"An ideal location close to the town, it has everything you need."
Steps up to apartment are a bit steep but a great apartment.

"Lovely stay at Lower Fernlea, very close to everything we needed in beautiful ..."
Lovely stay at Lower Fernlea, very close to everything we needed in beautiful Salcombe, very clean and well equipped accommodation, just a little mention, really do need bed linen that actually fits the double bed, and a more comfortable duvet would be perfect
-

"The location is great and having off street parking is a bonus."
Unfortunately the people using the flat above Lower Fernlea were very noisy and could be heard very clearly through the ceiling and the walls upstairs.
-
"We had a lovely week in Lower Fernlea, despite the weather not being as kind as normal."
We found the accommodation to be clean and well maintained and was in a perfect position for all the amenities that Salcombe has to offer. The sun terrace was great for breakfast and the parking below was definitely a bonus. We will come back next year and have already recommended Lower Fernlea to our friends.

"We enjoyed a lovely week long stay at Lower Fernlea."
It was a great base to explore Salcombe and the wider area. The property was as advertised and was in a good clean condition when we arrived. We took one large vehicle and it easily parked in the space available. I would think two medium size cars (e.g. Ford Focus) would be a squeeze. The availability of the EV charger will likely be very beneficial to anyone with and EV travelling a long distance or planning to explore a lot. Whilst the upstairs bedrooms are only 2’6” they were manageable for an adult during our stay, although anyone of greater than average height would really struggle for headroom when using the shower in the adjacent bathroom. In comparison the ground floor en-suite was much more suited to somebody taller. We reported a couple of issues at the end of our stay. The broadband went faulty on the final day but there were good mobile signals on the EE and O2 networks in the area so we managed. The timer on the boiler kept stopping, which meant sometimes the boiler may not have come on before we got home or not gone off. In the end we just resorted to manual activation. We wanted the owner to be aware so that this wasn’t wasting energy and their money. Overall, this was a good property, well suited to our stay and we would consider it again in the future.

"No complaints and service amazing"

"Lovely property and very well equipped."
It’s the perfect location for a trip to Salcombe. We absolutely loved our stay and would love to come back. Thank you for allowing us to bring my dog too, it was his first time going to the seaside and he loved it. He also loved watching people from the outside area walking past the property.
Thank you Chloe for your feedback and so happy to see you and family enjoyed your stay at Lower Fernlea Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay in Salcombe."
Lower Ferlea is ideally placed to walk into town where there are plenty of pubs restaurants and lovely shops plus the Quay and the most stunning views you could ever wish for. The apartment was a nice size. 2 bathrooms and parking was a real asset. The 2nd bedroom is fairly small and has no wardrobe which is fine for a short stay but it was a bit tight for 2 adults. Also had small problem with ants in the property. There was ant killer provided so I guess this must be an ongoing problem. We rectified the problem with water but may need some further investigation. The apartment is equipped with many extras in the kitchen to make it feel homely and comfortable. We had some noise (scrapping of chairs) from the apartment above but as we were out and about a lot this was not a problem for us but useful to know. The apartment has a lovely large balcony which was a real sun trap. The umbrella was a real bonus and provided the shade we needed. We had a lovely stay and would recommend to others.

"We have stayed in many properties in Salcombe and this is one of the better ones."
The location is brilliant and the terrace is great. The property is a good size for a family of four with young children (ours are 13 and 10) and was clean, tidy, comfortable and well maintained. The only downside was that the people staying upstairs (in another property) were very noisy in the early mornings.
Dear Sally, thank you for your review and we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Great location and lovely property"

Clean when we arrived and easy to keep clean. One of the better apartments, we have stayed in.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were really pleased to read that you found the apartment comfortable for your stay. We have passed on your cleanliness praises to the housekeeping team and would like to thank you for this. Coast and Country Cottages on behalf of, Property Owner

"Great cottage in a fantastic location, so easy to walk into Salcombe."
Very comfy mattress, slept really well! Really thoughtfully equipped. Super clean. We had a lovely stay and feel this cottage is quite the find!
Thank you for leaving us your feedback.

We have passed on your cleanliness praises to our housekeeping team who were really pleased to learn that this was satisfactory for your visit. We very much look forward to welcoming you back soon.

