  On arrival the owner had switched off the heating system and the property was freezing.

  Had to go to bed fully clothed including coat. We didn't arrive untill 9.30 so we're unable to sort this. This was fixed the following day. Also knowing we were arriving late it would of been nice to have been left some milk. Every time we have rented a property from sykes and on other sites also there is normally a lovely welcome pack of goodies. There was nothing. The local shops in the area closed very early and we searched high and low for some milk and were unable to get any. Unfortunately we left ours behind. The garden was advertised as dog proof and very safe. I do understand that sykes takes no responsibility of this statement and that is fine. The garden was not safe or secure and our dog got out and this distressed us beyond belief. We rented this specific property as it stated how secure the garden was and how dog friendly it was. No dog treats or bowls etc either. The enclosed garden space and sun room looks like it was attached to the main house when in fact it is down a very steep unsecure path. We then spent the entire week on high alert the dogs are going to get out and had to have them on leads in the garden. Having said all that the property was lovely, very clean and tidy and was in a fantastic area. We would reccomend to friends who do not have dogs. I've never complained before and do not expect the world but for us this is a basic requirement. Having spent £1000 for 1 week out of season a 50 pence carton of milk and some biscuits really would of gone a long way.

  Unfortunately Lanapoule is quite tired and would really benefit from redecoration and in general a freshen up especially for the high level of rent charged.

  There was no welcome pack on arrival which we were quite surprised by as we have in the past received generous welcome packs when we have paid much much less to stay at other holiday properties. But what we really didn’t expect was to be left with no hot water by the second morning of our stay because the owner seemingly didn’t set it to come on. In the process we wasted a morning of our holiday waiting in for a gas engineer which never needed to happen. Then at 8am on the Wednesday of our stay we were woken up by some strange scraping noises which we thought was coming from the flat immediately below Lanapoule and on further investigation it was the window cleaner. Total lack of courtesy on the part of the owner not to let us know and even more ignorant to allow the window cleaner to call so early. Better still arrange this on changeover days or when the property is unoccupied. On the few positives there was onsite parking and our bed was very comfortable. However taking into account Lanapoule’s ‘top of the hill’ location in relation to Salcombe town centre and that it can sleep 6+ guests, as advertised, it was no where near worth the £1400 we paid for a week in early June. That said we shall not ever consider a return to Lanapoule at anytime in the future..

  The property was as described.

  The parking has been mentioned before, and yes it is tight for a large car, but at least the property has parking, so that is a bonus, plus there is nothing the owner can possibly do about that. The property could do with having the sofas both replaced as they are both INCREDIBLY uncomfortable, this has been a problem that has been mentioned before, but obviously nothing has been done about it, I would highly recommend the owner looks into that as the only comfortable seating in the lounge is the recliner seat. The apartment was clean apart from the towel radiators in both bathrooms, which had definitely not had any attention for quite sometime, but I did mention this to Mark when he had to come up to replace the fire alarm battery on our second day, so hopefully this has now been rectified. Basically the apartment is clean although could do with some tlc, and some storage space in the kitchen as we had to keep all of our food etc on the kitchen counter, which for 2 people is doable, but not for a family. The real feather in this apartment's cap is the wonderful views from the balcony, they are beautiful, and Salcombe is any easy walk on the Cliff Road.

  This a beautiful property that is warm, comfortable and well equipped. The views are lovely and it’s great to be so central to town and all its amenities. It was a treat to have The White Company products in the bathroom, and we loved the electric fireplace and cosy blankets - great for an October visit! It would have been the cherry on the cake to have a welcome pack with a some milk/essentials on arrival. We had a lovely few days there and enjoyed visiting Hope Cove, took the foot ferry to Mill Bay and walked along to Gara Rock - a lovely 3/4 mile walk. Also did a (hilly!) 5 mile run to Snapes Point, with nice views. Visited Burgh Island, Bigbury Beach, Bantham Beach and South Milton Sands - all well worth a visit! Went to The Victoria Inn for a good meal (you do need to book as it does get busy) and of course fish and chips! It can get a little noisy with the pub, upstairs guests and bin men, but that aside it was a lovely restful break! Thank you!

  Overall we were very happy with our stay at the property.

  Just a few issues the owner may want to consider addressing. 1. Issue regards parking on driveway needs to be addressed more. Had a neighbour come round after a day or so to tell me to move our car onto the driveway. His manner was not good . The driveway entrance needs to be looked at. Firstly the kerb needs lowering. My car with 5 passenger's in was bottoming out when either drove in or out. In other words the the sills of the car were scraping on the kerb which has caused damage to my car. Driveway needs widening.... Not a lot of room width wise. Also bathroom shower curtain needs replacing. If you are not careful water can easily get on bathroom floor causing a leak in to kitchen below. Finally better instruction's need to be provided for kitchen appliances. Eg . Cooker, washing machine and drier. Also TV in living room as well. TV doesn't seem to have Freeview installed? Sorry to be picky....But have been asked to give feedback.
