“We were three families with young children and found Overcombe a fabulous property.”

The property had plenty of space (especially downstairs) and was generally child friendly in most areas. In particular we found the kitchen well stocked and found that the TV room operating a TV with a full Sky subscription a very nice touch. As previous reviews have stated the views from Overcombe are fabulous. Just a lovely property for a large group. We would definitely consider returning.

“The holiday property was fabulous with plenty of room.”

We were nine adults and two children. The view was spectacular and we were able to watch the boats moving up and down the estuary and see the ferry across to east Portlemouth and down to South Sands. The house itself was walkable from the town the shortest route was down approx. 135 steps the challenge was coming up without stopping. We did have some fabulous sunshine and was surprised not to have an umbrella shade for the patio table.
“Perfect setting and facilities; well equipped However very disappointed that there seems to be no encouragement to recycle.”

Think Coast and Country should do this as part of service The bath on first floor had not been cleaned Would have liked couple of sun loungers on terrace There was no large table on terrace as in pictures Freezer had not been defrosted for our arrival Needs larger freezer for size of house

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback regarding your stay at Overcombe, Salcombe. We do encourage recycling, but it is up to each individual guest as South Hams District Council do not offer recycling facilities for holiday homes. However, for those guests who would wish to recycle there are bottle, cardboard and clothing banks opposite the entrance to the boat park (alongside the Creek Car Park). We were disappointed to hear that the property has not been properly cleaned / presented in readiness for your arrival, please be rest assured we have now followed up with the housekeeper and these issues have been addressed. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. Your comments in respect of the sun loungers have been passed on to the owners for their information. Thanks again for taking the time to leave your feedback, we hope you’ll book again with Coast & Country Cottages soon. Owner relations

“Clean property.”

Nicely decorated. Good comfy furniture. Lots of cutlery and crockery for everyone. Plenty of pots and pans to cook and serve up the food in. Clean windows to view the beautiful estuary from the house. The oven was large enough to cook Christmas Dinner for 14 people. The bedding looked new and the beds were made up before we arrived. Comfortable beds. Nice curtains . Lots of clothes hangers in every wardrobe. Very clean bathrooms. Fresh clean shower trays and clean bath tubs. Very large rubbish bin big enough for the entire week.

Thank you so much for your kind review of your Christmas break at Overcombe in Salcombe. It is wonderful to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at this lovely property - it sounds as though it suited you perfectly. Your kind words regarding both the various amenities of the house and the service provided to you by Coast & Country Cottages are much appreciated. We hope to welcome you back to this property again soon!

“Property subject to 30% price increase not reflected in overall standard.”

At re book indication was given by agent of '5star' makeover from previous years but reality was only a few new pieces of furniture and beds. Property sold as suitable for special occasions but no dressing mirrors or full length wardrobes in property. Year on year Kitchen utensils are missing (no spatulas). Rusting and unsightly toilet brush holders in many ensuites. Most frustrating is encroachment of shrubs on trees within the property's own boundary disrupting the view. You can barely see Mill Bay or smalls cove from two thirds of the ground floor certainly not a panoramic view and a diminishing return for regulars like us.

Many thanks for your feedback in respect of your recent holiday at Overcombe. Although is is disappointing to read that some items of equipment and furniture did not meet your expectations we can confirm that the property achieved an independent VisitEngland 5 Star grading following a number of changes and improvements over the Winter period. Clearly, such assessments are reviewed each year and we will forward your comments to the owner to ensure the current grading is maintained or improved if at all possible. Although there was an increase in the rental charge for this period (to reflect the investment, improvements and higher star rating) we believe the house still represents very good value at this time of year - around £20.00 per person per night - for the standard of accommodation, location and views. We appreciate that the latter may have been slightly compromised by the growth of trees and shrubs in the property grounds, and will work with the owner ensure the superb views are maintained wherever possible. In conclusion, we would like to thank you for your continued loyalty and do hope you will choose to return to Salcombe again in the not too distant future.

“Fabulous house.”

Second time we have stayed here and it was just as wonderful second time around. Hoping to come back next year. These points are not criticisms, just minor things that would be helpful to address for future guests. Feedback as follows:- The house would benefit from a few more coat hangers. The single room on the first floor has nowhere to hang clothes, not even a hook on the back of the door. Needs some gizmo to hang a jacket. Kitchen needs a tin opener (one in drawer did not work). Big green waste bin at top of drive VERY SMELLY. Sometimes the smell drifted down to the house. Quite offensive. Needs cleaning out (we would have done it but no hose). It is a gorgeous property. Very well knitted out.

Thank you for your review of Overcombe in Salcombe. We were delighted to hear that this was your second visit to this fabulous house and pleased to hear you had a wonderful stay. We were grateful for your valuable feedback in respect of certain aspects of the accommodation and have passed your comments on to our property services team. We do hope you choose to stay at Overcombe again in 2017. Owner relations

“We booked Overcombe House, as we wanted a large house to celebrate my 50th Birthday with friends and family.”

The house completely exceeded my expectations (the photos don't do it justice). Such breath taking views from the terrace, kitchen, lounge and front bedrooms. The garden, although hardly used, was well maintained, with the trees trimmed so as not to hide the views The owners have recently invested in some tables and chairs for the terrace, so there is plenty of seating (the photos don't show this) All the rooms in the house were bright and fresh, and was commented by all as to what a delight it was to stay in. Even with 14 of us, we felt there was plenty of room The kitchen was huge, with a great communal table, plenty of fridge space (for all the Champagne!), large cooker and plenty of work surfaces. The utility room was a bonus with a washing machine, separate tumble dryer and lots of hanging space for coats, wetsuits and beach towels. This wasn't a holiday house, it became a second home... so sad to leave! Note to Coast & Country; this is a great house to have on your books. Don't lose it. We'll definitely be booking again

Thank you so much for your review of Overcombe in Salcombe. Many congratulations for your 50th birthday! We were delighted to read that this lovely property ensured you had such a fantastic celebration with your friends and family. It is always sad to leave when you’ve had a wonderful holiday but it is lovely to hear that you are planning to return again soon! We look forward to welcoming you back.

“Only 2 points let it down.”

1. No tin opener. 2. No spare toilet roll. Everything else was perfect.

We were grateful for your valuable feedback regarding the property and have already purchased a replacement tin opener. We were very sorry for any inconvenience caused. It is our standard policy to have properties supplied with basic materials, including at least one toilet roll per bathroom. Any further spare items would be at the discretion of each owner. We do hope you had a lovely holiday at Overcombe and look forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe in the near future. Owner relations

“Fabulous house that has to have one of the best views in Salcombe.”

This view,however, is about to be lost if the trees in the garden are not trimmed . As a party of 14, we struggled with only one regular sized kettle and toaster. Fabulous holiday.

We were grateful for your valuable feedback regarding the property and have passed on your comments to the owners. Looking forward to welcoming you back to the Salcombe area very soon.
