Guests say

Guests have praised the apartment's superb location, impressive views, and the bonus of a pool. The property is described as clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with a special mention of the nautical-themed decor. However, some guests faced challenges with accessibility due to stairs and the absence of a lift, and there were occasional comments on maintenance and cleanliness issues.

Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the apartment to be very clean, while others reported issues with dirty washing left behind and the need to clean kitchenware upon arrival. The variance in experiences suggests room for improvement.

The location is consistently praised for being in the heart of Salcombe with amazing views and proximity to the main quay. Despite some concerns about parking and accessibility, the location is a standout feature.

The apartment is generally found to be comfortable with home comforts and a welcoming atmosphere. However, some guests mentioned steep steps and difficulty with the shower, indicating that comfort could be enhanced for those with mobility issues.

Facilities like the well-equipped kitchen and pool are appreciated, but several guests reported maintenance issues such as an ancient shower unit, lack of signage, and noise from refurbishments. These detract from the overall experience.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess this category.

About this property

Resting on the coastline of Salcombe in Devon overlooking the harbour is Apartment 24. This fabulous first-floor apartment offers spectacular views across Salcombe Harbour, with a sleek, open-plan interior inspired by the design of a luxury yacht to make the best use of available space. Apartment 24’s fabulous facilities include a shared outdoor swimming pool and allocated parking – a rarity in this bustling town – together with its own pontoon mooring, bistro restaurant and fully equipped laundry room. Communal facilities include an elegant reception, ladies and gents’ washrooms and a further shower room off the entrance to the garden/swimming pool area – all making the perfect setting for an exclusive waterside retreat. Entering the apartment, you will not only be impressed with the fabulous design of the stylish interior, including the fully equipped kitchen, but the harbour views visible from every window are truly spectacular. Dining in Apartment 24 is another wonderful experience, as you can open the French doors to breathe in the sea air before heading downstairs to enjoy a stroll in the luscious subtropical gardens as the sun sets over the harbour. When the sky darkens, get some much-needed rest and relaxation in the king-size bedroom furnished with a TV, perfect for lazy mornings, and serviced by a handy en-suite bathroom. The spacious, fully fitted bedroom also affords glorious views over the water. Apartment 24 lies in the heart of Salcombe in the South Devon AONB just paces away from shops to help ease your self-catered stay and pubs and bars including Dick and Willis, The Ferry Inn, and The Victoria Inn where you can enjoy delicious food and a variety of drinks on date night. During the day head to Salcombe Maritime Museum or soak up the sun by spending the day at Salcombe’s North or South Sands, no trip to the coast would be complete without ice cream or experiencing local produce at the Crab Shed. Take the ferry – which can be accessed directly from the garden - across the harbour to East Portlemouth or go further afield to Northsands, Southsands and even the market town of Kingsbridge. The apartment lies a short drive from Dartmoor Zoo which houses a variety of big cats and a conservation centre, while here head on to Dartmoor National Park. Traverse its 900 plus square kilometres of wild, open moorlands with history and a wealth of activities woven throughout; there are a variety of hiking, cycling, and climbing opportunities as well as chances to spot local wildlife. Unlock the wonders of Devon at Apartment 24.

Salcombe, once a major port, is now a popular holiday destination for hikers and families seeking a coastal getaway. North Sands and South Sands are two beautiful beaches not far away, and further on you can visit the National Trust-owned Overbeck's and stroll through its subtropical gardens. Why not have a more exciting day by participating in one of the many water activities that can be found on the estuary? Enjoy the fresh seafood served at many of Salcombe's restaurants, bars, cafes, and delicatessens during your stay. Several sandy beaches, charming villages with thatched cottages, and excellent walking opportunities, including the South West Coast Path, can be found at the very tip of Devon, which is known for its breath-taking scenery and picturesque vistas.

    Apartment was not as clean as it could be, but that is nit picking….., we had to wash the cups and glasses before using them. Windows and frames etc need a clean. Need to advise guests to bring their own chairs/lounges for the garden/pool.

  • Elizabeth

    Amazing views as well. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

  • Chris

    Well equipped and the leather sofas bespoke for a perfect fit. Nautical theme throughout, loved the sailing yacht above the bed. Lugging of our baggage was a bind from the lower car park was made easier using the street entrance.( no lift to second floor) However, the 12ins step between levels in the appt. Made things awkward for my wife, recovering from a hip operation. I just can't understand why the owner hasn't installed a secondary step or a grab handle on the wall. Beware of the loud noises from the appts. above when they move and drag their terrace furniture on the balconies above.Very annoying.
