Anchor Cottage

We loved Anchor Cottage having stayed next door in Crab Cottage in July!

Anchor Cottage has a lovely open plan living area which works so well. We struggled with the Esse at first (even though we have an Aga at home!) but after a while mastered the knack of dealing with it and making it possible to cook and keep the room warm! The beds were very comfortable too. My only criticism, and I realise it is a very personal observation!, is that I hate the mugs! There is something about their ‘texture’ that does not work with me! Sorry! Other than that it was a wonderful stay and we would love to come again after Christmas sometime.

very nice cottage in handy location, well equipped , clean and tidy, have styed here a few times now, managed to squeeze my SUV onto to the parking space also !

The bed in the top room was quite soft and I had a bad back by the end of the stay.

Otherwise, all was good.

Excellent location.

Anchor cottage has everything you need for a great break in beautiful Salcombe. Would highly recommend!

We loved the cottage, it is comfortable, cosy and in a good location.

Our only complaint was over the Esse cooker. The instructions left by the owner were to turn the heat up to required temperature for cooking and press boost button which they suggested would take 15 minutes, but actually took longer. If you fancy cooked breakfast it is a long wait to begin cooking. The oven reverts to preset temperature quickly so difficult to cook a casserole or baked potato unless you remember to keep boosting. The second night we hadn’t realised the pilot light had gone out until we noticed nothing was happening and needing to feed the children, had to eat out. The Esse manual says that like any new cooker it will take time to get used to - difficult when on a week’s holiday. The agent provided a table top oven with two plates which was very helpful.

It was delightful !

Warm and cosy, very comfortable and convenient for all amenities, we loved it and will return, many thanks, made our holiday special ❤️

Lovely cottage, only one small issue, the mattress on the bed on the top level was not the most comfortable.

This is not meant as a criticism just an observation.

Overall the property was lovely and very much as expected given the description.

The only significant issue I would draw attention to is the outside space. It seemed quite neglected, with garden debris (leaves, moss etc) and dirty chairs and table. A small amount of TLC would make this area a much more pleasant space to be.

Fantastic property.

The best we've stayed in at Salcombe. Fantastic location and beautiful appointed. We'll definitely be staying again! Thanks so much.

Fabulous property!

Loved everything about it. Best rental in Salcombe to date everything you could possibly need is available.

We love the property, we come every year and really enjoy it, however I do feel the house could have a deep clean, as I did notice dust in higher areas, and underneath the sofa was dirty as well.

We’ve noticed the tablecloth has been the same and has never been changed - we’ve been coming for a few years now and know they get smelly after a while. Could also replace rug in the lounge area! But overall we had a lovely stay and will definitely be coming back!

Arrived Thursday 9th May leaving 10am 15th May.

Unfortunately on arrival the Wi Fi was not working which unfortunately caused a lot of frustration and inconvenience and time sorting it out. The staff at the Skye office who I must say were very helpful in this matter. They managed to get me connected to the adjacent property on Saturday afternoon as the Wi Fi for the cottage could not be fixed till Monday 13th May. We expected in good faith when booking that all the advertised facilities on offer would be in full working order. So I would suggest in future these should be checked in advance so has not to inconvenient other future holiday tenants . Parking was a plus but note there is no turning point so you do have to reverse along a narrow entrance before pulling out into the road. The steep steps to the rear garden would benefit from a hand rail. The location of the cottage is well placed to the centre which is a plus.

Lovely property perfect location.

Washing machine broke down after three days, was staying for two weeks, so had to hand wash and go to kingsbridge to laundrette which was not ideal with two small children also could do with a tumble dryer, the oven was very complicated to use, could do with a bigger freezer , would benefit in the garden some rails to get up into the garden as the steps were very deep and nothing to hang onto so my husband could not access it.

Other than that the house was pleasant to stay in and we had a good time.

Fantastic cottage in a great location, well equipped.

Esse aga took a bit of getting used to! Would definitely rebook.

