What our customers say about their holidays

  We have been staying in The Salcombe for over 10 years and love it.

  The swimming pool and boat mooring are unique in The Salcombe. Last year we met the owners of number 32 in the swimming pool who seemed lovely and told us they had just bought number 32 and would be renovating it. We booked to stay there for the following May half term (last week). The apartment was beautifully decorated. Ordinarily we stay in a 2 bedroom apartment and had some reservations about this being a one bedroom but we didn’t need to have. The sofa bed was very comfortable, as were the single beds that our children slept on and there was ample storage in the bedroom and hall drawers for a family of 4’s clothes, bags and beach items (we bought a lot of clothes/items for the week and I like everything to be put away and tidy!) The bathroom was perfect - very modern with a large heated radiator to dry our beachwear. The kitchen was very well equipped, and best of all the fridge was big enough for a family of 4. Nice touches such as both a large cafetière but also one for an individual person, which I liked being the only coffee drinker. The only additional thing I would have liked would have been some storage in a cupboard for food. We ate out 4 times but still there wasn’t space in the cupboards to store snacks and non-fridge food. Small point as everything else was perfect. It is a beautiful and well thought out apartment, with wonderful views - perfect for a relaxing holiday.

  Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful apartment.

  The location is the best in the world! My father & I sailed in the Club Regatta for many years in the 70’s & 80’s & often used The Salcombe as our base. This was the first year we have come to the Town Regatta and the positioning to watch the fireworks was the best we could have asked for. We even joined in the light extravaganza & put LED lights on the balcony. The apartment is perfectly situated & presented with all the accoutrements necessary for a perfect stay. We wanted for nothing as it was so well equipped. 3 small points which could be considered: 1. Recommend double or triple glazing on the Fore Street side (or suggest ear plugs to guests) as the noise from people on the street was not compatible with sleep until after approx 2am 2. Both my father & I found the sofas rather messed with our backs as were low and soft. 3. To cater for 6 (we only had 4) the fridge could do with being a tad bigger as you can’t get 2 litres of milk in there without using up half the fridge space. (These are not meant as criticisms as we managed ok but more ideas to make it 10/10) The apartment was truly delightful and we enjoyed our stay immensely. You have wonderful taste! Thank you

  We had a wonderful week at Eddystone Row.

  Two families with children aged between 5 and 14. Space, facilities and location of the property were perfect with the added bonus of the weather for the end of October/start of November being much better than expected. The kitchen has clearly been equipped by someone who cooks and we didn’t find ourselves needing anything when we cooked at home. Beds were comfy, as were the sofas for lounging about in the evenings and the split levels of the house meant we never felt on top of each other and the children were able to spread out doing their individual things. Salcombe delivered as always. We enjoyed long walks to south sands, lunch at the winking prawn, dinner at Dick and Wills and the Crab Shed and a couple of lazy afternoons in the distillery bar!!! Our only suggestion would be to consider if a parking permit could be provided for a second car as in low season the road was full of spaces we couldn’t use. Will definitely consider this property when we come to salcombe again.

  We had a wonderful stay at Edinburgh House.

  The views are breathtaking, and the various seating options, inside & out, to enjoy them were fantastic. We have never stayed anywhere where the kitchen has everything you could possibly need and more. Seating in the lounge area was really comfy with blankets provided which made the colder evenings cosy. The main bedroom is huge, plenty of storage for clothes but we weren't comfortable in the bed. We feel this was due to a lot of give in the mattress and in some places we could feel the springs. We only used the rain shower upstairs and it was fantastic with plenty of water pressure. It was lovely to have such a huge selection of books as well as dvds & games. The only other improvement we can think of, apart from a change of mattress, is a smart tv.

  The cottage is suffering from damp.

  The lower entrance smells musty and the walls are wet making the paint rub off and stain clothing and luggage. There is plaster and paint flaking off the ceiling in the living room, falling on to the sofas. The bathroom toilets are not sturdy. The toilette brush in the lower bathroom was disgusting with faecis sitting in the holder it is a health hazard. The overall cleanliness is the worst we have ever had in a property in Salcombe (visiting for 15 years). It’s so grubby, dust and filth everywhere (under the double bed was particularly disgusting). The washing machine took 16 hours to drain and did not spin the clothes we tried to wash, we had to manually reset the machine to retrieve our clothes. We are very unhappy with the property.
