  • "The property location could not be bettered for access to North Sands and walking into the centre of Salcombe and we loved being able to see the sea and across the valley from the apartment."

    The off road parking is an absolute bonus and the heating and hot water systems very efficient. The property manager was very helpful and the maintenance engineer checked the new fridge/ freezer just after we arrived. Acknowledging that our stay was towards the end of the 'season', the outside areas were not particularly inviting. The BBQ looked as if it had not been used for a long time, the gas was disconnected and it looked unsafe. There is a rusted wheelbarrow and boat trailer in the garden along with broken pots, and lights that do not work and the lid of the refuse bin is broken The covered area ceiling was very dirty with algae and signs of persistent leaks and some of the plants are very overgrown. As another guest mentioned, this was obviously a stunning apartment when it was refurbished, with good quality fittings that have stood the test of time (the shower, kitchen ovens, hob and dishwasher). We enjoyed that it felt very much like a home with the extensive books and games available to guests. However, the soft furnishings are showing their age and the tiled floor is very marked and cracked. We expect to find cobwebs etc as holiday properties are rarely cleaned to the standard of your own home, but when adjusting the sofa cushions there was a seasons worth of crumbs and dust underneath. We only used the bedroom with the ensuite shower and the bed was decidedly uncomfortable after a while and you could feel the springs. Would we visit again? Not sure, the apartment above was unoccupied until the last night of our stay, when the noise from above was intrusive and unsettled our dog.

  • "We have been visiting St Elmo Lodge for many years, I have read previous reviews from as far back as 2015, and I am disappointed to say, that the main points raised previously have been ignored, I refer to the décor, curtains cleanliness etc."

    to highlight some issues, the decoration is the same as when we first came, there is a trim missing from the kitchen cupboard this has been like this for 2 years. the net curtains do not meet nor do any of the curtains function correctly, I do know some of the curtains are mock curtains. the dishwasher had water in it from previous guests, the washing machine had a terrible odour, both appliances were given a service wash. I feel the owners do not care about the property, as long as they can charge premium price, trading on their laurels from previous years and the location. the out door space and views are fantastic, although the area where the barbeque is situated non of the lights or water feature work, they did in years gone by. We love Salcombe and the position of St Elmo Lodge, I just wish the owners loved this property as much. In the reviews the comment relating to upstairs noise issues says resolved, this is untrue as the noise from upstairs can be unbearable at times. The service provided by Coast and Country is excellent with prompt responses to issues raised.

  • "A lovely positioned lodge with beautiful views."

    We had a lovely week, apart from no heating all bar a little gas fire but that didn’t heat the bedrooms or the tail rails. And it’s a shame it’s not looked after better…we left it cleaner than we found it! We had noisy people above with stomping and scraping furniture but luckily they left at beginning of our week there. Other than that it was nice, with potential to be great

    Thankyou for the feedback on the heating. We had all the heating checked and the boiler, underfloor heating and electrical towel rails are all operational. The thermostat on the kitchen wall was set at 12 degrees and presumably was not turned up and the underfloor heating not turned on. Apologies if the instructions in the tenants welcome pack are not sufficiently clear and these will be reviewed and revised if necessary. Property Owner

  • "We did enjoy our stay, and will return."

    I am amazed how little time is given to clean the property between guests, when are the properties given a deep clean, the young girl who did the cleaning, did an amazing job in the little time she had, this should be a three hour clean with two people, I am surprised that the integrated fridge freezer was not repaired as this had been mentioned in the comments. The view as always is perfect, the garden is a delight, easy access to the Winking Prawn and a lovely walk into Salcombe, we do love coming to St Elmo's Lodge. A decorating refresh would not go amiss.

    Thankyou for your feedback The fridge / freezer being integrated was on a lead time of 2-3 weeks although the old one was functional I understand. Apologies for this delay. Property Owner

  • "Had a really lovely week."

    Marred only by overflowing refuse bin which had not been sorted. No recycling is a concern as everywhere should be able to do this easily and St Elmo Court recycle. Barbecue couldn’t be used as very dirty along with baking trays which needed washing. Felt it was clean but not spotless. C and C sorted refuse bin and offered to clean barbecue but my son had gone home by then and he wanted to barbecue. Could not use water dispenser. Hope this is seen as helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would like to book again for next year and possibly more bookings this year. Thankyou for sharing your lovely property.

    Our refuse collection is through the counties only 100% recycling collection company (DCW) whose marketing logo is 'Zero to Landfill'. This percentage is unmatched by South Hams District Council. Tenants are responsible for putting out the bins as collection day is on a Monday and am afraid are inconsistent in this request. Property Owner

  • "The property is in a great location and could be really nice however it is in desperate need of refurbishment, furniture is tired and dirty to the point that we couldn’t sit on sofas and stools, bed linen and curtains are old and worn, outside furniture and decked areas need maintaining or replacing certainly not somewhere you would want to spend the day."

