2 Rockmount

We loved our stay in Rockmount.

The house is very well positioned for town and having the back gate was handy for walking the dog over to North Sands and getting the great butchers / shop at the top. It’s well equipped inside and the views from the property are a bonus. Will stay again.

As long as you realise there are a lot of steps up to the property it is a great place to base yourself in this lovely town.

We have been coming to Salcombe for 25 yrs as a couple and my husband since this late 60’s with his parents and we love it. We had a slight problem with the electric’s so we rang Skye’s up and it was sorted that day whilst we were out. I highly rate this property, very comfortable with everything you need for that break away. Thank you!

This is a lovely property above Salcombe with great views across the countryside.

The house itself has all you need for your holiday and you can find the sun outside on the terraces whatever time of day it is! We have an electric car and charging was really easy. Be aware that, like many holiday lets in Salcombe, there is quite a steep walk from the town to the house and then a set of steps to get to the house but this isn’t a problem if you are reasonably fit and mobile. The only slight downside is that there is no grass for doggy wees but our dog eventually got used to this. There is not a lot of grass accessible in Salcombe as a whole but we still loved it and definitely will be back!

1.

There was no food or drink of any kind- a few dry goods like teabags and salt are very helpful when arriving late and would improve the welcome. 2. You should support proper recycling at the property- just saying ‘you can take it to the boat park’ is unhelpful, we did not bring a car. Other properties in the street seemed to have different bins, rental properties should also recycle. 3. Generally a comfortable space in a reasonable location, it was good holiday. Up a hill, a hot walk, but the views are good!

We had a great stay at Rockmount, I had been a little concerned about the 60 steps to the property but as long as you are relatively mobile we found them fine.

Decor was nice and fresh and the house was well equipped - gorgeous view from the front windows and terrace.beds were very comfortable. I have marked comfort down slightly only because in the living room we found there were not enough relaxing seats for four. The sofa was great but the additional two chairs look nice, however are not comfortable to sit for an evening if the weather is not so good. But overall I was very happy that I had chosen this property

Majority of property clean, cobwebs were visible in bathroom and behind back door on the inside.

The exterior furniture on main patio was filthy and had clearly not been cleaned in a long time. No hoover available or clothes dryer for indoor drying. Parking is accurately described anything larger than a mini SUV would not fit and the gradient is horrid but it's what you get for the views

Light, spacious and well equipped property.

Ideally located for easy access to Salcombe town centre, with views over hills and the estuary. Good communication with the owner. It is a steep walk up from Salcombe, finishing with the 60 steps to the front door. Didn't worry us as we live at the top of a hill so we were well prepared for this. Weather was great and we were able to find good walks along the coast in both directions (using cross river ferry) and inland too.

Excellent accommodation.

Spotlessly clean. Great location but be aware of having to walk up a steep hill from the town centre followed by 60 steps to front door. Not for the faint hearted. Also car parking very limited. Would struggle with anything bigger than an average sized saloon car. However overall would thoroughly recommend and would definitely look to return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 2 Rockmount, we were lucky to have a lovely weather.

The accommodation was spotless, well equipped and home from home with fantastic views, the owner has thought of everything. A great addition to the property having a parking space and having the electric car charging which we did use very easily. Very well situated for walking into Salcombe around 10 minutes down hill. We loved Salcombe, all the local pubs are dog friendly and offer a good range of delicious food although a bit pricey but you expect it in Salcombe. Lots to see and do around the area without having to drive too far. Absolutely fabulous I could have stayed forever.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay with our 3 month old baby at Rockmount.

The house was clean and had everything we needed apart from a travel cot which we took with us. The sofa and beds were very comfy with a beautiful view to the estuary from the front balcony seats. The location was great for walking into town and very beneficial having a parking space- albeit very steep, but we always remembered to leave it in gear and got used to the steel steps to the house. We would stay here again and recommend.

Lovely bungalow with views.

Steep parking spot, but convenient for the town. Lots of steps (as described), difficult when loading and unloading the car. Very happy with our choice.

Lovely place, great view.

Everything as described. Very happy

The property could do with some modernization and polish.

There were numerous cracks in the plaster, including a large one in the bedroom ceiling. The repair which had been done on previous damage to the bedroom ceiling also looked poorly finished. The paintwork around the property was also poorly finished in places, including paint on door handles and light fixtures. The extractor fan in the bathroom was also pretty well clogged with dirt and dust, and rust was visible around the edges of the mirror too. These may seem like minor issues, but combined it makes the property feel tired and old. The garden could have done with some grass in it too, as opposed to the stone chippings, I understand this is a personal preference, however, with the property welcoming dogs, grass is certainly more welcome to them. While I appreciate nothing can be done about the parking situation, it should be made very clear in the listing about the angle of the slope. With an older car like ours, we struggled to safely park, putting stress on the handbrake and running high on the clutch. We had to put bricks under the wheels, to stop the car slipping down the slope. This could be dangerous if people are trying to unload the car and the vehicle starts to slip. There was not much storage space for our food, so we left it out on the countertop, however, should the property be renovated I'm sure this is something that could be addressed. The house is in a really good location, with a great outlook too.

Nice clean, comfortable bungalow, with lovely views.

Steep parking spot but we got used to it and lots of steps but very convenient for the town with lots of nice walks around.

Fairly dated decor with basic furniture and fittings.

Good location Seems expensive for what it is compared to other Salcombe properties we have stayed at in the past.

Really enjoyable stay in Salcombe, at 2 Rockmount.

Great views from the living room, and a great base from which to explore. We were lucky to have beautiful weather during our stay, making exploring the area even better. The welcome treats from the bakery were a lovely surprise - thank you.

