Parking space a bonus, not easy to get in or out of depending on residents or size of car. Not sure this was clear in the listing details. Had a great stay Salcombe is beautiful and the flat had everything you needed and more.
Pam
We particularly enjoyed the upper balcony in the morning sunshine and it also shelters from wind and rain, depending on direction, of course. The flat is tastefully furnished, comfortable and well-equipped with good quality appliances, crockery etc. as well as comfortable sofas and beds. Good to have control of the heating too. The parking space itself is a real bonus and is easily large enough for our estate car, although care needed getting in and out. The flat is a great base for accessing Salcombeâs beaches and also walking both Bolt Head and Bolt Tail and further afield Hope Cove etc. Be prepared for the uphill walk back from town.
Timothy
The property is easy to locate, including accessing the key on arrival. The views are incredible and access to the town is very convenient. We did have an issue with the balcony door which we raised with the office and they swiftly came back with next steps. Would certainly recommended the property for anyone with 4 person to stay here.
