“The property was clean, the 'attic' sitting room was really comfortable and cosy with lovely views.”

The location is good just a few steps from the town and the car park. However, the shower was a disappointment with extremely poor water flow (a booster pump could easily solve this) and somewhere to put bathing toiletries other than the floor (it cannot be assumed everyone uses products in plastic bottles) would be useful. Obviously the horrible weather played a part, but we found the kitchen rather dismal and cancelled an arrangement with some friends to come to dinner. The pans are poor ...

Obviously the horrible weather played a part, but we found the kitchen rather dismal and cancelled an arrangement with some friends to come to dinner. The pans are poor quality and we couldn't use the kitchen knives as the paint was peeling off them. The weather also deterred us from a trip across the yard to use the 'utility room'.

“Fantastic town”

“All in all very good location and standard of accommodation.”

If there was any improvement at all perhaps a little updating of the property as it is quite dated, but this definitely didn't stop us enjoying the stay.

“We had previously stayed in this property 20 years ago.”

Although there had been some changes new beds and lounge furniture it was basically the same. However we only changed properties 20 years ago as we needed something bigger. This property is well situated and had everything we needed. There was plenty of hot water and its location is excellent. We would be happy to stay here again.

“8 Church Street is a lovely place to stay - very homely, very clean, plenty of space, very well equipped and in a fabulous location.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our week and will be back! Our only suggestion would be to possibly make more of the small yard, yes it's in shade but we felt it could possibly be improved so it could be more usable - maybe a small area of fake grass or shingle or decking (plastic so not slippy) with the table and chairs on and paint or cover the walls to make it feel more loved as the house obviously is.
Ms Yates April 2019

“Easy to book and staff are friendly.”

The cottage we stayed in was amazing and very clean and tidy. We are actually going to book again for later this year same place
“Lovely location, lovely cottage, has everything you need.”

Only drawback is kitchen on ground floor and lounge on the top floor - don't forget to take everything up with you. Views are great though. Has everything you need and central for the wander into town.

Thanks for your feedback in respect of 8 Church Street. We were pleased to hear you loved the views from the property and you had everything needed for your stay. We hope to welcome you back again. Owner relations

“Excellent location.”

House very clean and well equipped. Utility area with hanging space and outside tap very useful for wetsuits and clothes drying. Airing cupboard a bonus too. Only (slight) negatives: carpet a little tired; stairs up to the attic sitting room are very steep - fine for us but could be a struggle for the very young or old.

Many thanks for taking the time to review 8 Church Street. We were delighted to read that you loved the property’s central location. We trust that you had an enjoyable holiday in Salcombe and hope you choose to visit again soon.

“A good compromise for cost, facilities and position.”

We had no transport so position pretty good for the bus nd situation meant not too many hills to go up and down for shops, harbor etc. Very pretty top sitting room with views. Bedrooms reasonable. Would have benefitted perhaps from having a comfortable chair in the kitchen when cooking as sitting room too far when preparing meals. Pleasantly surprised at end of first week when bed-changers appeared - haven't experienced this in self-catering before. Management of replacement dishwasher also done with minimum disruption to us. Bathroom and shower room also made good use of space and the airing cupboard in the bathroom a bonus. Utility room also useful and kept noise of washing machine to a minimum. Back yard a bit dark, making kitchen dark. perhaps insert some light reflecting feature to brighten things up such as paint walls white or add old CDs to catch light.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your valuable feedback in respect of your stay at 8 Church Street in Salcombe. We were grateful for your comments which have been passed on to our Property Services Team and do hope you had an enjoyable holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe soon.

“The property was pretty well situated for all our needs and size wise was good.”

What was of concern was the fact that the property appears to be suffering from severe damp problems in the downstairs bedroom, leaving it smelling damp and unpleasant at times. The smell also seems to permeate upstairs into the double bedroom. The outside light switch gave one of our children a small shock so clearly needs to be tested and the drain in the shower room shower was blocked. We sorted this out ourselves by purchasing some crystals and clearing the drain. What would also be a real bonus would be to have a tumble dryer. The weather was a little poor at times and it was therefore difficult to dry anything.

Many thanks for your feedback in respect of our service and your recent stay at 8 Church Street in Salcombe. We were sorry but grateful to read your comments regarding the property. These comments have now been fed back to the owner who will be looking at this over the next few days. Please be advised that there is not severe damp at the property - there was a water leak which has been rectified - however the wall took a while to dry out. Thank you, once again, for your valuable feedback. We do hope you choose to stay with us again. Owner relations
“Good location, well equipped and very clean.”
