Guests say
2 Rockmount in Salcombe offers stunning views and a convenient location for exploring the town and surrounding areas. Guests have appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the comfort of the beds, with some enjoying welcome treats. The property's elevated position requires navigating steps, which provides a good vantage point but may be challenging for some.
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with several guests finding the property spotless, while others reported it as dirty and dusty. The inconsistency suggests room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for its great views and proximity to Salcombe and local amenities. The steep steps and parking situation are noted, but the location's benefits seem to outweigh these challenges.
Guests have found the beds comfortable and the living space adequate. However, some have mentioned that the furniture and fittings are dated, and the property could benefit from modernisation to enhance overall comfort.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and an amazing shower. However, there are reports of maintenance issues and a lack of certain expected amenities, such as a functional TV and BBQ, which affects the score.
While some guests mentioned welcome treats, there is not enough consistent information about the provision of such gifts or other thoughtful touches to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such treats are a bonus and not guaranteed.

John
Spotlessly clean. Great location but be aware of having to walk up a steep hill from the town centre followed by 60 steps to front door. Not for the faint hearted. Also car parking very limited. Would struggle with anything bigger than an average sized saloon car. However overall would thoroughly recommend and would definitely look to return.

Steep parking spot, but convenient for the town. Lots of steps (as described), difficult when loading and unloading the car. Very happy with our choice.

The house was clean and had everything we needed apart from a travel cot which we took with us. The sofa and beds were very comfy with a beautiful view to the estuary from the front balcony seats. The location was great for walking into town and very beneficial having a parking space- albeit very steep, but we always remembered to leave it in gear and got used to the steel steps to the house. We would stay here again and recommend.
