19 Bolt Head

A wonderful location and spacious, comfortable place

This is the second time we have stayed at 19 Bolt Head and would return at some point in the future.

great stay enjoyed the location

Excellent accommodation in a great location.

We have never stayed in upside down accommodation before but really liked it.

The apartment was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. Situated in a great location for walking and hiking

Apartment was just as advertised.

Very clean. Well equipped. Great location. Lovely internal courtyard with afternoon and evening sun. But Not much of a view of the sea. Short walk down to south sands bay with a lovely beach. Water sports hire available at Bo’s Cafe. Lovely setting for breakfast or lunch or just a coffee. Hotel does a lovely Sunday roast.

Property needs a good clean & overhaul.

The damage to the bedroom windows look to have been there a long while - possibly a fire hazard? Sofa filthy & wouldn't take too much effort to clean.I see there are a few 10/10 reviews on Trip advisor?? The standard of the property needs a review & puts me off using Coast & Country again...

Lovely space to spend a few days at, the place had everything we needed and is so close to the beach.

The EV charging onsite is an added bonus. The place will be even better once the downstairs patio door is fixed.

Fabulous location and easy to find (although we missed the property description bit which confirmed the parking access was 1.

9m!). Decor all a bit dated and tired and the ground floor bedrooms and bathrooms particularly so.

It would have been nice to have a welcome pack on arrival such as milk, yes and coffee.

Also salt and pepper cellars would also have been useful. There were no black bags when we arrived but these were supplied promptly. The hot water was too hot, this could cause scalding. A very pleasant stay in a well managed complex. May cause a problem for someone with mobility problems.

Great place with easy access to the surrounding area.

Loved the Ferry trip into Salcombe & positioned right on the SW Path enabling long walks along the spectacular Cliffs of Bolt Head. Definately will be staying again!

Won’t hire this property again.

Think about a little welcome pack milk water ! It’s furniture from the 90’s and Very dated….

Great apartment great location great price.

Lovely property in being location.

Only negative was that the pillows definitely need replacing. Apart from that everything was spot on!

The apartment is very close to South Sands, where there is a watersports hire shop.

We could make several trips to the beach in a day, enjoying the beach in the evening and hiring paddle boards etc. in the day. There is a ferry to the town centre and the walk's enjoyable. The apartment itself is cleverly set up, with bedrooms downstairs, keeping them cool. It was equipped with everything we needed. Only downside is the country roads make it hard to reach, but we used this as a reason to ditch the car for the stay, and the location and views more than make up for it. Would definitely come again.

Nice to stay here again now that the beds have been renewed.

All went well. Perhaps, the small shower could be upgraded as it is very small! Good to know that the sliding door was being attended to as it was very still.

The property was lovely, had everything that was needed.

Sykes have totally ignored my complaints re the problems at 19 Bolt Head they are not reacting to any things I’ve raised

Picking up the keys was a problem as the information given by Sykes was incorrect.

Coast and Country shut up shop at 4 pm on Saturdays and not 5.30 pm as stated in the instruction email from Sykes. We arrived just after 4 pm; there was literally nowhere to park, the apartment parking was a mile walk from the key pick up office, and there was nobody available to give us our keys. Luckily for us, there was a Coast and Country client who had made arrangements for a late arrival, and she found our keys with hers.

No.

I think it was great and all very efficient. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at 19 Bolt Head which had everything needed and more for a really comfortable and enjoyable stay.

My only negative would be the constant damp smell downstairs that lingered all week despite opening windows and the pillows probably need renewing. Other than that a really lovely place to stay that I would definitely recommend and return to !

Clean modern spacious accomodation and very well equiped.

Good location with well maintained grounds.

The property is in a good location with a parking space.

The facilities in the house itself are a little dated and could do with some TLC. For example, only one wardrobe door (not two) in one bedroom. The bathrooms were fine but the shower cubicles are of their time and a little on the small side. Our main gripe was with the crockery/glasses/cutlery as none of it was very clean (old food/lipstick etc) and we had to wash it all before use.

