“This property felt like a new rental so hopefully this constructive feedback will help improve it for future occupants.”

The key-holder was very difficult to open (previous occupants mentioned this also in the guest book). When we finally got inside the property there was no tea/coffee/milk to welcome us which would have been a friendly gesture. The kitchen is under-equipped for a family of 4 self-catering. Only 4 of each item (so washing-up constantly). No measuring jugs, wooden spoons, spatulas, etc. Very small fridge which meant shopping frequently. On a positive note, access to the garage was useful for ...

The key-holder was very difficult to open (previous occupants mentioned this also in the guest book). When we finally got inside the property there was no tea/coffee/milk to welcome us which would have been a friendly gesture. The kitchen is under-equipped for a family of 4 self-catering. Only 4 of each item (so washing-up constantly). No measuring jugs, wooden spoons, spatulas, etc. Very small fridge which meant shopping frequently. On a positive note, access to the garage was useful for bike and wet suit storage. The house was lovely and clean so if you are looking for budget accommodation in Salcombe then I would recommend it, but don’t have high expectations.

“The Cottage was poorly equipped in some areas.”

I realise that there are some areas that need to change during the COVID19 period, but Kitchen very poor - insufficient items or they were so small & really suitable for 1-2 persons (pans, frying pan, utensils, glasses, bowls, jug. NO ovenproof dish at all). I had to go out & but some items which is not what I needed Fridge woefully inadequate/small for storage Twin room was not suitable for 2 people The bath was at one-time a walk in bath, but now blocked off, but the height of the bath is now very awkward. There are however grab rails. The cottage should be marketed for 2-3 people. One of the beds should be removed & some storage put in. Alternatively make twin room larger, which would be an easy conversion. The living room made it very awkward to watch TV, the 2 sofas at 90 degrees to TV, one with no arms was uncomfortable. Key safe very awkward to use, we broke nails getting in to it. Parking almost impossible, garage was unusable for most modern cars & roadside parking always full. I had to park in public parking opposite Coop store.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. All your comments have been carefully considered by the Owners, and changes have been made to the description of the property, for example the twin room now states that it is only suitable for children, and the garage can only accommodate a small car. The keysafe has been replaced, and more kitchen equipment, as well as an ironing board and hair dryer have been supplied. We do hope that you enjoyed your time at Lysander and hope to welcome you back to the area again soon. Owner relations

The property

Sitting at the centre of the traditional village of Malborough, in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Lysander in Cumber Close is the ultimate idyll for a family holiday to this desirable area of Devon.

An all-ground-floor bungalow hosting a welcoming charm, there's no better abode for a getaway at any time of year.

Step into the white-painted property and head straight to the kitchen to flick on the kettle, sitting along a good range of other handy appliances, and soak in your surroundings; sit in the conservatory attached to the kitchen, while the sun pours through the windows, making this a wonderful spot in the mornings to enjoy your breakfast with the patio doors open letting in the fresh, countryside breeze.

Move through into the living/dining room and let the warmth of the electric fire fill the room as you sit around the dining table and discuss a plan of action for your fun-filled days ahead, or simply soak into one of the plush sofas and escape into the entertainment of the Smart TV.

At the end of the day, seek comfort in one of the two bedrooms, with a double and a twin (only suitable for children), both providing a snug spot to rest your head with a delightful white and blue theme, reminding you of the wonderful coastal position the cottage is placed in.

There is a pretty grassy play area directly outside the property.

Be sure to explore the local village of Malborough, where you will find all the essentials of a shop, two pubs, alongside fantastic walking routes and a plethora of nature waiting to be discovered.

Nearby Salcombe makes a wonderful day trip for time soaking in the sun on the golden sands of its beach.

Enjoy fresh seafood in one of the beach restaurants.

Visit nearby Hope Cove for a truly tranquil spot, or explore the bustling atmosphere of Dartmouth with its enticing history and picturesque marina.

Perfectly positioned for exploring both the coast and countryside of Devon, Lysander is a wonderful property for a family holiday at any time of year.
