    “The property location could not be bettered for access to North Sands and walking into the centre of Salcombe and we loved being able to see the sea and across the valley from the apartment.”

    The off road parking is an absolute bonus and the heating and hot water systems very efficient. The property manager was very helpful and the maintenance engineer checked the new fridge/ freezer just after we arrived. Acknowledging that our stay was towards the end of the 'season', the outside areas were not particularly inviting. The BBQ looked as if it had not been used for a long time, the gas was disconnected and it looked unsafe. There is a rusted wheelbarrow and boat trailer in the ...

    The off road parking is an absolute bonus and the heating and hot water systems very efficient. The property manager was very helpful and the maintenance engineer checked the new fridge/ freezer just after we arrived. Acknowledging that our stay was towards the end of the 'season', the outside areas were not particularly inviting. The BBQ looked as if it had not been used for a long time, the gas was disconnected and it looked unsafe. There is a rusted wheelbarrow and boat trailer in the garden along with broken pots, and lights that do not work and the lid of the refuse bin is broken The covered area ceiling was very dirty with algae and signs of persistent leaks and some of the plants are very overgrown. As another guest mentioned, this was obviously a stunning apartment when it was refurbished, with good quality fittings that have stood the test of time (the shower, kitchen ovens, hob and dishwasher). We enjoyed that it felt very much like a home with the extensive books and games available to guests. However, the soft furnishings are showing their age and the tiled floor is very marked and cracked. We expect to find cobwebs etc as holiday properties are rarely cleaned to the standard of your own home, but when adjusting the sofa cushions there was a seasons worth of crumbs and dust underneath. We only used the bedroom with the ensuite shower and the bed was decidedly uncomfortable after a while and you could feel the springs. Would we visit again? Not sure, the apartment above was unoccupied until the last night of our stay, when the noise from above was intrusive and unsettled our dog.

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.

Guests do not have use of swimming pool at St Elmo Court.
