What our customers say about their holidays

  The property was adequate, we were a party of two.

  Although the property can accommodate 4 people it would be tight especially when accessing bathroom and toilet facilities. It is ideal for 2 persons. There were a few little niggles, broken outdoor security light, wall utility light still not working, shower light not working and the cooker hob left in ‘locked’ mode. We did question amongst ourselves what responsibility the letting agents have in actively monitoring equipment and checking any outages during the handover period. We got the distinct impression that the letting agents were very much reactive while clients have to be proactive. Some foodstuffs were left in the cupboard we certainly would have not used them. Personally, I think all foodstuffs left by clients must be removed by the letting agents. How old the half bottle of tomato ketchup was who knows? Allowing foodstuffs to be re-used is against Food Hygiene Regulations and unquestionably undesirable during a Covid-19 pandemic. However, these ‘little niggles’ did not detract from what was an enjoyable week. We essentially used it as a ‘bolt-hole’ and ate out every night. It was clean we did not experience any obnoxious smells. The dedicated parking space was a bonus, as parking in Salcombe is always difficult. The equipment was extensive, it would have been useful if the hair dryer had been listed along with the folding deckchairs, as we travelled with these items. The view from the garden was delightful looking over the rolling hills of South Devon. The garden was reasonably well maintained and had a good level of privacy. The town centre is about ½ mile from the property and there some steep inclines, no problem for ourselves, but could be an issue for potential clients.

  Positives: great location, really useful having a parking space, a well-equipped kitchen, very good walk-in shower, and a lovely garden with an amazing view.

  Friendly owner who provided some local tips eg nearby outdoor pool and helpful short-cut to the closest beach. Problems: As per a previous review, flat needs to be cleaned better, there was a lot of dust and cobwebs in corners, and smell of damp. Bedrooms are very small with old doors that do not fit well, and the double bedroom has a cupboard so close to the door that it is difficult to enter the room (especially with a suitcase). The toilet-roll holder in the bathroom is precariously attached to the wall with a sucker. Owner forgot to tell us that the washing machine - advertised in the listing - was out of action and in the process of being replaced, we only realised when we were about to use it. Cleaner had left dirty towels in the disconnected machine as well. We had to ring the owner to find out what was going on, and he promised the new machine would be fitted two days before our departure, but then rang to say plumber had cancelled. He informed us about another washing machine in the property upstairs - it would have been better to tell us about all of this at the start of our stay. Please note that the owner needs to amend his email address in the information booklet in the flat (correct address ends with .co.uk, not .com). All in all, while the location is excellent, the flat is a bit overpriced for the condition it's in.

  This apartment is advertised as "sleeps 4" but the tiny living room was hardly big enough for my husband, me & our medium sized dog.

  It was the smallest living room I have seen. The Venetian blinds did not work properly, they were very old and there were no curtains. The place was soulless & it was not a pleasant experience. We had to move things to sit at the small table as it was crammed in under the window. The room between shower & wall was so narrow that you were in danger of getting burnt on the towel rail. Shower tiny & anyone tall or not thin would have a difficult time. Blind in bedroom had to be continually closed due to people walking down the side from the flat above. Wardrobe legs missing on one side and had something attached underneath so it would stand. Bathroom & kitchen smelt musty. Gate fastened with rope. No ambiance, no comfort. Would not recommend.

  Thank you so much for yet another fabulous stay! Windward is deserving of a 5/5 rating. It really is the best of both - your own apartment with lots of lovely space for relaxing, cooking and dining while also feeling like you're staying in the South Sands Hotel with access to the restaurant and bar - both of which are fantastic. The easy access to the beach is brilliant if you have dogs or like to swim/paddle board. The handy porch with radiator was brilliant for getting stuff dry without messing up the apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed the covered balcony - perfect for a winter break as we sat out most mornings with our coffee watching the waves. Would really recommend Windward and hope to stay again soon.

  Says there is a freezer there wasn't.

  Had done a food shop for the week. We had stayed here on 2 other occasions won't be staying again. No gate to the road definitely not dog safe. Bed not comfortable. Battery gone in remotes (I replaced them last time I was there) batteries going in the smoke alarm- no battery to replace. The shower screen has been replaced with a curtain this sticks to you. Not pleasant seen as it will stick to everyone's body. There is a cobweb in the same place in the fake flowers that was there 2 years ago. Not sure how often the place is cleaned as there were more cobwebs than walls in some areas.
