Guests say

Quay Cottage in Salcombe is highly praised for its comfort, excellent kitchen facilities, and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. Its central location is ideal, though parking can be challenging during peak season. The cottage is snug, with a particularly small bathroom, but it's well-appointed and the beds are super comfortable. Some noise from the street is noted in the mornings.

There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.

The cottage's location is described as central and ideal, which suggests guests are very pleased with where it is situated. However, concerns about parking, especially during high season, prevent a perfect score.

Guests find the beds super comfortable and the cottage cosy, although the snug size, particularly of the bathroom, is mentioned as a minor inconvenience.

The cottage is commended for its great amenities, quality fittings, and excellent kitchen facilities. However, the mention of limited toilet paper suggests room for improvement in maintenance.

The welcome pack and card are appreciated, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. While gifts are mentioned, it should be noted that such personal touches are not guaranteed.

    The unexpected welcome gift was appreciated. As a couple we would definitely book again.

  • Leanne

    We have stayed on Island Street many times and we’d definitely book this one again, it’s a super location. Great kitchen facilities, much better than many we’ve stayed in and super attention to detail throughout. It can be noisy in the mornings as it’s right on the street but that’s to be expected. Also, we’re aren’t tall people and found the bathroom beautifully done but very snug! Overall another lovely week in Salcombe in a really nicely appointed house. Thankyou!

  • Zoe

    Super comfortable beds and a lovely cottage in a perfect location. Might be worth noting the bathroom is very tight. I’m 5’9 and had to sit sidewards on the loo! All super tho so just nit picking one small thing out of perfection! Lovely touches when we arrived and love the bag! Thanks so much, we shall return!
