Guests say
Ferrydown is a cosy cottage in the heart of Salcombe, praised for its central location and homely feel. Guests enjoy the views and proximity to local amenities. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the property's cleanliness and comfort are generally well-regarded, making it a popular choice for repeat visits.
The property is described as very clean by most guests, with only one mention of mould on the bathroom ceiling. The overall impression is that of a well-maintained property.
The location is consistently highlighted as excellent, with its central position in Salcombe, easy access to local attractions, and lovely views.
Comfort is generally good, with a particularly comfy bed mentioned. However, there are several comments about an uncomfortable sofa and awkward bath/shower setup, which slightly lower the score.
Facilities are adequate, but there are several reports of electrical issues and maintenance concerns like a non-working electric towel rail and a high fuse box. These issues are promptly addressed but indicate room for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

I had a fantastic week in Ferry down. The bed was extremely comfy and the location was fantastic. It felt really clean, warm and cosy. If you're a tall person you will only be able to bath as the shower is just attached to the end of the bath, and a meter up the wall from the bath. Being only five foot I could shower sitting in the bath. But I would so recommend the apartment. ( Although I don't want to give it too much praise as i might find it difficult to book again! )

We stayed for a long weekend in January. Ferrydown was a warm cosy cottage for 2 people. It is right in the centre of Salcombe so easy to walk to everything. It was very quiet but I imagine in high season it could be a bit noisy. Nice views . Well equipped.

Only 3 stars because of awkward bath/shower setup, electrics tripped 3 times and lack of parking. Maybe permit should be included.
