“A couple of minor issues which were really quickly resolved by C&C.”

1) Bedroom One blind, 2) Bathroom towel rail. Overall fantastic service by C&C.

1) Bedroom One blind, 2) Bathroom towel rail. Overall fantastic service by C&C. The one niggle was the heating system. We found the house continually cold and this dampened the week. Literally. I would like to note that we did not fiddle with the heating controls as instructed and concluded that the system was not very good. Otherwise. A lovely holiday home that was perfectly located and had great facilities. We loved renting it for the week.

- Mr Convey, October 2020

Thank you for your review. We were very happy to hear that you were pleased with our response to maintenance issues you reported to us. It is however disappointing to hear that you had some trouble with the heating system. We haven't had any other reports of heating problems, and the system was checked after your review and no faults found. We do have 24 hour assistance for any maintenance issues of this nature. It was fantastic to hear that you had a great week, and we hope that we can welcome you to area again soon. Owner relations

“The cottage is in an excellent position for any person wanting to explore Salcombe and the surrounding countryside.”

The private parking is an absolute treat in the town centre. The outdoor shower is very good for dogs and wetsuits. The dog gate in the utility is a simple, yet effective way to retain wet animals. All kitchen appliances are present, along with plenty of cutlery and crockery. It’s not suitable for a family with toddlers due to access via steps and lack of private garden. All in all and good choice... thank you.

“House was not clean.”

Kitchen equipment all needed cleaning before use due to general layer of dirt / grease. bathrooms needed cleaning. general layers of dust everywhere. food down sides of cushions on sofas and seats. empty bottles and cans under seating inside and outside. dishwasher doesn't fit properly, hence can't open door to use. fridge doesn't fit in the space so door doesn't naturally shut. fans in bathrooms don't work, so damp. Velux windows in bathroom and utility both leak resulting in damp feeling throughout the living space. nice enough house and position, but needs a lot more care and attention. given the costs charged, I expect a great deal more.

- Mr Porter, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay. We're so sorry to hear that you found issues with the cleanliness upon arrival, we work very hard with our owners and individual cleaners/caretakers to ensure all properties are clean, tidy and well presented before the arrival of holiday guests and we are sorry that these checks did not highlight the issues you have raised. It is disappointing that you did not contact us with these cleanliness and maintenance issues during your stay as we have most certainly been able to rectify most of this for you. We hope you enjoyed your time in Salcombe and hope to welcome you again soon. Owner relations

“Great cottage.”

Location in the centre of Salcombe might be a bit noisy in high season but excellent when I was there.

- Ms J Elliott, Mar 2017

Many thanks for leaving your feedback regarding Dory Cottage. We were pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay in this lovely property, being only five minutes' walk to Salcombe's waterfront, boutiques and restaurants. Although we agree that the area does get busier, with increased footfall during high season, the property does feel very away from it all due to its elevated location - well above the street . We do hope to welcome you back to Salcombe very soon!

Following on from our recent posting, the owner would like to thank you for your comments and wanted to add that Dory Cottage has the benefit of full double glazing. We do hope to welcome you back to Salcombe very soon! Owner relations

The property

Dory Cottage is a delightful three storey cottage in a fabulous spot on Island Street in picturesque Salcombe, just a five-minute level walk from the town’s quayside, shops and restaurants.

Providing an excellent base, accommodating a family or group of up to six friends in three double bedrooms, guest at Dory Cottage can experience all of Salcombe’s highlights before enjoying a relaxing evening on the sun terrace.

Accessed via two flights of steps up from Island Street – where there is garage parking for one car - the entrance leads directly into the open-plan living accommodation with a comfortable L-shaped sofa and smart TV. Beyond this is the stylish yet traditional kitchen/dining area.

Adjacent is a family bathroom and a utility, opening onto a rear yard with outdoor hot-water shower and wetsuit hanging area, with footpath access to Church Street. On the first floor is a family shower room and three cosy bedrooms; The master bedroom has a 5’ king size bed and Smart TV, the second bedroom can either be arranged with 2 x 2'6" single beds or a 5' king size bed on request, whilst the third, smaller double room has a 4'6" bed.

A steep narrow ladder staircase leads up to the second-floor attic den, offering views to Batson’s Creek, along with a large floor sofa and a TV.

Outside, the cottage has two terrace areas at the front of the property – complete with a BBQ and a waterproof cushioned sofa.

Salcombe is the ideal holiday destination for anyone who loves to be beside the sea - walk the coastal paths, head out sailing or try crabbing!

The seaside villages of Hope Cove and Thurlestone are a short drive away, whilst the family attraction Woodlands Theme Park is a 25-minute drive.

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.

This property accepts a maximum of 6 people including infants.

Dory Cottage is most suited to families with school age children or active adults looking for a cosy cottage conveniently based in the heart of the town. It is not suitable for children under the age of five or anyone with a mobility impairment because it has two flights of steps from the garage to the front door, a steep narrow ladder staircase to an attic den and there is insufficient space for cots in the bedrooms.

Children will require appropriate adult supervision due to road access, ladder staircase and elevated terraces.
