Lovely little house. Close to Asda service station and two pubs. About two miles to Salcombe. Lots of beaches to visit as well as Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. Little quite close with friendly neighbours who always said hello. The cottage itself is a nice size and the bedding lovely. The kitchen has everything you need. We bought kitchen towel although there was a tea towel. It was our second visit and hope to visit again.

This house is in a fantastic location for exploring Salcombe and the coast. It is really helpful to have a designated parking spot.The street is quiet and peaceful which is also lovely. Inside, the home is well equipped and does have everything you need. The bed is comfortable which is a big plus!!However, the house felt tired and as a little rundown. The fridge smelt really badly from the 1st day, and was unclean ( i had to wipe it down before putting things in, but the smell remainined through the stay). The worksurfaces had tomato sauce on them that had to be cleaned too and there are oil/cooking marks on the walls. The chopping boards were stained heavily and I felt uncomfortable using them, and went to buy my own. There was a bag of empty bread bags on top of the frige filled with old bread crumbs too, which was unpleasant. The wardrobes are really big, but there is quite a lot in them which felt restrictive (including a large keyboard and stained bedding). There were linings in the drawers that were dirty and stained with orange marks, which again was off putting. The lamps in the bedroom were dusty and we found a small black hair on one. location is fab, the house is spacious and has everything you need. However for me, it was a let down and needs to be cleaned.
