    “Do not stay here.”

    It is a complete and utter rip off. The beds are so uncomfortable you will not sleep. The entire property is old, tired, uncomfortable but the worst thing is the flies, I wished I had read all the reviews first before I booked and then I would have seen that these issues have been ongoing for years. Coast & Country Cottages did nothing to resolve our problems and we still had two days left but we ended up leaving early because they did nothing and since returning home they have also done ...

    It is a complete and utter rip off. The beds are so uncomfortable you will not sleep. The entire property is old, tired, uncomfortable but the worst thing is the flies, I wished I had read all the reviews first before I booked and then I would have seen that these issues have been ongoing for years. Coast & Country Cottages did nothing to resolve our problems and we still had two days left but we ended up leaving early because they did nothing and since returning home they have also done nothing. Both the owner and Coast & Country Cottages have contravened their contractual requirements, don’t let them do it to you.

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.
