Although hilly, great to have two parking spaces. Beds were very comfortable and we slept well. A couple of small things, when it was windy the windows rattled, even though they did supply a couple of plastic wedges. Make sure they’re in tight. If you are running a bath and flush the loo, the system won’t fill up. You have to turn the tap off. The sofa and chairs could be more comfortable especially when there are four adults. The utility area by the lounge is a great space for everything, boots, dog, coats and bags. Coast and Country were very helpful when we needed them. We’ve had a lovely time and would definitely go again.

Mrs Williams October 2021

“We really enjoyed our week; brilliant location and the property had everything we needed.”

Very comfy beds, lovely shower, parking space. Washing machine & dryer very useful. The only thing I can think could be improved is the sofa; it’s quite small and not the comfiest. We couldn’t get enough of the amazing view and fortunately it was so mild we could sit outside for breakfast every morning. Would love to stay here again.

Mrs Pate September 2021

Fowler September 2021

“We had to put the heating on a couple of times and found that the instructions in the blue file were confusing,the only way we could get the heating on was moving the round thermostat glass ball on the corner shelf to 20c.”

We found that the sun didnt come up to the top terrace which we hoped to use often.We didnt know that the Flat was so high up and found the steps up and down too much for us and the steps outside the kitchen not good when you are in your 70s, Sofa not very comfortable,as the chairs too. Noisy people above. Could do with a dog gate like there is inside at the top of the top terrace steps as the dog had gone missing among the shrubs,We had to lay the garden chairs across the top steps to stop our small dog We liked Salcombe but next time find a place much closer to the town with less steps.

- Fowler, September 2021

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry you had trouble with the heating, please know that if you had made us aware of a problem we would have been able to advise you. If the sun is not on the top terrace it will be found on the decking at the bottom of the garden. Due to the nature of the town a lot of properties are situated up hills and this particular property has steps up to it, all this information is available to you when booking the property. We can only apologise that you encountered the matters you have raised and hope that in spite of these you still enjoyed your holiday in Salcombe. Property Owner

“Due to location not suitable for disabled or elderly people.”

Salcombe is a very pretty village and we enjoyed our stay

Mrs Stringfellow October 2020

“We fell in love with 1 North Crest house.”

It was perfect for us as a family. Clean, comfortable and a great location. We had our first break for two years here and it was amazing.

Mrs Sellers September 2020

“Absolutely fantastic accommodation the only slight niggle was the sofa after a day of walking & being out & about the sofa & chairs were a little uncomfortable.”

.. but the house was fantastic , great location home from home ☺️

Mrs Bullen September 2020

“Beautiful Apartment, great location, fantastic views and really well appointed.”

Car parking was a real bonus. I will definitely be back.

Mrs Gardner August 2020

“1 North crest House is a really comfortable apartment.”

We have stayed in some very nice Sykes cottages, but we thought that this was the best one yet! It is very nicely decorated and furnished. It has a lovely garden, and patio areas, overlooking views of the estuary and the surrounding countryside. We know that by booking a Sykes cottage, we will not be disappointed when we arrive.

- Mrs Gardner, August 2020
Mrs Power August 2020

“We absolutely loved our short stay at this beautiful apartment.”

It was very spacious with a lovely open plan downstairs area (it even had a little area gated off for our dog to sleep) and two super bedrooms upstairs. The location was perfect - a short walk down into Salcombe yet just high enough to enjoy the amazing views over the harbour. Planning our next trip back already!

- Mrs Power, August 2020
Ms Quinnen October 2019

“We really loved our week.”

1 North Crest is in a great location to walk down to town but in a peaceful place with a lovely view. Really useful utility area for the dog to sleep in plus an enclosed garden. Fabulous and comfy. As an FYI, we arrived in the dark and if you do the same then ensure you go right to the end of the lane to find the flat entrance, there are a number of double garages on the lane but you need to get to the last one up a little hill.

- Ms Quinnen, October 2019

Thank you for your lovely review of 1 North Crest House, we are so pleased you enjoyed your time there. The owners have made some improvements to the property over the Winter, so we are sure that there will be many other happy guests in 2020! Property Owner
Mr Goodman August 2019

“We had a very enjoyable week at 1 Northcrest House in Salcombe.”

Our only real issue was on arrival in pouring rain when the directions to find the keys were not as clear as they could be and we had to ring the office for assistance. The directions to the outside shed housing the key safe need to be made clearer. The upstairs bathroom couldn't be locked from the inside which just meant we had to be a bit more careful before entering. Other than that all was fine.

- Mr Goodman, August 2019
Mrs Charles July 2019

“For its value you will be hard pressed to beat 1 North Crest for its positioning, the view, garden, car parking on site, and general flat facilities.”

Only major let down is that there is non existent soundproofing with the flat above. Be warned if the above flat is occupied your sleep and wake times will be dedicated to be them!! It sounds like someone is in 1 Northcrest when in fact it’s the flat above. Be warned it is noisy on occasions. Such a shame as perfect holiday rental otherwise.

- Mrs Charles, July 2019

Thank you for your review, we are pleased that you enjoyed the property and its location. We appreciate you bringing the noise to our attention and are looking into a resolve for this. We look forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe in the future UPDATE Spring 2020 - various refurbishment has been carried out, including soundproofing. Property Owner
Mr Roberts July 2019

“Lovely property in great location.”

Having on site parking is a major benefit. Would highly recommend.

- Mr Roberts, July 2019
Mrs Wise June 2019

“Everything as advertised.”

Great apartment with brilliant views. Outdoor space and parking a real bonus. Salcombe is a lovely resort, very picturesque. All the properties in the town are very well maintained. Good individual shops. Ferry services frequent to different areas close to resort centre.

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.

Twin beds can be placed together to create a super-King size bed, but please note the beds do not lock together. This must be requested at time of booking.

Access from Allenhayes road is via narrow/steep steps.

“Please be aware, due to the nature of the town, several of our properties are situated up hills. Please contact our reservations team if you would like more information about the location of this property.”
