Guests say
Ferrydown in Salcombe is praised for its central location with lovely views, particularly enjoyable from the lounge. Guests appreciate the quality of towels and bedding, and the property's cleanliness, though some mention a mould issue in the bathroom. The homely apartment is a repeat choice for visitors, despite some concerns over an uncomfortable sofa and occasional maintenance issues like electrical tripping. Parking can be challenging, but the property's proximity to local amenities and eateries is a highlight.
The property is generally described as very clean. However, there is a mention of mould on the bathroom ceiling, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for being central and offering lovely views, with easy access to local attractions. It is considered a great base for exploring the area.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. Bedding is of good quality, but the sofa is noted as uncomfortable and in need of replacement, which affects the overall comfort of the stay.
Facilities are adequate, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as electrical tripping and a non-working electric towel rail. These incidents suggest that the facilities could be better maintained.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Only 3 stars because of awkward bath/shower setup, electrics tripped 3 times and lack of parking. Maybe permit should be included.

Central to everything watching the boats from the lounge was lovely. Towels and bedding good quality. Bed settee fine for our grandchildren. A hand held shower serviceable into the bath. Great value will be booking again for a 3rd Ferrydown holiday

This was my second stay at Ferrydown. The location is great. Ferrydown has everything you need.My only gripe is the sofa. It really has seen better days and not very comfortable. I took a throw to cover it this visit, as it doesn't feel very clean. We had a minor issue with the toaster tripping the power, and the fuse box was in the hallway in a cupboard about 9 foot up the wall. We phoned the booking company who were prompt in sending someone to climb a ladder. There are lovely views and tempting smells of bacon butties from Captain Morgans cafe below......I hope to return next year.
