Well equipped with everything you could need . Fab kitchen with lovely views . Massive main bedroom and bathroom with underfloor heating . My husband and I stayed in the smaller twin room which was comfy. The shower room is small but we managed at our height if 5ft 5. Perfect for a stay in salcombe would recommend Nice outdoor seating area as well

Parking arrangements worked well for us. The accommodation was great for the two of us and everything was spotless. It was well equipped to a very high standard. The little patio provided great views and a welcome outside space. We had everything we needed for a very relaxing break. Only problem we found was that DVD player connected to the TV OK, but didnât seem to read the discs. Overall a very positive experience. Thanks.

The view was lovely and we would certainly like to return one day. Only minor niggle was that the rubbish was not collected and the details in the property about recycling at the Batson Creek car park should be amended as they no longer exist.
