2 Poundstone Court

I would firstly like to say that the cleaner needs a massive congratulations on how she does her job.

Immaculate!!Please could we have a new dining table!That table is so nice ,but not meant to be a dining table.Loved the new tweaks,just need new cutlery and a new induction hob.We look forward for our visit next year. Thank you Dominic and family.

We have stayed at 2 Poundcourt for several years, we wouldn't go anywhere else.

Such a good position, with the best views in Salcombe. The property is well maintained and the cleaning is exceptional, spotless. Already booked for next year!

We feel that a dvd player should be included and non-slip mats for showers.

Difficult to get car in garage due to other items in gsrage

2 Poundstone has a fantastic location and superb view.

! What a great place !!! Book here if they have any availability left !!

Wow what a fabulous place, great location, well equipped, everything you could ask for, we really enjoyed staying here, thank you

Lovely holiday again !

We absolutely loved it.

Would strongly recommend it. Awesome views, must be one of the best in Salcombe. Excellently equipped, well furnished, super bedding. The parking is very tricky, but there is nothing that can be done about that. A safety rail in the main bath would be worth considering.

This is our 4th year staying in the property,we love the situation and have booked for next year year.

But this year we have struggled with the bed collapsing 3 times in the main room,this year.Needs attention! I also feel that it is sold as a property for 4people ,so should be equipped for 4!eg 3 champagne glasses ,it doesn’t work in wine glasses ☹️.Eggs boiled need eggcups ,only 2!!.I totally understand things get broken but should be spares.Plenty of plates,etc.Would love the dining table to be replaced as terrified it’s going to collapse.You could buy a new glass top table for £250 and it would look great and add to the flat.It’s a lovely table but not for the purpose.love the improvement in the bathrooms ,new bedrooms carpet,and new patio doors are great.Think it’s coming time to upgrade the kitchen,especially the hob ,time for an induction!

Another enjoyable stay at our favourite holiday spot (and the weather was perfect too).

We have been staying here for a number of years and have noticed some positive improvements, I.e. bathrooms refitted, new carpets, new patio doors etc. The only thing that now needs updating is the 3 piece suit, this is very tired and more uncomfortable (and more creaky) than last year. Finally, the 2nd bedroom bathroom door needs refitting, so it doesn’t catch on the floor and actually closes properly. We love staying here, the views and location are outstanding and have already booked for next year.

Fantastic location and wonderful views.

The flat was spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable, though the addition of a blind in the kitchen and full curtains in the living room would have been appreciated on windier days when there could be a draught. The parking space is tight but a real bonus.

A great location and a fabulously located apartment with huge picture windows leading to an enormous balcony overlooking the estuary - the photos speak for themselves - let down by soft furnishings that have seen better times (and too many sweaty bodies).

Some other issues with cleanliness on this occasion too. Can't fault Coast and Country, though, who were highly responsive and keen to put right what they could (which they did), but even they couldn't rectify the small and shabby sofa, which the owners presumably thought would do. Well, not at this price point it won't. Of all the properties we've rented over our twenty-something years of coming to South Hams (minimum once a year), this was our third and, I'm afraid, now final visit to No. 2 Poundstone Court, However, definitely not our last let through Coast and Country.

2 Poundstone Court is a great apartment, in a convenient location with stunning views from a long balcony that gets sunshine until late in the afternoon.

  The bedrooms are large and airy, with one having a good sized en-suite bathroom with shower over the bath and the other an en-suite shower and toilet.   The kitchen is small but well equipped but could be improved with decent coffee making facilities. We needed 2 car parking spaces which this property is advertised as having but the one in the garage was unusable unless it was for a very small car as there was a long bench with tools sticking out making parking impossible.  Fortunately we were out of season, so could find parking on nearby roads for one car without too much trouble. In high season that could prove tricky and expensive. 

Another lovely stay with this beautiful view !

Difficult to drag ourselves away but we’ll be back without a doubt.

A perfect week in this exceptionally beautiful and convenient location.

Everything we needed including a prompt response from Sykes when a loo door handle wasn't operating properly. Have booked for next year

Love the new shower in the twin room,but the beds in that room need replacing or new mattresses.

I also think time for a kitchen upgrade,induction hob and a new extractor as it doesn’t work.The apartment was lovely and clean and the lounge is very comfortable,we do worry about the dining table as the leaves are very wobbly.A lovely glass table would be a great addition and feel safer when you are eating.The view is beautiful and so close to town.Excellent stay .

The location of the property is superb and views spectacular.

The property was clean but maintenance not the best. The gas hob igniter didn't work and reading the visitor book, guests complained about it two years ago. The extractor fan would only work if you help the button which was a nuisance. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and the mattress in the king size bed did not fit the frame properly so you had to be careful getting in and out of it. Lovely apartment, but needs some investment. You are paying for the fabulous views.

