“Custom House enjoys an incredible location right in the centre of town and on the harbour side offering amazing views of the estuary.”

It's a Great place if you have a family and don't fancy driving anywhere! The house is a bit dated inside but suited us as we did not have to fret about our 2 year old running amuck, but if you are looking for a bit of luxury, the house will disappoint as it is not immaculate. The best room at the top of the house really would benefit from having a double or king bed rather than two singles.

It's a Great place if you have a family and don't fancy driving anywhere! The house is a bit dated inside but suited us as we did not have to fret about our 2 year old running amuck, but if you are looking for a bit of luxury, the house will disappoint as it is not immaculate. The best room at the top of the house really would benefit from having a double or king bed rather than two singles. There is also a bit of noise from the pub directly behind the house, but then again you are right in the thick of it, which offers many other advantages (no climbing up hills for one!). Drinks on the balcony overlooking the water is wonderful and the house is well equipped. There is space outside for a car, which is a huge bonus for the centre of town. Overall a good stay, but not exceptional due to the beds, noise and decor/cleanliness.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your review of The Custom House in Salcombe. It was pleasing to hear how much you enjoyed the incredible location of this harbourside property , offering such amazing views of the estuary and right in the centre of town. We were also grateful for your additional feedback in respect of the property and do hope you choose to stay with us again.

“Comfortable and clean.”

A welcome pack with instructions would have been useful.

Many thanks for your positive review of both our service and your chosen holiday property, The Custom House in Salcombe. We were pleased to read your comments regarding the property and do hope you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your feedback regarding a welcome pack with instructions. This should have been readily available. We will check the property for the welcome pack and instructions during the next changeover. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. We do hope you choose to stay with us again.
Further to your recent valuable feedback we can confirm that there is both a Coast & Country Cottages Folder at the property as well as a folder with general information such as waste instructions, some local area information and a house guide A-Z. Also, user instructions for the AGA. Both are visibly placed on the kitchen island in the kitchen by the cleaners. We were sorry if they were not in place for your stay. We look forward to seeing you very soon. Sykes owner relations
“Stunning house in glorious location.”

Suits us brilliantly for a family holiday. Only drawback is lack of safe outdoor space for toddlers to run around.

Many thanks for your kind review in respect of our service and your chosen holiday property, The Custom House, in Salcombe. We were so pleased to read that this stunning house, in such a glorious location, suited your family so brilliantly. Due to its position on the quay, there is no space for toddlers to run around freely, but we can recommend the odd spot of supervised crabbing in this prime location! We look forward to welcoming you back to Salcombe very soon! Sykes owner relations

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.
