We loved every aspect and had the most amazing stay at Lilleby. The house had a real sense of class and style and the views are incredible. We loved walking to the beaches then coming back ‘home’ to this stunning property. The pool table and hot tub also added an extra layer of luxury to the experience. We are regular visitors to Salcombe lots of school holiday periods and we are hoping to come back soon. Thanks so much to the owners for sharing their property with us.
