3 Melbury

A very good property in a nice location in Salcombe.

We thought it was clean and tidy with all the things we needed. The personal parking space was also welcome. We did think that the sofa bed could do with an upgrade (it was a bit uncomfortable) and the TV didn't always seem to work with the Wi-Fi. The view from the living room window was fantastic.

We thought the apartment was lovely.

It was very clean, cosy, and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The view from the lounge window was absolutely fantastic, although it was a shame that the outside of the window appeared difficult to access for cleaning. The beds were comfortable, and we appreciated the provision of spare batteries when we thought there was an issue with the remote control—which, as it turned out, was the problem all along! There are a few areas that could be improved. A small shelf above the basin in the shower room would be very useful, as there was nowhere convenient to put toiletries and my things kept falling everywhere. It was also disappointing that there were no recycling facilities, with all waste going into general rubbish. The balcony area could do with some attention, and the decking outside the front door became extremely slippery when it rained, which could easily lead to an accident. Some chicken wire or similar non-slip covering would help improve safety. Future guests should also be aware that the steep slope leading up to the car parking area is not for the faint-hearted, especially when carrying luggage. However, the climb is well worth it for such a lovely apartment and its wonderful setting. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would happily recommend the cottage.

This was a fantastic holiday rental for us as a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers.

The flat is really cosy, has great WiFi, lots of good storage space , easy parking and stunning views overlooking the estuary. The bedding and overall cleanliness was to a high standard. The option to split the double bed / have 2 bathrooms was the selling point for us. Yes, it was a steep walk home but this added to the holiday experience for us! Highly recommend this flat.

We had a really lovely stay at 3 Melbury.

The apartment was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and the views are just beautiful — a wonderful place to relax and enjoy Salcombe. The kitchen was well equipped and made it easy to feel at home during our stay. The seating area could do with a refresh, especially the armchair — when I repositioned the throw, it was quite worn underneath, which was a bit surprising. It also would have been handy to have a couple of extra essentials like spare toilet rolls. These were only very small things, and overall we had a fantastic time. It’s a gorgeous apartment in a stunning location, and we’d be delighted to stay again.

Very comfortable stay at 3 Melbury.

The attention to detail by the owners is top end, everything we needed and more was provided. Loved the large smart TV when watching the tennis. Parking was a bonus but some folk may struggle as 3 Melbury is on a gradient and the designated slot is higher up nearer the main entrance. Parking in Salcombe town isn't the best as they have PayByPhone machines. Folk will need the app on their phones or a bucket of change as the machines don't accept a debit card. Best to inform holiday makers pre holiday perhaps?

All very good, but info re bins/recycling out-of-date; no mention of the 'seagull' bags which apparently take all waste and recycling as advised by owner of one of the flats.

The chairs/table for the balcony were not available, as the cupboard they are apparently kept in was locked. Otherwise, no problems....we'll be back once the cable-cars and funicular have been completed!!

A lovely property, well equipped.

A lot of thought has gone into what to leave out for guest comfort and use

Well appointed and very comfortable beds.

Very clean and plenty of kitchenware. Lovely place to stay, good walk into town and the walk back up hill is hard going. Will definitely be back next year.

lovely apartment, very clean and well laid out with great views up the estuary Flat is quite high up so renters need to be aware fine for heading down to Salcombe but a bit of a climb back up!

Will certainly keep you fit

Lovely modern and comfortable property with great views.

Highly recommended. People need to be aware of the very steep hill but this is of course an issue for much of Salcombe.

Very clean, great views, would definitely stay again.

Overall fantastic. Only minor improvement points would be: - extra blankets would be nice as duvet quite thin and some windows don’t have a catch so can’t be left open at night - spare towels would be nice

We had a lovely stay here with are two young children and will definitely return!

Very comfortable and cozy. Superb views across the estuary. The hill climbs won't be for everyone but they are worth it for the views!

This was a fabulous property, we could not fault it in any way.

