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.
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.
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 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 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.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
Found at the upper end of Devon Road and within 10/15 minutes walk of the town is the studio apartment Sunrise, 8 Melbury. Salcombe’s waterfront, shops and restaurants and within easy walking distance and the sandy beach at North Sands is just a few minutes’ drive away. There are excellent views towards South Pool Creek from the studio and patio.
There is a small well-equipped kitchen and the living and bedroom area is a good sized, comfortable room combining living and sleeping quarters! Furnished with a pine double bed with two comfortable armchairs, bedside unit, pine table with three chairs and digital TV. The large picture-window provides estuary views. Separate sliding doors leading to kitchen and bathroom respectively, whilst the bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over.
Outside is a patio with table and chairs and use of communal garden with tables and chairs at the rear of the property. There is parking at the rear of the property.
Please note there is a slope down to the property from the parking area at the rear. If accessing the property from Devon Road there are some steps.
Salcombe is a popular destination for watersports enthusiasts, walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea. There are several pretty beaches within a short distance, including North Sands and South Sands, plus the coves East Portlemouth on the opposite side of the estuary, just a short passenger ferry ride away. Also on your doorstep is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, coasteering, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe, take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking on the South West Coast path.
