“Everything you could possibly need available in this delightful little cottage.”

A big plus was the Car Park Permit which allowed us to leave the car not only in the nearby Salcombe car park without worry but also to visit surrounding towns also using the permit.
Mrs Lawrence April 2019

“It’s detailed in one of the write ups that the bed is a king - it isn’t!”

! Very much a double. To make the cottage more comfortable I think the bed should be moved so you can access both sides and remove the HUGE wardrobe, so people aren’t climbing over each other to get in and out of bed. We stayed in the cottage next door last Easter and they had this layout. Perhaps a de clutter of some furniture downstairs too to make the place feel less claustrophobic, especially if you’re supposed to be able to accommodate up to 4 and a dog. It was tight with 2 adults and a dog.
“A really well presented well fitted cottage in a convenient area.”

..main bedroom was small as was indicated at the time of booking, but cosy.
“Lovely cottage Lovely position I don't think in 2014 electricity should be charged by coins in a meter.”

I know your literature warned us about this, but it is inconvenient and dated! (Incidentally the extractor fan in the loo didn't work)
“Good”

However property is now looking and feeling extremely tired - would be nice to think that the owners should invest some of their profit back into the cottage
“Salcombe is like a second home for us and Blueboat Collage is beautiful.”

Small but perfectly formed. We will probably back. Problems - the main bed (the double) really not very comfortable - neither of us has back issues but we didn't sleep well. Wouldn't recommend for anyone with back issues especially as access from one side only. Wouldn't recommend in bad weather for a family of 4 due to size.
“Very nice and clean every thing you wanted was in the cottage.”

And the bed was very comfortable..
“The cottage was extremely nice.”

Excellent décor and we were delighted with all the amenities.
“As above”

“Blueboat cottage was a lovely place to stay in a great position, easy, flat, walk into town, with all the facitities you could need, very homely and nicely decorated with a real 'salcombe' feel.”

Kitchen had all you could need. The only down side was the position of the double bed which unfortunately touches the wall top and bottom so was not ideal for anyone tall. Other than that we had a lovely stay.

Many thanks for your kind review regarding your recent stay at Blueboat Cottage in Salcombe. We were delighted to read your comments regarding the property and so pleased that you had a lovely stay. Thank you for your valuable feedback relating to the bed location. Your comments are important to us and we will investigate, at the earliest opportunity, whether the bed can be re-positioned. We do look forward to welcoming you back to the Salcombe area very soon. Owner relations
“Ideal for purpose and comfortable”

“We absolutely loved Blueboat cottage, which is furnished and equipped to a really high quality and is in a brilliant location just a few minutes walk from the centre and the boat park.”

Our only comment is that the master bedroom doesn't need such a big wardrobe and if this was reduced in size then the bed could be swung around giving access (albeit tight) from each side, but only a minor observation as we still loved the place.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave such a kind review in respect of your recent stay at Blue Boat Cottage in Salcombe. Your kind comments regarding our service are much appreciated. We are grateful for your valuable feedback regarding the master bedroom. Due to the small nature of the property the owners have stated they wish to keep the big wardrobe for additional storage space. Looking forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe very soon.
