"We told the agent about issues with the property on day one."
Infestation of ants in the kitchen, alarm going off in kitchen every time oven is opened, salt light on in dishwasher, door to our bedroom does not shut , grass clippings on lawn. They sent someone to fix things but they obviously didn’t so we asked for a second call out when some things were fixed. I had a lot of problems contacting Sykes before we arrived to request a stair gate which information said was available. You cannot talk to anyone on the phone only by message. I waited an hour for an agent to reply and nothing so I gave up. Eventually the agent who manages the property replied and we found a stair gate at the property. The house is great for a big family holiday but the maintenance issues and the poor customer service downgraded the experience.

This property is part of the Coast & Country Cottages collection.
Choose from over 400 properties in Salcombe, Dartmouth and the surrounding South Devon coast and countryside - the perfect destination for a holiday all year round.

Where you’ll be staying
DARTMOUTH
Totnes 12 miles.
Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
