Spotlessly clean and spacious. Very well equipped. It overlooked the bay of South Sands. We had a most enjoyable week. Thank you for making our week relaxing.

We have been holidaying in Salcombe for 40 years and this is the best property we have stayed in . The outside areas are beautifully maintained and immaculate . The key safe is a great addition in being able to leave the keys on departure day instead of having to drop them into the office in Salcombe . We were fully aware of the position so knew the walk up to the apartment is steep and wouldnât recommend staying there lf you have mobility issues . the car park height restriction would also be a problem .We use the ferry from south sands to town and you can get the bud from salcombe to kings bridge , Dartmouth and Totnes if you donât want to drive . The biggest issue currently is the extensive building work taking place all around the area so the constant noise of drilling and lorries from 8am to 5pm spoils what used to be a peaceful haven of relaxation but this is not within your control however it maybe something that as a business that relies on tourism you could raise with the south hams council Regarding building restrictions being imposed during the holiday season .

Two very minor constructive suggestions for making it even better still. - Have clearer instructions in the apartment on waste disposal and any recycling. - in the promotional literature, explain to potential guests (who may have health or driving limitations) that access to the property and South Sands location generally is via quite steep, and narrow lanes with tight bends. The last point though is also a great strength as the views from the apartment were stunning and its isolated location was quiet and peaceful; thanks to all for a wonderful holiday, and we have rebooked for next year.