The bonus of having free, allocated parking was very useful. It is a long walk back up the hill, and if we were staying all week, we may have found this a bit tiring after a while, but the views are stunning and worth the climb! We would love to stay at this property again when we are back in Salcombe.

Lovely well equipped property in a quiet position.

View of the estuary from the lounge and balcony. Bit of a climb back up the hill after dinner each evening but worth it for the position.

Very well presented holiday accommodation, well laid out, lots of storage and kitchen equipment.

We couldn't find instructions for the cooker hob - our only issue really. Having a choice of bathrooms was good too - the showers were great. Lovely view from the balcony and lounge area. Only a short slightly steep walk from the carpark - which is a must have in Salcombe. Whilst it is on the first floor, there are no steps/stairs, as you arrive on the right level from the carpark. Salcombe itself was busy, we also visited Kingsbridge and Plymouth. We recommend the hour long Estuary cruise with Whitestrand boat hire - you can book online beforehand. Also we went the Victoria Inn twice, again by booking online, as the eating places were busy.

Probably the best provision of crockery, cutlery and glasses in any stay.

Usually there is never enough of anything and quality poor. Not in this case. Good parking, easy to get too and from Salcombe. Good location to drop down to the quay or to North Sands. A magic carpet ride back up the hill at the end of the day would be a great addition! The advantage of being at the top of the hill is the view and the quieter roads.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful apartment.

It was so bright, comfortable and clean with everything provided. The views were amazing, especially the sunrise. Parking was great and it was very quiet. Compliments to the cleaning team. Everything was immaculate.

Great holiday, apartment perfect with great views, very clean and well equipped.

This was a lovely apartment : clean, comfortable and very well equipped (except for absence of a soft broom).

The (double) bed mattress was superb as was the bed linnen. (Twin not used). Yes, it was a steep climb from town - but at least we were aware. It is about a 25 minute walk to town with the option of a semi woodland route as alternative to all road. The bus can assist with half of the route. The presence of the balcony made it a pleasure just to sit out, relax and soak up the beautiful view.

Such a beautiful property, great location for us short walk into town, stunning views we will be visiting again in the future!

We really loved the cottage, everything was great.

Fantastic location. Super clean and newly decorated. Lovely views. Excellent kitchen. Good linen. Comfy beds. However there was one one significant issue - the people who live in the flat upstairs are incredibly noisy (running around, banging, washing mashing on at 11pm). This really needs to be sorted out as it would stop us from rebooking such an excellent apartment

Excellent flat, all home comforts

When we arrived in the dark the small white sign Melbury is too small and hard to find appartment.

We had a wonderful holiday in a very comfortable flat.

Even when it rained we were happy to relax in the bright, airy accommodation. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and with sharp knives (not usual in self catering)! We slept well. The beds were so comfortable. We did have problems finding Melbury Flats. The sign was too low and overgrown.

3 Melbury is a lovely well equipped and comfortable apartment.

Fantastic apartment, beautifully updated with all you could need.

Please be aware of the very steep, lengthy walk back from town if you have any mobility issues. Otherwise this is a great place to spend a relaxing break.

The apartment was beautiful, well furnished, clean and we were left a little gift of Prosecco, coffee and biscuits by the owners, which is a lovely touch.

We enjoyed it so much we have booked again for Regatta weeks next year. The only disappointment was the old couple downstairs who complained about ‘noise pollution’ when our children were walking across the sitting room floor. There was no undue noise, no shouting, no arguing, nothing other than normal day-to-day noise. This put a slight dampener on the last day, however the lady who rang from Sykes about the ‘complaint’ was lovely and understanding, putting our minds at rest. I get the impression that the old couple downstairs enjoy making the odd complaint here and there! Other than that, great apartment, fantastic views, reasonably priced and totally relaxing. Oddly, the long uphill walk back from town is great for winding down before bed after a day on the water, Beach, shopping or walking.

The cleanliness was impeccable and it was a nice touch to leave tea bags, coffee (and Prosecco!

) out on arrival. The standard of interior furnishings, quality of bed mattresses etc really made it feel like a superior experience.
