Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with several guests noting the property is clean and well-maintained. However, a few remarks about stained carpets and dirty windows slightly affect the score.
The location is highly praised for its convenience and the spectacular views it offers. Proximity to shops, pubs, and restaurants in Salcombe is a consistent positive across reviews.
Comfort is well-regarded, especially with the recent bathroom improvements and the property's spaciousness. However, some guests mention uncomfortable beds and inadequate heating, which impacts the comfort score.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and modern amenities. However, recurring issues with the patio door locking mechanism, parking difficulties, and some dated furnishings lower the score.
While some guests appreciated the welcome pack, there is insufficient information to determine a consistent level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, this score is set to null.

I also think time for a kitchen upgrade,induction hob and a new extractor as it doesnât work.The apartment was lovely and clean and the lounge is very comfortable,we do worry about the dining table as the leaves are very wobbly.A lovely glass table would be a great addition and feel safer when you are eating.The view is beautiful and so close to town.Excellent stay .

The property was clean but maintenance not the best. The gas hob igniter didn't work and reading the visitor book, guests complained about it two years ago. The extractor fan would only work if you help the button which was a nuisance. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and the mattress in the king size bed did not fit the frame properly so you had to be careful getting in and out of it. Lovely apartment, but needs some investment. You are paying for the fabulous views.
