But I would say a tight squeeze for 4. The mould smell was a little strong and off putting but apart form that the flat was clean. Few things that would of made the stay better would of been WiFi, a few more oven trays (as I the current situation with eating out we had more than half our meals at the apartment) A bottle opener & a small amount of freezer space. Was a little noisy being near the road but that was probably more noticeable for us as we are from a very rural area. Salcombe is a lovely place and the location was ideal. Great to have a parking space with the property as well.

“Great location, the flat is neat and tidy although the bedrooms quite cramped as are the parking spaces but overall we enjoyed our stay.”

The service from coast and country was good with plenty of communication and Helpful advice on the area. I would recommend the location and the service we received.

“What a lovely holiday home.”

In a great location with private parking, it was small but perfectly formed! Thank you for great week in Salcombe, we'll be back soon!

“This property has an issue with rising damp.”

The bedroom was so damp that the carpet even felt wet. The number of air fresheners, clearly an attempt to mask the damp odour only made matters worse. We went home early as we really didn’t feel comfortable staying here.
Mrs Waring August 2019

“The flat was great but the main bedroom stank of mould.”

I wouldn’t book it again. You couldn’t leave the bedroom window open at night to get rid of the smell because of the path outside and the road noise in the morning. When we arrived the excess of air fresheners should have given it away. The 2 air fresheners in the bedroom, one of which sprayed out all night, and was hard to find as it was hidden in the top of the top of the wardrobe, were particularly annoying as air fresheners make me wheeze. Once I’d found them all and turned them off or hidden them in a cupboard we realised why they were there. A flat in salcombe in summer is a relatively expensive holiday. I was disappointed by the mould smell. It made the property not reflect the price I felt. It was pretty strong and the bedroom carpet was actually damp by the wall. I would suggest replacing it. There is a crack on the outside of the building which has been repaired. Maybe not that well. In retrospect I should have said something when we were there. It was pretty bad.

“This flat is in a great location, about five minutes walk into Salcombe town centre.”

There is a small amount of traffic noise if the windows are open but you are near enough to walk into Salcombe easily (or for older kids to have a bit of freedom to go on their own) but far enough away to not be disturbed by late night noise of pubs and restaurants. The flat was clean and comfortable and as the weather was mainly good, we used it for evening meals and sleeping and it was a comfortable base for the four of us. It would possibly be cramped for four if the weather was bad and you were in more often. The description said it was a ground floor flat which it is but there are many steps down to the entrance so if people have accessibility needs this may be a problem for them and they will be looking for a flat described as ground floor. The parking spaces for these flats are ridiculously small. Be prepared to jettison your passengers, park and then climb across the seats to get out. Again, this won't be possible for everyone. We were parked perfectly within the lines of our space. One of the other flats did offer to move his car across as he was very slightly over the line with one tyre but he couldn't actually get in his car. The bunk bed room is very small. Not really a problem for us but something to be aware of. If you are planning to feed a family of four in the evening, take a large frying pan and saucepan as the biggest in the cottage were not large enough for a family of four.

“Had a lovely holiday at 3the elms.”

This is an ideal property for 2 people only,as bunk room is so small you would not be able to stand in the room to dress. It is listed as all ground floor. No mention of the 14 steps to get down to the front door. Would be a big problem for some people. Steps are only mentioned after you receive details on how to get to the property! You are not allowed to put food waste in green bin as they have it padlocked! Another resident told us just to use black bin. It is listed as king size bed but it isn't. Double bed only. It would be handy to have a corkscrew in the kitchen and also some large scissors. However we had a lovely week with amazing weather. Thanks.
Mr Hemmins June 2019

“What a lovely apartment, fresh and modern with everything you could want and very comfy.”

The weather was glorious, Salcombe has great places to eat and drink and most are pet friendly as was the accommodation. Everyone was so friendly and it was very easy to book. We will definitely be back. Thank you.
