Super holiday Thanks Please ask the property managers to paint the flagpole outside the window and replace the tatty flags

- David, August 2024

The flag pole has already been flagged up as in need of replacement or removal with the property manager, hopefully for action over the coming winter period. Property Owner

“This is the second year we have stayed at 34 The Salcombe.”

We throughly enjoyed it as much as last year. We had never stayed in a studio apartment before and No 34 is really super, having everything you need in lovely condition, just like your own home We would throughly recommend it

Christine June 2024

“We had a lovely week at The Salcombe.”

The apartment was well equipped and the bed was so comfortable for a pull down bed. The view was lovely to wake up to in a morning and I could just sit all day watching the activities going on in the harbour. Will definitely book again.

“Our 4th time at The Salcombe apartments & our 2nd time at Number 34.”

It’s very well positioned, you have your own car parking space ( a premium in Salcombe) and access to a shared heated swimming pool. Number 34 has a large balcony which faces east, so great for sunny breakfasts.There was a fold down bed & as there were only two of us we left it down all the time. There is a laundry on site, which we didn’t use. We missed a dishwasher in the apartment, but we were impressed with the refurbishment that had been done since our last visit. P.S. A new mattress is needed please!

- Anthony, August 2023

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are thrilled to hear you love The Salcombe Apartments, especially Number 34, the view from the balcony really is something special. We were surprised to read your comment on the mattress as this was new in 2021, however the owner has provided a new mattress topper. We have not had a comment of this nature in the past, that being said they are very much down to personal taste. We do hope that we can welcome back to Salcombe and Number 34 in the not too distant future. Property Owner

“The studio apartment was clean, well equipped comfortable and really nicely decorated with a good sized balcony getting the morning sun/early afternoon sun.”

The location was excellent beautiful views across the estuary. There was lovely clothing shops an excellent butchers and bakers close by. A short ferry ride to take you to beaches was at the bottom of the garden. The pool was lovely and and the garden was well kept. It would be nice to have sun loungers available in store room and a drainer for kitchen sink as no dishwasher. Also to give guests 2 sets of keys on arrival we had to go back for 2nd set. Highly recommend as a great holiday location and apartment.

- Charles, May 2023

Many thanks for your feedback. We are so pleased you loved the apartment, the view from the balcony really is beautiful. We are pleased to report that there is now a drainer in the kitchen and the owner has purchased new balcony furniture. We do hope to welcome you back to Salcombe in the near future. Property Owner
Stewart April 2023

“The property is well located in the main street with coffee shops and pubs close by.”

It is well appointed and very clean. Great views over the harbour from the balcony. It has recently been refurbished. We were not aware the laundry room was shared and there was a cost to washing and drying . However it was clean and functional. Would stay there again.

- Stewart, April 2023

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are thrilled you loved the property, it really does have incredible views. We can only apologise that you were not aware of the laundry set up, communal washing machine and dryers are noted in the apartment’s description on the website, however we thank you for pointing out that it fails to mention that coins are required to operate them & the website has now been updated to reflect this. We do hope we can welcome you back to Salcombe soon. Property Owner

“Improved crockery & more cooking intensils.”

Better saucepans. Lovely location, very clean & comfortable.

- Mary, September 2022

Many thanks for your feedback. We are so pleased you found the apartment clean and comfortable. Since your visit the property has undergone redecoration with a new carpet and stunning artwork. Along with this, there is now a brand new dining and cutlery set, with the addition of a new saucepan and frying pan set. We hope you had a lovely holiday and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Lorraine September 2022

“A fantastic location with spectacular views.”

The apartment is very clean. I did feel upon arrival that it needs decorating. It’s looking tired. The bathroom is lovely, new and modern and has lots of storage. Although the kitchen is very nice , it does need all new kitchen utensils , pots and pans , cutlery , mugs and dinner set etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our week , weather was fantastic which meant we were able to eat and relax on the balcony every day. Overall a nice apartment for 2 people just needs some updating.

- Lorraine, September 2022

Many thanks for leaving your feedback. We are thrilled you loved the location of the property, the views really are special. Many thanks for your comments on the overall appearance of the property, having spoken with the owner, the apartment is booked to have a major redecoration next month once the season has ended. Unfortunately last winter the decorator ran out of available time to do this and had to postpone his time slot to November 2022. Replacing the kitchen items is also on the refurbishment list. We are so pleased you enjoyed your week and do hope we can welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Anthony August 2022

“A nice apartment with a balcony with wonderful views of the estuary.”

Perfect location in Salcombe & with a car parking space. We parked up & hardly used the car all week. Negative points would be the quality & condition of the crockery & cutlery. That said we have booked the same apartment for next year!!

- Anthony, August 2022
Sandra July 2022

“A great property with everything we needed.”

The storage available in the bathroom is really useful. The balcony is a really good size so plenty of room to eat and relax outside. The view is AMAZING!

- Sandra, July 2022
Helen October 2021

“Amazing location with breathtaking views from apartment.”

Convenient access to regular ferries through garden gate. Car not needed for entire holiday.

- Helen, October 2021

Thank you for leaving us your feedback. We were really pleased to read that you enjoyed the apartment. The views are certainly stunning. We look forward to welcoming you back sometime soon. Coast and Country Cottages on behalf of, Property Owner

“Extremely pleased with everything”

Linda September 2021

“34 The Salcombe was a perfect location with stunning views from the balcony .”

