Edinburgh House

Beautiful place, staggering views, idyllic, what’s not to like!

Another amazing year in this incredible house.

The location and views can’t be beaten. The house is spacious & has everything you could need. We are already looking forward to next year at Edinburgh house.

We have returned to this gem of a property every since we discovered it 4 years ago.

We are regulars to Salcombe and have stayed in many properties for over 30 years. Edinburgh House is my current favourite. Unparalleled views but not too far from the town. Well equipped, spacious, lovely garden and outdoor space with views on all directions and it has parking! What now could you want. We are heading back in July.

Fantastic place for a relaxed week away.

The property itself is bright and airy with large rooms and one of the best views out across the river and surounding countryside. The mixture of modern and aged furniture coupled with the art pieces and small ceramics give the home a wonderful character that feels more like a place to live and enjoy than a showroom. We have stayed in many cottages and have never had such a well equipped kitchen, literally everything we could possibly need to prepare and cook delicious meals - so much provided rather than the single frying pan and two baking sheets that seem to be the norm elsewhere. Its position on the hill allow it the excellent views and a reasonable degree of quietness and privacy while being only a few minutes walk down interesting side streets and alleys into the heart of the town. Be warned, though, that the walk back up is certainly a workout. The only small point to be made is that the parking provided is tight. Our car is medium sized and just about fit in the available space - large vehicles would definitely struggle! Already planning for a return next year.

Another excellent week at Edinburgh House.

Many thanks to all

This was our third annual visit, and as before, everything was wonderful and we were very sad to have to come home yesterday.

We hope to be back next year!

Fantastic property - very highly recommended.

Lovely, traditional and comfortable property.

Very spacious, bright and with amazing views. Nice it was Dog-free, as I have allergy and few properties are these days. Only slight downside was parking space outside which we found tight, but would not stop us from booking again. Thank you.

Amazing place, the best we have stayed in in this country.

There was everything we could possibly need and more and of course the position and views were out of this world. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful place to stay.

Every possible piece of kitchen equipment you would need. Beautiful view. Only down side is we didn’t realise what a steep climb it was from the shops. Should have guessed from how high it was from the photos. Also would have liked a bit wider grass area outside the living room door maybe a wooden deck. But it was beautiful and hope to return when hip has been replaced. Ha ha

We had a wonderful stay at Edinburgh House.

The views are breathtaking, and the various seating options, inside & out, to enjoy them were fantastic. We have never stayed anywhere where the kitchen has everything you could possibly need and more. Seating in the lounge area was really comfy with blankets provided which made the colder evenings cosy. The main bedroom is huge, plenty of storage for clothes but we weren't comfortable in the bed. We feel this was due to a lot of give in the mattress and in some places we could feel the springs. We only used the rain shower upstairs and it was fantastic with plenty of water pressure. It was lovely to have such a huge selection of books as well as dvds & games. The only other improvement we can think of, apart from a change of mattress, is a smart tv.

Fantastic place would happily come back again.

Very nice property with relaxed atmosphere.

We enjoyed all the personal added details and book choice. Kitchen was very thoughtfully kitted out with everything we could need and generous provision of cleaning supplies. We would be very happy to return.

A lovely house and the view is amazing in all weathers

A beautiful location with outstanding views.

The house itself is spacious, comfortable & provides everything you could need in terms of facilities. We hope to return many times in the coming years.

We were delighted with all our needs being met at Edinburgh House, everything was above and beyond our expectations.

So generous and thoughtful to leave all the basics in the store cupboard. Thank you we hope to visit again next year. The Raeburn family.

We tried to contact you by email and phone early on in our holiday to express our concerns and no one got back to us throughout our stay.

Our complaint had been assigned to a lady called Stephanie but we didn’t hear back from her. Our issues were therefore unresolved and the customer service absolutely disgusting.

We have stayed in Edinburgh House numerous times and sadly it hasn’t changed much over the years - the shower still leaks, the kitchen door leaks when it rains, the living room furniture is pretty appalling and the number of cobwebs is amusing!

It is in great need of an update! The kitchen however is well stocked and the beds are comfy. The main reason we go back is the spectacular view. An evening meal in the kitchen with that view is priceless, you wouldn’t find better in any of the restaurants in town!

It was not very clean - windows and floors looked like they had not been cleaned, and internal cutlery cupboard was greasy and dirty, also soft furnishing was very dirty.

Lovely large accommodation with breathtaking views.

The kitchen was very well equipped, the bedrooms spacious and comfortable and the lounge was wonderful to spend time relaxing and watching the world go by. A great deal of thought has gone into equipping this property to cater for wet days when more time might be spent indoors.

House was very well equipped.

Photos don't do the property justice. Amazing views from lounge, master bedroom amd kitchen. Lovely little garden to have brekkie in and watch the view. Furniture in lounge needs updating. Lots of toys, books and games and dvds to keep the family busy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

A really fabulous house.

The views are outstanding, with the whole Salcombe estuary from the creeks to the sea visible from the living room, kitchen dining area, front bedroom, balcony and garden. The house is really spacious and furnished with interesting, individual items. There is an impressive selection of books to delve into. The kitchen and equipment are of a very good quality, as are the bathrooms. A slight quibble would be the arm chairs and sofa in the living room, which could be more comfy.

Edinburgh House was very clean, comfortable and well equipped.

We loved the location and the magnificent views. We did feel, however, that the upstairs bedrooms could do with an update as well as the TV. Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to come back.

We adore staying at Edinburgh house ( this was our 6th stay).

To make our next stay as perfect as possible please could you... please leave the hot water ON not OFF ( fortunately spotted ahead of bath time) and whilst it did not appear to impair function would it be too much to ask that the dishwasher has some salt and rinseaid in it? How can it not be on your checklist? When the big picture is perfect we end up noticing the small stuff. Had an excellent week and appreciated your COVID preparedness advice.

The views are spectacular from the comfort of the house so if weather isn’t good there is no need to leave the house.

The parking is very tight and this was with two cars. The walk is down steep hills but if you pace yourself is manageable. I would definitely recommend Edinburgh house for views, comfort and being near the main town.

The house is really well equipped and the views are unbelievable.

It's convenient for all of the shops, beaches, pubs and restaurants of Salcombe. The house is comfortable without being too pristine so we could relax and didn't feel we were living in a show home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great holiday with an amazing apartment.

Had minor problem with a leaking shower but fixed straight away! Perfect!

A fabulous place to stay, homely and comfortable with an unforgettable view.

Very handy for walking down into town and catching the little ferry. Would highly recommend.

Edinburgh House far exceeded our expectations.

We had a wonderful trip and loved everything about the house and the town of Salcombe. Can't wait to return next year!

Amazing views.

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

Excellent facilities, very comfortable with superb views of Salcombe.

Excellent location and a very comfortable holiday home

SPLENDID LOCATION EVEN THOUGH IT RAINEDEVERY DAY THE VIEWS WERE STILL OUTSTANDING

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!

Great view and we'll equipped holiday home.

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.

Beautiful house, very well equipped. Appreciated personal welcome form owners un the house pack. Jigsaws, games and history of the house and it's paintings a lovely story to hear. Generally clean.

Please pass on my thanks to the owners. A fantastic house, wonderful views, good location and well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. Thank you

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..........

Absolutely loved this house. Great sized rooms, beautiful views, well stocked house. Also a very short walk to town. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone.

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.

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.

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.

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

Lovely flat with superb views. One suggestion for a 'nice to have' would be a full length mirror in the master bedroom...

Beautiful house. Well equipped. Gorgeous views...

Excellent
