Also had difficulty loading and unloading.

Also had difficulty loading and unloading.

Many thanks for your valuable feedback, we were sorry and disappointed to read your comments. The dehumidifier in the bedroom is only for use when the property is unoccupied for a period of a few days or more to prevent the build-up of damp. It would not normally be used when tenants are in occupation and we are sorry that it was left out for your arrival. Unfortunately, it had tripped out in the couple of weeks leading up to your booking hence the damp smell and slight mold on the walls. Following your departure, the affected areas were treated and have been redecorated. Due to the nature/location of these basement type rooms it is very difficult to control damp and the build-up of moisture other than regular decoration and the use of dehumidifiers. We will work closely with the owner to look into any other options that may help the situation. On a brighter note, we were pleased to hear that you loved the location of this property and we do hope that you had an enjoyable time exploring Salcombe and all this town has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back in the not too distant future. Owner relations

“Great property, sorry we didn't find earlier”
“As above”
“But the ironing board is useless.”

The covering is falling off and so has be be removed and at least three layers of towelling have to laid on it so that the grid base pattern does not show on the clothing being ironed. Why do you need customers to do your quality control? BN Bosworth

“Lovely cottage in great location, a little tired perhaps and a little damp in the lower ground rooms”
“Lovely cottage and great location, very clean and nicely equiped and decorated.”

Bedrooms being in the basement were slightly damp - really needs to be tanked

Nice view.

“Location is great, Coast and Country are great, but the house is seriously let down by the damp issue downstairs.”

There is a dehumidifier provided, but I don't like leaving electrical items like that running when I am not in a house, and after being out for a day the house had a terrible damp smell once you went downstairs. Running the dehumidifier was pulling over a litre of water an hour out of the air. any clothes not in the wardrobe or suitcases ended up smelling of damp. Anything left on the floor was damp. There is no window in the 2nd bedroom and the air in here is heavy and damp. Its a shame as the house is to a reasonable standard and if it wasnt for the damp issues I would stay again, although the front door looks like an internal glass door with a latch on it, which is quite poor and made my wife feel uncomfortable. If these were sorted I would not hesitate to staying there again, the location is fantastic.

The dehumidifier is in the bedroom for use only when the property is unoccupied for any period of a few days or more to prevent the build-up of damp, it would not normally be used when tenants are in occupation due to drawing too much moisture created by the property being used and we are sorry that it was left out for your arrival.

“A comfortable property that suits our needs, good location with nice patio area.”

“Has a problem with damp even in summer we emptied the dehumidifer twice during our one week stay.”

. Our son could not sleep in front bedroom so my husband and i had to share a twin room. The property is rather shabby and not up to your normal standard

With reference to your recent feedback may I firstly say how sorry I am that the property did not meet your expectations. This is a very popular property, in central Salcombe, which has been let consistently for a numbers of seasons and has many returning customers'. 14a Courtenay Street has been assessed as 3 Star Gold however, we will review the standard of accommodation at the earliest opportunity and will discuss the issues you have raised with the property owners. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you wish to discuss these matters further. Owner relations
“Very well equipped cottage.”

Very comfortable and easy to live in. Lovely decking area. A few minor problems. Rubbish in Salcombe separated into categorise, there were no instructions and only one colour bag available when three were needed and info about facilities such as bottle banks would have been helpful. Delightful patio area but very overlooked by neighbours on higher street and flat overhead and very near next door's decking area.
“Beautiful cottage, great location, great views, great outside space/”

Thank you so much for your extremely positive review of 14a Courtenay Street – we are really pleased that you were able to enjoy the summer weather and make use of the lovely outside space. It would be great to welcome you back to the area again soon! Owner relations
“Apart from two issues which we raised the location and cottage were great”

Thank you for your feedback in respect of 14a Courtenay Street in Salcombe. We understand that a member of the management team discussed the first issue with you during your stay and the second issue was reported to us on departure - a missing hob ignitor. We were pleased to hear that despite the issues raised the location and cottage were great. We hope to welcome you back to Salcombe very soon.

“We visited with our twentysomething daughters for a week in August.”

Located in a peaceful side street, slap bang in the middle of Salcombe. A brilliantly equiped home from home with fab views from the decking across the estuary - 1 min walk from Fore Street and all the pubs, restaurants, shops and coastal amenities. The only downside was that the bedrooms were downstairs and the twin room in particular had a noticeably dank feel. A humidifier was available which did need to be used constantly. A great holiday break even so, where we soaked up the atmosphere of Salcombe, relaxed and laughed a lot....!

Thank you so much for your review of 14a Courtenay Street in Salcombe. It is wonderful to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at this well equipped property, in such an excellent town centre location with immediate access to shops, the quayside and restaurants. We were grateful for your feedback in respect of the bedrooms - your comments have been forwarded to our Property Services Team. It was really pleasing to read that you had a great holiday and we very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Owner relations
“Ok for an off-season rental, but concerned that separately occupied dwellings alongside, and also above, would make it noisy.”

Joint street door with no.14 is noisy to operate, and would be heard every time it was used. Second bedroom a bit claustrophobic with no fresh air. Bathroom very nice, especially with underfloor heating.

Many thanks for your review in respect of your recent stay at 14a Courtenay Street. Your comments regarding the joint street door have been forwarded to our Property Services team to investigate. Thanks again for your valuable feedback; we hope to welcome you to Salcombe again. Owner relations
“Nice property - potentially damp downstairs but good heating so not a problem in October.”

Maybe a bit gloomy in summer?

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.

You are permitted to unload in Courtenay Street but NOT park as it is Residents Parking only and you will receive a parking ticket if you do so. Both bedrooms are located below ground level.
