The apartment's location is highly regarded for its great views and proximity to Salcombe centre and North Sands. The steep walk back from town is noted, but does not significantly detract from the overall positive reception.

Guests find the apartment cosy and comfortable, with one calling it 'super cosy' and another noting the 'comfort of this cottage is beyond our expectations'.

The apartment is praised for being well-appointed and equipped, especially for self-catering. However, a lack of instructions for rubbish disposal suggests a minor issue with maintenance information.

About this property

5 Melbury is a beautifully-presented holiday apartment located in the stunning resort town of Salcombe in Devon. Situated within the South Devon National Landscape and so close to the coast, this property is a perfect base for families and friends wanting to enjoy a tranquil holiday with peaceful walks and breathtaking views. Step into a bright and airy open-plan living space with large windows offering lovely views of the town and Salcombe Estuary. Here you'll find the comfortable sofa before setting off on an adventure-filled day or make use of the fully-equipped kitchen to whip up your favourite meals. Enjoy your culinary exploits out on the decking for some alfresco dining or have a feast with the barbecue in the communal garden. Come back inside when the sun has set to unwind with a hot shower in the shower room, then retreat to one of three bedrooms - all boasting stunning views - to catch your rest. Wake up early in the morning and make yourself a hot beverage to watch the sunrise over the estuary from your bedroom window. Explore the town of Salcombe to find a plethora of activities and eateries; head to Salcombe North Sands with its crystal blue waters and rock pools, take a stroll through Overbeck's Garden, an Edwardian-style home with lovely art collections and a beautiful garden, tuck into some delicious pub grub at The Ferry Inn with its waterside beer garden and have some afternoon tea at Sailor V café. In the nearby town of Kingsbridge, you can sail across the estuary and spot local wildlife at Nature Calls Boat Tours, learn more about the town's history at Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum and end this trip with a family meal at Wild Artichokes. Take the scenic route to the bustling city of Plymouth and say hi to the marine life at the National Marine Aquarium, take a picnic over to West Hoe Park where the little ones can take a ride on the miniature train and enjoy fairground rides, then take a tour of the Royal Citadel, a 17th-century fortress. Plenty of adventures await you at 5 Melbury.

Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking, including the South West Coast path.

  • Jakki

    The views out of the windows are outstanding some of the best in the village. Situated between North Sands and the town you are set back from the main hustle. The apartment is cosy and comfortable with an abundance of extras - they have really thought of everything you need. Clean comfy beads - spotless bathrooms - it was a prefect escape. An oasis in a popular tourist area . Can wait to return to thank you

  • Mary Louise

    Everything was beautifully clean. There's a nice outdoor seating area which gets the evening sun for your Salcombe G&T. The fabulous views come at a cost - it is quite a steep hike up from town.
