“Possibly make it known that it is very steep round there and it would be difficult for people with limited mobility”

- Mr Bowyer, September 2020
“Very nice accommodation at the top of the town.”

Missing a few minor touches that would make the cottage perfect. BBQ is basic, would expect a higher quality gas BBQ for the cost. Also lacks kitchen utensils including no BBQ long tongues or burger flipper.

- Mr Nixon, August 2020
“This is 3rd year at Blackstone Cottage and hope to go back next year, it’s just perfect for us, as we have a dog the enclosed garden is such a big plus.”

- Mrs Potts, July 2020
“Great house.”

Spacious but cosy. A real bonus to have a separate utility room. Lovely garden and room for 2 cars. Fab location too. We loved it and hope to return.

- Mr Woolhouse, October 2019
“Loved the fact that the layout of the house enabled 2 couples to have a really high quality week together whilst still having our own space and facilities.”

Bit of a walk down to the town but didn't mind that. Well equipped kitchen. My only request would be better support for re-cycling. We recognise council does not collect from property, so took ours down to the Co-op car park every few days. It would be great if you could provide suitable bins and take to recycle centre after a client stays. This would encourage the right behaviour from all.

- Mr Harris, September 2019
“The cottage was fine but two things really 1 cottage is situated on a junction of 4 roads so very hard to see to reverse into road.”

Somebody had to guide cars out. Also because of angle of road could not reverse to be facing away from town which meant you had to always go through town to get out of Salcombe. Little thing but annoying. 2 notice in the cottage about not leaving your dog alone in the cottage should be included in the general description on the web site. We did not need to leave our dog alone but I think this should be made clear at time of booking.

- Mrs Holle, June 2019

“Really nice house in a good location for us near the beaches and the town, all walkable.”

The garden is nice, and a good size. The access for the car is a bit tight but with care it is not too bad. Inside, the rooms are all good, clean with more than enough amenities.

“Lovely house, well furnished, nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable.”

Good location for town and for North Sands. Building work next door was quite noisy but apart from that we would recommend a stay here.

“A lovely cottage with everything we needed and great for the dogs.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean. We would have appreciated a television in the kitchen / diner as this was the room we used mor e than the garden room. The building works next door did not affect us at all but we glad that you had told us in advance. A good holiday was had by all.

- Mrs G Anthony,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review of Blackstone Cottage in Salcombe. We were delighted to hear that you had a pleasant stay in this lovely cottage. Thank you for your feedback regarding the television, we will pass this on to the owners for their information. Looking forward to welcoming you back in the future.

“Blackstone Cottage was beautifully clean and well appointed.”

We were very glad we had been warned beforehand of the building work next door ... it is a shame that the new building does take away some of the privacy in the garden but it did not impact on our holiday. Coast and Country were extremely helpful, answering all our queries, even sending me a birthday gift and card, nothing was too much trouble! The cottage itself is very comfortable - the downstairs bathroom has been updated and it looks lovely plus the new carpet in the garden bedroom is a welcome addition. The walled garden is sunny and our dog loved it! Parking is a fantastic bonus in Salcombe and meant we could easily go out for the day without ever having the worry of where to park on our return. We can thoroughly recommend Blackstone Cottage as a warm and comfortable home in which to stay.

“See comments above which explains our stay”

- Mrs Diane Capon,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback in respect of your recent stay at Blackstone Cottage in Salcombe. We were pleased to hear that the property fulfilled your expectations. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by the gardeners. The work was scheduled for a changeover day by the owners, but there was a misunderstanding. We left you a voicemail in an attempt to inform you of this error. The heavier work, such as the removal of the garden shed, was then delayed until after your departure. We trust that you had an enjoyable stay in spite of this issue and hope to welcome you back to Salcombe soon.

About the location

SALCOMBE

Kingsbridge 7 miles; Dartmouth 21 miles; Plymouth 24 miles; Paignton 26 miles.

Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking, including the South West Coast path.

One well behaved pet permitted.

“Please be aware, due to the nature of the town, several of our properties are situated up hills. Please contact our reservations team if you would like more information about the location of this property.”
