Sally there were aspects of the house which were disappointing. Cleanliness was an issue for example the patio furniture was very dirty and in nice weather would have been nice to sit on, the skirting boards and windows were dirty and under the stairs. No coffee pods for espresso machine. Upstairs sink didnât work. Bins overflowing

Facilities were great, we had everything we needed and the house is decorated beautifully. The utility room and games cupboard were very much appreciated on a wet weekend! It is great that the property includes a parking permit although it is worth noting that the car park was a bit of a walk from the property (we parked in the creek car park initially). It wasnât an issue for us and we actually ended up finding a couple of unlimited parking spaces a lot closer to the house once we. Would definitely come back again.

Perfect for 2 families sharing and really comfortable. So many thoughtful features like laundry room, Bluetooth speakers, coffee machine, ice and welcome packs. Great location in the heart of Salcombe and free parking for one car was really helpful. We would definitely stay again as were really impressed.
