A wonderful home in an excellent location
The house has bags of character and provided a very comfortable stay for our family of 8 ranging from age 14-80. Everything we could have wanted or needed was there. The beds were very comfy and the views were a delight. We were able to walk to the shop, pub and sea from the house and Salcombe was a short drive away.

Brilliant stay in a very comfy large cottage/ house
Large, comfortable, well equipped and warm house . Squashy comfortable sofas, good Wi-Fi. Fabulous garden which would be lovely in summer. Parking tricky for a larger vehicle ( we have VW camper van), especially reversing out onto the road.we had a lovely Christmas week here and loved coming back after walking along the wild and windy shores!!

Suited us really well
What a find. Comfortable and homely house with a wonderful view of the sea. Great location. We all enjoyed the generous welcome pack and appreciated all the niceties. Garden well equipped- we even used the hammock! Linen/ towels all good. Would have liked warning of the pond as we had a toddler. Many internal steps too. Overall we loved this property and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Super property.
