What our customers say about their holidays

  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 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

  On arrival at the house we were disappointed by the level of cleanliness - bits of food still in the sink, on the highchair, in the fridge and on the sides of the kitchen.

  There was also a lot of dust gathering under the bed - only spotted due to dropping an earring! A really disappointing first impression especially given the current circumstances around cleanliness. The dishwasher didn't clean properly and items had obviously been put back at the end of the previous stay which were not clean. And the wifi connection was very poor. However, with that being said, everything else was perfect for our stay. It was very well equipped especially for our daughter with lots of books, toys, games as well as the cot & high chair which certainly saved us packing those items. Being all on one level was ideal for us too. The terrace was perfect for enjoying the mid day sun while the little one slept and we had friends over for drinks and to enjoy the super views too. The location was spot on, just a short walk from the supermarket and center of town but far enough to be away from any noise. We would definitely consider going again, as long as it was clean!

  This is a lovely apartment that is larger than we expected.

  It is up a small hill but it is difficult to find property without a hill in Salcombe. The wooden verhanda is in need of some attention but the garden furniture is lovely. The back bedroom is suffering with a small amount of damp. There is another apartment above you and some noise can be heard. It is ideally placed to explore Salcombe but anyone with mobility issues may struggle with the hill. The quality of the furniture and bedding is excellent and the kitchen is very well equipped. Children have been considered with lots of additional cutlery etc. However, although the apartment is dog friendly there are no spare dog bowls so you need to remember to take yours. There is freesat provided but unfortunately there are no instructions on how to use it!

  The perfect location and a lovely bright house.

  The beds were really comfy and 2 bathrooms were great. Slight negatives... the outdoor space was very tired, a couple of pots with request to water would have been nice but the back area was particularly scruffy. We couldn't get normal TV working at all (not a major problem as we only turned it on once) but even the teens couldn't manage it! Other slight negative, there was a damp smell, particularly in the back bedroom but I'm guessing the recent wet weather wouldn't have helped with this. Kitchen storage could be re-arranged to make a free cupboard for food but again nothing major. We would have booked again for next year as this was a perfect house for us but being for sale makes us nervous in case it's not continued as a holiday rental

  We have stayed here and in property above a few times.

  Great location near to town but definitely need to be able bodied and happy to walk up a very steep hill and steps. If you are happy to do this the reward is great with a wonderful decked huge balcony and amazing view offer salcombe. Modern light and airy rooms with 2 bathrooms. All equipment for cooking and cleaning available. Disappointing that the oven is not working on normal cook mode and shower door hanging off, however we have reported these and hopefully the owner will update before next stay. Cleaning could have been better. Sofa on legs were extremely dusty under neath, tv stand dusty and under beds were not cleaned with someone elses hairbrush remaining. All in all i would recommend and would return.
