Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is generally described as spotless and clean, with comfortable and welcoming accommodations. However, a few reviews mention dust and cobwebs, suggesting room for improvement in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Salcombe town, harbour, shops, and pubs, with the added benefit of a parking space. The convenience and accessibility are consistently noted as positives.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the cottage cosy, contributing to a relaxing holiday experience. Some concerns are raised about steep stairs and noise from the road, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The cottage is well-equipped, with a particularly well-received kitchen. However, several reviews mention the need for maintenance, such as updating utensils, fixing a TV, and addressing a leak. The steep stairs and bathroom facilities also receive some criticism.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

A few areas were showing cobwebs, but this did not detract from a pleasant stay. All amenities close to hand along with some nice coastal path walks and a handy bus service less than 2 minutes walk.

Home from home Cosy and very comfortable. Just a couple of little things to point out - only 2 small wine glasses and no scissors. Although we loved the ambience of St Leonards we feel the garden could definitely do with a little attention and the front garden could be so pretty with a little tlc. Last tiny grumble, the gate could do with some attention. These are only small things but we feel important. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. Thank you.

TV in the bedroom not there and in August 23 had been reported. Would be best to tell customers beforehand. No bags for bin in kitchen. But we would come again as we all had a great stay.
