The pictures of the property look amazing, and the kitchen is nice. It is quite a small space without a proper eating space (only a breakfast table with stools). Iâd also say the property feels quite damp but again I think this might be usual for salcombe. The only other comment Iâd make is the parking couldnât fit two small or medium sized cars so people should be aware of this. Also your parking skills will need to be spot on as itâs a very narrow drive.

Loved the hot water tap in the kitchen. Bed was very comfortable lovely quilt and pillows. Property had been cleaned to a high standard. Had initial problem with Front door lock and fridge not working however Coast and Country sorted it out very quickly for us, excellent customer service ! Would recommend some instructions for other guests on how to lock the front door, found it tricky ! Only small criticism was, the bulbs need replacing in the fridge and oven not sure if owners are aware, and we felt it would be nice to have blinds on the front windows downstairs, although not overlooked feel a little exposed at night as people do walk past the property. Would be nice to have the privacy, Good location about 10 minutes walk into Salcombe, but very steep hill to climb on the way home, wouldn't recommend for anyone with mobility issues.

Its really conveniently situated for the town. The cottage is beautifully presented. The beds were extremely comfortable and amazing pillows and duvets. Although it says it can accommodate 6, it felt pretty cosy with 4 adults. I think 6 might feel overcrowded. In summer, when you are out all time, it probably doesn't matter. But in November and during a storm...it was compact. It's worth saying too that the double cabin bed won't be to everyone's liking. Takes some gymnastics to get in and out and actually to shut the door from inside. But incredibly comfortable to sleep in. It would have been helpful to have more information specific to the actual property esp how to make heating work. It was v cold and not obvious how to get the heating working. I tried the programmer but it didn't seem to come on at times it was set. The 'fireplace' was wonderful. The boiling water on tap was great. Being picky, but some oven gloves would help...using tea towels isnt ideal as there are only 2 provided. Potato masher would be helpful too. A roasting tin or two as well. The dimmer switch in seating area was temperamental- sometimes it was v difficult to turn lights off. We are used to recycling plastics, paper, tins etc, and it was hard to discover how to do that locally. Again, some more property specific info would have been helpful. Shower room v compact but excellent shower with good hot water and great power. In downstairs loo, not sure the lighting cord on the flush is really up to the job! Key pick up and drop off very easy. We didn't get to use garden as weather wasn't conducive but some great views up the top.