"Really nice place with everything that we could have wanted."
Great to have the patio and chairs out front with the sun on it until mid afternoon and also to have onsite parking. Short but steepish walk into Salcombe centre and handy to have the park virtually opposite for walking the dog early and late in the day. Only slight downside on the property was the bed was a little too firm for our liking. I would also make a point about having to pick the keys up from the Agent's office on arrival rather than have a secure key case outside the property to access. Despite having set off early (we had a 300 mile drive) traffic delays on the way put us under pressure to get to the office by the final pick up time of 16.00 and when we tried to phone ahead to advise that, firstly we couldn't get a signal and when we did, we were put through to the head office. They were able to advise of the backup arrangements, which shortly afterwards were messaged to me by the local office but perhaps the back up arrangements could have been advised in the directions and pick up instructions sent out beforehand?
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were pleased to read that you had an enjoyable stay. We were only sorry that you had some difficulty with the key arrangements at the beginning of your stay, we have passed on your suggestion for a keysafe to the owner and can only apologise for the inconvenience caused. We hope this did not detract too largely from what is a beautiful week in Salcombe and very much look forward to welcoming you back soon. Coast and Country Cottages on behalf of, Property Owner

"This is our second visit as met our requirements and such a good location."
Shower trim on shower door upstairs could do with a clean. Lovely time despite the weather. Best wishes
-
"I suspect someone came in and fixed a lighting issue on Saturday morning whilst we were out - which we were grateful for as the sitting area light were either out or flickering on Friday night when we arrived."
Might have been nice to have been informed that someone was going into the property though! A rug in the sitting area would have been appreciated - cold floor! Otherwise - lovely cottage - great location and parking. Managed to use the patio furniture too!

"Great service from C&C over the Christmas Holiday - nice house and 'as ..."
Great service from C&C over the Christmas Holiday - nice house and 'as advertised' in the centre of town but still private - very pleased and would recommend - thank you
-
"No perfect for a week away and ideally situated just 2 mins walk into the centre-real benefit especially in the summer is the parking."
-
"Great location, as only a few minutes walk to the main street and estuary."
Balcony out front was very spacious and a sun trap for most of the day, having parking spaces was great (officially 2 but we only had 1 car, would have been a squeeze to get 2 in). The house itself was well laid out, and had all amenities for a week's holiday. Spotlessly clean. Double bedded room had a relatively small bed in it, and the mattress was a bit too soft for our liking, which was our only negative
-
"Good property."
Excellent location. Well equipped. Some issue with noise from flat above causing problems for sleeping of very young child in our party.
-
"Great property & location in Salcombe, opposite the park & close to Main Street."
Modern, spacious & clean decor. Worked very well for our family & dog. Great outdoor space & parking space a bonus. Only slight downside was noise from surrounding property above. However, will look to book again next year. Great service from property company.

"As previously stated."

"Spacious & nicely decorated."
A great property for a family break with a dog. Great location & area.

"Good location."
Nice apartment. Sleeps 4 but not equipped properly for 4. Needs a few diy jobs but nothing that would spoil your stay. Lovely sun terrace.
-
"Lovely apartment, thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
2 points to note: the bin lid did not work and my brand new car had 3 big White patches on the roof and windscreen of milky white paint presumably caused by the driving rain into the open carport. It has been quite tricky to get off. Staff at C and C clearly were aware of the issue, might be worth warning future residents.
-
"The apartment was lovely."
Very comfortable and everything you needed was provided.
-
"The place was ideal for a weeks stay, not too fussy but it was up for sale and felt a little tired around the edges."
One or two areas could have been a bit cleaner, we mopped the whole downstairs area on arrival
-
"Great until the hot water died on our last morning."
-
"Nice accommodation but unfortunately the bathroom had not been cleaned so I had to do it when we arrived and the bed appeared not to have been changed."
Not the usual standard as we have stayed many times in coast and country cottages and always been delighted.

It was ok, looked tired, chipped glasses, bed linen needs replacing, booking in November shouldn't make a difference to the standard of the property

"Lovely flat and fantastic roof terrace which we used daily"

About the location
SALCOMBE
Kingsbridge 7 miles; Dartmouth 21 miles; Plymouth 24 miles; Paignton 26 miles.
Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on 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, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must 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, including the South West Coast path.
