“Great time in Salcombe at the courthouse.”

Lovely property and ideal location.

Lovely property and ideal location.

“You promote the Court Hs.”

as a “luxurious property”. The house has potential to be a luxury experience but this is not realised. The Court Hs. has a good layout and the location and views are great, but niggles let it down. We used three of the four bedrooms and two of the three beds were very uncomfortable. This is not a subjective comment. We hire cottages in this price range regularly and these beds are not up to standard. The lounge seating, for 5 adults and two kids, is far from luxurious too. Details like the broken fridge door bottle holder and the taped up TV control detract from the feeling of quality. On the whole our party had a really good holiday in a place that we love. We enjoyed the house in the main but it could be better.
Mr Mckenna April 2019

“The Courthouse is a fantastic property / a superb layout.”

Unfortunately the cleanliness of it let it down- for the price we paid one should expect a clean well presented property. On arrival we reported our disappointment in the state of the outside area which was filthy. It had weeds and birds mess everywhere - so bad we couldn’t have sat outside. The young man who came to check the property apologised and said he get someone round to attend. On the Tuesday we went out for the day and returned to find no one had been. I emailed and called the number for the salcombe office who dealt with it the same day. We returned to find a nice clean outside area. We also reported the shower was broken - this was dealt with also. The response to our complaint was dealt with which was good but we shouldn’t have had to report something so obvious. The external cleanliness should be part of the preparation for any new guest staying. The general cleanliness was poor with dusty skirting boards and a huge cobweb in the main bathroom. We didn’t allow this to spoil our stay as the accommodation was great - but it was disappointing.
Mrs Leeke February 2019

“Great location and plenty of space within the property for entertaining a large group of people (we were 11 people staying at a couple of properties).”

Property is beginning to look a little tired in places (paint peeling off one wall, kitchen cupboards beginning to come apart). Nothing significant to impact staying there but the first time in a while that a number of our party commented on the same.

“Beautiful and spacious but beginning to be a bit tired e.”

G. The crockery drawer was hard to open, one of the cane chairs had a broken leg and we couldn't get the fire to work. Couldn't find instructions for the oven so slightly incinerated our roast chicken! Website blurb said there was a CD/hifi so brought CDs but couldn't play them - loved the radio in the kitchen however. Had Glenthorne House's info on alarms in the info book and the smaller of the two puzzles (500 pieces I think) had 7 pieces missing!
“Good”

“Loved the property and felt so relaxed and at home here.”

Only concern was that house was only superficially clean. A deep clean prior to the busy season (cupboards etc.) would have been nice. This didn't really affect the enjoyment of our property though and it didn't take long to spruce it up a bit.

Many thanks for your positive feedback regarding your recent stay at The Court House in Salcombe. We were pleased that you loved the property and felt so relaxed and at home, however, we were disappointed to read that the house was not satisfactorily cleaned prior to your arrival. We will pass on your comments to the housekeeping/caretaking team and take what action is required to avoid further problems of this kind. We do hope you had an enjoyable holiday and look forward to seeing you again soon. Owner relations

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.
