Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests noting it as spotless on arrival. However, some guests have reported issues such as a dirty fridge, mug, and patio, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its centrality and proximity to local amenities, with beautiful views of the harbour. The convenience for attending events and exploring Salcombe is a highlight for many guests.
Guests find the main bedroom, bathroom, and living areas comfortable, but there are concerns about the second bedroom's suitability for adults and the comfort of the mattress. The presence of a dehumidifier suggests issues with dampness affecting comfort.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but there are several mentions of the need for refurbishment and maintenance. Issues like dampness, mould, and minor damages are noted, indicating room for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

It's such a welcoming, clean and cosy cottage - we felt at home straight away. Just being able to sit on the sofa with a hot chocolate, looking out at the glorious view, was a happy treat. A special mention to the team at the Coast and Country office! They went above and beyond to help us on arrival - their warm smiles and happiness to help made such a difference. Thank you.

The only downside was the shower which was small and for a larger person would prove a challenge to fit into. Car parking was also an issue as the main car park in the town was very busy and we struggled to find a space. Once we had parked we could not go out for the day in the car for fear of losing our space.

It is a lovely property with everything we needed. Standard of accommodation and bedding/crockery etc was perfect. felt like a home from home. as it was off the main drag, it was very quiet (but we were out of season), had a good nights sleep, lovely space inside and out and a parking permit for a nearby carpark. would definitely stay again...
