About this property
Resting on the outskirts of Salcombe, a bustling seaside resort in Devon, is 4 St Elmo Court, a wonderful first-floor apartment. Just a stone's throw away from a host of local amenities and the beautiful beaches of Salcombe, whilst enjoying far-reaching views across the shoreline from the private balcony, the apartment welcomes six guests, offering the ideal base for a family escape. Park up in the communal car park before reaching the first floor by stairs or lift, where you'll arrive to the light and airy living/dining room with a Smart TV or shift your focus on the breath-taking views from the balcony. Head into the well-equipped kitchen to prepare tasty meals, before gathering around the dining table, located next to the snug. After a stroll around the communal gardens or a quick dip in the outdoor swimming pool, freshen up in the shower room before retiring to one of three well-presented bedrooms; you'll find a king-size, a king-size with en-suite and a bunk room to choose from. Salcombe offers a variety of attractions for water lovers, foodies and shoppers alike. Treat yourself to the famous Salcombe crab from one of the many eateries in town.

Grab your walking boots for a nature-filled itinerary, touring South Devon AONB, including Salcombe North Sands and Overbeck's Gardens. Once you've benefited from the local amenities, travel further towards the market town of Kingsbridge, where you can browse the town and stroll along the pretty estuary.

Further away is the National Trust property Overbeck's, where you may stroll through the subtropical gardens. Why not spend an exciting day and try out some of the water sports the estuary has to offer, including kayaking, surfing, or a more leisurely boat trip? Take advantage of the locally sourced seafood that is provided in many of the restaurants, bars, cafés, and delicatessens when visiting Salcombe.

no shelf in the shower for products and no grab rail.....my wife is 85 and not too steady on her feet. also the spring operated wash basin plug didnt hold water and the loo flush was difficult to operate. also no spare waste bin liners for bathroom or kitchen bins. re the kitchen , the waste didnt seem to be functional on the sink and the sink itself was a little tired and scratched.having said all that we enjoyed our stay but the four star category you gave this property compared to the 5 star number 9 we stayed in was probably a true reflection of things

Will book again but hope that flat will have been upgraded by then. It is tired looking and smells musty. A bit like a student let is probably the best description with the two bean bags not looking out of place . Presumably they are there for the owners pets, as they certainly donât provide any useful purpose for guests. The settee and cushions need upgrading and probably the carpets as well. With just a little bit of care and attention it could be perfect.

The EV charger information wasn't very clear and contradictory. Apart from these two points, it was a nice apartment, excellent view and great pool!
