“Amazing views.”

A feeling of peace and tranquility.

A feeling of peace and tranquility. Exceeded the pictures and blurb which was already enough to sign us up but an additional plus. Thank you

“Lovely flat with superb views.”

One suggestion for a 'nice to have' would be a full length mirror in the master bedroom...

Loved the house however the kettle didn't work properly and the outlet to the shower tray was blocked so the tray filled up very quickly and nearly overflowed

Thank you for your feedback on your stay at Edinburgh House. We have passed these comments over to the owner, who have informed us that the current kettle does work properly. We do apologise for the issues you experienced in regards to the shower tray being blocked, this is not an issue that had previously been brought to our attention. However if any issues do arise during your stay we do have a Managed services team who will deal with any issues that may occur and an on call manager available outside of office hours. We hope these issues didn't taint your holiday and we hope to welcome you back to Salcombe soon. Owner relations
“Great property - location / view was even better than expected.”

Very well equipped, great clean bathrooms / kitchen and everywhere comfortable. Property however needs parking area to be levelled to allow for 2 cars and curtains could do with being hung properly in the twin room.

We are pleased that you had a great holiday at Edinburgh House in Salcombe and that the location and views were better than expected. We have passed on your comments to the owner regarding the parking and the issue with the curtains has been passed to our maintenance team. We do hope that you choose to stay with us again. The Team at Coast & Country Cottages. Owner relations

“Great property with exceptional views, and accommodation.”

2 minor observations :- 1. Downstairs bathroom inner door knob, would benefit being a handle as it is difficult to open after condensation (same comment as last year, and we had an elderly person stuck inside) 2. Blind on the end kitchen window, to provide shade on hot days.
“Fabulous house with spectacular views.”

You need to be reasonably agile for the uphill walk back from the shops and beaches, but with that in mind, would happily recommend.

Thank you for your kind review of Edinburgh House in Salcombe. We were so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay especially the stunning views along the Salcombe estuary towards Snapes Point and South Pool Creek and across to East Portlemouth beach, from each of the rooms on the front elevation and the garden/terrace. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Owner relations
“The good features are the view is even better than it looks on the website, the location of the house is excellent, the rooms are large , the kitchen is well equipped, showers excellent.”

Internet really good.Excellent amount of games and books to read. Lovely and warm and quiet. None of us wanted to go home. The minor points which would put us off going again are - needs a more thorough clean of the cobwebs around fire and bookcases, kitchen cupboard doors and utensils and microwave doors - sticky needs a good clean here. Bed in main bedroom is very narrow just about can classify it as a double bed - really needs a kingsize bed here, seating in the living room is only for 4 people - the sofa is a sofa bed so not very comfortable, the chaise is uncomfortable. Parking is tricky- a small space outside the house is for your car and the tenants upstairs - if you both have tiny cars it can be just about squeezed in, if the tenants have a van..........

Many thanks for your positive feedback regarding Edinburgh House in Salcombe and please accept our apologies for the delay in replying. We were delighted to hear how much you loved the amazing views from this popular property but disappointed to learn that the accommodation was not satisfactorily presented prior to your arrival. Please be rest assured your comments were passed on to the housekeeping team and all issues have now been rectified. Following on from your feedback in respect of the beds and furniture, we are now pleased to let you know that there is a king-sized bed in the main bedroom. The owners have also had the sofa cushions replaced to make this furniture more comfortable. There is seating for 6 people (including the chaise which many guests love the best!) and there are additional small armchairs upstairs which are portable and which tenants are free to move downstairs if they wish. Thank you again for taking the time to leave your review, we do hope to welcome you back to Salcombe very soon. Owner relations

“Absolutely fabulous view which is the highlight of this property.”

Ground floor - which includes living room and kitchen - is well appointed as is the bathroom on the first floor. The upper floor needs attention from a maintenance point of view - somewhat disconcerting to find cracks in the ceilings and covings. The cleaners were still in the property when we arrived at 3.30pm. They apologised and we were happy to wait while they finished off. The entrance lobby was littered with dead flies - not a good first impression and perhaps overlooked in the cleaners haste to leave. Parking (on the drive) is tight and we found ourselves blocked in on occasion by a Transit van belonging to the upstairs flat. These are relatively minor points given the property's nearness to the centre of Salcombe and the superb view which one cannot put a price on. Note: the agent's directions to the property state that Edinburgh House is grey. It is in fact blue.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your review of Edinburgh House in Salcombe. We were grateful for your feedback in respect of the various issues mentioned. We were sorry to hear that the entrance lobby did not give a good first impression and was followed up immediately with the cleaners concerned. Work is currently being carried out on the ceiling and covings and will be finished by the end of February 2017. The driveway has had new tarmac and *no van will be allowed to park at the property without liaison with the guests* Comments edited by Feefo* We were delighted to hear that these relatively minor points did not detract too much from your stay and that you had an enjoyable holiday taking in the superb views from the accommodation. We do hope to welcome you back again very soon. Owner relations

“Great view and we'll equipped holiday home.”
Mr A Pilcher

“A perfect property apart from the parking.”

We would rent Edinburgh House regularly but cannot park a family car on the frontage, so unless we have a smaller car with us (VW Golf) we, as a couple, will not use it. There is a solution - move the steps to beside the house, infill the old ones, level and tarmac. Relatively inexpensive. It is a 3 bed family holiday let at which you cannot park a family car, I know this is common in Salcombe, however there is an opportunity here that does not exist elsewhere at a property with a fantastic view!

Thank you for your review of Edinburgh House. We were pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable stay. We have passed your comments regarding the parking onto the owner. We hope to welcome you back to Salcombe again soon.
Following on from our recent reply, we would like to let you know that the owners thank you for your excellent suggestion and will be looking into getting this work done over the winter as they appreciate that parking can be an issue during the summer. Owner relations

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.

No pets permitted.

Due to the nature of the tiered garden, it is suggested that young children are supervised.

“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.”
