“The cottage was idyllic.”

Well equipped and a perfect base for enjoying Salcombe . Quiet surroundings and an easy 15 minute walk into Salcombe along Batson creek ( short steepish hill to negotiate on the way back up to the cottage but the rest of the walk is flat) . Morning coffee on the patio was lovely. The only thing we found was the king-size bed mattress was too soft for us but that's personal preference.

Well equipped and a perfect base for enjoying Salcombe . Quiet surroundings and an easy 15 minute walk into Salcombe along Batson creek ( short steepish hill to negotiate on the way back up to the cottage but the rest of the walk is flat) . Morning coffee on the patio was lovely. The only thing we found was the king-size bed mattress was too soft for us but that's personal preference. The cottage was delightful though and we also hired the shepherd's hut which was very comfortable and cute. The outside loo was a bonus with 5 of us staying . Overall we had a lovely time and without hesitation we will return .

“The cottage is lovely, idyllically located, lovely and quiet at night time.”

It has a visiting your gran homely feel to it with endearing features. However, no toilet upstairs was a pain, especially at night. The mattress could do with a change. For the price paid, a decent set of curtains wouldn't go amiss. The sofa is old, as well as the pillows. The shower overflows very quickly. A bath would be amazing to soak in. We had to call up and ask for extra bin bags- we had a 6 month old with us and naturally used more rubbish than a couple usually would, but then again if a family of 4 was staying there they would face the same difficulties. Same with the washing up liquid. Why so cheap with the basics? All just seemed a bit budget for the price and we left with the impression that is was a business that was a hinderance to someone rather than what we were hoping it would be; someone's beautifully maintained cottage in the heart of Devon that's both charming and functional. Oh and the bins hadn't been put out previously so when we came to leave the black bin was already full. Still happy with our stay, just a few niggly points that we were reminded of on a daily basis.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are thrilled that you loved Elworthy Cottage, it is in such a beautiful setting. We work very closely with our owners and caretakers so are disappointed to hear the matters you have raised. We have spoken with the owner who takes a lot of pride in her cottage and is saddened to hear you felt her business came across as a hindrance. She has taken your points on board and will certainly look into them. It can be difficult to offer a property to accommodate everyone’s taste as it is such a personal thing. However we really appreciate your review as we can then work to make it the best experience for all. We can only apologise you came across the nigles you did. We are happy that this did not affect your stay and hope to welcome you back to the area soon. Owner relations

“Loved staying here, peaceful, cosy, everything you need.”

The beds however were dreadful, all mattresses need changing for new. Otherwise, the property is perfect!

Most disappointing. We chose you after 2 wonderful holidays previously but will not use you again.

The property

Holding character and tradition from its thatched roof to its wooden beams, Elworthy is a traditional Grade II listed cottage, perfect for your family retreat to Salcombe, and only a 15 minute walk along the side of the creek into town.

Step inside to find a snug sitting room home to a woodburning stove, there's no better spot to spend an evening unwinding as the dinner simmers in the kitchen.

The kitchen is also home to a modest dining area where you can gather to discuss your plans for the day ahead while enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal.

When sleep calls, head up the stairs to find two bedrooms; consisting of a king-size room and a twin, it offers the perfect layout for a small family to rest before delving into action the next day.

Outside is a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee on the patio or alfresco dining straight from the barbecue in the summer months amongst the coastal breeze.

Elworthy is a delight of a dwelling, a perfect base for enjoying the wonders of South Devon.

Also available is a Shepherds Hut that can accommodate two guests and is furnished with a 4' double bed, woodburning stove and wc.

This can be made available at an additional cost of £150 per week.

About the location

SALCOMBE

Kingsbridge 7 miles; Dartmouth 21 miles; Plymouth 24 miles; Paignton 26 miles.

Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking, including the South West Coast path.

The Shepherds Hut, sleeping 2 guests is available for an additional £150.00
