A lovely spot to stay in Salcombe.. We had two families with toddlers (although if not safe on stairs you will need 4 stair gates) and it worked really well, nice a light airy space and estuary glimpses. Park with swings and slides were a very short walk away and the town centre was very close. Having parking was really helpful. We parked two cars no problem. You could get 4 in but would be a real squeeze. There were a few things that could be improved. Taps seemed to work in a order or priority from basement working up the house. i.e. if someone was having a shower downstairs none of the hot water taps above worked including the kitchen and upstairs en-suit. Not great if you have 8 people wanting to shower in the morning. All of the dishes and cutlery in the house were dirty on arrival plus pots and pans were all greasy. After using the dishwasher we found out why. The dish washer left a film of dirt and grease on everything (tried running it empty on a few cycles but no help) we ended up using it as a drying rack. Also the kick board under the dishwasher kept on catching when you opened the dishwasher - this needs reattaching. The windows could have been cleaned better on the inside - a lot of smears, especially at toddler height. On arrival towels had been forgotten and one of the radiators were leaking. C&CC very quickly arrived to provide towels and stop the leak.

We felt that the property could of been cleaner, and the outside space was particularly dirty.. There were not enough glasses to serve 8 people and there were only 7 dining chairs, one of which was broken. We also had a problem closing the doors on the ground floor twin bedroom balcony.
