• "Amazing property!"

  We loved our stay! Such tasteful and homely decor and a great view! The location is perfect to be right in the middle of town! We really enjoyed just sitting on the balcony or in the living room just looking out over the estuary !

• "This is a lovely cottage in an enviable position in Salcome."

  Parking space was really handy. Very close to all the shops, and when the sun is out, breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the water, just tops it off.

• "Gorgeous cottage."

  Great location. Only downside is evening/night time noise from Fore Street/the harbour but if want to be central AND have views then that's a trade-off you have to accept.

• "The property was great as usual but thinking that all properties are meant to have a deep clean this one didn’t as the bathroom bin was left full of waste and dead flies etc around the back of the toilet did not expect this when you are asking for premium monies for these properties."

  Many thanks for leaving your comments. We were sorry to read that the presentation of the property upon arrival was unsatisfactory. We have passed on these issues to the housekeeping team and would like to reiterate that this is not of standard. Please accept our apologies and we hope that your holiday in Salcombe was still enjoyable. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay at this brilliantly located cottage in Salcombe, which has an unbelievable terrace with outstanding views."

  I do think the owners are aware of this and haven't necessarily invested in home comforts for some years (aside from a clear, quick basement bathroom refurb). For the money paid, and charged in summer months, the property would benefit hugely from little things like headboards for the beds, new sofas with more comfortable cushions (currently rather flat), Smart TV, better knives etc. We were also only given three dishwasher tablets which felt rather stingy (we don't have a dishwasher at home so didn't feel inclined to buy some). We had also recently arrived from a similarly priced cottage at which we were greeted with a cream tea and flowers so may have felt slightly flat for us on arrival. That said, it's a cottage that will have no problem selling out given the fab location and view, and comfort levels were fine but could be improved at relatively little cost.

• "There has been a new dishwasher installed which is lovely but it is difficult to access and you are unable to open the door fully."

  Not sure what options there are though. Another lovely holiday in Salcombe staying at 29 Fore Street. Will be back.

• "From picking up the phone and booking to leaving eveything was perfect."

  Sykes cottages were very helpful even rang on the day of arrival to inform me where eys would be. Our accommodation was ideal for us right in the middle of everything but with a lovely peaceful terrace which was a nice sunny spot. We didnt want to leave. I would recommend booking places to eat as size of places reduced with covid restrictions.

• "Very comfortable, well-equipped cottage in a great location."

  Lots of great books. The cottage had everything we needed, including when we had to cook for two nights due to the restaurants and bars closing for the second Covid lockdown. We liked the cleaning pack with washing tablets and sponge that was provided. Useful parking space behind locked gates. The balcony overlooking the estuary was very pleasant indeed. The only problem I can comment on is the damp patch in the lower bathroom that needs attention. There were only two of us, so it was not a problem for our holiday as we inhabited the ground and first floors. However, anyone staying in the lower bedroom would have had to live with a damp smell.

• "Salcombe is a great location suitable for exploring the local beauty spots including East Portlemouth (great walk up to Gara Rock via a coastal walk) and Salcombe paddleboard hire are friendly, flexible and very accommodating), Burgh Island, Sore Mill Cove, Hope Cove (11mile return walk on the coast path) , Kingsbridge, South Sands, South Milton Sands (Beach House Café is a must for breakfast) The Cottage is in an excellent location in the heart of Salcombe."

  2 bedrooms and the living area has fantastic unspoilt views over the harbour with fantastic sunrises to be seen on the clear days I have seen reviews about restricted parking, this could not be further from the truth. it is both secure (Key fob and behind locked gates) and more than big enough for my Landrover Defender. The cottage was left clean and equipped with all you need to self cater for a large family. Yes, there is some damp issues in the lower ground floor bathroom but expected from a property of this age and situation. considering there is a separate toilet on the ground floor and a en-suite shower on the first floor i do not see this as a big issue. the separate laundry room was very handy! Would defiantly go back again.

• "Lovely cottage, great location."

  Mattress and pillows on both double beds very uncomfortable. Bit lumpy. Bunk bed mattress and pillows are fine. Very well equipped compact kitchen. Lovely view. Drain in utility room will overflow with soapy water and soaks into mats on floor at times. Parking very handy, but instructions on how to access would be useful. Last stayed here about 20 years ago, and not sure why it's taken us so long to stay again. Hope to return soon! (But please change mattresses.)

  Just perfect. The accommodation, although snug for 5 adults and 1 child, worked well. 29 Fore Street is well equiped meeting your every need. We were amazied how quiet the property is dispite the seaguls and passers by. A lovely haven in the heart of Salcombe.

  It’s a fabulous location overlooking Whitestrand Quay, always something happening on the water. Great views towards Snape’s Point and beyond. The property is quite quirky, with sloping floors but comfortable. It’s well equipped and benefits from secure parking, a fabulous asset. Looking forward to our next stay at 29 Fore Street next year.

  We’ve stayed in several properties with Coast & Country and all have been great. We have a 4 year old daughter and 29 Fore Street is perfectly placed in the heart of Salcombe with easy access to shops, pubs and the ferries to take us to the best beaches – ideal for little legs!

• "It was exactly as restful and comfortable as we expected from C&C and what a stunning view!"

  However a couple of things could improve the experience. I found the thermostat difficult to use with flashing numbers and incomprehensible messages like SET appearing...it was a lottery...a simple instruction sheet in the folder would have helped. A blanket in the downstairs bedroom would be useful as the duvet is very thin. The toaster didn’t work in that I couldn’t get the toast to stay down and it popped up immediately! Very, very minor issues, but they may help you and future customers.

  In case it's not clear on the website, there's a bedroom on the lower ground floor with a bathroom.

• "Great location in the centre of Salcombe with marvellous views of the harbour."

  However the property should not be listed as 3 bedrooms as the bedroom and bathroom in the basement is damp and smelly and not really usable. The living space is very cramped and not comfortable for more than 4 persons. The outside of the terraced house is very rundown. The car parking space is very difficult to get in and out of with anything bigger than a mini.

  With reference to your feedback may I firstly thank you for your positive comments in respect of the views and location of this cottage. Whilst I do appreciate your point in respect of the size of this waterside cottage I believe it is fairly and accurately presented on our website, with several images of the open plan living accommodation, and a note to recommend a maximum of '4 adults' in any party. The lower rooms have been extensively used to good effect over many years so I am sorry to read that they were not effectively aired prior to your visit. I am also disappointed to see that the outside areas were not as tidy and well maintained as usual and have asked for these to be attended to as soon as possible. Finally, and whilst I do agree that parking access is relatively challenging in this central part of Salcombe, many guests have arrived with larger-sized, family cars and taken full advantage of this great option. We will continue to review feedback in this respect and amend our description/advice if appropriate. In conclusion, if you would like to discuss these points in more detail please do not hesitate to contact me directly at any time. Property Owner

  The only negative is the basement bedroom and bathroom felt rather damp which was fine because there were only 2 of us with one child and therefore we all slept upstairs, but I wouldn't liked to have slept in the basement for two weeks. But overall a wonderful property.
