4 St Elmo Court

Interesting that your request for a review was dated 5 am just shortly after a six hour motorway drive in pouring rain !

We have stayed at 4 St Elmo several times and the only thing that has been addressed after previous comments of mine is the provision of a shower mat . The other issues would be more difficult to fix. eg no shelf or grab rail in the shower ( we are both in our eighties) no dressing table….my wife has to use the window cill for her make up mirror, the wash basin doesn’t retain water, two of the ceiling lights have come adrift in the bathroom and the door from the bedroom to the balcony is almost impossible to open or close. The blind pull in the kitchen is also broken. Also the weather took a nosedive but the c/h programmer is inaccessible. Having said all that I appreciate you only give the property a three star rating and I assume it is reflected in the rental price.

Nice property with good facilities and excellent sea view.

Great location for Salcombe. Far enough away from the centre and all the tourist congestion but close enough via a scenic sea front walk to go in whenever it suits. There is also a very nice beach with facilities just below St Elmo’s Court that is within a short 10 minute walk. We have used it 3 years running and will use it again. Do be aware that Salcombe itself is very, very busy in the main holiday weeks.

The stay at St.

Elmos Court was nothing short of magical. Firstly, the position overlooking the bay was mesmerizing each morning. A short walk down the hill to the Winking Prawn where the food was incredible along with the scenery. The pool was warm and clean and a very well-maintained area, with beautiful gardens. It was a short walk along the seashore cliff road into Salcombe. The apartment was so large and comfortable with big rooms and bath facilities. We had everything we needed. Tesco and local supermarkets delivered food here. Plenty of parking and a handy lift for the shopping. All in all, 10 out of 10 for this beautiful apartment.

Such a lovely property.

. the views from the balcony are just perfect. Our boys really enjoyed the outdoor pool and even though the weather wasn’t incredibly warm the fact that it was heated meant we could still use it. The apartment was very spacious and had everything we needed. And my little boy is immunosuppressed so we have a higher than normal tolerance to cleaning but was a nice surprise to turn up to such a clean property. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We found a pair of socks and a cosmetic tube both very visible at the foot of the bedside tables in two of the bedrooms.

the general cleanliness did not feel great but not awful either. Pool heating was a little hit or miss - great in the first few days and then got colder as the week wore on. Everyone using it was very conscious of using the pool cover too, each day and evening.

Front door lobby could do with a vacuum .

Not a good first impression .Balcony of flat has last years dead autumn leaves and cobwebs on the glass screen and one of the chairs is broken.The door to this balcony from the bedroom is nearly impossible to open/close. The basin push pull plug in the main bathroom doesn’t hold water, the shower in this bathroom has no shelf or grab rail, the kitchen sink plug as no chain making it very difficult to remove when full of water,. Last year the wardrobe in the main bed had dozens of hangers,,,,this year three! And the h/w c/h not programmable So all in all a little tired looking. We have booked it three times but maybe not again Martin

The apartment has a beautiful view overlooking North Sands beach which was buzzing with body boarders, swimmers and walkers.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stayed in this very spacious, well equipped apartment.

Roomy and lovely setting.

Will book again but hope that flat will have been upgraded by then. It is tired looking and smells musty. A bit like a student let is probably the best description with the two bean bags not looking out of place . Presumably they are there for the owners pets, as they certainly don’t provide any useful purpose for guests. The settee and cushions need upgrading and probably the carpets as well. With just a little bit of care and attention it could be perfect.

The front bathroom is obviously new but there was no shower mat on the slippery shower floor.

no shelf in the shower for products and no grab rail.....my wife is 85 and not too steady on her feet. also the spring operated wash basin plug didnt hold water and the loo flush was difficult to operate. also no spare waste bin liners for bathroom or kitchen bins. re the kitchen , the waste didnt seem to be functional on the sink and the sink itself was a little tired and scratched.having said all that we enjoyed our stay but the four star category you gave this property compared to the 5 star number 9 we stayed in was probably a true reflection of things

There was no toilet roll or hand soap in one of the bathrooms.

The EV charger information wasn't very clear and contradictory. Apart from these two points, it was a nice apartment, excellent view and great pool!

Spacious apartment in a great location walkable to beach and town.

Heated swimming pool was a plus. Interior decor is a little tired and dated, but reflected in the price. There are 2 inaccuracies in the listing, which were material to us: firstly there is no Superking size bed as described. There is an en-suite master bedroom with king bed, a 2nd room with a king bed and a single bed, then a 3rd room with bunks. The second error in the listing is stating that there are 2 EV car charging points. There ARE, but as there is no mobile signal in the carpark we found them impossible to use. The chargers are also unmarked, unclear and the info pack is not up to date. We fed this back to the agent, who were very communicative, so hopefully this will be resolved.

You are impossible to get hold of by phone….

tried twice totalling 40 minutes and your booking page didn’t have the facility to change names

Lovely apartment fantastic location.

The apartment was superb and there was nothing that could have been improved.

Spacious, comfortable and extremely well equipped. Views from large balcony stunning, location just perfect and heated swimming pool a real bonus. One of the best properties we have stayed in.

This is a spacious apartment with beautiful views of North Sands.

However, the apartment was clearly advertised as "no pets" and this was an important factor in our choice on booking. We were extremely disappointed on entering the apartment as we were met by the smell of of stale dogs, not helped by photo pictures of presumably the owner's dogs on the walls. Because of this we wouldn't book the apartment again because we expected and wanted an apartment that was pet free.

Comfortable spacious flat.

The children loved the pool

The accommodation was well equipped, comfortable and clean with outstanding views of North Sands.

However, we did have a couple of niggles. Firstly, we had to pick up our keys from a separate location. On a busy Saturday through narrow streets we could not park anywhere so went back to the park at the appartment to walk instead. A 3 mile round trip after driving 6 hours!! Only one set of keys for 2 couples. This caused problems which would have easily been solved by having a key safe at the apartment. The other annoyance was not being given an access combination code for the swimming pool. There were 2 scribbled numbers on post it notes in the apartment neither of which were correct. The current code needs to be given on the first day, not several days later! We only managed to access the pool for half of our holiday.
