Guests have enjoyed the stunning views and prime location of 2 North Crest House in Salcombe, appreciating its well-equipped kitchen and spaciousness. While some guests encountered issues with cleanliness and comfort, the property's charm and proximity to the harbour make it a desirable holiday rental.
Reviews indicate a mix of experiences with cleanliness. Some guests found the property clean, while others reported issues such as unvacuumed carpets and dust. The inconsistency suggests room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and proximity to the harbour, making it a highlight for many guests. The convenience of the location contributes positively to the overall experience.
Comfort received mixed feedback. Guests loved the spaciousness but criticised the quality of mattresses and lack of blackout blinds, which affected their sleep quality. These aspects suggest that comfort could be enhanced.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-stocked kitchen. However, guests noted issues with parking, the need for a dryer, and maintenance of furniture and fittings. Improvements in these areas could enhance the overall facility score.

About this property
Situated in a quiet location above the picturesque town of Salcombe, 2 North Crest House is a pleasant two-storey mid terrace house a short walk away from the bustling town centre.
This spacious two-bedroom property is accessed from the shared garden at the front. Leading in to a hallway, a flight of stairs leads to a small family bathroom with a bath, shower (over) w.c and basin and further stairs open on to a light and airy landing complete with dining table and chairs for four guests. A fully fitted kitchen with modern appliances offers stunning views across the town towards Batson Creek and the Salcombe Estuary. Double French doors open into a spacious and comfortable lounge with comfortable sofa’s, occasional furniture and a coal-effect gas fire.
Up a further flight of stairs are the bedrooms and a further family bathroom with shower cubicle, w.c and wash-hand basin. The master bedroom provides a comfortable King-sized bed, drawers and a hanging rail. The second bedroom has two single beds and a useful “day bed” which can be used as a sofa or an additional third bed on request. In addition, private parking for one car is provided nearby at the rear of the property.
The ideal base for a coastal break, take the short walk into central Salcombe and catch the passenger ferry over to the sandy beaches at East Portlemouth. Alternatively, try your hand at sailing, or simply enjoy the town’s selection of eateries.
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.

The house appeared to have not been cleaned, used towels still in bathroom, and bed left as last person got out of it. Communicating this to Sykes was a long laborious process dealing with three separate departments and getting cut off after about 5 minutes holding on. Eventually two ladies came and did a thorough clean and left house clean. Itâs a nice house with parking for one car 4 minute walk away.

It is looking extremely shabby from the outside, paintwork in need of attention, front garden full of weeds. It's a lovely house, but is looking a bit neglected. Kitchen well equipped, lounge spacious and comfortable, main bedroom needs fitted sheets that actually fit. On a positive note, the views of the estuary from the kitchen and bedrooms are fantastic and Coast & Country are an excellent company to deal with.

It is situated at the top of a hill so lots of leg work getting home! The cottage itself was very well equipped, spacious and the most amazing views! The only issue we had was with finding the parking space however, when we found it we couldnât access it due to works going on in the car park. I would love to return and would happily recommend it to friends and family.
