Second visit to this apartment, first was 2 years ago. Good location for Salcombe, could park up, and walk/ferry everywhere for the week. Lovely views of Batsons Creek and apartment well fitted out. Some small housekeeping issues. Had to clean the lower oven before use as it was very greasy, bathroom radiators need a wipe over and a few areas had been missed with the hoover and duster. Could do with a couple of new pillows in the main bedroom, though none of these things would stop me booking again.

The super king bed was very comfortable and although there were only the two of us we enjoyed having two bathrooms and a spare bedroom. The open views towards Batson Creek are delightful. Weâd love to stay here again. Two tiny maintenance items weâd like to mention- the freezer needs defrosting and we felt the main bedroom would benefit from blackout curtains.

Nice touches with lighting, bed comfortable and modern bathrooms. Sofa not very comfortable- more of an issue as due to weather during our stay meant we spent more time indoors. Picking up keys from office ok for us but keysafe preferable after long drive. Walk back uphill could be a challenge for some. Noise from flat above was persistent so did impact on our enjoyment. TV is relatively new but had to reset programmes several times. Definitely book with Coast & Country Cottages again but probably not the apartment.
