners back to re clean the kitchen floors and bathroom floors, but that was dealt with promptly. The cutlery was not clean, we had to put it all through the dishwasher due to finding numerous dirty forks and spoons. The kitchen units were sticky and had lots of fingermarks, especially around the dishwasher, bin area, cooker area and fridge area. There are no cleaning products, no bin bags and no cleaning cloths in Soundings, and the cleaner did not have any, so we popped out and brought our own. The carpets throughout the house are stained in places and these could also do with a good clean. There is only parking for one small car (the description on the property says two medium sized cars). The drive fits one golf type car and the garage is locked (rented out to Salcombe Trading) so no ability to park in the garage, so we are not quite sure where the two medium parking spaces are. The instructions in the house state that the garage keys are in the kitchen but the key has obviously been removed ! Parking on the road is limited and not easily available, so bear this in mind if you are visiting with a family of one car or more! The patio furniture was very dirty, full of seagull mess, so we cleaned that too! That said we had a fantastic holiday in Salcombe and a lovely stay in Soundings. Salcombe was exceptionally busy though, with very limited tables in restaurants and pubs - so book before you go! Soundings is excellent and a really good base for Salcombe/Kingsbridge/Dartmouth. This is our 10th consecutive year in Salcombe - and we will continue to visit as its one of our favourite places to go in June/September.

- Mrs Dawson, June 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were sorry to hear that the property was not presented to the usual high standards. It is always disappointing that a guest has to contact us on arrival with a cleanliness complaint, but we were pleased that we were able to get the housekeeper to return quickly and address all the issues raised. Your feedback has been passed on to the owner and property checkers, and we will endeavor to ensure that all your comments are acted on. We are so pleased to hear that you had another enjoyable stay in Salcombe and look forward to seeing you next year! Owner relations

“Salcombe is a lovely quaint harbour town where we rented Soundings on Raliegh Rd, a short distance from everything.”

Stunning interior done to an exceptional standard. There are some steep inclines which are present wherever you stay or go, but just think of the locals! Sykes cottages make everything stress-free and simple, always keeping us informed of any changes (COVID related) and have used them for the last three years and will continue to do so. Top places matched by top service. Many thanks to all at Sykes. Perfect.

Garden furniture was an added bonus and perfect to relax in. By far the best accommodation we have ever had the pleasure of staying in!

There was no oven glove and needed some BBQ utensils. Otherwise it was excellent and an excellent base for a lovely week in Salcombe.

“Excellent holiday accommodation.”

Perfect quiet location. Very clean and spacious. Loved it! Complimentary wine and a pint of milk in the fridge. An amazing hamper! (special deal). Everything you need and more. Lovely views over part of the estuary. Spar shop just up the road for extras. Garden neat and tidy and rattan cube seating outside and BBQ. Great in the summer. Nice to have a separate washer and dryer as well. Couldn't fault it.

SARAH Jul 2016

“Unfortunately, we were enjoying ourselves far too much to remember to leave a note in the visitors book, however wish to thank the homeowners very much for allowing us to stay in your home.”

The house is fantastic and a great home for 6-8 people with wonderful facilities and makes for an enjoyable and comfortable place to relax after a tiring day out in salcombe and the nearby areas. The house is no more than a 15 minute walk to Fore St. Which offers all the needs of a seaside town from fudge to a classic Cornish pastie. The nearby beaches range from rocky to sandy and you have to venture no further than 10 minutes from the town (or a short hop on the ferry). I would highly recommend this property as its modern but still seasidey feel really made the time we spent in the home feel special. We would love to stay there again in the future as the home, destination and whole holiday experience was a joy. Thank you very much
