Guests say
Guests adore the cottage's stunning views and central Salcombe location, with the added bonus of a parking space. The property is well-equipped and offers a comfortable stay, though some guests noted areas for improvement in cleanliness and maintenance. The charm of the cottage and its convenience for exploring the town and harbour are frequently praised.
While many guests found the cottage comfortable, there were several mentions of cleanliness issues such as a dirty stair carpet, cobwebs, and a damp smell in the lower bedroom. These comments suggest room for improvement, although not all reviews reflected these concerns.
The location is highly praised for its central position in Salcombe, proximity to amenities, and beautiful views over the harbour. The convenience of having a parking space in such a location is also frequently appreciated.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and pleasant living spaces. However, some guests mentioned uncomfortable mattresses and pillows, suggesting that while the overall comfort is good, there is potential for enhancement.
The property is considered well-equipped by most guests, with a new dishwasher and secure parking being notable features. However, some guests reported maintenance issues such as a difficult-to-access dishwasher and a need for better home comforts, indicating that while facilities are good, there is room for improvement.
There is a lack of consistent mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. While one guest compared the lack of a welcome gift to another property, this is not a recurring theme in the reviews, and therefore it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness.

We loved our stay! Such tasteful and homely decor and a great view! The location is perfect to be right in the middle of town! We really enjoyed just sitting on the balcony or in the living room just looking out over the estuary !

Parking space was really handy. Very close to all the shops, and when the sun is out, breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the water, just tops it off.
