• "We had the BEST stay at Sundowners."

  The only disappointment is that it’s not available May half term next year. So many positives. It has stunning views, both families have enough space. Superbly designed. Well equipped. Suitable price. The only feedback for the owner is that the oven door bottom left doesn’t close and dishwasher isn’t washing properly.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay! The oven door has been fixed and the dishwasher sorted as well - thank you for letting us know. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely holiday and we're very pleased with Sundowners."

  ..again...3rd time of staying. The building work going on at the annex was no problem at all,in fact the builders were a lovely friendly bunch of guys. There is a slight problem with the left side of the oven which doesn't appear to work and the dish washing didn't clean all if the dishes. Apart from that we were very please with the property many thanks Paul

• "The cottage was probably the best equipped I’ve stayed in."

  However, the hill back from town is an absolute killer! Some accurate description would be welcomed as it could prove a major issue to some.

• "Sundowners did not disappoint."

  A beautiful house with stunning views and it provided everything we could want or need. We immediately felt at home and the only problem was deciding who got the biggest bedroom! Everything was clean and tidy on our arrival and the garden had just been tended so looked great. Our grandson thoroughly enjoyed exploring the house and was amazed at all the room and bathrooms. This holiday was spent with all the family together and we would definitely book Sundowners again next time we holiday together. We just need to come up with an excuse to do that again very soon!

  The cottage could do with some needed TLC. If you let properties to allow pets which is fine and the property does state pets are aloud but there should be no traces for the following customers.

• "Sundowners was absolutely fantastic, everything and more you could want from this stunning property."

  The views were breathtaking, the space was amazing, and absolutely spotless, nothing was left to chance. We would definitely recommend Sundowners. This property is situated on top of a very steep hill, but we just used the car for the short journey to the car park to the town, so not a problem at all. Did not want to leave!!

• "Sundowners is a very spacious, comfortable and well-appointed place to stay for a large family."

  I stayed there for a week with my wife, two teenage children and two parents, and it always felt amply large enough for us to all have our own space; the separate lounge and snug with their own televisions were perfect in the evenings! Superb views out across the Kingsbridge Estuary and to the English Channel beyond, maximised by the huge glass windows and bi-fold doors to the entire south-facing elevation of the house. Ample parking for two cars but three would fit also. All four bedrooms had large, comfortable beds and there are four good bath/shower rooms (and a total of five toilets!) Salcombe town is just a half a mile away and North Sands beach is just under a mile. Both are walkable, but please note the walk back is quite steep and may be too much for some fitness levels. There are car parks in Salcombe and North Sands beach though, as an alternative to walking. Overall we had a lovely holiday in this great accommodation.

• "Our family had a great time celebrating Christmas together at Sundowners."

  The Welcome Christmas goody pack was a lovely touch.The property was nicely appointed, comfortable, clean, spacious and with all amenities for a family break. We loved having the separate areas when some of us needed to have quiet time. We enjoyed some walks to the beach and town, although the uphill trek back was challenging. The caretakers were responsive when we needed advice. We would recommend this property.

• "What a house."

  Absolutely stunning. Everything you need within. The kitchen / dining room should really have a tv, settee and couple of chairs maybe to make it more useable but apart from that no complaints. Oh apart from the disconnected guttering that’s allowing water to fall onto plastic roof below, pretty noisy by night. But even so this house is amazing. The third floor isn’t in action or included it’s closed off. Separate room for children with tv and sky tv was a bonus. Woodburners are also amazing we made use of the one in the kitchen. The dining table is big enough to invite the street for dinner we did scale it down a bit it was massive. Beds are really comfortable. Some places put cheap beds in but these were great. Salcombe its self is a stunning place, as a base to go on to other places not so great pretty hidden but even so a lovely house great location looking over the sea and I could of stayed longer. Was hoping Sykes would call us on last day as the property was empty for 3 days after our stay to offer us a deal to take the few days extra but didn’t happen :) but don’t hesitate about staying at this house it’s perfect especially for families. Huge open areas, absolutely great. Thank you for a great holiday Sykes you are number one.

• "First impressions are important ."

  On arrival outside was untidy..steps needed sweeping and dirty door/window frames covered in cobwebs. Inside is tired...we had to clean kitchen utensils, glasses And dishes had been put away dirty. Countertops sticky plus dining table sticky and crumbs. Floor dirty. I would have expected a welcome pack but there was nothing. In the bathrooms dirty toothbrush holder with dried toothpaste from previous clients in them was gross. Plus dirty toilet brushes. Dead flies behind furniture that had been there awhile as covered in dust . 4 TVs in property but 2 in bedrooms didn’t work at all and two downstairs were difficult/complicated to use. It states online there is an Xbox but there isn’t and caretaker said there has never been one. Disappointing!

• "It is a lovely house with a great view."

  The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. There is a lovely terrace outside which would be great for a BBQ and outside dining in the summer. It was a lovely space for our family with plenty of room for all. Visitors need to be aware that it quite a long walk into the centre of Salcombe and quite a climb to get back to the house. Too far for young children to walk. Only thing we could fault was there were no oven gloves!!

• "We really enjoyed our stay here , loved the large kitchen diner."