Again, another fabulous holiday at 2 Poundcourt.

We love this flat, with its fabulous views. Already booked for next year.

It has location and views.

It is clean, comfortable and light. It has a well-equipped, modern kitchen, luxurious bathroom, large master bedroom. The starter pack had everything when needed to settle in. The sort of place you can enjoy whatever the British weather throws at you.

Apart from the new dishwasher not arriving all was fine (we don’t have a dishwasher!

) everything was fine, even the weather behaved in week one. Super location thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Beautiful property, the view from the balcony is fabulous and location is amazing.

The only downside is the family who live next door (number 3) clearly don’t like other people or tourists so just try not to engage!

Really lovely stay,new bathrooms lovely since we last stayed.

Kitchen appliances tired and need replacement.Dining table also needs replacing with a more solid one .View is the best!!!!

Fantastic location, the views are incredible.

We have stayed at 2 poundcourt on several occasions and just love it, wouldn't stay anywhere else. However we were a little suprised that lounge patio door still does not lock, it wasn't working last year , that really should have been sorted out by now. not sure where that sits for insurance purposes!

A perfect apartment with fantastic views over the Estuary and all the amenities you could possibly need.

Clean and great size rooms could easily accommodate 5 guests if had sofa bed or guest bed in main bedroom. Only improvement could be to ensure windows and balcony glass are cleaned as these were dirty (seems a bird took a fancy to them) and to warn of the extremely difficult parking for large cars. Did not use garage as no instructions on how to open it and not sure my car would've fitted even if I had figured out how to open it. I would definitely recommend this property and would like to stay again, just wish I could have brought my dog.

Great apartment in an amazing location.

Both bathrooms were very nice and has everything you could need for a long or short stay. Car parking space is tight but once you have reversed in a few times it is ok. Would recommend and would stay again on the future.

This is a lovely apartment clean and well equipped.

With superb views. A very enjoyable week was had in Jan/feb 2023.

The location of the property is convenient for Salcombe and it’s wonderful shops, pubs and restaurants.

The views of the estuary and beaches from the apartment are stunning. The facilities are good and well maintained. The main bedroom is spacious and the bathroom adequate. We did eat in one night and the cooking facility was good. The parking is very difficult with a medium car the area in front of the garage is narrow with two pillars in front. We visited in mid January and temperatures outside were sub zero at night and only 5C during the day. Consequently we found the heating of the property inadequate. It was uncomfortable to sit in the lounge after eating out in the local pubs. The radiators worked ok but the draft from the patio doors defeated the heating.

Very enjoyable stay.

Amazing position. Right Hand Sliding Door needs some attention to the locking mechanism and would not recommend opening until this has been done. Likewise the single bed under the window needs looking at with regard to the slats under the mattress.

The apartment is lovely - clean, comfortable, well-equipped and furnished.

There are fantastic views across the estuary even on a grey day! Our only concern was the patio door (I have seen this been mentioned in other reviews). It was not securely fitted and did not lock. It was very windy during our stay - the door was rattling, there was a strong draught and we were a bit worried the whole thing would cave in! Other than that our stay there was perfect and we would book again.

Excellent property with fantastic views over the estuary.

Parking was interesting in a Jaguar XF but with care only one minor w/mirror scratch. The flat was warm and comfortable with all amenities to hand. Would benefit from shelves in the showers(to hang shower gel etc. from)and a splatter mesh for the frying pan. On the whole a great place to holiday, in fact have booked for next September already. Eric C.

The bedrooms were poorly decorated, the beds very uncomfortable, and the bed linen of very poor quality.

The carpets in the bedrooms were very badly stained., The shutter in the double bedroom was faulty as was the balcony door in the sitting room. The code for the waste bin garages was incorrect. The property for what we expected was overpriced and badly presented.

Fantastic property with the most AMAZING views from the balcony/lounge and kitchen!

Great facilities for our family of 2 adults/2 teenage boys - the 2 ensuites were a bonus. Just a couple of points: please provide cushions for the sun loungers, please check the twin room window as it appears to be locked shut, also, the larger patio doors are very difficult to lock. We will be recommending the property to our friends and family! Thanks

Fantastic apartment, fantastic view, however the place was furnished pretty poorly, like the world's most expensive student apartment, with the world's loudest bathroom fans.

Could do with an update for the price they charge. Other family members rented 9 Poundstone which was worlds apart - beautifully decorated and furnished, would highly recommend that over 2 Poundstone. We will be booking somewhere different next year. Coast and Country were great, we had no problems with the apartment, just not the premium experience you'd expect for the price.

Fabulous improvement to both bathrooms.

Apartment very clean. The welcome pack was a great addition. However for improvements: 1. Please refine instruction regards key safe, “ The keys can be found in a key safe, which is located in the blue/grey Louvre cupboard to the left of the front door, just past the window.” 2. The large patio door ( right hand side near tv) requires URGENT repair or replacement. Last year it was off the runners and difficult to use and this year appeared worse and the handle was falling off. It was impossible to use. Other than that, views to die for and perfect weather.

