"The house is large, bright and well appointed with modern bathrooms. It has a patio within the complex but no view although there is a communal bench outside with a lovely estuary view which we used frequently. It only has electric storage heaters which were impossible to work out hence the house was cold at times. The allocated numbered car park space within the complex is on a slope and a dip so was totally unsuitable for our low car, scraped the front. We used a different space as it was...

Salcombe

"The property was fine, being met with a pair of underpants on the outside banister didn’t bode well, but once inside it was fine. We are in our seventies so going downstairs in the morning with two cups of tea wasn’t ideal but we worked around it. The place was clean and very well equipped although we ate out every day. Salcombe is very niche and expensive although very beautiful and the natives were friendly enough. There are some lovely views a hilly walk away. There are National Trust gardens...

Gara Rock

10/10 Excellent

"Pricey and the drive wasn't the easiest, but worth it for the tranquility, facilities, dining, cocktails and staff. Rooms all different and well designed."

Harbour Hotel Salcombe

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel but a few things need sorting out. We had a large crack in the sink, chip on the bath and the carpets need a good clean. Staff and food were excellent. Car parking is difficult as it's on a steep hill and not a lot of room with large cars."

Stylish Cottage, central location with harbour view and double parking

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay, the cottage is in a great location with the added bonus of private parking, the cottage is beautifully presented and has everything you could possibly need, it is very spacious but with a cosy feel, beautiful cottage in beautiful Salcombe, we will definitely return again."

5 Bedroom House Walking distance to Beaches & Ferry to Salcombe

8/10 Good

"A large property in a beautiful location with enough bedroom space for 9 people with smaller family members in the bunk bed. Anybody with physical disabilities will find the many steps down to the beach difficult but perfect for a family with teenagers. Pros - The views are sensational and it is in a quiet, peaceful area. A fantastic garden with lots of space for dining, games and sunbathing (although no sun loungers) and good ability to keep on top of washing in utility room. Very short distance to the local beautiful beaches. A good beach cafe, farm shop and cafe and toilets close by. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking implements, we were glad we bought a huge saucepan to be able to cook for 9. A large fridge freezer was also very welcome. The kids loved the quirky layout of the house. This was a good family holiday with lots of beach fun with doggy in tow. Would highly recommend a trip to the pebble beach in Beesands and a meal at the cricket Inn. No smart TV was actually a good thing here and kept teenagers off devices.Cons - The property wasn’t particularly clean on arrival, dirty mugs under bed, a large amount of cobwebs and floors with lots of sand on. There were not enough instructions for appliances e.g. downstairs shower (has a booster in the kitchen cupboard) and the induction hob had to be googled. There were a few things that were not working quite correctly, the dishwasher doesn’t sit properly within the kitchen unit, the cooker door is unreliable an"
