Guests say
Ferrydown offers a cosy and well-equipped base in the heart of Salcombe, with guests consistently praising its central location, lovely views, and comfortable beds. The property is clean and homely, making it ideal for couples or small families. While some guests noted minor maintenance issues and the lack of parking or WiFi, the overall experience is positive, with many planning to return. The proximity to local amenities and the waterfront adds to its appeal, making it a popular choice for a relaxing getaway.
Most guests found the property clean and tidy, with good quality towels and bedding. However, a few mentioned mould on the bathroom ceiling and a sofa that could be cleaner, which slightly affected the overall impression.
The location is frequently described as fantastic, central, and convenient for exploring Salcombe, with beautiful views and easy access to local attractions. Some noise from nearby cafes and limited parking were minor drawbacks.
Guests appreciated the comfortable beds and cosy atmosphere. Some found the sofa bed and main sofa less comfortable, and the bath/shower setup was awkward for taller guests, but overall comfort was rated highly.
The cottage is well-equipped, but several guests experienced issues with electrics, the towel rail, and the lock. The lack of WiFi and parking were also noted. Despite these, the kitchen and general amenities met most needs.
There were no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

A great little apartment right in the centre of Salcombe! Well-equipped, with a very comfortable bed, this was a fab find for my daughter and I! I would not hesitate to recommend it, but just in terms of honest feedback, the only things that really let it down were:1) no WiFi - just made things hard as phone signal is so appalling in Salcombe, so texts weren’t coming through (had to go to nearby pub for WiFi to connect to what’s app) and town parking is pay by phone which proved tricky! As a suggestion, if there is no possibility of a phone line in the property, could a close WiFi account be shared and part-funded by the apartment owner? 2) as soon as the cafe opens the noise will wake you, as people are sitting just outside of the bedroom door. Early risers won’t be affected, but no chance of a lie-in if needed!Minor things in the bigger scheme of things, but may prove helpful to future visitors 😊

On arriving at the property, it took 10 mins to obtain access as the lock to the flat is faulty. On informing the agents, we were told that we needed 'to jiggle the lock, we would not be locked in or out + anyway there was a back door we could use'. It is only possible to access the flat if you have exited by the back door + locked it from the outside! As a result we had to leave the inner flat door unlocked during our stay.
