About this house rental

A spacious family house with pleasant out look to the front providing the following accommodation:
Ground floor: Living room with dining area. The living room has patio doors opening onto a large front terrace with views through the trees to the water below. Kitchen with breakfast table. Down stairs cloakroom with WC.
First floor: 3 bedrooms all with TV. Master with bathroom en suite and second double bedroom to the front. Third with two single beds at the back of the house has a side patio door. Family bathroom. Broadband Wi-Fi.
Roof level: There is a decked roof terrace with garden furniture on the roof, a real sun trap even on just a mild day, just the place to relax and read that book. A small garden with established planting is beyond.
Steps leading up to the garden behind the property are rather steep for very young children. They can be closed off by the side gate if required.


South Hams region: South Devon or the South Hams as it is known is surrounded by beautiful countryside with plenty to do and explore. The stunning coastline is some of the most beautiful in England
The location offers a climate which is unique to the UK. The very mild winters allow many sub-tropical plants to survive in the region.

Salcombe is a small picturesque town in the South Hams district of Devon, South-West England. The town is close to the mouth of the Estuary and lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Salcombe area: The Coastal Footpath has many interesting stretches but nowhere more magnificent than either side of Salcombe. Beyond North Sands (our nearest) beach and South Sands bay with dinghies for hire is the NT house Sharpitor with sub-tropical gardens. Further on is the magnificent Bolt Head and then to Bolberry down and the Port Light Hotel.

This modern family house looks down on the Salcombe estuary toward East-Portlemouth and the wonderful sandy beaches on the eastern side of the estuary. This shore can be reached by ferry from Salcombe. (10 min walk) You can walk to the sea from here and along the coastal footpath to Prawl Point.

Bigbury Island a short drive up the coast is a favorite spot to for wind and kite-surfers. There is also a celebrated walk around the Avon valley from here.

The South Hams has a feast of fine villages overflowing with fine scenery and taverns to suit all. Come and explore.

Upon entering, smelt musty. In kitchen - dirty dishes from previous renters including mould in coffee cup. No key for back door which would be a fire escapeToilet - didn’t work and smeltLighting/Electrical problemsLounge - food on floor and rubbish & papers/magazines from previous people. Some lights not working. Main Bedroom - toilet not cleaned. Rubbish in bin. Cobwebs and spiders throughout. Window sills dirty and dusty. Requested bed linen. Nothing when we arrived, had to chase several times. Eventually arrived at around 8pm. Lack of general health and safety eg smoke alarms. The overall property was not cleaned properly. Didn’t feel welcome by owners, felt like we were being a nuisance.

Great location high up in Salcombe with estuary views through the trees. Lots of space and outside decks for seating. Two parking spaces and a 10 min walk to the harbour shops. Quite steep so good exercise!

My self and my sistor had a fabulous time at this property. We had a few teething problems to begin with, which the owner sorted. Steep hill into town kept us fit.

As a family we have stayed in various Salcombe properties and this one was the most spacious by far. Spectacular views and the location (10 minutes walk into town) was perfect.

Lovely big house, + parking -- a HUGE bonus in Salcombe. Lots of space. Roof terrace - although many steep stairs up to it, (& carrying sunbeds was a challenge !!) - a total sun trap. Kitchen a little dated but everything you could need. Except a sieve , colanders don't really work for rice.

Apart from noisy plumbing and dripping tap a great place to stay.

Nothing says “Welcome to my home” better than a bag of trash by the front door! We took photos and sent them to the caretaker and heard nothing. I had to contact VRBO two days prior to our arrival because we had not received any information about check-in. When the owner did contact me he informed me that linens were not included! We were a family of 6 so one can imagine the amount of towels, dish towels sheets, duvet covers…added to the rest of our baggage. This property had not been cleaned professionally and so having to clean and make up beds etc is not a holiday. Brochures and info is 10 years old. It took us 2 days to find the key for the back door! The 10 minute walk to town is down a long steep hill. This is not suitable for anyone with compromised mobility or even someone pushing a stroller/pushchair. There is no garden or barbecue. We did not sit out front at all as no one wants to sit near a bag of trash! Salcombe is a lovely town, but this property was not what we expected.
