“Excellent location and amazing views from balcony; absolutely ideal.”

particularly as it is close to the Ferry Inn. It's a well equipped, small apartment, although the bedroom was somewhat claustrophobic, no bedside tables and limited storage.

Not really the welcome we were expecting.

Richard June 2026

“Apartment is modern and well maintained.”

All the kitchen equipment appears to be new and compressive. Have stayed at this apartment previously and would have no hesitation in doing so in future. Excellent view from the balcony.

Mark May 2026

“Although very small, which we were aware of, it was ideal for the two of us.”

Good central position in the town and with a lovely view of the harbour and estuary. Very clean on arrival and well equipped.

Pam April 2026

“This is the fourth time we have stayed at 35 The Salcombe.”

The apartment is very well equipped with everything you would need for your stay. The pull down bed is extremely comfortable as are the sofas in the living area. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. If you wish to eat out there are many places within walking distance.

- Pam, April 2026
Vanessa April 2026

“I love staying in 35, feel very comfortable.”

I do have problem with th microwave, so sorry about the cupboard. I would love to stay there again, and will leave the microwave alone. Thanks

Linda March 2026

“Small apartment but very equipped and well thought out.”

The pull down bed was very comfortable all furniture was good quality. I would recommend this flat especially the beautiful views from the balcony which are ever changing and enthralling.

- Linda, March 2026
Sarah August 2025

“This is the forth or fifth time visiting 35 The Salcombe and we enjoyed again as much as the first time - hence we keep coming back!”

I would recommend updating the kettle and toaster as a bit tired and also some new wine glasses! I’d expect more than plastic. Otherwise as good as always.

- Sarah, August 2025
Richard May 2025

“Have stayed at this property previously and found it to be well presented.”

Has French doors opening onto a balcony from which you can relax and observe the world go by. Very happy with our latest visit .

“35 Salcombe is perfectly located for all amenities.”

“Very good layout and and very well kept Excellent location”

Megan October 2024

“Whereas this apartment is ideally situated over looking the harbour and benefits from dedicated parking and a lift to the third floor it is not without its faults.”

There is only the patio doors for ventilation these are either open or shut with no way of providing other air flow. Consequently it can become stuffy. It was clean generally. But the carpet needs shampooing and the vacuum cleaner needs a thorough clean. Pick up and particularly return of the key is a real pain given the one-way system in Salcombe. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay at 35 The Salcombe.

- Megan, October 2024
Matthew July 2024

“Fabulous week at 35 The Salcombe, Great location for amenities and super views from the balcony.”

We loved our stay!

- Matthew, July 2024
David June 2024

“Very nice property, clean and modern interior.”

Came up to our expectations. Great view of the estuary and central location. Some small details... There were plenty of mugs and tumblers but could do with a few more wine glasses (I guess they get broken easily). We asked for a second set of keys which were provided, there are numerous doors etc which require a key fob in the building so each of us needed a set of keys at all times.

- David, June 2024
Patricia June 2024

“Lovely apartment, very well planned with the limited space available.”

Has everything you need. View from balcony stunning. Comfortable bed too. Nice bathroom.

- Patricia, June 2024
Alistair March 2024

“Fantastic comfortable apartment.”

The position in the complex and Salcombe is wonderful. Its been very well designed to use up every inch of space. The pull down bed is a great idea, we did have just enough room to leave it down during our stay. Thankyou once again for letting us change the booking.

- Alistair, March 2024
Anna March 2024

“We loved no 35 at the Salcombe - it is beautifully done out with everything you need.”

It’s compact but with plenty of room for a couple. The balcony and the view are spectacular. It’s also great to have a parking spot right in the centre of the town. In another month or so we would have had an outdoor pool to enjoy as well - but we did like how quiet it was a bit out of season. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area. We couldn’t find the cooker switch - but coast and country helped us out very quickly!

- Anna, March 2024
Lorraine January 2024

“Beautifully furnished apartment.”

Clean and had everything you need for two people. Best view anyone could wish for. A truely restful stay. Very quiet in January which was a real treat as Salcombe is a very busy place to be in peak times. Highly recommend. We found beautiful walks which we hadn’t done before. Thank you.

- Lorraine, January 2024
Susan October 2023

“35 The Salcombe was well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday.”

The accommodation was kept to a good clean standard, The water front view was spectacular and was fortunate with the weather to be able to sit out on the patio. There was plenty of places to eat out and we enjoyed lovely coastal walks in Salcombe. We would return to this accommodation.

- Susan, October 2023
Andrew September 2023

“The improvements to this property and especially the pull-down double bed make it excellent.”

The new decking on the balcony avoids the awkward step there used to be. Everything is to a hugh standard. Our only complaint is that the kitchen sink is so slow it can give you back ache whendoing the washing up.

- Andrew, September 2023
Diane June 2023

“This is the second time that we have stayed in this apartment & the changes made to it are really impressive.”

Fabulous location in a wonderful town. Hope to book again next year !!

“Great location , ideal for two people”

- Nigel, May 2023
Stephen May 2023

“Everything as required for a comfortable stay.”

Bijoux property in good position with great view. Heated pool was a bonus. One minor issue was only one roll of loo paper provided but otherwise the apartment was well equipped.

- Stephen, May 2023
A July 2022

“Drop down bed a great improvement from the sofa bed, but understandably very hot and a bit claustrophobic in this exceptional weather.”

Maybe a fan would help.

- A, July 2022
Paul July 2022

“Garden and pool area overloaded morning to night with people not staying there, caught the owners letting people in and out lots of times…….”

