“The apartment is perfect, the weather was gorgeous and it was very sad that due to the announcement by Boris on the 23rd March we felt we had to leave, and go home.”

I contacted the cleaning lady as requested. Hopefully we can go back again to this beautiful apartment. Heather Shaw

“Excellent position and lovely warm apartment - first class!”
Mrs Rainey August 2019

“We love 6 Crabshell Quay, this was our fifth visit.”

We'd love to buy it but I expect everyone says that! We are very much hoping to return!
Mr Coss July 2019

“The apartment was superb, as good as any we have stayed in before.”

The views were outstanding.
Mrs Shaw June 2019

“This is a great property with an unparalleled location, well decorated, well fitted and spacious; this was our 10th visit which speaks for itself.”

We noted some previous critical comments about the comfort of the bed, but we found it absolutely fine; we would request new pillows, though, as these were not good and did cause both of us some problems in sleeping comfortably. Again, previous comments about the failure of the hot water system appear to have been addressed, as we had no difficulties. It is nice to think that the owners do try to maintain the high standard of the apartment which means that we can book with great confidence that it will be as good each subsequent year. It is a large part of a thoroughly enjoyable annual break in a beautiful part of Devon
Mr Ainscough April 2019

“Our 8th consecutive stay in this lovely apartment over looking the Kingsbridge estuary.”

It really is a home from home and we hope to be back again in 2020.
Mrs Barraclough April 2019

“We have been staying at No 6 Crabshell Quay for the last 9 years so we know it pretty well.”

We did find the the mattress on the double bed extremely uncomfortable this time around. We are unsure whether it is the old one in dire need of a replacement or it has been replaced with another since we last stayed. Needless to say, I had to find a sports therapist to alleviate the pain in my back and shoulder. I think that we would want to know if the mattress is to be changed before committing to a repeat booking next year ... which we fully intend to do!
Mrs O Malley March 2019

“Place sleeps 4, there were 2 of us and there was only enough hot water in the mornings for 1 person to shower.”

Noticed previous comments in the visitors book about problems with the hot water and heating so didn’t bother mentioning it again
“Minor adjustments by new owners very much appreciated.”

“This was our 3rd consecutive stay @ no6.”

Very comfortable and relaxing. We hope to back agin in 2015!
“Lovely flat - everything worked well.”

Nice lighting. Very clean and But could not work out how to get other channels than ITV, and CD/DVDs on the TV. May need more guidance in the instructions. Otherwise, everything was excellent - especially the bedrooms, toilet/bathroom facilities and the kitchen / cooking. The views are wonderful. Flat is handy for the town, transport, and convenient shops and eateries are nearby.
“We love the location and the view from the apartment.”

Good standard of furnishing and equipment. Very clean.

“Clean. Well equipped.”

Comfortable. Roomy. Easy access. Lots of brochures. Great view of the estuary - lots to look at. Some books and games. Not many stations on TV but think this is Devon because had this problem before. Would have liked a table in the main room to enjoy the view. En suite very small. No recycling at all even though there are facilities in the parking area. Had to bring our bottles home with us or find recycling centre. Overall very enjoyable stay.
“Shower not too safe for elderly people like us, no rubber mat or handles at shower level.”

Otherwise everything very good in this lovely apartment, if only it had a lift.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your review in respect of 6 Crabshell Quay in Kingsbridge. Your feedback regarding the shower is much appreciated and we have passed your comments on to the owners for their information. We do hope you had an enjoyable stay and look forward to welcoming you back to the South Hams again very soon.

“Lovely, well-equipped apartment in a lovely location.”

There are couple of small problems due to the design and build of the property. The shower in the en-suite is very small and there is a surprising amount of noise (e.g. doors closing) that can be heard from other apartments at night. We also had a problem getting in touch with the owners. They didn't respond to either a voicemail or a text to the contact number given in the apartment. If it hadn't been for these problems, we would have given 5 stars.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your valuable review in respect of 6 Crabshell Quay. Your comments have been forwarded to both the owner and the caretaker. We were sorry to hear that you had difficulty making contact with the owners. We have requested that the caretaker kindly ensure the correct contact telephone numbers are left at the property for both ourselves and the caretaker. In the first instance, the caretaker should be contacted regarding any matter and, in the unlikely event she is not available, we will be happy to assist. On a positive note, we were delighted to read that you really enjoyed your stay at 6 Crabshell Quay and particularly loved the wonderful location overlooking the Kingsbridge/Salcombe estuary. We do hope you choose to return in the not too distant future.

We love this apartment, for its unbeatable location with glorious estuary views and for the high standard of its decor, furnishings, equipment and always excellent preparation. This year we had the benefit of seven days unbroken sunshine and record temperatures If we could buy Crabshell Quay we would! In the meantime, we will rebook for 2019

About the location

KINGSBRIDGE

Salcombe 5 miles; Bantham 5 miles; Dartmouth 12 miles; Totnes 13 miles; Plymouth 20 miles.

The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of South Devon. Kingsbridge is home to a range of lovely independent shops and coffee shops, as well as a local cinema and an award-winning pub. During the summer season there are river excursions to Salcombe to see the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which also forms part of the South Devon Heritage Coast. Visitors can take a walk along the Kingsbridge Quay, wander through the narrow alleys off Fore Street or visit the Shambles, an Elizabethan market arcade. Around the South Hams area there are picturesque ports, such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, together with sandy beaches at Blackpool Sands near Stoke Fleming and the two sandy beaches at Thurlestone. There are a host of small attractive villages in South Hams offering interesting pubs, local farm produce shops and pretty rows of cottages, plus further afield the waterfront city of Plymouth is a vibrant centre housing the National Marine Aquarium, historic Barbican Quay and plenty of night life, including theatres, restaurants and bars.

Covered designated parking is strictly for one car only (no trailers permitted).
