  The property could do with some modernization and polish.

  There were numerous cracks in the plaster, including a large one in the bedroom ceiling. The repair which had been done on previous damage to the bedroom ceiling also looked poorly finished. The paintwork around the property was also poorly finished in places, including paint on door handles and light fixtures. The extractor fan in the bathroom was also pretty well clogged with dirt and dust, and rust was visible around the edges of the mirror too. These may seem like minor issues, but combined it makes the property feel tired and old. The garden could have done with some grass in it too, as opposed to the stone chippings, I understand this is a personal preference, however, with the property welcoming dogs, grass is certainly more welcome to them. While I appreciate nothing can be done about the parking situation, it should be made very clear in the listing about the angle of the slope. With an older car like ours, we struggled to safely park, putting stress on the handbrake and running high on the clutch. We had to put bricks under the wheels, to stop the car slipping down the slope. This could be dangerous if people are trying to unload the car and the vehicle starts to slip. There was not much storage space for our food, so we left it out on the countertop, however, should the property be renovated I'm sure this is something that could be addressed. The house is in a really good location, with a great outlook too.

  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.

  Sadly the house was dirty, dusty, dated, basic & overall unloved.

  Unsure when the property was last cleaned as the dust was thick, the number of bugs in the bathroom light was disgusting & the spider webs in every corner of ever room looked well established. The cleaner had left a cloth on one of the beds which was well dry so guessing it’s been a while. Also the bedsheets were dirty! The house is tired, clearly the owners don’t care about it & have done nothing to it since they came into ownership of it. It is dated & basic. The TV doesn’t work, there is no DVD player as advertised and no sound system. The properties either side of 2 Rockmount are stunning, which makes this house look even worse! The access via stairs isn’t bad, but the over grown bushes which hang over the steps at the back & the front of the property are! This house hasn’t seen TLC for a long time. I reported the TV not working on our 1st day & my concerns regarding the property’s hygiene etc, no one got back to me! Overall, I would not recommend this property to anyone!

  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.

  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.
