Jonny September 2024

“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 !

- Jonny, September 2024
Sam August 2024

“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.

Marcus August 2022

“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.

- Marcus, August 2022

“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.”

- Andrew, November 2021

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

Many thanks for your feedback, although we were concerned to read that the property was not satisfactorily presented prior to your arrival. As you will appreciate, we work very hard with our owners and housekeepers to ensure high standards of cleanliness are maintained, so it is very disappointing to read these comments. Your feedback has been passed on to the housekeeper/cleaner concerned. Please know that if you had informed us of any issues you may have had, we would have done our best to rectify them as soon as possible. We are glad you enjoyed the stunning views this property has to offer. We do hope that we can welcome you back to Salcombe soon. Property Owner
E June 2021

“Great property right in the heart of Salcombe with superb views over the harbour.”

Convenient for all amenities and did not need to use the car at all whilst there. Have stayed here many times now aand look forward to going back later in the year.

- E, June 2021
Marcus May 2021

“Absolutely loved this gorgeous cottage.”

Very central and stunning views. Felt like home from home. Great to have parking too.

- Marcus, May 2021
Matthew May 2021

“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.

- Matthew, May 2021
Sarah April 2021

“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.

- Sarah, April 2021
Kim April 2021

“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.

- Kim, April 2021
Michelle October 2020

“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.

- Michelle, October 2020
Neil October 2020

“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.

- Neil, October 2020
Emma September 2020

“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.)

- Emma, September 2020

“Another very enjoyable stay at 29 Fore Street.”

Everything we wanted right on our doorstep. Hope to be back again soon.

“29 Fore street was a brilliant holiday rental right in the heart of Salcombe.”

Beautifully equipped and nicely furnished. Fab views over the water. We would definitely rent again. Thank you.

- Kathryn, July 2020
Jo October 2019

“Great location at the heart of Salcombe from the front of the house, but once you close the front door you turn to views estuary.”

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.

- Jo, October 2019
E September 2019

“We have stayed at this property a number of times, this holiday being the second there this year.”

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.

- E, September 2019
Thomas July 2019

“We had a lovely stay at 29 Fore Street.”

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! The property also has an added bonus of a private, secure parking space. Everything we needed for a summer holiday – We’re sure to be back again soon!

- Thomas, July 2019
E June 2019

“The property is located in the heart of Salcombe with fabulous views over the water, plenty going on.”

Has the added benefit of a parking space. Hope to be back again next year. We both just love Salcombe. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, we still enjoyed our stay, didn’t want to come home. Roll on next year.

- E, June 2019
David May 2019

“Excellent location with great views.”

A coffee table or nest of tables in the lounge would be useful. I think it would benefit having stairgates if young children are staying.

- David, May 2019
Michael April 2019

“There was no Seagull proof bag.”

The instructions on where to park the car were not clear.

- Michael, April 2019
David March 2019

“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.

- David, March 2019
Lucie March 2019

“We had an absolutely fantastic short stay at 29 Fore St.”

small but perfectly formed for our little family but a huge and fantastic view from the lounge, deck and bedrooms. My son spent ages on the top bunk watching the boats! We’ll certainly be back. Thanks

“Lovely property.”

In case it's not clear on the website, there's a bedroom on the lower ground floor with a bathroom. Lounge / dining on the first (street level) floor with cloaks, and bunk room and double bedroom on the first floor with another bathroom. Super property with a big balcony and a secure parking space.

“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.

- , Oct 2015

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

“Excellent location and lovely house, with beautiful views.”

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.
