• "The Sail Loft is an amazing house and is ideally situated to explore South Devon."

  I could go on about how beautiful the house is and how well equipped and furnished but it is easier say It is our second stay in less than 3 months and it won’t be our last! Sharon and Andy are very gracious hosts and do everything in their power to ensure you have a great holiday.

  Thank you so much Graham & family for choosing Sail Loft again for your break, always a pleasure to welcome returning guests, so pleased you all enjoyed. Thank you so much for the positive feedback & we look forward to seeing you again next year. Best wishes Sharon & Andy Property Owner

• "Me,my wife Di, daughter Jess, son in law Sam and grandson Max stayed at Sail Loft the week of August Bank Holiday."

  We had enjoyed a fabulous stay at Sail Loft in July 2023 and we had agreed that if circumstances allowed , we would like to return in 2024 which we did. We all agreed that our stay in 2023 was the best property we have ever stayed in and we have stopped on plenty of great properties over the years. The property is very luxurious in a great location , the fixtures and fittings of the highest quality , situated just a few minutes from Town and a good base to travel to other holiday places across South Devon. A good pub called Smugglers Inn a few minutes walk away with views of the sea serving excellent meals is well worth a visit. Already looking to return again in 2025 , would certainly recommend this property to anybody looking to holiday in South Devon

  Thank you Alan & family for taking the time to leave a review & it’s music to our ears as owners that you choose Sail Loft again this year for your holidays, we are so happy you all enjoyed your stay. As you say it is in a great location with beaches, public transport & the South coastal path on the doorstep! We always have a trip to The Smugglers when staying, great food & great views! We would love to welcome you & your family back next year, best wishes Sharon & Andy. Property Owner

  The property is visually stunning from the outside and the interior glamorously stunning. It is equipped with the very best available to make the stay as enjoyable as possible and I can not think of anything else that we could need. To add to it all it is situated in one of our most favourite areas of the country and gives easy access to all that South Devon has to offer. The hardest part of the holiday was leaving! We hope to be back in the near future. Many thanks to Sharon and Andy for sharing your beautiful holiday home.

  We are absolutely delighted that you all enjoyed Sail Loft, we love it when our guests enjoy this beautiful home as much as we do! And off course the location, as you say is so affordable to everything that this part off Devon has to offer. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review & please come & visit again .

  Great facilities, everything you needed in the Kitchen, should you choose to dine in and easy to follow appliance instructions. The owner information pack was extremely useful and accurate as was the information we received from the owners prior to arrival. We all really enjoyed relaxing in the garden when the sun allowed, it’s a real sun trap! Great location for exploring Devon, had some great walks on the south west coastal path, which was on the doorstep, and would recommend The Smugglers Inn for food and views. We had a great time at Sail Loft and would love to stay again and would definitely highly recommend! It made the holiday Perfect.

• "This holiday property is one of the best we have stayed in."

  It has all the home comforts you could wish for including comfortable furniture and beds and Sky Glass. The electric charging was very important part of booking this holiday home which not many properties have. When I go on holiday I like to have all the comforts I have in my own home and this holiday home fitted the bill.

  Thank you both for taking the time to leave such a positive review, so pleased you found Sail Loft both comfortable and enjoyable. We all enjoy having the home comforts whilst away from home and we are so happy to provide this to our guests. Great to have feedback on the EV charging point as this is a new addition, so thank you for that. Please come and visit again, we love to welcome returning guests, once again many thanks for choosing Sail Loft. Property Owner

• "We loved the property and the facilities/equipment provided were of an extremely high spec."

  The welcome pack was lovely and the information in the property was really useful. Owners were very helpful about setting up ev charging too. I have taken off one star though because a big part of the appeal for us was the promise of a path down to shell cove beach. I appreciate the path being closed was out of the owners’ control but it did detract from the overall experience and we didn’t know of the situation until just before arrival.

  Thank you Lorraine for the review, so pleased you loved the property and found the information provided useful. Apologies for the path to the beach being closed, unfortunately it is something totally out of our control. Network Rail are working on the cliffs and this is a health and safety measure implemented by them, there is however easy access to both Dawlish and Teignmouth beaches, a short walk or drive away for guests to enjoy. We look forward to the path being reopened for all to enjoy. Best wishes Sharon & Andy. Property Owner

  It is large, bright and very comfortable. Furniture and fittings are top quality and we wanted for nothing. It is very close to Dawlish and Teignmouth so we enjoyed a lot of time at both. The outdoor space is perfect and we really did not want to leave. I wouldn't hesitate to book this place if you are looking for a modern, comfortable house as a base for a break. Thank you to the owners for making us feel so welcome!

