Guests say
Guests generally appreciate the well-equipped, comfortable apartment with stunning estuary views and a convenient location in Kingsbridge. The property offers secure parking and is praised for its cleanliness and the thoughtful touch of a welcome bottle of wine. Some concerns were raised about cleaning issues and noise from a nearby pub, but these do not overshadow the many positive experiences shared by visitors.
Most guests found the apartment to be clean and well-presented, though there were a few reports of cleaning oversights, such as dust and cobwebs. These instances seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, suggesting generally good but occasionally inconsistent cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and proximity to local amenities and attractions. Some guests mentioned noise from a nearby pub, but overall, the location is considered excellent for exploring Kingsbridge and the surrounding areas.
Guests consistently report that the apartment is comfortable, with special mentions of the beds and lounge furniture. A few guests noted issues with small en-suite showers and a lack of hanging space in one bedroom, but overall comfort levels are rated highly.
The property is well-equipped, with many guests commenting positively on the facilities provided. However, there are remarks about the need for maintenance, such as upgrading bathrooms and addressing minor issues like a broken shelf. The presence of rats mentioned by one guest suggests a need for pest control.
While guests have mentioned a welcome bottle of wine, there are not enough references to other thoughtful gestures to accurately assess this category. It should be noted that such gifts are a pleasant surprise and not a guaranteed amenity.

Had everything we could want. Lovely views over the estuary. Car parking space is handy, but a bit tight if you have a big car. Perfect base for exploring the south Devon.. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Kingsbridge is very pretty but there are some very steep hills! It was great to have a parking space and everything on the one level but it was very tight to get out of the parking space when someone was parked in the next space. Buses available from the town centre for Salcombe, Totnes and Plymouth.

They are in the courtyard and ate wiring in my car which had to be recovered by the AA. When I moved the car 3 rats ran out and into the hallway of the flats. My wife chased them out and they ran down the courtyard and under pipe covers. Obviously they are infesting the building.
