Only stayed for 2 nights, but if staying a week, the absence of a washing machine could be an issue. Thank you!

We have stayed on Island Street many times and weâd definitely book this one again, itâs a super location. Great kitchen facilities, much better than many weâve stayed in and super attention to detail throughout. It can be noisy in the mornings as itâs right on the street but thatâs to be expected. Also, weâre arenât tall people and found the bathroom beautifully done but very snug! Overall another lovely week in Salcombe in a really nicely appointed house. Thankyou!
