“This is the third time we have stayed at Penthouse Woodside, the previous occasions being 2010 and 2017.”

It is a fantastic apartment, with superb views over the estuary. HOWEVER, it is looking very tired. The carpets and curtains are in a very poor state, the windows and frames and the balconies are equally poor and the apartment is badly in need of some TLC.

“We have stayed at the penthouse on several occasions, however after a two year break the apartment is no longer sadly what we would class as 5* The windows were damp, curtains mouldy, balcony is rotting and sofa exceptionally uncomfortable.”

This is a shame as this has been our preferred property in Salcombe over the past decade. However, this could all be easily remedied with a little TLC, the view is still beautiful and we would return if some updates are made. We are keeping our fingers crossed.......

Many thanks for your feedback, although we were concerned to read that the property was not satisfactorily presented on your arrival. As you will appreciate, we work very hard with our owners to make sure our properties are maintained to a high standard, so it is very disappointing to read these comments. Rest assured your concerns will be passed on to the Owner. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced. We do hope that you had an enjoyable holiday in spite of the issues raised and look forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe in the not too distant future. Owner relations

“Beautiful apartment, well equipped kitchen, very comfotable beds.”

We appreciated the technology (T.Vs in both bedrooms, WiFi etc). Fantastic to have three balconies and the view of estuary is gorgeous. Only thing missing? Unusual, particularly in a property of this quality to not have the personal touch of a welcome pack, even if small, or even just a small bunch of flowers in the vase. Never not had that before in many years of renting properties including weekend bookings.

Many thanks for your kind review of The Penthouse (Woodside) in Salcombe. We were so pleased to read that you had such an enjoyable stay in this beautiful apartment overlooking the Salcombe estuary. Your feedback regarding the welcome pack is much appreciated and has been forwarded to the owners for their information. Thank you, once again, for taking the time to leave your review.

“The setting of the apartment is wonderful and as we are repeat returners we must like it but seriously we would recommend it.”

“It was the second time we had stayed at the Penthouse and the facilities were just as good.”

The view is amazing and all the equipment we needed was there to make our holiday a really luxurious one. The only complaint I had is that there were not enough instructions specific to the property in the folder - rubbish disposal for example - and some rubbish sacks would have been handy. An excellent experience overall though.

We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a valuable review of your second stay at The Penthouse (Woodside) in Salcombe. We were delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the amazing views over the estuary from this well equipped, luxury property. Your feedback in respect of the accommodation has been passed on to both the house keeping and property services teams for their information. Thank you for rating the property with 5 stars and we do hope to welcome you back to Salcombe again very soon. Owner relations

“Lovely view and position The apartment was a bit tired, minimal furniture and poorly equipped in the kitchen.”

The settee was very uncomfortable and no decent chairs to sit on. The bedroom,bed and bathroom were fine

We were very grateful for your feedback following your recent holiday, but sorry and disappointed that you found various issues with presentation at the property. This popular apartment had complete redecoration, together with new carpets, in some areas, at the beginning of the season. The remaining bedroom carpets were also steam cleaned. Following on from your comments, we will certainly review the furniture and check the kitchen equipment levels as soon as possible. Please be rest assured we will report back to the owners at the earliest opportunity. On a positive note, it was fantastic to hear that you loved the wonderful views over the Salcombe estuary from the property and that the bedrooms and bathrooms were fine. We do hope you were able to enjoy your holiday in Salcombe in spite of the issues raised and hope to see you in the area again soon.

“The Penthouse is in a superb location with views to die for!”

The apartment is spacious and the layout is perfect if two couples wanted to share. Also, the parking is excellent with just a short walk in to Salcombe town. However, we did have a few issues - the balconies are in need of an overhaul, we felt they were a bit shabby. Plus the settee needs replacing, it was extremely uncomfortable. Kitchen was in need of a few extra utensils. If resolved, I would not hesitate to award five stars. Would definitely return.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your review. We were absolutely delighted to hear how much you loved the amazing location of The Penthouse, offering spectacular panoramic views over the Salcombe estuary. Your feedback in respect of the property is much appreciated. We will look into the issue with the utensils and take on board your comments in respect of the balconies. The owner may have plans to address the exterior areas over the winter months. Thanks again for your review, we hope to welcome you back again soon. Owner relations

Good space for family of 4. Fantastic views and brilliant to have dedicated parking. Private beach was a disappointment.

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.