  Two comfy lounges both with Sky TV. The bedrooms were spacious with comfy beds the larger ones having ensuit bathrooms and Seaviews. Great property with Fantastic views and offroad parking for about 3 cars the only negative it's at the Top of a very steep hill so if you are not reasonably fit it's a hard slog back up and you will be using your car for the short trip down to the town.

  Reviewed by Philip5.0★Sep 2021

• "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sundowners."

  Great open plan kitchen diner, 2 x separate lounges and fabulous bifold doors out onto the garden, which is fully enclosed and great for pets and children (we had 1 x dog). It's not really clear from the pictures that there is a gate at the top of the steps to the car parking area so no need to bring anything to block across the steps to prevent access out at the top. Patio furniture is lovely and there are even a couple of sun-loungers, for if the weather is kind. You do need to be fit though as Herbert Road is at the very top end of Salcombe so it's quite a climb back up the hill from the town centre (but at least you get to work the calories off, from all of the ice-cream, cafes and great restaurants). Would definitely stay again and can very much recommend.

• "Sundowners is a lovely holiday home."

  Very spacious, homely and well equipped. A little tired on the outside but didn’t impact at all on our stay. We were informed there would be logs for at least one fire but these had to be bought up on the arrival day as they were not there. We would have expected a welcome pack, nothing elaborate maybe milk, biscuits, bottle of wine but nothing not even a few tea bags this was missed, most rentals provide this now. We really enjoyed the house and would stay there again, Thank you.

  Very comfortable and homely we couldn’t have wished for more. The views from the master bedrooms were spectacular. Loved the kitchen/dining area which was the hub of the house. My only negative comment would be there wasn’t enough outdoor seating for 7 adults. The outside picture on your website shows 6 patio chairs and there were only 4 and it would have been nice to have a few sun loungers. Fabulous property, fabulous location would return in a heartbeat!

• "We have stayed at Sundowners for a few years now , it is the first year that we were very disappointed with the cleanliness of the property."

  Dirty fridge, dirty microwave , dirty cupboards with remains of sticky food ,crumbs etc. Many plates , pans , bowls and cutlery left dirty and covered with food. Toothbrush goblets dirty with previous customers' toothpaste. Stained Matress cover. I find this unacceptable and believe that your cleaning company should have plenty of time to clean the house thoroughly between 10am and 3pm. Further more, I do not appreciate to have to clean on arrival. I sincerely hope this will be dealt with in the future. This experience has left us hesitant to book again next year The staff in the Salcombe office dealt with it all very promptly and were most helpful.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave a review regarding your recent stay at Sundowners. We were very sorry to hear the property was not up its usual standard for your arrival. We have spoken to the cleaners and raised these concerns as this is not how our properties should be setup. I believe one of our managers popped up to the property and replaced the kettle for you and offered to clean the property but you had done this before her arrival. Unfortunately, as you may be aware many of the cleaners are needed to do more than one property during the changeover period 10am-3pm, regardless of this we are sorry that on this occasion it slipped through the net. In regards to the mattress protector, this have now been removed and cleaned. We hope this hasn’t put you off booking this property again and hope to see you in Salcombe again soon. Property Owner

  ... just could have done with a dust at floor level and ceiling height and a fresh coat of paint! But interiors were beautiful! And so much space. I also would show that the garden is gated and that you could easily get 5 cars on the drive as this isn’t obvious from the description or the photos. Overall great wknd.

• "Overall a great place to stay."

  High in the hill so a looong trek back from the town or the beach but it keeps you fit! A handy spar just down the road helped to ensure that any necessary purchases were easy. Showers definitely not power showers and it could have been cleaner - lots of cobwebs and muck in corners. Sofa not comfortable, but kitchen diner a great place for everyone to gather and be together.

• "Beautifully appointed property with wonderful views."

  There is really nothing to dislike about Sundowners except perhaps the fact that the freezer is located in the utility room ; a bit frustrating when ice is needed for the pre-dinner gin and tonic! Two more small points. The internal doors stick and are therefore difficult to open and close and it would be helpful to have some serving dishes; but really a beautiful property and we will be back.

  Our only minor gripe would be that the mattresses on the double beds have a bit of a camber on both of them. I know it is difficult to please everyone mattress wise (i.e too soft for some too firm for others) and the beds are otherwise comfortable.

• "The only two negative comments I would make is that there wasn't any condiments of any kind left and the area outside to the utility area was a hazard when it rained."

  The gutters were leaking & the floor got extremely wet which caused me to fall and graze all my hand to save myself. It could have been a lot worse. Maybe the roof should be improved or at the very least use non slip paint on the floor. Someone will have a serious fall I fear if not. Everything else was just perfect .

  With reference to your recent holiday may I firstly thank you for your feedback and secondly for the kind comments in respect of our staff. Whilst I am very pleased you had such a lovely holiday I was concerned to hear that the utility room floor became wet during your stay. As a consequence of your feedback, and as a precaution to avoid further incidents of this nature, the owners have agreed to lay down some anti-slip rubber matting in the affected areas. In conclusion, many thanks again for your comments - please contact me directly if you wish to discuss anything further in respect of this holiday/property. Andrew Jones DIRECTOR Property Owner
