“We only gave the cleanliness a less than perfect rating because of what was effectively a couple of relatively minor issues, which I might add were you reacted to almost immediately with an an unexpected phone call on the Sunday.”

The cottage was perfectly located and very well appointed. Our stay was very comfiortable and we would not hessitate to return.

“We were a little disappointed with the cleanliness of the property, particularly in these particular times.”

We had to have a good clean ourselves when we got there! Hoovering the floor and wiping sticky doors etc, it was a shame because we normally have such a good experience. The house itself was fantastic and would absolutely stay again.

“House perfect for us small size living room but big enough to watch th Tv at night when the kids were asleep.”

The wow was the huge kitchen diner fully fictional Kitchen with every appliance you need a kitchen table that sat 4 adults and 4 kids no Problem at all with a sofa and a tv. Garden tidy full of plants which stops the sun getting in but your not on holidays to sit in a back garden. Parking for 1 car but a car park with weekly ticket available (can use in other car parks in the area)only 5 min walk away would recommend for fordlea to everyone

“Lovely house and good position.”

Only downside was only two bathrooms for 8 people but could deal with it. Had a lovely holiday at Fordlea and would recommend it and go back ourselves
“Great house.”

Great location. Nice decor and facilities. Shame there wasn't a loo on the top floor. Also the door to the loft terrace didn't work properly and was very tricky to open and close.
“Good”
“Excellent location.”

Lovely clean house - well laid out. Would benefit from opening skylights in the kitchen to let the flies out but otherwise no complaints!
“Good position and lovely house”
“Nice property, well maintained.”

Good value.

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.

All bed linen and towels are supplied. You will need to bring your own beach towels.
