  A lovely house, which we've stayed in several times before.

  However, on this occasion we felt let down by the standards we have come to expect from your company. Despite being told upon collection of the key that there may still be a 'checker' at the property, upon arrival we found a mouldy loaf of bread in the bread bin. Although switched on, the fridge temperature gauge was set to zero. We only realised this the following day, luckily, the 100 pounds worth of shopping we purchased the day before wasn't ruined ! We fail to understand why the fridge would be turned off, especially as we were told that the 'checker' would be checking that everything was switched on and working ready for our stay. There were issues in the bathroom this time - the toilet flusher was not working properly, and the bath panel was loose and kept falling off. The back door lock also needs some attention. We were a bit surprised when we received our 'reminder' email (one week before our stay) that it mentioned the need for a "Good Housekeeping Bond" of £200. There was no previous mention of this when we made our booking, although neither was it mentioned when we collected our key ! As mentioned, this is a lovely house we normally enjoy staying in, however, although these are only small issues, they did detract from the enjoyment of our holiday.

  We had a fabulous stay at 3 ocean reach.

  Having read a couple of previous negative reviews regarding the cleanliness of the property I rang Sykes cottages and spoke to a very helpful gentleman who assured me that I could call him when we arrived if there was anything at all of concern or if we found the cleanliness below standard. We found the cottage to be pretty spotless and extremely comfortable and well equipped. In fact I would say it was one of the most comfortable and clean holiday lets we have ever stayed in (and at our time of life we have stayed in a lot). The real joy of this place is the position. The views are truly spectacular, particularly from the main bedroom. The food at the on site restaurant was fantastic and the welcome very warm. They are happy for you to just have drinks too. This place absolutely perfect for walkers, (our dog was particularly happy). We walked into the lovely bustling Hope cove and in the opposite direction to the beautiful Soar mill cove. You are very central here for driving into Salcombe and the lovely North and south sands. If you are fitter than us you can walk there via the coast path. We really loved this place and would definitely return and a big thank you to the owner and to Sykes cottages for being so helpful and responsive.

  The Poop Deck is an excellent place to stay it is on the outskirts of Dartmouth with a brilliant park and ride service just 3/4 of a mile up the road. Norton Park is beautifully quiet and peaceful with fabulous views and outstanding sunsets. The chalet itself is wonderfully appointed, modern fresh and clean. Supplies of coffee tea milk sugar and yummy biscuits are very welcome on arrival after a long journey like ours. The beds are comfortable and quiet conducive to a good nights sleep. There is a very good Wi-Fi connection, the ability to watch streaming services on the tv as well as a small supply of DVD’s and a couple of games if the weather turns poor or for the quiet nights in. The kitchen is very well equipped and the dishwasher was a joy giving us all a welcome break from the washing up. I think one of the very best things in this property is the folder we found on arrival on the coffee table, it is an absolute gold mine of information not just about the property itself but about local attractions and the best ways to access them, local travel links and even which restaurants are good in Dartmouth. I would totally recommend this property for a peaceful getaway from it all holiday, we enjoyed it immensely.

  So...

  .let's start with "dog friendly garden." This is only true if your dog is crossed with a mountain goat. Both grassed areas are a 45 deg slope, and not really conducive to your dog having a comfortable "squat" without the risk of it tumbling down the slope. My dog refused to even walk on the grass. It's also not fully enclosed if your dog is medium sized or smaller. There are gaps under the fence, and in the hedges. I had only been there an hour and my dog was in next doors garden through a hole in the hedge. Now onto the house. It is practical for everything you might need. Kitchen is excellent. Beds comfy. The key word is practical. It's also a bit soulless. It was also very dusty! Backs of sofas, bases of light fittings, top of the telly. However, despite those niggles, we had a great week, and made the best of the decked area in the garden. The weather was good, and the Victoria Inn in Salcombe is truly amazing! Well worth the walk back up the hill from town (which isn't nearly as bad as some would have you believe.) I would come back to Salcombe again, I'd use Coast and Country again, I just wouldn't stay in Miloran again. It was a good house in places..just not enough of the right places for me.

  This is a fantastic property. It is very clean, light and airy. Everything you could possibly need is in there. The two ladies who own the property are lovely and very thoughtful and considerate. The location is very good - I took my car to the Park and Ride every day and took the bus to The Pontoon in Dartmouth. From there I was able to catch a ferry over to Kingswear, walk to the castle, visit Agatha Christie's 'holiday home', go on The Steam Railway and walk the South West Coastal Path - all excellent.
