Guests that stayed at this property said
Several reviews mention issues with cleanliness, including unclean kitchenware, stained carpets, and dirty bathrooms. The need for a deep clean and better maintenance is highlighted, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The location is consistently praised for its proximity to Salcombe centre and harbour, with amazing views from the property. Guests find it convenient and ideal for exploring the town and enjoying the scenery.
Comfort receives mixed reviews; some guests find the beds too soft and the furnishings dated, while others appreciate the comfort provided. The quality of mattresses and seating is noted as an area that could be enhanced.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, but there are comments about the need for better maintenance, such as replacing pots and pans, and sharper knives. Some facilities like showers are described as lacking power, and the decor is considered tired by some guests.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip?

We have had a lovely holiday. However,I would like to point out that the mattress in the smaller double bedroom is extremely uncomfortable and really does need to be replaced.

The beds are soooo comfortable , I have remarked that a larger freezer would be welcomed . The sofas have been recovered but they do need the base to be given firmer cushions . The balcony âglassâ isnât cleaned , finger marks all along , same as last year , appreciated the upgrade in the shower and toilets.

This did not in any way impact our stay but thought you would like to know. The kitchen could benefit from a cafetiere. The house was in a great location and the views were stunning.