Iv been staying here a long time I no who they are !!!! I paid over thousand pound to stay here to use these facilities we felt awkward with large groups of people……15 plus (not seen any apartments hold that many people ) I can honestly say I don’t think I will book here anymore it’s lost it’s value for money ……. There are notices in reception and in the booking pack about not letting people in. Unfair for the paying customer looking for a quite place to relax while on holiday I’m very u happy this is not stoped . This is also effecting the owners letting these properties who do not conduct such activity……

- Paul, July 2022
Colin October 2021

“The property was advertised as a one bedroom flat, but it was really a studio with a sofa bed in the lounge.”

The Sykes complaints rep considered that I mis-interpreted the description and admitted no responsibility for the mis-advertising which was most un Sykes like with customer service. However we had a pleasant stay but the advert could be further improved by explaining there was a separate small bunk bed room, which was omitted from the advert, where we could hang our clothes and store our suitcases. Hirers beware!!

- Colin, October 2021

We are sorry if the description was not clear that the apartment was a studio instead of a separate 1 bed apartment. We are pleased to be able to say that the owners have carried out extensive works over the winter and have in fact now removed the bunk room and created a separate room which contains the bed. We hope you still enjoyed your stay and hope you visit the area again soon. Coast & Country Cottages, on behalf of Property Owner
Patrick October 2021

“This was one of the best holidays we have ever had.”

The apartment was really beautiful.The location unrivalled,the view out of the window stunning.With the added bonus of a parking space.Also a space for your boat on the landing.It was that good we only left the area to go for an Indian on the Monday night.The staff at Coast and Country were brilliant key pick up and drop off.

- Patrick, October 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your comments. We were really pleased to read that the apartment was beautifully presented upon your arrival. The views are certainly spectacular. Our Salcombe office would like to thank you for your praises to our team. We work hard to ensure that we meet all of our guests’ expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Philip July 2021

“This flat is super - as always.”

The owner keeps it in top condition and continues to maintain and improve it. Luxury feel - with the best views in Salcombe. A privilege to stay there - thank you! However, the Coast And Country experience has deteriorated over the last few years. They might say its Covid related but I also imagine the fact that they have been taken over by Sykes is a significant contributor. For example now, no one to hand back keys to - just an bowl. It was a great touch point before. Phoning in can take ages too. I gave up and just email now. The website that keeps tell me that someone else is looking at the same property I might be browsing is just annoying - do they really think we're going to be hustled like that...I suppose they do. The familiar, family run, friendly service is a thing of the past.

- Philip, July 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were delighted to read that you had a lovely stay. We have passed on all your lovely comments to the owner who will be really pleased to know that the apartment was beautifully presented upon your arrival. We were terribly sorry that you felt as a company we have lost our personal touch. Unfortunately, as to minimise any potential infection a number of safety measures were put in place during the pandemic; one of which included the arrival procedure. Keys were popped into the box as to reduce any cross contamination. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. We are pleased to say that this has now been taken away and our office is back open and we look forward to welcoming you back through our door. Coast and Country Cottages on behalf of, Property Owner

“The only negative was that the bedding looked old and worn and wasn't great quality, however the décor was fresh and clean with all amentias, in the description it did not confirm they had an iron or a hairdryer so we took our own and they were there.”

Thank you

Alison May 2021

“Superb view & excellent location.”

Apartment small but had everything you needed.

- Alison, May 2021
Ian October 2020

“The balconies on these apartments should have privacy screens between each apartment plus the apartments to either side of us were occupied by smokers which meant that we needed to keep our doors shut and remain inside most of the time so we would not return here for this reason.”

- Ian, October 2020
Alan September 2020

“The property was central and had a stunning view of the harbour from the lovely generous balcony.”

- Alan, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. 35 The Salcombe really does have a stunning view. We hope we can welcome you back to the area soon. Property Owner
Helen September 2020

“Very disappointed.”

I don’t believe the description of the apartment accurately described the bedding situation. It is described as a one bed apartment stating that the living area has a double pull out bed. A very small double pull out bed that two adults could not sleep comfortably in! I would have assumed the bedroom would contain a full size double bed instead of the child size bunk beds that were present. When I requested sheets for the bunks I was told that they were not fit for adults and couldn’t be supplied that the booking was for two adults and that was what the pull out bed could accommodate - this assume a couple. I explained that even though we are a couple we could not both fit in the double sofa and would require sheets for the bottom bunk which were then supplied. The situation was totally unsatisfactory and took the shine off our few days away.

- David, September 2020
Andrew September 2020

“Listing did not mention separate bunk bed room, which was a bonus.”

Holiday details did not explain where bedding was stored, which took us a long time to find.....call to Sykes failed to solve the problem. Sink is unusually low, a problem for people with bad backs! Flat is recently done up to very high standard.

- Andrew, September 2020
Robert June 2019

“Excellent, with Marvelous view.”

One major drawback....There should be a key box at the location. It is a pain to have to weave through Salcombe narrow one way streets when anxious to get off on a long journey home.

- Robert, June 2019
Mrs Fiona Page Jul 2018

“The apartment was lovely and very clean but the double bed is a sofa bed (a very comfortable one) which was quite heavy to pull out and then a couple of bunk beds in the bedroom - ideal for family with children.”

It is a very compact apartment but for two adults there was plenty of room and had the wonderful bonus of a parking space at the property and a very nice heated swimming pool.

- Mrs Fiona Page, Jul 2018

Many thanks for your lovely review, it was pleasing to hear you had an enjoyable stay at 35 The Salcombe and particularly loved the wonderful outdoor heated swimming pool. We were grateful for your comments regarding the sofa bed, which have been noted. Thanks again for taking the time to leave your feedback - we hope to welcome you back very soon. Property Owner
