Guests say

Prospects in Salcombe offers stunning views, a great location, and is well-equipped, particularly for families with young children. Guests appreciate the spaciousness, modern decor, and the large balcony. While some guests mention issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the property's amenities and location often lead to repeat visits.

Several reviews mention cleanliness issues such as dust, mould, and unclean kitchenware. However, some guests found the property clean, indicating inconsistency in cleaning standards.

The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to the town centre and its stunning views, despite the steep hill and steps mentioned by some guests.

Guests find the property comfortable, with cosy furnishings and a homely feel. Some concerns about dampness and draughts in certain rooms slightly affect the comfort score.

The property is well-equipped, especially for children, and offers a large balcony and modern amenities. However, reports of broken appliances, non-working radiators, and maintenance issues lower the score.

While guests appreciate the child-friendly equipment and the property's overall setup, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

    Apart from that we has a nice stay and the rest of the property is lovely.

  • Sarah

    The linens were clean. However it is very tired and lacks a personal touch, it has very clearly been rented for a long time. The sofa needs cleaning. We paid a reduced last minute price, I would not of been happy paying the full price.

  • John

    The outdoor space is very good, the property was very clean throughout. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. The bonus of a full size parking space should not be underestimated in Salcombe. The property is located within easy reach of all local amenities. If we had one improvement it would be to upgrade the TV to a modern SMART TV to allow greater access to TV apps. We would rebook for next year but we have seen that the property is up for sale and this has put us off.
