What our customers say about their holidays

  It is the location and unbeatable views that sell this apartment.

  However the owners have ignored the comments made in their visitors book for the last 3 years, regarding required updates and improvements: The 2 bedrooms need daytime privacy blinds, since other residents can walk right past these windows and see inside. We had to keep the curtains closed throughout our stay, giving a gloomy feel to the apartment. At night the outside security lights shine into both bedrooms, lighting up the rooms! Blackout curtains are required. The second bedroom en-suite bathroom has only a hand shower attachment, from the bath taps. We were a party of 4 adults so ended up all sharing the first bedroom en-suite shower. Both bathrooms need updating, with heated towel rails as there is nowhere to dry towels. The hallway needs a row of coat hooks for outside clothing. The balcony is the main selling point of this apartment, but the furniture on it is old and falling apart. The table wobbles and is unsteady. The apartment sleeps 4 but there are only 2 sun loungers provided. For visitors with 2 cars, it needs to be made clear that only a small car will fit in the garage. Fortunately one of our cars was a mini, but a larger car would not be able to open the drivers’ door. Overall, this apartment is tired and crying out for refurbishment of all rooms and new furniture, if the owners expect repeat bookings.

  The location of the property is convenient for Salcombe and it’s wonderful shops, pubs and restaurants.

  The views of the estuary and beaches from the apartment are stunning. The facilities are good and well maintained. The main bedroom is spacious and the bathroom adequate. We did eat in one night and the cooking facility was good. The parking is very difficult with a medium car the area in front of the garage is narrow with two pillars in front. We visited in mid January and temperatures outside were sub zero at night and only 5C during the day. Consequently we found the heating of the property inadequate. It was uncomfortable to sit in the lounge after eating out in the local pubs. The radiators worked ok but the draft from the patio doors defeated the heating.

  2 Poundstone Court is a great apartment, in a convenient location with stunning views from a long balcony that gets sunshine until late in the afternoon.

    The bedrooms are large and airy, with one having a good sized en-suite bathroom with shower over the bath and the other an en-suite shower and toilet.   The kitchen is small but well equipped but could be improved with decent coffee making facilities. We needed 2 car parking spaces which this property is advertised as having but the one in the garage was unusable unless it was for a very small car as there was a long bench with tools sticking out making parking impossible.  Fortunately we were out of season, so could find parking on nearby roads for one car without too much trouble. In high season that could prove tricky and expensive.

  The apartment is as we remember it from the last time we stayed there.

  It’s location is ideal for us and in general terms delivered well , but .... there were a number of niggles which proved irritating and should have been dealt with at a pre check stage before we moved in. 1. The plug in one of the bathroom sinks was jammed in and after removing it the plumber was unable to refix this for the whole time we were there 2 The dishwasher after one run broke down and had to be repaired by someone coming round 3 not able to use the oven on the first night and someone had to come round to reset the clock to manual.. not clearly explained in any instructions

  Fabulous improvement to both bathrooms.

  Apartment very clean. The welcome pack was a great addition. However for improvements: 1. Please refine instruction regards key safe, “ The keys can be found in a key safe, which is located in the blue/grey Louvre cupboard to the left of the front door, just past the window.” 2. The large patio door ( right hand side near tv) requires URGENT repair or replacement. Last year it was off the runners and difficult to use and this year appeared worse and the handle was falling off. It was impossible to use. Other than that, views to die for and perfect weather.
