“A lovely cottage that was clean and very welcoming on arrival made even better with a twinkling Christmas tree.”

We were slightly concerned because some reviews said the property wasn't clean or was tired in places but we didn't find this and we are particular! The cottage is warm and cosy and has everything you need for a lovely holiday and is a particularly nice property for Christmas. It is in a really excellent location and is set up well above street level. The additional bonus of a large garage that comes with the property is a rare find in Salcombe. ...

The bed in the master bedroom is firm and perhaps not to everyone's taste, the same with the pillows. The settee is quite soft but these are very minor points and a very personal view. None of this would stop us from booking again. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

“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.

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 property - Our 5th time in Salcombe and Dory cottage stood out as one of the best places we’ve stayed - Nothing showbiz, yet stands privately with an elevated aspect, is well appointed and hugely practical.”

The owners have added many things to just make the place work for them (e.g. outdoor shower and drip/hanging areas) and their guests (dog gate/guard in utility, washing/drying facilities, etc.) The garage beneath provides extremely convenient and safe location even for larger cars. Kids loved having their own ‘den’ area in the attic room, which is accessed from the landing and not the garage as the listing suggests! Overall a very comfortable and enjoyable stay in October. In Summer there might be more noise from Island Street, yet the terraces would surely be excellent for BBQ/entertaining.

“Both Bathrooms were not cleaned to the standard we are used to.”

We are sorry to hear that the bathrooms at Dory Cottage were not presented satisfactorily on your arrival. Should you have made us aware we would have arranged for the housekeeping team to attend straight away. We are sorry for any inconvenience this caused, and hope that despite this issue, you were able to enjoy your time at the property and in Salcombe. UPDATED NOV 2019 - The Owners now have got a new cleaning team in place. Owner relations

“This was our second visit to Dory cottage having visited at the same week in 2018 and whilst the cottage is comfortable and ideally situated it is very evident that the cottage would benefit from a thorough deep clean, in particular doors and all the glossed paintwork are badly marked and covered with a large build up of dust, and the inside of the oven is not something I would wish to cook food in as there is a large build up of grease.”

That said it’s lovely and we have booked for next year but hope that the finer details mentioned are acted upon.

Many thanks for your feedback, although we were concerned to read that the property was not satisfactorily presented prior to your arrival. As you will appreciate, we work very hard with our owners and housekeepers to ensure high standards of cleanliness are maintained. Your feedback has been passed on to the cleaner concerned and we will request that the particular cleanliness issues you have mention are focused upon. For your future holiday please feel free to report any issues to ourselves upon arrival and we will address them as soon as we can to reduce any impact in you holiday. We are glad that you had an enjoyable holiday in spite of the issues raised and look forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe in the not too distant future. Owner relations

“We had a brilliant stay at Dory Cottage.”

Location is perfect, the cottage exceeded our expectations. It was so lovely, everything had been thought of. The attic den room was a hit with my boys. Even Dolly our Pug had a great time. Thanks for having us.

“Great cottage.”

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

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
