Mr Brogden
October 2020

“Startline House was great and gave us a welcome and relaxing week away.”

Given Covid restrictions we didn't think the cleaning went deep enough. The accommodation was generally very good but the second bathroom on the lower level is in need of improvement given it is accommodating 4 people.

“We stayed at Startline 2 years ago and really liked the balcony with its superb views.”

Unfortunately this year we found the balcony to be unusable because of the seagull mess on it- it clearly hadn't been cleaned for quite some time, it was so dirty we didn't even want to stand out there to admire the view. Also the shower on the lower floor leaks from the bottom corner. It leaked when we stayed 2 years ago and we can see it's been patched up a few times, but it is still leaking. Otherwise it is a lovely house in a fantastic location.

- Mrs Lane, July 2020

We were so sorry to hear that the balcony was not presented satisfactorily on your arrival at Startline House. It is a shame that you did not contact the local office during your stay as we most certainly would have been able to rectify this for you during your stay. Thank you for reporting to us the leaking shower, we have passed this on to the Owners and maintenance team for their attention. Despite these issues, we hope that you enjoyed your time in Salcombe and look forward to welcoming you back to the area again soon. Owner relations

“Great property with magical views and petty well kitted out.”

However, expensive properties should have comfortable beds and higher quality duvets. Lounge sofas also not comfortable.

“The house was clean, spacious and extremely well equipped.”

The views are exceptional and with two sunny terraces to choose from as well as a bit of grassy garden, we were spoilt for choice when it came to relaxing. We were attending a race week at the Yacht Club so the position of the house was ideal, but also very convenient for getting anywhere in the town. Highly recommended!

The position of the house was fantastic however the interior was rather dated and I thought it was expensive taking this in to account I know we were paying for the fabulous view but no ensuites and the furnishings were tired also the kitchen equipment such as cooking tools were sparse