  Feeling on top of the world writing this, so happy you enjoyed your stay , it is a beautiful spot and a special location and a very special home from home, the alfresco dining is so lovely.

• "Absolutely beautiful house in a great location."

  Very modern design with some lovely design touches in the decor. Only 0.9 of a mile from Dawlish train station on the mainline which made for a relaxing holiday. Inside a gated complex and in a quiet location. Great communications from the owners and a lovely welcome pack on arrival. The house was also absolutely spotless. We would very happily stay there again and there were zero complaints during our wonderful stay there. I would recommend it.

  Smiling in the sunshine as I’m writing this, thank you for your lovely comments, a lot of time & thought went into the design of Sail Loft to make it as welcoming & also holiday vibes as we possibly could, the location is amazing.

• "A lovely property equipped with high end appliances and easy to follow instructions."

  Enjoyed the welcome pack especially the locally produced honey. We really enjoyed our stay. Getting around was very easy as the bus stop was just outside the property with frequent services. In fact we hardly needed to use the car. National rail are still carrying out extensive work on the cliffs so could not access the cove. Easy walking access to other coastal paths. Highly recommended property.

  Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review , so happy you enjoyed your stay, our guests enjoyment is our number one priority always. The easy access public transport in Devon is fantastic. Pleased you enjoyed the honey, it’s our favourite. Would love to welcome you back, happy summer! Sharon & Andy. Property Owner

• "A superbly appointed rental."

  Thoughly enjoyed our stay (didn't want to leave). The generous welcome pack set the tone from the time we arrived. Very good location. Smugglers Inn pub 5min walk for good pub grub. Teignmouth and Dawlish both in easy reach. Dawlish walkable but the trudge back up the hill might be a bit much for some. Good location for exploring much of South and East Devon, Dartmoor etc. I grew up in the area and would not hesitate to book Sail Loft again. Absolutely no complaints.

  We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Sail Loft and the welcome pack off course. It is in a great location for exploring Devon! Nice to have great feedback form guests that were local to the area, please come back and visit soon and thank you for taking the time to write a review. Best wishes Sharon & Andy. Property Owner

• "Sail Loft is genuinely one of the best places we've stayed at - a thoroughly modern new build in a great location on the southern edge of Dawlish, in a gated development overlooking the sea."

  We were impressed with all the facilities (for example we've never stayed in a holiday let with a Quooker tap or a Dyson hairdryer before!) and all the little details and touches - it's clearly important to the owners that guests really enjoy their stay, and am happy to report we loved it. Once we shake off this cold weather and the bi-fold doors can be fully opened, that patio is going to be a wonderful sun trap and summer guests are in for a treat! Thank you for our wonderful stay.

  Thank you so much for your positive feedback, absolutely delighted you were impressed with all the facilities, we are constantly striving to provide our lovely guests with those little extra touches! Thank you for taking the time to write your review and fingers crossed for a long hot summer for us all to enjoy, we would love to welcome you back. Best wishes Sharon & Andy. Property Owner

• "Wow! A really first class house, spacious, comfortable and tastefully furnished and decorated."

  The property is exactly like the photos and was spotlessly clean. Great kitchen facilities with everything you need should you choose to dine in (as we did) and easy to follow appliance instructions. Big beds which were super comfy and inviting, providing a great nights sleep with blackout blinds. The owner information pack was extremely useful and accurate as was the information we received from the owners prior to arrival. We really enjoyed relaxing in the tropical garden when the sun allowed, it’s a real sun trap! Had a lovely time on the estates beach, very private and quiet with lovely views from the seating at the cliff top. Great location for exploring Devon, had some great walks on the south west coastal path, which was on the doorstep, and would recommend The Ness at Sheldon for food and views (an hours walk, fab.) We had a great time at Sail Loft and would love to stay again and would definitely highly recommend! We loved it!

• "On arrival though check in was from 3pm we had to wait for 10 mins as cleaner was running behind."

