This was used as overflow accommodation so worked very well.

The bedding was tired, yellowed and faded and the sheet didnt fit the bed properly, I had to keep getting up to wrestle it over the corners. Apart from that, it was really good, but no tea and coffee on arrival which was irritating as had just completed a 7 hour drive

The location is perfect only a few yards away from the waterside. We think it may help to modernise or upgrade the shower which we found difficult to avoid overspill out from the tray. Also a toilet roll and hand soap would help albeit we have left some at each sink. Overall we were delighted with our choice and absolutely love staying in Salcombe so hope to visit again soon.
