“We have stayed several times in this house.”

As before there are no scales; a shortage of teaspoons and mugs; no pincers or tongues to turn chops over; the en-suite bathroom loo does not flush solids away - I have complained about this before and you sent a guy to fix it a couple of years ago but it still doesn’t work properly - you must have had complaints about this from other folk?!?! ...

We love the house and the views are fantastic- its just a little annoying when simple things aren’t addressed year after year. Regards Paul Tunstill

“This apartment ticked all the boxes for us.”

It's a really lovely place with tall ceilings and plenty of space. The facilities were excellent. Large fridge/freezer. Dishwasher. Washer/dryer. All the kitchen equipment you could need. I only needed to unpack the oven gloves! The welcome hamper was a really nice touch as were the high chair and travel cot. The layout of the lounge/dining area has changed slightly since the photos were taken plus the flooring is all completely hard rather than carpeted like in the photos which practically is better however good to know if you have a young baby- might need to bring something soft for the floor. Parking is a nightmare in Salcombe so the garage was a massive perk. As was the mooring on the beach which is opposite the entrance to the apartment. Lots of stairs so only suitable for those steady on their feet. The location of this apartment was perfect. Just a short walk to the main row of shops/pubs etc and the view was out of this world. There was a lot of building work happening while we were there (mid May) which got a little noisy at times but it seemed like they were wrapping a lot of that up when we were leaving. Other things to note... the main bedroom is stunning but gets very bright in the morning so bring an eye mask if you need darkness. The high chair is a little large for a baby under 1 so bring an insert or use cushions. It also would have been helpful to have the code to the gate down to the beach. We couldn't find it anywhere in the apartment so had to phone up. Not a major issue though. We'd love to come back again. Already missing that view!

“The builders near by were not a big issue but thankyou for the pre warning.”

hardly any noise and very friendly bunch.Fabullous comfy beds and luxury bedding and towels.. No complaints at all, The only thing that wasn't clear was the notice of where to put the rubbish. I didn't realize there was access to the top rd and the bin was there.
“We really enjoyed our holiday.”

Great place to stay with that amazing view, very comfortable, spacious and handy for town. Only constructive feedback is that it is looking a bit tired, could do with a decorative freshen up throughout, including carpet in living room needing a good clean, and the kitchen looks dated. Also, there were no store cupboard basics, such as cooking oil, salt, tea bags, herbs etc which are not things you want to have to go out and buy when you're only there for a week.

Thank you for your kind review in respect of your recent stay at The Garden House, Woodside, Salcombe. Thanks for your valuable feedback regarding the property, which we have passed on to our maintenance team for their immediate attention. We can also advise that we are in the process of speaking to the owners regarding the provision of a 'welcome pack' containing tea, coffee, etc. We were delighted to read how much you enjoyed your holiday and do hope to welcome you back to this beautiful area very soon.

“The most amazing setting we've ever stayed at.”

10 mins walk to Salcombe and the ferry and 10 mins walk to North sands and the Winking Prawn. Sat with a glass of wine on the terrace or the sofa in the lounge looking at the estuary, life doesn't get much better than that!! Already booked for next year !

We stayed in the same property last year when it had just been decorated, this year the paintwork had been damaged which has reduced our rating from excellent
“My family like this property but I think it is little overpriced.”
“An excellent apartment.”

Mattresses we all found too soft especially for elderly person with arthritic spine. We would need to know if one bed could have firm mattress before booking this apartment again which we would like to do.
“Lovely apartment, well situated and pleased to have added bonus of the garage.”

“The main bed was lumpy and uncomfortable - I still have a bad back a week later.”

The en-suit loo did not not run away properly - you sent a man out to check but he didn't achieve anything - it could take up to 8 flushes to flush solids away. The fan in the shower room could be a potential fire hazard. Sometimes it didn't come on at all other times it made an horrendous screeching when it came on - as if a bearing was seizing. A minor point but there were only four teaspoons - just inconvenient. Overall the place looked a little tired - stains on the lounge carpet, a chunk of plaster off the corner of the fireplace and the double glazing in the back door was misted up. Just letting you know. Paul Tunstill

Thank you for you feedback in respect of your recent holiday, although I am sorry that the accommodation did not meet your expectations.
We will review the facilities and equipment levels as soon as possible, and work with the owners to ensure the minor maintenance issues are rectified quickly. I am particularly sorry that you found the main double bed uncomfortable as this same bed has received positive Feefo comments for comfort in the past - I have asked for a full assessment of the mattress and this will be replaced if necessary.
If you would like to discuss any of these matters in more detail please contact me directly at any time.

“Fantastic views.”

10 min walk into town. Well presented apartment. Tastefully decorated.My only complaint was that both double beds had very soft & lumpy mattresses, which spoilt our stay a bit, as we all had trouble sleeping. Great to have the garage, because street parking is very limited. Would have helped if the garage had a notice saying 'parking for Woodside' as we weren't sure at first if we were in the right garage ( especially as someone else had parked in it).

Many thanks for your review in respect of your recent stay at The Garden House (Woodside) in Salcombe. It was really pleasing that you enjoyed the fantastic views from the property and we do hope you enjoyed your stay. We are grateful for your feedback regarding the mattresses etc and your comments have been passed on to the owners for their attention. Looking forward to welcoming you back to the Salcombe area very soon. Owner relations

Only one very small problem if you can call it one is when red hot day on beautiful balcony an umbrella for table when eating out side would be helpful. But still rate this property five stars.