Comfortable accommodation, great location for the beach and access via the ferry to Salcombe.

Wonderful walking routes close by. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, we found the accommodation rather disappointing for the rental cost.

There was no light bulb in one of the lamps in the lounge area. No bath mat in the en-suite double bedroom. Dust and dirt was present inside the en-suite door. Only one towel rail was provided for the four towels. Furthermore, the towel hooks on the door were very slack. The double bedroom curtains barely covered the windows, when drawn. Subsequently, daylight was visible around the edges in the early morning. We could not find spare toilet rolls. No cling film or kitchen foil. The ice cube tray was cracked. All together, we thought the apartment was poor value for money, considering the cost of £854.00 for a three night stay.

This property has been renovated very cheaply.

One wardrobe sliding door was missing completely in one bedroom, curtain hooks broke when drawing the curtains in the same bedroom and both bathrooms need to be replaced completely, The bathroom suites are old, the taps are hard to turn, grouting and sealants are mouldy and both bathrooms are extremely cold.

Can i please extend my thanks for such a lovely place to spend a week with the family!

I can not fault the accommodation, i can see some previous reviews seem quite shallow and pedantic, i have nothing but super memories and we are seriously thinking about rebooking for next year! It was beautifully quiet, with some lovely views from the bench overlooking south sands, and within a stones throw of overbecks gorgeous gardens and coastal scenery. The bottle of wine awaiting us as we walked in was a welcome surprise! Make it a nice single malt next time!! ●giggles● Thank you coast and country, and thank you to the owners for letting us share the enjoyment of Salcombe from the comfort of a home away from home.

We were very pleased with the contact we had with your offices both when we booked and when we were on our holiday.

Everyone we spoke to was very helpful. Thank you.

At £100 a night in March, more during school holidays, this expensive modern apartment should have 100% cotton bed linen like the South Sands Hotel.

We had to bring our own bed linen which is a pain tbh. The apartment provided lovely large shower towels with smaller hand towels so surely 100% cotton bed linen isn't a big ask? The front bedroom appears only ventilated by the sliding glass doors but I couldn't see any way to secure the glass doors so there is no security if you need them open, particularly at night time. This is not a safe apartment unless you keep these doors shut but how is this possible during the warmer months of the year? I couldn't find an instruction manual for the heating system and it switched itself off randomly and I didn't want to fiddle around with it during a four night stay. Sykes Cottages should provide this manual, there are very clear instructions about how to deal with any rubbish.

This is a clean, well-presented, fairly modern apartment, conveniently located very close to South Sands beach and the National Trust property, Overbeck's. However, we were disappointed that there was no local-food and milk welcome pack when we arrived, as we have become used to this nice touch at other holiday properties. Also, neither of the bathroom extractor fans were working; although we eventually traced the problem to both the isolator switches (located high-up on the walls outside each bathroom) being set in the "off" position. The ground floor master bedroom also felt slightly damp throughout our stay, despite opening the windows regularly. The road to the property is incredibly narrow and steep; meeting cars coming the other way was like playing Russian roulette and not recommended for a nervous driver! The first floor, containing the lounge, kitchen and dining area, is within the roof section, so was always very hot and more difficult to ventilate with the Velux windows.

The standard and location of this property was perfect for us...

Excellent location appropriately furnished, however I consider it generally over priced.

Excellent

Excellent location, parking and facilities. Highly recommend.

Apartment light, spacious, extremely clean, as expected.

Good

Impressed that apartment seemed to have been newly decorated throughout.

Beautiful flat, well equipped, great location.

The apartment is very comfortable for our needs. I meant to leave feedback that the hook on the bathroom door had fallen off and the outside light hasn't got a bulb. As ever, it would be good if there was some wi-fi!

Location excellent. Was everything we needed. Very light, comfortable apartment.

not visiting until Sept
