Region: Devon, with its quiet country lanes, patchwork of lush green fields and sleepy villages is not to be missed. Stately home lovers will be spoiled and why not finish with a scrumptious Devonshire cream tea?

Town: 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.

Lovely light and airy property

Lovely property.Heating was excellent- important as the weather was dreadful! South Sands is a 30 minute walk from Salcombe which was fine for us but others may wish for a central location. It would have been helpful to know this on the website. Other than that the property was great.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication

Online communication inadequate

Despite repeated requests well in advance the king size bed was not prepared as twins although I was told twice that housekeeping was sent the request. It was very annoying and inconvenient for our family. Also thought g if acing to take bottles off the premises was ridiculous as recycling should be offered on site. Nice place overall