  The photos were deceptive, had to walk through the front garden to the house which is the only area to sit, we did have a nice time but things could be improved there needs to be either vertical blinds, net curtains or privacy film put on windows as there is no privacy in bedrooms if you wish to relax with the blinds up especially the master bedroom and the bedroom facing the main road. The master bedroom was right by the gated entrance so be aware you will need the blinds down most of the time. The kitchen was OK but needed sharper knives for cooking and tongs, everything was quite high which if your vertically challenged may be a issue. The welcome pack should have all appliance instructions which is usually supplied in every house we have been to, it says everything is self explanatory but not really we had to Google how to use the ovens. Beds and pillows very soft so maybe have a couple of firmer ones to give people a choice. According to your website listing it looks like the private seating area overlooked sea is part of the house which it is not, it is on part of the walk to the private beach which if you have mobility issues is not easy to get to, you have to walk downalot of very steep steps then under the railway, when you get to the other side its abit overgrown I don't think going down and back up will be easy if your carrying beach stuff with you, also there is building work going on at the estate because of the cliff workers which isn't listed. Lovely walk along coastal path to dawlish but steep coming back up though the views make up for it. All in all we had a nice time I'm just being picky but think slight improvements would help other people.

  Many thanks for your comments and apologies for the 10 minute wait regarding getting in, our housekeeper will have wanted to ensure the property was absolutely perfect, we are sorry for any inconvenience caused by the slight delay. We do ensure that the advert pictures are very accurate and we do mention in the advert bullet points that it is a front patio leading to the front door and which is reflected in the lead picture. All windows and patio doors have blinds for guest privacy - the property is not on a main road itself, but is situated on a gated estate. The knives in the kitchen are quite new but thank you for your feedback about tongs, we will of course consider them. There is a welcome pack on a table in the property and we do also provide instructions for all appliances in that pack, we are sorry if you did not notice these for the oven. We do also appreciate that beds and pillows are subjective and personal preference. We clearly mention in the advert text underneath the bullet points, that Sail Loft 'enjoys access to a wooded walk that takes guests down to the estate's secluded beach, you can stop along the way at the shared dining area to take in the sea views'. We have also included pictures of this wooded walk plus a picture of the beach at lower level, so that guests can make an informed decision as to whether this property location would be suitable for them. The works are actually at the end of the wooded walk near the railway area where some vegetation planting is underway and which does not impact the property at all, with the area in question being a 15 minute walk away. Having spoken to you during your stay, we're surprised that you didn't mention to us about needing an item such as tongs or needing assistance with the location of oven usage instructions. We were of course available for any help if needed and Sykes also have a dedicated helpline for any guests in one of their properties - we are sorry we were not given the opportunity to help you at the time as we always strive to make sure our guests have the most perfect stay.

  The house is very comfortable and the location is quiet The beach was fun and empty every time we visited, although this may be due to the "summer weather". Had a very minor issue that was very quickly attended to - could not ask for better response. Dawlish is a good 10-15 minute walk away, although its all up hill on the way back! Really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to recommend

  Many thanks Antony for your positive feedback, very much appreciated. So pleased you found Sail Loft comfortable and peaceful. The beach is very enjoyable I agree, lovely for a refreshing swim!

  First impression was Wow. It’s as the pictures show very stylish. Also, comfortable, clean and relaxing. The info pack was helpful, always like to know how everything works. We were a family group of six and it was big enough to enjoy eating together and then relaxing on the sofa and the big bean bag after a full day of exploring the area. There’s a handy extra fridge in the utility room we used for drinks, needed after navigating some of the Devon back roads! The private beach is worth the walk down, we found some sea glass to keep as a memento of our stay. We love Devon and have been exploring it for years and we would love to return to the Sail Loft.

  Thank you Amanda, so please you all enjoyed your stay at Sail Loft and that you found the info pack helpful. Its a great base to locate yourself for exploring Devon and there is always plenty more to see and do. Having the beach to explore and relax on is a treat or just sitting at the top of the cliffs to enjoy the view!

  However it would be very helpful if all the household information was in one folder. We did not learn that the beach gate had a padlock until we went there but fortunately a neighbour gave us the combination. We have left that information for future guests.

  It's ideal for adults or a family with older children, as there is a lot of glass and pale furnishing in the property. There is a private beach area; the walk down to it is steep in places but well worth the effort when you get there. Sail Loft is well equipped, and the owners responded immediately when I requested a cafetiere - it arrived on the doorstep the next day.
