Completely unacceptable to have to wait for 'extra cleaning' when this had obviously not been done. We watched the cleaner for 45 mins as he was there with us until 5.45pm. Livid. Very lacklustre mopping of SOME of the floor. Kichen floor still filthy. No mopping of sitting room to speak of. You used to be brilliant as Coast & Country - since Sykes took over it's a disaster. Two years running I've had to complain re cleanliness..when are you going to get your act together?? Employ more cleaners!!!! It's not that you don't charge enough......a complete rip off now that we lose the first day of our holiday! Bedding still disgusting under the sheets - for God's sake wash the damned pillows between lets! Spent half my week cleaning- I would've thought over £700 a week could pay for a decent clean. Furious (again). Please pass this on to the owner or I will contact them direct.

Sadly the service from Sykes did not. It took several attempts to call, waits of over half an hour on hold ( gave up twice) to report non working WiFi. There was no further communication from Sykes other than to advise this was a BT fault - it was eventually fixed the day we left! We appreciate this was not Sykes or the owners fault, but the difficulties of trying to communicate were very unhelpful. It cannot be hard to have sufficient staff to answer customer calls promptly.

I expected that to have been fixed but it wasn't so we had to clean our teeth in the bedroom or the kitchen! The settee in the lounge is not that comfortable and if you sit on a chair they are wicker conservatory type so they so become uncomfortable quite quickly. The fitted sheet on the bed was far too small and so came off every night despite our best efforts to prevent this. This just made the bed uncomfortable to sleep in. A small coffee table in the center of the lounge would be useful. The noise outside the bedroom of an evening can be quite loud and go on well into the early hours at the weekend. The owners have put really good double glazed windows in which just about shut out all of this, which is great, unless it's warm and you like a window open when you sleep! As I said though, these are quite minor things easily rectified (apart from the noise) and did not detract from a brilliant week in Salcombe. You'll not find a better located flat with a short stay carpark right outside which is great for unloading and loading.