    As for the “cleaners” I would be asking for a refund if I were the owners, whilst the property was tidy and the beds were made the floors were filthy and the cleaning items provided were even worse, we had to buy a mop to clean the floors throughout. The property is also full of clutter that isn’t required in a rental property. A real shame as the property could be so much more with the right improvements.

    Many thanks for your feedback, although we were concerned to read that the property was not satisfactorily presented prior to your arrival. As you will appreciate, we work very hard with our owners and housekeepers to ensure high standards of cleanliness are maintained, so it is very disappointing to read these comments. Your feedback has been passed on to the housekeeper/cleaner concerned and we will request that the floors, in particular, are given a thorough clean. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please know that if you had let us know of any issues during your stay we would have done our best to rectify them as soon as possible. We are also grateful for the comment in respect of the overall appearance of the property and will pass on your feedback to the owners.

    The front garden and terrace are wonderful and the location really makes it. Rooms spacious and comfortable. Agree that some of the furniture could do with updating (especially sofas), but for a holiday let, it's really well furnished and decorated otherwise. We were a bit rudely awoken on our last night by a family who had obviously booked the apartments which are above (and you access them round the back), they had opened our gate and driven in. It should be made very clear to people staying at the flats that they should not be entering St Elmo's Lodge driveway. Other than that, no complaints and would definitely return.

    Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. The owner takes great pride in their property and so we’re sorry you feel some of the furniture could do with updating. Our apologies for the disruption to your final night, we have suggested a private sign be put up on the gateway. Despite this, we hope you were able to thoroughly enjoy your stay here and hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

    A drawer unit in the dining area has been coming off the wall for well over four years now and really should be replaced. The main bedroom would benefit from being decorated and the curtains replaced, as indeed the ones in the lounge should be. The main bedroom suite really should have a super king size bed like the one in the guest bedroom. The pink rug has been there for as long as we can remember and really has seen better days. Also all the garden furniture needs replacing. The owners have been trading on the stunning location, and there are very few places in Salcombe that can better it, but at the premium price paid they really should give the property a face lift.

    St Elmo's Lodge was extremely well presented when the current owners refurbished the property, but as the years have passed it has begun to look a little tired and could do with a bit of T.L.C.

  • "We had a wonderful few days at St."

    Elmo Lodge. The apartment has been furnished beautifully, and has amazing views over North Sands. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you could possibly need for a self-catering holiday (although we mostly did the 20 minute walk into Salcombe and ate out). The terrace/balcony was a joy to use, even in mid-September, sitting out there with a glass of wine in the evening was worth the premium price for the apartment. There were a couple of niggles that we had, namely the extremely firm mattress (although we found extra bedding so managed to make a sort of mattress topper), and the lack of shelving in the shower for shampoo etc, but these really are minor things and would certainly not stop us from staying at the apartment again on future visits to Salcombe.

  • "The location was lovely but regrettably our stay was disappointing due to the poor quality of the mattresses as we were unable to have a good night's sleep."

    The main bedroom was the worst; so we tried the second bedroom and the mattress was the same. One of us ended up sleeping on the bottom bunk bed as the mattress was slightly better. This is said to be 5 star. If so, the mattresses should be of a high quality and they certainly were not. Also the table outside had not been cleaned and was dirty as were the glass panels outside. Due to the rating and price paid then improvements should be made to reflect this and certainly the beds. In addition I agree with other comments regarding the noise from upstairs. I would only return if the mattresses are upgraded and more attention to the outside areas especially when guests are attending in the main summer season and will be sitting outside. A disappointing stay.

    We are grateful for your comments about our service and pleased to hear how regularly you stay with us both in and around Salcombe. We were delighted to read that you felt the property was in a great location for your holiday. With regard to your feedback regarding the mattress, the owners have now replaced the previous high quality mattress with a medium/firm variety. The owners were obviously very disappointed to read your comments and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused during your stay. We were also grateful to you for your feedback regarding the outside areas and clearly sorry that the property did not meet your expectations in respect of cleanliness. Overall, the feedback received about this property has been very positive with many customers returning again year after year. As a consequence, we have arranged for the areas mentioned to be cleaned and were very disappointed that the cleaning was not up to the usual high standards on this occasion. Thank you again, for your continued loyal custom, we hope that you will book a return stay at the property in the future. Property Owner

  • "After several visits to the Lodge we are in agreement with recent comments in the property book - the location is as good as we have experienced in and around Salcombe over more than 30 years of holidays "but" there are several things that detract from the 5 star rating: the mattress in the principal bedroom is not as firm and supportive as it was on our first visit (has it been changed and downgraded?"

    ) The chipped crockery and poor quality of cooking equipment was a disappointment for us as we love to buy local produce and prepare our own meals (the new BBQ was in need of a good clean and we opted not to use it). For the first time we experienced almost a week of noises from above - were there improvements and redecoration works being undertaken? We heard every sound, every door and drawer movement, the washing machine / dryer was a real entertainment and constand heavy footfalls. Despite this I will not rate the Lodge as "poor or worse" although our two week stay was not as pleasant as earlier visits.

About the location

SALCOMBE

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.
