The bedding was tired, yellowed and faded and the sheet didnt fit the bed properly, I had to keep getting up to wrestle it over the corners. Apart from that, it was really good, but no tea and coffee on arrival which was irritating as had just completed a 7 hour drive

The location is perfect only a few yards away from the waterside. We think it may help to modernise or upgrade the shower which we found difficult to avoid overspill out from the tray. Also a toilet roll and hand soap would help albeit we have left some at each sink. Overall we were delighted with our choice and absolutely love staying in Salcombe so hope to visit again soon.

Although I was surprised that the extremely steep stair case (with rope to pull oneself up) to access the upstairs living room and kitchen were not pointed out by Coast & Country along with photos provided of the staircase in the property Ad. Some holiday makers less fit than my husband and myself would have really struggled with the steep stairs and I would have thought Coast & Country have a duty of care to highlight this in their Ad. I have never come across such deep, steep stairs apart from in Church Belfry Towers. It is centrally located which is good but also rather noisy with the seagulls nesting nearby!