We had a wonderful holiday in Salcombe and Anchor Cottage was a lovely base.

Its proximity to all the amenities was excellent. We arrived on the evening of the Regatta fireworks and we had a fantastic view from the window of the top floor. Unfortunately , due to the heatwave we couldn't appreciate the views as we had to have the curtains closed for the rest of our stay. A fan would be a bonus. The oven took a little bit of getting used to, but was fine in the end.

Would be nice to have a downstairs loo.

We loved the cottage feel of the property, which was well appointed with a lovely patio & enough outside space for seaside gear.

We found the beds very comfortable with nice bedding. Good functional bathrooms but would appreciate somewhere to put soap or shower gel & shampoo in the showers. Because of the cold spell we found the set temperature was inadequate on the ground floor, but fine in the upstairs bedrooms. The stairs are steep which the occupants need to take into consideration if children are staying. Our 89year old managed but would have appreciated a ground floor loo. We did appreciate the parking space.

We had a lovely stay and would be very happy to stay again at Anchor Cottage.

It is very comfortable, with plenty of character and an easy walk of 5/10 minutes into the the town center. Only 1 suggestion, regarding the steps into the property, would be to have a handrail to assist those with slightly less mobility getting up and down the steps. We look forward to visiting again!

A lovely, relaxing week in this delightful cottage.

Extremely clean on arrival, comfortable and very well equipped. Located very close to the estuary and the cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops. Highly recommended.

We have really enjoyed our week in Salcombe and Anchor Cottage.

The location of the cottage has meant we have been able to enjoy the lovely weather and easily explore the beautiful beaches and cliff walks and the town without having to use the car. The cottage has everything you would need for a comfortable break in a great location, great facilities, would definitely recommend

Beautiful cottage and a lovely stay.

Incredibly well kitted out and really comfortable. Fantastic location with a good size parking space. Loved every minute.

Anchor cottage is in an excellent situation and the house itself has excellent facilities and good room sizes, and we were very comfortable there for the week.

When we saw what we had previously identified as other potential cottages in Salcombe we were really pleased we had chosen Anchor cottage. Yes, the parking space is on the small size, but we have an MPV and managed to park it there, and any property with parking in Salcombe is a bonus. You should be aware however that there is no possibilty of turning, so you need to reverse your car about 30 yards down a lane to the main road. All in all it is an excellent cottage which we would thoroughly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday thankyou.

We had a lovely holiday at Anchor Cottage.

It was comfortable, well equipped and in a good location for exploring Salcombe. We would definitely recommend and look forward to a return trip.

Anchor cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our holiday in a handy location , with even a parking space (gold dust in Salcombe!

)

The cottage was very clean, comfortable and cosy, very nice to come home to after being out all day walking etc.

Absolutely lovely cottage, everything you could want provided inside.

Very small parking space but car park nearby.

good location and lovely cottage, however as this can accommodate six the parking is an issue with guests having to park in long stay car park that needs to be topped up daily it would be nice for guest if needed to park in car park to have a permit for the week

This is a very nice property, in a fabulous location.

Parking is very tight, as it is in all of Salcombe, and in practical terms, the only way to access the parking space is to reverse in from Shadycombe Road. There's a problem with water pressure in this property. Basically, the pressure is poor and although there are two showers, it's not possible to run them at the same time, or indeed flush the toilet or run a tap when someone is in the shower, which is a bit irritating in a house which sleeps 6. The other thing that was a bit disappointing was that there's no bath, only showers. In terms of being dog friendly, it is great that the owners allowed us to bring our dog, and the little utility room was ideal for her to sleep in, but be aware that it's not possible to let your dog out into the courtyard area as it's not enclosed so you will need to take your dog out in person, on a lead, every time they need to go out

A lovely house and really good space for the four of us.

It was so close to the centre and at the bottom of the hill. We’ve been coming to Salcombe for decades and it was one of the very best places we have stayed. The garden space was way better than the photos and perfect for evenings with friends and family.
