The views, as everyone says, are the best in Salcombe, the apartment is spacious, light, clean and well equipped, and it feels cosy and comfortable rather than just a holiday property. The walk into town is easy (and downhill) and although the parking is tight (the garage is quite narrow) we fitted one small car into the garage and a Range Rover in the car port. The utility room is huge with practical things like drying racks and a heated towel rail and there is plenty of useful storage all through the apartment. The beds and furniture are all top quality. It seems unusual not to have any cleaning products supplied to help keep the property clean, the kitchen tap drips, there are no scissors in the kitchen and the shower tray in the shower room is inclined to overflow, but these are small niggles compared to the overall high standard of the apartment. We had a couple of issues which were our fault while we were there but C&C dealt with those very quickly and professionally. This really is a beautiful and lovely place to stay - we will certainly be booking again and hope to be as lucky with the weather as we were on this trip.
