“Holiday was wonderful Windy Heath was fantastic and exceeded our expectstions”

- Ms Abbott, September 2021
Mrs Burns September 2021

“Sadly not up to standard for price.”

Left very disappointed: I called FIVE times to have the master separated into singles – very rude management company and owner - STILL wasn’t done when we arrived (despite advertising this feature). ALL beds should be replaced – VERY soft and uncomfortable. Property is tired and needs a revamp in particular the kitchen and bathrooms. Fridge is terrible – left 5 items in on first night – by morning they had not cooled. Rude owner told us we had overloaded it. Had to use pool fridge for majority of week – no one came to look despite requests. Toilet in en-suite broken – took half the week to be fixed – no apology or mention. THEN charged £75 for a 1cm rip in the pool cover that WAS NOT THERE WHEN WE LEFT. Pool manager even said everything was fine. Have received ZERO responses to my emails – just taken the money and walked. Owner clearly shouldn’t be letting the property – Sykes you should ban him. Despite allure of a pool, avoid at all costs. There are much better properties to rent in Salcombe for the same or less money with much friendlier owners.

“Wonderful views and marvellous heated swimming pool that the kids loved.”

Lovely gardens, but the WiFi is a bit irregular and the narrow steep roads can be a bit unnerving when you meet someone coming the other way. The property is very spacious and the terrace was lovely to have meals on and barbecue, with the stunning view.

“This property was delightful.”

It was every bit as good as we had hoped. It was beautifully clean, spacious, well equipped and comfortable The outstanding views, the heated swimming pool and closeness to lovely beaches all added to the enjoyment of our holiday. There is plenty to do in the area. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked the house again for next year even before we left!

“We found Sykes staff very unhelpful when contacting them prior to our trip.”

The information provided by them changed depending on who you spoke to .They seemed to lack communication with the key collection office and the owners of the property. Paid a large amount for a house for 6 days, did not get our moneys worth at all.House was sub standard, cleaning issues, key collection shambolic, no wifi, no signal, dated furniture, locked cupboards throughout the house , personnel items in drawers, the list goes on in afraid !

- Mrs Taylor, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay at Windy Heath. It is disappointing to read that the key collection and drop off was not as smooth as we would expect and apologies you were not able to access the property earlier than the designated check in time as discussed prior to your holiday. We work extremely hard with our owners, cleaners and caretakers to ensure that our properties are presented to our high expectations. We are disappointed that the cleaning issues and Wi-Fi issues were not reported upon your arrival, as we would have been able to send back the caretakers to rectify these points. We do ask that our owners have their own locked cupboards for their personal belongings and is very common in self-catering properties but we apologise if this was a surprise to you. We hope you still managed to enjoy your first visit to Salcombe and the area and hope that you enjoyed our little fishing village enough to visit again in the future. 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.

The swimming Pool is open from the last May Bank holiday weekend to end September. Charges will apply to open or close outside these dates
The pool is 7m x 2m and depths are
0.9 shallow and 2m deep end.

The pool area will be closed between 8am and 10am every Thursday morning for maintenance. An extra call to check chemicals only will be made on Mondays (time subject to change).

The BBQ must be left clean on departure. If this is not possible we will organise this for you and the charge of £100 will be deducted from the Good Housekeeping Bond
