Guests say
1 Hazeldene in Salcombe offers stunning sea views and a prime location near the beach and town. Guests appreciate the property's spaciousness, parking convenience, and the beautiful surroundings. While some find the property comfortable and well-equipped, others suggest it could benefit from updates and a more thorough cleaning. The steep access may challenge those with mobility issues, but many find the location ideal for exploring Salcombe.
Reviews indicate that while the property is generally clean, there are recurring mentions of specific areas needing attention, such as the oven, dining table, and some instances of mould. The property appears to be cleaned to a basic standard, but several guests felt the need to clean further upon arrival.
The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to North Sands and Salcombe, offering excellent views and easy access to local attractions. However, the steep hills and numerous steps to the property may not be suitable for everyone.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the flat spacious with a pleasant lounge area. However, some guests mention that the property, particularly the kitchen, feels a bit tired and could use some TLC.
The property is appreciated for its basic facilities, but several reviews mention the need for maintenance and updates, particularly in the kitchen. Issues with appliances and the lack of a dishwasher are noted. The parking space is also mentioned as being tight for larger vehicles.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, this score cannot be determined.

The only things I would say that were slightly bad is that it needs a bit of TLC. We found a screwdriver and fixed the door out to the terrace as the screws had come loose. The main bedroom door handle also feels like it will come off soon, quite loose. Otherwise a lovely apartment with a great view
