What guests are saying
Perfect location, comfortable beds and modern bathroom.
Nice cosy interior. If I was to be negative, I would point out the smell of damp downstairs and the kitchen could do with being replaced. A few maintenance issues- Shower filter blocked and shower overflows and bathroom fan needs cleaning. Would return for another stay!
Perfect location and a cosy cottage.
We stayed over Christmas 2025 for 5 days. We are a couple and with adult children doing their own thing we decided to go to Salcombe which we visit regularly. The spare bedroom has bunks we didn't need so it was used as a handy changing room and walk in wardrobe. The location is perfect, opposite the Salcombe Gin distillery! Close to all the great pubs and restaurants, Tap house, Fortescue, Victoria. My wife was overjoyed as there are no hills! The cottage is well appointed, open plan lounge kitchen diner. The area at the front is shared with 3 other. Properties but gate makes it secure to let your dog out. We took our spaniel and she had a great time also. The cottage is well maintained and modern. Fast fibre WiFi and a smart TV. The TV apps are limited so take your fire TV stick if you want the full choice you're used to at home and the convenience of all the apps being logged in. There's no parking so budget for Island street or Creek. If You're not using the car at all (or seldom) the cheapest per 24hours is top of bonfire hill. But allow for the driver to take a brisk walk up a lot of elevation. You can park outside for unloading. Harbour side or lower town accomodation is usually smaller than upper town and included parking is rare, but this is the tradeoff for the ideal hill-less location. Great stay, highly recommended.
Everything was very nice in the cottage.
The outside area could have been improved by a screen around the bins the hedge trimmed back & a few weeds removed. The bins smelt pretty awful, plus one had not been emptied,luckily I was up when the bin men arrived they sorted the last guests recycling for me as it’s a bit tricky. I think you need to leave better instructions. They would have left it again if I hadn’t caught them. I went around to Coastal office to explain all this,
