  • "Been visiting Salcombe for 25 years, this is one of the best properties we have stayed in."

    The view is amazing from the living room.

  • "We absolutely love staying at Higher Cliftonville."

    The views are incredible and the balcony is a real sun trap, especially in the mornings. Watching the sun come up over towards South Pool with a morning coffee was my favourite thing to do! Fabulous location close to everything and the place was spotless. The welcome gift hamper is so lovely and very generous. Having a parking pass is also a huge benefit in Salcombe too. As I’ve said before, this is our new favourite place to stay in Salcombe and we’ve been coming here for nearly 20 years!

  • "Lovely accommodation overall with amazing views."

    Quality throughout the property. A couple of little things that we noticed is that it would have been nice to have hairdryers in all the bedrooms. The door in the little bedroom was creaky, so was difficult not making a noise going to the bathroom in middle of the night. There was evidence that it had not been cleaned thoroughly. We had to clean the patio windows in order to enjoy the view. There were sweets left behind from previous occupants in a tub and in drawer. We did like the little touch of welcome pack left for us. We definitely enjoyed our stay and will recommend to others.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Higher Cliftonville. We are sorry that the windows were not as clean as we would hope. The windows are regularly cleaned but due to the central location the seagulls love to come and visit. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

  • "I think we’ve found our new favourite place to stay in Salcombe and we’ve been coming for twenty years!"

    !! The views are amazing, spotless, well equipped and very comfortable. We can’t wait for our two week stay next year!

    Thank you for the kind feedback, so pleased you had a great stay. We are trying to continually improve the property. Since your stay we have re decorated the halls, stairs and landings, added a voil curtain in the lounge and automated the blind in the second bedroom. Look forward to welcoming you back next year.

  • "Clean & tidy."

    Great location being close to the town and amenities. A couple of kitchen items short for a 6 person property but no real issue.. Heating stat a little temperamental. Fabulous views. There are some out of date reviews on social media about the living room patio doors being misted up. They are not, as new sliding doors have been installed. Occupants of the two road facing bedrooms on the first floor need to be prepared for a little street noise. The owners could do with tidying up the front porch as it lets the property down, The above constructive comments take nothing away from a great stay and we would have no hesitation in booking again,

  • "The renovations since last year, add to the excellence of the apartment."

    The new balcony and windows, enhance the views, and make the experience of staying in Higher Cliftonville, even more splendid. Second bedroom is much improved, too.

  • "It was a pleasure to stay in your beautiful property overlooking the park with views of the very special estuary which means so much to us."

    We have been visiting Salcombe for 10 years and we really enjoyed your property. A very comfortable master bedroom bed and we found the property to be equipped well.

  • "On arrival I noticed the blind was not up at the window, I called Coast & Country to come they said they would come on Monday which they didn’t come for the whole week."

    The fridge was dirty with a spillage, the coffee machine was very dirty in the milk frother, and I noticed it was dusty on the bedroom lights. The cleanliness was disappointing as I feel it wasn’t cleaned properly, which is a shame as the property is beautiful but needs to be cleaned better.

    Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We can only apologise for the miss communication regarding the blinds, we will investigate why this was not addressed during your stay. We are surprised at the cleanliness comments as we have not had these in the past. We have passed them onto the cleaner to ensure these bits are addressed and do not occur again. We hope you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed all Salcombe has to offer. Property Owner

  • "We were aware in advance of the main window being fogged up."

    Fortunately the very warm weather allowed us to have the adjoining door open and use the balcony to sit out and take in the fabulous views. Although the balcony area itself does need a good clean up. The kitchen bin from the previous guests had not been emptied and as previously highlighted the entrance hallway needs a new light bulb and the parked car belonging to the other property made access with luggage and shopping difficult. We only used the main bedroom which was very comfortable and en-suite which was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped. As mentioned the plus point for the property is the view over Salcombe.

    Many thanks for your constructive feedback. The main window did suddenly become fogged and shortly after your stay we replaced the main window as a temporary solution as we had other guests scheduled. Since then, the window and door leading onto the balcony have been replaced with top quality, low profile, aluminium sliding glass doors. This has transformed the views from the main lounge and living area. Furthermore, the balcony, railings and decking have been replaced with quality composite decking and a glass balcony, further enhancing the views. In addition, new sensor lights have been installed by the front door and further enhancements made to both bedrooms to imporove the accommodation and storage. We love the property and plan to continue its ongoing improvement. Property Owner

  • "The apartment was great and well equipped."

    We were already aware about the issues with the picture in window in the lounge . Very disappointed about rubbish situation at the property though , the outside bin was full when we arrived and despite two calls to Sykes during our stay it remained full with no action taken meaning a weeks worth of rubbish had to be left in the property and we left it in the kitchen on our departure, not great.

  • "The apartment was as described and was clean and tidy."

    Just a few points to make: Roses in the vase were completely dead when we arrived indicating that the property hadn't been checked for days. Only two loo rolls - one in each bathroom were not enough for a week's stay. Only two dishwasher tablets for a whole week. No oven gloves - had to take things out of the oven with tea towels. No light in ground floor hall so pitch black when opening the apartment door. Car parked in space in front of front door made it difficult to enter with shopping. Broken blind in balcony window. Main window permanently fogged up.
