  The property could do with some modernization and polish.

  There were numerous cracks in the plaster, including a large one in the bedroom ceiling. The repair which had been done on previous damage to the bedroom ceiling also looked poorly finished. The paintwork around the property was also poorly finished in places, including paint on door handles and light fixtures. The extractor fan in the bathroom was also pretty well clogged with dirt and dust, and rust was visible around the edges of the mirror too. These may seem like minor issues, but combined it makes the property feel tired and old. The garden could have done with some grass in it too, as opposed to the stone chippings, I understand this is a personal preference, however, with the property welcoming dogs, grass is certainly more welcome to them. While I appreciate nothing can be done about the parking situation, it should be made very clear in the listing about the angle of the slope. With an older car like ours, we struggled to safely park, putting stress on the handbrake and running high on the clutch. We had to put bricks under the wheels, to stop the car slipping down the slope. This could be dangerous if people are trying to unload the car and the vehicle starts to slip. There was not much storage space for our food, so we left it out on the countertop, however, should the property be renovated I'm sure this is something that could be addressed. The house is in a really good location, with a great outlook too.

  Just a note to say how fantastic Blue Haze was last week - a brilliant family home fully equipped with everything we could need for the eight of us to enjoy a lovely week in Salcombe with fabulous weather. The house is in a perfect position to walk down into town and back . Each room was beautiful and fitted with ensuites or access to a private for everyone. Dining and open plan kitchen fully equipped for everything we needed and the scones on arrival was a lovely touch. The decking area was fabulous and sunny all day and into the evening to enjoy some alfresco dining. Having the two car park spaces was a bonus but it was easy enough to have the other two cars at Bonfire Hill on the long stay car park and everything was all extremely accessible and flexible. We would give 5 out of 5 star rating for this beautiful home, and also to Finest Stays team who I have dealt with over the last year five out of five for the friendly and prompt service at all times. Thank you again until next time when we will be back in Salcombe and in touch to book our accommodation.

  Sadly the house was dirty, dusty, dated, basic & overall unloved.

  Unsure when the property was last cleaned as the dust was thick, the number of bugs in the bathroom light was disgusting & the spider webs in every corner of ever room looked well established. The cleaner had left a cloth on one of the beds which was well dry so guessing it’s been a while. Also the bedsheets were dirty! The house is tired, clearly the owners don’t care about it & have done nothing to it since they came into ownership of it. It is dated & basic. The TV doesn’t work, there is no DVD player as advertised and no sound system. The properties either side of 2 Rockmount are stunning, which makes this house look even worse! The access via stairs isn’t bad, but the over grown bushes which hang over the steps at the back & the front of the property are! This house hasn’t seen TLC for a long time. I reported the TV not working on our 1st day & my concerns regarding the property’s hygiene etc, no one got back to me! Overall, I would not recommend this property to anyone!

  This a beautiful property that is warm, comfortable and well equipped. The views are lovely and it’s great to be so central to town and all its amenities. It was a treat to have The White Company products in the bathroom, and we loved the electric fireplace and cosy blankets - great for an October visit! It would have been the cherry on the cake to have a welcome pack with a some milk/essentials on arrival. We had a lovely few days there and enjoyed visiting Hope Cove, took the foot ferry to Mill Bay and walked along to Gara Rock - a lovely 3/4 mile walk. Also did a (hilly!) 5 mile run to Snapes Point, with nice views. Visited Burgh Island, Bigbury Beach, Bantham Beach and South Milton Sands - all well worth a visit! Went to The Victoria Inn for a good meal (you do need to book as it does get busy) and of course fish and chips! It can get a little noisy with the pub, upstairs guests and bin men, but that aside it was a lovely restful break! Thank you!

  Overall we were very happy with our stay at the property.

  Just a few issues the owner may want to consider addressing. 1. Issue regards parking on driveway needs to be addressed more. Had a neighbour come round after a day or so to tell me to move our car onto the driveway. His manner was not good . The driveway entrance needs to be looked at. Firstly the kerb needs lowering. My car with 5 passenger's in was bottoming out when either drove in or out. In other words the the sills of the car were scraping on the kerb which has caused damage to my car. Driveway needs widening.... Not a lot of room width wise. Also bathroom shower curtain needs replacing. If you are not careful water can easily get on bathroom floor causing a leak in to kitchen below. Finally better instruction's need to be provided for kitchen appliances. Eg . Cooker, washing machine and drier. Also TV in living room as well. TV doesn't seem to have Freeview installed? Sorry to be picky....But have been asked to give feedback.
