"A very cosy and warm cottage."
Good location and although in the middle of shops still quiet at night. Short walk to boats and very convenient. Lovely views of harbour and estuary.
Thank you - so glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

"The cottage is in the heart of Salcombe and has the most fantastic views of the estuary."
It is a delight to open the curtains in the morning and watch the harbour come to life. Being so central you can expect noise from late night revellers, but this is to be expected. The car park is a fair walk away so bear this in mind when booking especially if you have small children. Trying to bring the car down Fore Street is a challenge and quite stressful when the town is SO busy, on arrival and departure it was very difficult to unload and pack up.
The beds are comfortable and the shower is powerful. However, the cottage is tired and in need of investment, it’s a mish mash of old furniture with little thought to making it a comfortable and stylish experience for guests. The downstairs bedroom is an almost windowless room which feels very damp and the adjoining bathroom is very dark. Neither of my teenage kids wanted to sleep down there. For us the views didn’t make up for a disappointing stay.
Thank you for your comments following your stay at Spinnaker Cottage. We find that the pictures of the property are accurately representative, so it is a shame that you found the furnishings not to your liking. It would seem that this property did not match your families requirements; due to its central location in a busy town, its likely to suffer from noise disruption. The car park is located a flat, 5-7 minute walk away, and there is a lay-by which you can to pull in to for vehicle loading and unloading, but we do appreciate that this is not guaranteed especially in the height of the season.
We are glad that you enjoyed the fantastic views, and hope that we can welcome you back to Salcombe again soon.

"Lovely cottage."
..parking a nightmare....couldn’t find the car park at 5pm tried to ring for directions no answer ....car park too far away from cottage and had to transfer car park halfway through the week...left early emailed to say key in overnight box..still no response!
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback regarding your recent stay at Spinnaker Cottage. We are glad that you thought the cottage was lovely.
Seasonal County Council changes to the local car parks meant you had to change during your visit, we are sorry if this was an inconvenience for you. The Salcombe office, where you collected the keys from, is open until 6pm during peak periods should guests need to pop in, as the phone lines can get quite busy at times.
We do hope that we are able to welcome you back to the area very soon.

"Car parking a bit of an issue."
Advertised with parking at rear of premises in January when we booked but the parking space was given up with the agreement of salcombe new apartments next door... who i presume wanted the parking space back
We were not told about the new parking arrangements in the long term car park until we re read the details. Enquired and queried by a phone call to the office in Salcombe and promised a response by email.
This was poor customer service as the response was not followed through.
We had my elderly parents 91 and 88 so parking near by was important but we coped.
Never the less the cottage was beautiful, well furnished with fantastic weather and views from the balcony.The cottage had lovely character and well suited to being near the town.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback regarding your recent stay at Spinnaker Cottage.

The parking permit for Spinnaker Cottage was advertised on the website from the end of 2019, we are sorry that you missed this information on the website when booking. We do hope that we are able to welcome you back to Salcombe soon. Property Owner

"We were told before travelling that all construction work on the exterior of the building opposite would be completed."
This was not the case - metal girders above window frames were still being ‘adjusted’ and required cutting of brick and metal! There was noise before 0800 on the first two mornings and from 0801 subsequently (after we had complained) and it continued all day. There are no doors/windows, so all drilling work inside is loud and disturbing. This level of activity was not accurately conveyed to ourselves prior to arrival; it prevented lie-ins and afternoon naps, both of which enhance a holiday!
The property was wonderful, however. The views are stunning, the boat-house and water access are fantastic and the central location, with parking, can’t be beaten.
Many thanks for your valuable feedback. We are sorry that the ongoing building work meant that you weren’t able to enjoy your holiday to its full potential.
Please be assured that your comments have been taken on board. We are pleased to hear that the property itself lived up to your expectations and agree estuary views are indeed a ‘major plus’ for this property. Spinnakers amazing central location and allocated parking are a real bonus and we look forward to welcoming you back to the area in the near future.

"Quirky cottage which was ideally located on the waterfront and in the hustle and bustle of Salcombe."
Pubs, shops, ferries and lovely walks all from the front door .
Well fitted out throughout. Private parking which is a bonus in Salcombe
We were warned of building work opposite and a reduction given although no problem from opposite. However painters and joiners were working next door at The Salcombe and there were many vans each morning so when we returned if out with car our parking space was gone! Still they went home at night and musical parking was all in good humour!!!
Balcony small and looses the sun in the afternoon but that was mentioned in information.
Maybe a little small for 6 adults but great for a family
All in all a dear little place which was exceedingly good value
We would highly recommend it and look forward to a return journey

"Cottage only rates 3 stars."
The downstairs bedroom was gloomy and pokey. From there you then had to descend down a further flight of steps to the boat store to access the freezer and washing machine. The balcony was small, 2 people max. Although there were beds for 6, any more than 4 visitors would make it very cramped. I've added the extra star as having the estuary views is a major plus for any property in Salcombe.

"The cottage was fine but really suffered from lack of outside space."
It would be very advantageous if a deal could be done so one could use the Salcombe holiday flats garden. Also, the washer/drier was dreadful and really needs updating.
