Guests say
Sea Salt Lodge in Torquay offers a spacious and comfortable stay with stunning sea views and a quiet location. Despite some maintenance issues, guests appreciate the ample parking, wildlife encounters, and the property's multiple levels and bathrooms. The house's cleanliness and facilities received mixed feedback, but the overall experience is enjoyed by families.
Guests reported the need to clean appliances and toilets upon arrival, and a blocked hoover suggests that cleaning could be more thorough. However, the property was described as clean by another guest.
The property boasts a quiet location with sea views and good access to the town, despite the challenging hills. Parking is noted as convenient, which is a significant advantage in Torquay.
The property is described as airy, bright, and comfortable, with enough space for guests. Comfy beds and multiple bathrooms add to the comfort level, although the lack of WiFi in the games room was noted.
Facilities are generally good, with a games room and gated drive. However, maintenance issues like broken bathroom waste, a loose toilet handle, and safety concerns with drawing pins on the stair rails were reported.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Decorated throughout in a nautical style to enhance its sea views, Sea Salt Lodge sits high up on the site of the former Waldon Castle and yet is within easy walking distance of the seafront, town and harbour. You may even notice part of a former wall and turret of the Castle when you sit in the garden.
The wonderful living room on the first floor is filled with natural light from the patio doors that lead out onto your balcony which looks over Torquay to the sea and Marina giving you an inviting living area to relax in either indoors or out.
Three bedrooms continue the nautical theme, the large double bedroom on the ground floor has its own conservatory which leads to a delightful outside space with a summer house and two garden loungers. Next to the double bedroom is a four poster room with views over Torquay town centre. The third bedroom is a twin bedded room on the first floor which has a spectacular elevated view over Torquay town centre and beyond, next to this bedroom is a bright shower room.
To the side of the house with a separate entrance is your own games room with a scaled down pool table and dartboard (remember to bring your darts!) and you can play your music via bluetooth on the speaker style jukebox or just chill out in front of the TV. There’s even great speeds from the fibre-optic broadband throughout the house to help plan your days out.
If the inside isn’t enough, the garden is a real sun trap and wraps around the house offering you a choice of sitting areas including a large decked area with its own thatched beach retreat on it, an ideal place to enjoy a glass of wine while enjoying the sea views.
Sea Salt Lodge is close to many local attractions like Living Coasts, Torre Abbey Sands and the Harbour, of course if you want to venture further afield, other attractions like Paignton Zoo, Dartmouth and Dartmoor are only a short drive away.

The top bathroom waste was broken, bottom toilet handle loose, freezer full of food, contact Kate as she said she would send the plumber around on Monday so we waited in and wasted a full day of our holiday and did not turn up at all, so I contacted Kate twice and she couldn’t have been bothered to reply back. Also we at to buy cleaning items to clean mircowave, toilets etc. The other problem is there used drawing pin on stairs rails and they was coming out and one went in my foot not happy because this could have been a child. The whole place inside and out needs a bit of TLC.

Lovely airy bright house in a great quiet location overlooking the harbour . Good access to the town but the hills are a killer ! Only one small gripe , the cleaners had obviously been in before we arrived but carpets still not clean as hoover was completely blocked . Loads of room for the 5 of us and comfy beds and we used the games room a lot ( no WiFi jukebox as advertised) . Lovely stay , thankyou

We absolutely loved our stay at Sea Salt Lodge. It is a bit of a truck into torquay, but the owners have given directions for an easy way there. All on laminated sheets. Shame about the big apartment building in front but you still have a sea view. It was ideal for parking as it's got its own big drive and gated too, Torquay has hardly any parking. Being on 3 levels was so good for our family of four, plus having 3 bathrooms was just ideal. You have a lot of local wildlife, especially the owl on a night and the foxes. Loved our holiday so much so thank you
