Well equipped , comfortable accommodation in a great location but really needs a fence to ensure that dogs and children are secure in the rear garden

“Fabulous property.”

Very comfortable beds. Nice and warm even in February. Great enormous kitchen/dining/sitting in big room at back. Amazing views too floor double. Very sunny aspect sitting room and master bedroom too. Bathrooms modern. Car parking is a huge bonus and we left larger car in Bonfire Car Park as you come into Salcombe on the left for a very small daily rate.

“Property was exactly as described.”

..although I took my own cooking equipment the kitchen was very well equipped..garden will be lovely in the summer with the doors open, but guest with young children be aware there is a alleyway running down the side...yes I would recommend this property .

“Lovely place all you could want near to Salcombe Main Street easy walking distance with shops, pubs.”

Lovely and warm with all facilities. Would have appreciated a television in the kitchen/dining area. Also the back garden not secure for small children and or pets as previous reviewer mentioned. Wall is not very high with a side passage adjacent to this. Easy to step right into back garden. A side door leading off this passage would benefit from a bolt for extra security.

“Great holiday home.”

Very clean, every thing you need to make your stay comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and and has all the equipment you might every want. Excellent location in Salcombe, only negative is the parking, the drive is small we have a Peugeot 208, it still hanged over the drive. Have to pay for parking in town We thought the TV in the lounge, was a smart TV so could access our Netflix and Amazon accounts, but its not connected to WIFI, there's a sky box and remote which doesn't work? Would absolute go again

“A lovely house to stay in a great place to holiday, well equipped, great location.”

We feel relaxed after returning from a weeks holiday. Couple of things to note, car parking is not great, if you cannot fit your ‘small’ car in the front of the house the surrounding area in the street is either permit or double yellows, parking is then available about 5mins away, and payable - bit of a potch! At the back/side of the house there is a gully which is accessible and open to the garden, we had a couple of occasions where people used the gully and were practically in the garden, a bit worrying if you have children or a dog - would be great if a fence could be erected to make it more private/secure. Recycling in the area appears to be poor, everything in one bag, with bottle recycling down towards the car park.

- Kay, September 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay. We were only sorry to learn that you had some difficulty with the parking arrangements, the summer period proves busy here in Salcombe. Thank you for your comments regarding the garden, we have passed your concerns onto the owner and very much look forward to welcoming you back soon.

“Absolutely fabulous stay at Shipwrights.”

The house was wonderful, in an excellent location. We especially loved the kitchen/dining room extending into the beautiful garden, which we made use of every day as we had amazing weather. The older kids loved the top floor bedrooms and bathroom, the master bedroom was airy and spacious, all of the beds were very comfortable. The only thing we thought it lacked was a downstairs toilet, but that certainly wouldn’t put us off booking again....it was quite possibly the best house we’ve stayed in over the years!

- Anna, July 2020

We hope to see you back in the area again soon. Property Owner

“Fabulous house which totally suited our needs which involved two families of mixed ages.”

Everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday. Within Easy reach of town and all facilities although the steep hill from the town to the house would be a problem for the less mobile.

“The pictures on the website do not do the property justice.”

Lovely house with many home comforts, it is evident that the owners obviously go there themselves. Kitchen area with extension is particularly nice and bright and a good place for families to enjoy a long breakfast or lunch. Having said that, it would be good to have the wall lights repaired as they are not currently working. Stairs to upper floors are very steep, so care needs to be taken but you soon get used to this. As advertised, parking is for medium sized car only - it is no problem using the local car parks, although at busy times there can be a short delay finding a space, but again this is a minor issue. Thanks C&C once again for your assistance.

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.

One well behaved dog permitted.
