About this property

Situated in the heart of the popular sailing town of Salcombe, just a few steps from the town’s restaurants, shops and quayside, Lee Shore is a superb base.

This comfortable two storey apartment is perfect for three people with one double room and a single.

Why not head out for a little retail therapy, enjoy an ice cream whilst wandering along the water’s edge hand-in-hand, or head to one of the many sandy beaches. Whether you opt for sun bathing on the sand, paddling in the crystal clear waters, or trying new watersports, Salcombe’s sandy coves are unmissable! If you prefer walking, the South West Coast Path is also easily accessible, whilst the National Trust property Overbeck’s House and Gardens is well worth a visit.

Lee Shore is imaginatively decorated and has a wonderful open plan living area, with a fully-fitted kitchen complete with a breakfast bar, and a comfortably furnished sitting area, boasting views across Salcombe estuary towards Fisherman's Cove and East Portlemouth. On the lower floor are the double bedroom and shower room, plus a separate cloakroom.

With so much to do ‘on the doorstep’, Lee Shore is a fabulously located apartment for couples looking for a little rest and relaxation in beautiful surroundings.

Salcombe is a popular destination for watersports enthusiasts, walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea. There are several pretty beaches within a short distance, including North Sands and South Sands, plus the coves East Portlemouth on the opposite side of the estuary, just a short passenger ferry ride away. Also on your doorstep 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, coasteering, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe, 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 on the South West Coast path.

    I am disappointed that our feedback from last year, and by reading some of the other reviews, the feedback of other guests, hasn’t been taken on board. The reason we returned was the size of the property and it’s excellent location; we are a couple so don’t need a large property, it’s a 30 second walk to the waterfront to launch our kayak and with the expectation our feedback had been listened to so our stay would be more comfortable than last year. I wholly agree with another review that the extremely steep, precarious and small staircase to access the living area is not mentioned, not an issue for us but could be for others with less mobility, plus there are numerous steps to ascend to even reach the property, THIS SHOULD BE CLEARLY MENTIONED AND PHOTOGRAPHED. We fed back last year that the bed was absolutely awful, very uncomfortable, the mattress is indented on both sides and the sheets on the bed were ill-fitting and well worn and need replacing - EXACTLY THE SAME MATTRESS AND SHEETS THIS YEAR. We even flipped it over to see if this would help but alas no. My partner in despair on night three from lack of sleep, went to spend the night in the single room, alas, he reported that the single bed was much the same if not worse and could feel the springs in his back. The futon sofa is still in place, despite feeding back that it also needs replacing with something much more comfortable as you cannot relax on it and seems pointless. The kitchen equipment could all do with checking through and replacing as needed, as a lot of the items are well used at best and have seen better days, the oven trays and cooking paraphernalia need a good scrub if not binned and replaced with new. We bring our FireStick to plug into the TV so we have access to Netflix etc in the evening as the channel content is very poor, which I would recommend others to do. Overall, Lee Shore is OK if you don’t have high expectations and don’t sleep much. It is very tired and needs a complete overhaul of contents, a thorough deep clean, repair of cracks and fresh paint throughout. It is a shame as the location and stunning views from the living area make this property a real winner. We have no issues with Coast and Country as a service, however, due to the above, we shall not be returning to Lee Shore and would advise others to read all the reviews carefully to make an informed choice when considering booking this property. The expectation now is that the property owners take notice of the reviews and rectify the issues before the 2024 season begins, if so, we would gladly return.

    A lovely family cottage despite its very steep staircase. Delighted the front window in the bedroom can now be opened. Also, relieved that a fan was provided for the very hot weather. The bakery opposite can be quite noisy early each morning, but I sleep in the back bedroom which is quieter. I minor quibble: I keep hitting my head on the ceiling when using the toilet which is under the slope of the stairs. Maybe a ‘mind your head’ sign would be helpful. Already booked for the same time next year!

    Parking permit was a bonus , but be aware the car park isn’t near the property when either carrying luggage or attempting to drive through the narrow town and drop off luggage . Overall , we loved our stay . Especially the location . Lovely views from the upstairs living area and lovely smells from the bake house in the bedroom in the morning . A nice walk through the town to the north and south beach . You can walk into any of the hotels for food or drinks . We tried all the pubs out for eating and the service and food was good at all of them . We recommend a visit to the crab shack looking over the estuary,near the car park , food is amazing ( will need to book ) . Our only negatives were the sofa was very hard, so sat on the comfy lounger chairs but these are very stained . A tear in the curtains (that we reported) . The stairs could be an issue for some . Previous comments about the mattress and sheets must have been sorted at it was a memory foam mattress and clean bedding . Overall this was a very comfortable place to holiday in the heart of Salcombe , very good value for money .
