    “We thought the apartment was lovely.”

    It was very clean, cosy, and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The view from the lounge window was absolutely fantastic, although it was a shame that the outside of the window appeared difficult to access for cleaning. The beds were comfortable, and we appreciated the provision of spare batteries when we thought there was an issue with the remote control—which, as it turned out, was the problem all along!

    It was very clean, cosy, and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The view from the lounge window was absolutely fantastic, although it was a shame that the outside of the window appeared difficult to access for cleaning. The beds were comfortable, and we appreciated the provision of spare batteries when we thought there was an issue with the remote control—which, as it turned out, was the problem all along! There are a few areas that could be improved. A small shelf above the basin in the shower room would be very useful, as there was nowhere convenient to put toiletries and my things kept falling everywhere. It was also disappointing that there were no recycling facilities, with all waste going into general rubbish. The balcony area could do with some attention, and the decking outside the front door became extremely slippery when it rained, which could easily lead to an accident. Some chicken wire or similar non-slip covering would help improve safety. Future guests should also be aware that the steep slope leading up to the car parking area is not for the faint-hearted, especially when carrying luggage. However, the climb is well worth it for such a lovely apartment and its wonderful setting. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would happily recommend the cottage.

    Thank you for your lovely review. We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay and found the apartment clean, cosy, comfortable and well equipped. We agree that the views are one of the property's highlights, and we're pleased you were able to make the most of them. We also appreciate your constructive feedback. Following your stay, we have arranged for a specialist window cleaning company to clean the two exterior windows that are difficult to access. We've also jet-washed the decking outside the front door and freshened up the balcony area, ready for future guests to enjoy. Thank you also for your comments regarding the shower room. While there is a shelving unit beside the shower for toiletries, we always value guest feedback on how we can make the space even more convenient. Thank you again for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Salcombe again in the future. Property Owner

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.
