Guests say
Guests appreciate the stunning views and beautiful location of the cottage, with its proximity to Salcombe and local beaches. The property is well-equipped and offers a comfortable stay for two, with a small patio that is perfect for enjoying the scenery. While some guests mention a damp smell and dated decor, the overall experience is enhanced by the property's charm and setting.
Cleanliness
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though some guests noted issues with a damp smell and a specific incident of a milk spillage in the fridge. Regular cleaning is evident, but there is room for improvement, particularly with the upkeep of the kitchen and bathroom.
Location
The location scores highly with guests, who love the superb views of the estuary and the convenience of being within walking distance to Salcombe and beaches. The steep climb to the property is noted, but it does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback about the location.
Comfort
Comfort is adequate, with some guests finding the beds and chairs less than ideal. The property is cosy for two people, but the furnishings could benefit from an update to enhance comfort levels.
Facilities
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay. However, guests have mentioned the need for better WiFi, more comfortable furniture, and issues with dampness. The lack of broadband is a drawback for some.