Again a very enjoyable stay at Poundstone Court - our first at number 2.

Full marks to the cleaners - the place was spotless. Great to have clean modern bathrooms where everything worked - including the heated towel rails ! Would definitely return.

Great rental in first class position.

Easy access both to property and Salcombe with unbeatable views. Very comfortable with all amenities. Stayed for one week in May 22.

We love staying at no 2 Poundcourt, so central for everything and the views have to be one of the best in Salcombe.

Small nags - found parking really difficult, and a little scary!! Should state parking for small, medium cars only. Also we found having the Wifi system in the bedroom was not the best. The blue light radiating from it kept me awake at times. I think as well that the rooms could do with a little TLC, looking a little worn especially the carpet in the main bedroom which was quite stained.

Fab view ,as described ,lovely large balcony and very clean and well equipped, comfy bed slept very well.

Very central to all in Salcombe and easy access to surrounding attractions NT places eateries etc.

Number 2 Poundstone Court , Salcombe As you can see from the above recommendations , we have graded it all FIRST CLASS.

We just loved being there! Excellent taste in the high quality of. - - - everything. Marian & Stuart Vincent

This flat is absolutely beautiful - the photos online cannot capture the true brilliance of the view - out to sea and up the estuary.

The flat was bright and airy and we could have had a lovely holiday without setting foot outside the door - the sunshine and views from the balcony were so lovely! The flat is also very convenient for many pubs, shops and gorgeous walks - so all in all a really great holiday location.

There was no DVD as advertised, no big problem, but we mentioned this to the local office.

It would have been useful to have been advised of this and we would then have brought our own. More detailed instructions how to operate the boiler would be useful and the dishwasher - a couple of buttons on the right were unreadable. These are very minor comments - we are planning when we can go again or who we can recommend the flat to.

The apartment is as we remember it from the last time we stayed there.

It’s location is ideal for us and in general terms delivered well , but .... there were a number of niggles which proved irritating and should have been dealt with at a pre check stage before we moved in. 1. The plug in one of the bathroom sinks was jammed in and after removing it the plumber was unable to refix this for the whole time we were there 2 The dishwasher after one run broke down and had to be repaired by someone coming round 3 not able to use the oven on the first night and someone had to come round to reset the clock to manual.. not clearly explained in any instructions

Yes,everything was lovely, but there is a need for two showers in the apartment otherwise it was perfect.

It is the location and unbeatable views that sell this apartment.

However the owners have ignored the comments made in their visitors book for the last 3 years, regarding required updates and improvements: The 2 bedrooms need daytime privacy blinds, since other residents can walk right past these windows and see inside. We had to keep the curtains closed throughout our stay, giving a gloomy feel to the apartment. At night the outside security lights shine into both bedrooms, lighting up the rooms! Blackout curtains are required. The second bedroom en-suite bathroom has only a hand shower attachment, from the bath taps. We were a party of 4 adults so ended up all sharing the first bedroom en-suite shower. Both bathrooms need updating, with heated towel rails as there is nowhere to dry towels. The hallway needs a row of coat hooks for outside clothing. The balcony is the main selling point of this apartment, but the furniture on it is old and falling apart. The table wobbles and is unsteady. The apartment sleeps 4 but there are only 2 sun loungers provided. For visitors with 2 cars, it needs to be made clear that only a small car will fit in the garage. Fortunately one of our cars was a mini, but a larger car would not be able to open the drivers’ door. Overall, this apartment is tired and crying out for refurbishment of all rooms and new furniture, if the owners expect repeat bookings.

We’re very familiar with Salcombe and knew we wanted views of the estuary.

This property really exceeded those expectations, the views were truly amazing. Blinds in the bedrooms would be beneficial, for privacy during the day and to help with security lights at night time. Otherwise a great apartment, we’ll definitely use it again.

The flat is large and comfortable with a huge balcony and an amazing view of Salcombe estuary.

No complaints at all, until it comes to the details. The flat is part of a gated complex, where other guests had a remote fob to work the gates. I was offered a code for the keypad which did not work, and it took 3 days, several telephone calls and two trips to the office to get the correct one. Similarly the automatic garage doors would not work, likewise even the code for the waste bins. A great place in an excellent location, marred at times by irritating things that could so easily have been rectified.

Great balcony and location.

Needed stand up shower in second bedroom and blinds to bedroom windows.. Finally the access to the car park space is misleading as it is very restricted.

The best apartment in Salcombe?

superb , a great place to be

Amazing balcony with this property. Interior was quite basic and not really luxurious, but was ok. Bathrooms need attention and could do with blinds in the bedroom. Kitchen pretty well equipped. Exterior and grounds were very well maintained and impressive.