The owners have clearly listened to feedback from previous guests and all the repairs and changes have been made.

We had a great week here, the house was spotless, bright, comfortable and had everything you need for a family. I would stay there again. The steps and parking are a little painful but overall didn't put us off.

The property was as described.

The decor and cleanliness was very good. Plenty of cutlery and crockery. Everything you would need for eating inside and out. Glad we knew about the steps. Lovely property. Short walk to the harbour. Perfect for us. Thankyou

Overpriced for how outdated the apartment is.

Great location but the steps as rightly described were testing by the end of the week and difficult when loading and unloading the car.

The house although very clean is tired and desperately needs money spending on it to bring it up to a modern standard. (“ (Look at the house on both sides) The shower is however amazing. Salcombe is lovely and we will stay again but sadly not at this house.

Sadly the house was dirty, dusty, dated, basic & overall unloved.

Unsure when the property was last cleaned as the dust was thick, the number of bugs in the bathroom light was disgusting & the spider webs in every corner of ever room looked well established. The cleaner had left a cloth on one of the beds which was well dry so guessing it’s been a while. Also the bedsheets were dirty! The house is tired, clearly the owners don’t care about it & have done nothing to it since they came into ownership of it. It is dated & basic. The TV doesn’t work, there is no DVD player as advertised and no sound system. The properties either side of 2 Rockmount are stunning, which makes this house look even worse! The access via stairs isn’t bad, but the over grown bushes which hang over the steps at the back & the front of the property are! This house hasn’t seen TLC for a long time. I reported the TV not working on our 1st day & my concerns regarding the property’s hygiene etc, no one got back to me! Overall, I would not recommend this property to anyone!

Our first visit to Salcombe and wow what a gorgeous place !

! Rockmount was a great place to stay views were great the steps let’s say keep you fit parking isn’t the best on a very steep hill in front of the garage but we managed …. I would definitely return very nice bugalow very well equipped had a lovely happy relaxed holiday

In need of a bit of TLC ie a lick of paint, a new hoover that doesn't smell of wet dog, a TV that has channels on it, the curtains in the twin bedroom were hanging off the rail, the large blind in the living room didn't work, the smaller blinds in the living room were rusty and a new washing line with some pegs would be helpful.

We had a lovely time in Salcombe but had enough of the hills after a week.

The description talked about the amount of steps up to the cottage and it really is! We gave up going into town after a couple of days the hills were one reason and it all just seemed too much hassle after a while you could never book into the pubs for meals. We just used the spar shop around the corner and used the” cook” meals

The house is quite run down including items such as the mattress/bedding.

There are things you could do that would really improve a guests stay, for example providing basic necessity items such as an oven glove, as well as items such as shampoo/shower gel / more than 2 loo rolls/ salt and pepper etc. It feels a little strange to be asked to bring some items. Also, the listing says their is a bbq which isn’t quite true, given disposable ones were provided (and they’re not the same!) I called ahead to ask about this 4 times and eventually was told there was a bbq and we wouldn’t need to bring anything. Having a bbq was key to our booking and we were disappointed.

The holiday cottage was listed as dog-friendly but only if they were kept indoors - there was nothing to prevent them from wandering into the gardens of both neighbours.

There was no key to open the kitchen windows, the duvet was stained, and the paved area immediately outside was littered with roof moss. There was no access to the fuse box so a call was necessary for someone to help when the lights went out. The parking space was on a steep slope potentially causing damage to cars that do not have a high road clearance.

Beautiful little cottage.

Albeit we weren't expecting the amount of stairs to get to the front door. Everything was there that we needed, the cottage was clean and tidy and well located for access into Salcombe and the surrounding areas. Thank you so much

The terrace garden was not as accurately described and should made clearer that there is very little grass for dogs.

Also the mains lights failed half way through our trip and despite contacting C and C nobody fixed them so we were living by lamp light! Also the cottage has several marks on the walls and a damp patch on the bathroom ceiling which should probably be attended to.

Fabulous location

The bed was extremely comfortable!

A pleasure to go to bed each evening and the kitchen was so very well equipped that it made cooking a doddle (I had brought my own utensils and slow cooker only to find everything I needed). I cleaned the apartment on arrival, the bathroom wasn’t clean and I don’t really think The rest of the house was, but I do have high cleanliness standards so this could be me having high expectations. We bought towels as it said they were not provided but they were as was a tea towel! Very nice cottage, builders next door very friendly - we would revisit!

Great place to stay near the centre of town

Really enjoyed our stay. The bungalow had everything you could want ( apart from a knife sharpener) was comfortable and nicely decorated. On a nice evening, great to sit out on the patio and take in the view. To get this lovely view, do note Rockmount is at the top of a very steep hill , steep steps leading up the property, with a very steep car parking space not for the faint hearted ! That said would still highly recommend staying there and you will be a little fitter by the end of you stay !

Lovely cottage. Clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything needed for a self catering holiday.

Fantastic accommodation. Very clean, everything we needed. Location was good for us,

Great location and views. Modest little bungalow but perfect base for exploring Salcombe and beyond as long as you're ok with the steep steps up to the front door. If it had a dishwasher we'd be giving 5 stars!

Lovely, well equipped cottage. Single beds were a little uncomfortable.

Lovely spacious bungalow, fabulous views, perfect base for a week in Salcombe. Previous reviews complained about the number of steps - you can only have such a view if you are high up and it was definitely worth the few steps. Only thing I would improve would be to have thicker curtains in the main bedroom as the early morning light came straight through the curtains - I know that's being picky!

Lovely property and have stayed thee before
