Guests say
Upper Sheldon House in Salcombe is a well-loved cottage with stunning views and a convenient location close to the town centre. Guests appreciate the comfortable accommodation and the bonus of having parking, despite the tight access for larger vehicles. While some wear and maintenance issues were noted, the property's charm and amenities generally leave a positive impression.
The property generally appears to be clean, but there were comments about it feeling a bit tired and a specific mention of a dirty travel cot. This suggests room for improvement in cleanliness, especially towards the end of the season.
The location is highly praised for its amazing views and proximity to the centre of Salcombe, making it a great choice for visitors looking to explore the area.
Guests find the apartment comfortable and well-equipped, with the addition of black-out blinds for an enhanced stay. However, there were complaints about lumpy pillows, indicating some aspects of comfort could be enhanced.
The property is considered well-equipped and the parking is appreciated, but there are issues with maintenance, such as a leak in the bathroom and the need for freshening up, which affects the overall score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

This was our third stay at Upper Sheldon House. It ticks lots of boxes for us and we love the location and outlook.Unfortunately there had obviously been some sort of leak in the bathroom and the bath side had been taped up which wasn’t ideal with young children. It generally felt a bit tired and not as clean which I suppose is understandable towards the end of the season. The travel cot was really dirty along the top but that’s probably because someone had put it away like that, but it would be good if the cleaning team could check it in future.It’s desperate for some new pillows - they felt really lumpy and uncomfortable. Once the bathroom is fixed and everything’s freshened up, I’m sure it will be really nice again.

This a lovely apartment, very comfortable with the most amazing views. Its location close to the centre of Salcombe was also great. The archway through to the parking space is very tight particularly if you have a larger car but having parking was a real bonus for us.

What a fantastic place to stay. The view from the balcony was superb and the flat was very well equipped and had everything we needed. Parking was as stated rtifht but worth having. We had a lovely time.
