The cottage is really clean and comfortable and is in a lovely peaceful countryside location not too far from the sea. There's a nice private garden to sit out in, when the weather's good. Wonderful walks from the door in all directions. There really is no need to use the car. There is a convenience store in Marlborough which we found useful.

What more could you ask for? Salcombe only 8 mins by car.

The fixtures and fittings are all 1st class although the downstairs shower is a little small. Overall we could not fault the accommodation. The owner lives next door and was very helpful in advising us how to navigate Salcombe as the roads in the village are mostly single tack. The area would be great for anyone who enjoys walking as there are many opportunities from the doorstep.