A privacy screen between the balconies would have been nice but that didn’t detract from the enjoyment. I know the owner had replaced the mattress recently making the bed very comfortable, this was much appreciated. The apartment had everything that we needed with a super shower. We ate out every day in Salcombe all the pubs and restaurants serving wonderful food , our least favourite being the Harbour Hotel and our favourite being the Crab Shed. Like everyone else it would have been much better to collect and return the keys from reception at the apartments rather than fight with traffic and parking at Coast and Country . Surely there could be some liaison between them regarding this? Overall fantastic break in a beautiful part of our country.

- Linda, September 2021

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your lovely feedback. We are thrilled you loved the apartment and the area. Thank you for your comments regarding the keys, we would prefer to meet as many of our guests as possible and give them our direct contact details should they be needed during their holiday. We hope to welcome you back to Salcombe soon. Property Owner
William September 2021

“Excellent accommodation.”

Lovely studio with fantastic view. We were lucky enough to have good weather so could also enjoy using the balcony which was bigger than expected. Good kitchen facilities. Plenty of cooking utensils. Bathroom very clean, super shower and lovely fluffy towels. There wasn’t anywhere to plug in my hairdryer near to a mirror so I had to buy an extension lead. Comfortable bed and so easy to get down and put away, much easier than a sofa bed. We didn’t bother getting the car out all week as the little ferries were so near and it was easy to walk everywhere from the apartment. Eating out was a bit limited due to places having staffing shortages and therefore not open every day hopefully that will improve with time. Overall an excellent stay which we would recommend.

- William, September 2021

We’d like to thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were really pleased to read that you found the apartment comfortable and that it provided you with everything you required for your stay. Following your comments regarding using a hairdryer the owner has now installed an additional mirror which is closer to a socket so a hairdryer/straighteners can be used in front of the mirror. We were sorry to read that you had some difficulty with booking restaurants during your stay. Unfortunately, the hospitality industry saw a high number of covid cases during the summer which meant they did not have the capacity to meet demand, we can only apologise for these circumstances and hope that you were still able to thoroughly enjoy Salcombe and the stunning views on offer.

“It's a bit of a pain having to collect and drop off the keys/parking permit from the Coast and Country offices in Salcombe.”

Would be so much better if they could be collected/returned from the office at The Salcombe.

- Elaine, August 2021

Many thanks for leaving your feedback. We are sorry to hear that collecting the keys from our office was inconvenient and whilst we would prefer to meet as many of our guests as possible and give them our direct contact details should they be needed during their holiday, there is a keysafe box at The Salcombe which can be made available by special request to collect keys.

Rupert August 2021

“Stunning location with stunning views.”

Great heated outdoor pool in beautiful well maintained gardens with your own private board walk/pontoon with pria the mooring for a boat. Well equipped accommodation comfortable and great large balcony with enjoy a glass or 2 looking at the vista.

- Rupert, August 2021

Many thanks for leaving us your feedback. We were really pleased to read that you enjoyed your visit here to number 34 and that the apartment provided you with all the facilities your required during your stay. We very much look forward to welcoming you back soon. Coast and Country and behalf of, Property Owner
Sandra July 2021

“The apartments location is it’s best feature.”

It’s in the centre of Salcombe with fantastic views and the balcony was lovely to sit out on. Very near the where you could pick up the boat for the beach. We were lucky enough to have a heatwave so we rarely used the car. The mattress was fine for us (others have said it wasn’t) kitchen area and general decor is a tad dated. A coffee table would have been nice inside. Check in and out were fine with parking easy - even though we were in July. Pool area lovely and clean. Would go back.

- Sandra, July 2021

Thank you so much for your feedback, we agree this apartment is located in a fabulous position in Salcombe and really happy to hear you had a lovely time. The owner has now replaced the mattress with a New Royal Sovereign Mattress and a stylish Coffee Table has been added to the lounge. We do hope to see you return to Salcombe soon. Property Owner
Anna July 2021

“Lovely flat - however the bed is not that comfy and that makes a difference when you are on holiday.”

Can't beat the views though

- Anna, July 2021
Philip June 2021

“Property would benefit from parasol on balcony and coffee table in lounge.”

Creaking floorboards from above a nuisance at night!

- Philip, June 2021

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, The Salcombe apartments, as a building do not allow parasols. This is due to the position of the building being on the water front were the wind can be unpredictable. We have passed your feedback onto the owner and she is now looking to get a coffee table for the lounge. We hope you had an enjoyable stay at 34 The Salcombe and look forward to welcoming you back to the area soon. Property Owner
Helen May 2021

“Had a lovely holiday.”

Nice new bathroom in the apartment. The kitchen was also very nice, clean and had everything we needed. The rest of the apartment could do with a bit of updating, although it was all very clean and tidy. The only thing that wasn’t that great was the bed…. I thought it was reasonably comfortable, although my partner found it uncomfortable and said it gave him a bad back. Also, there was no headboard, due to the nature of the pull-down design. This meant the pillows kept falling off, down the back of the bed. The balcony was lovely, nice size with comfortable seats and gorgeous views. The communal gardens were also a great place to chill out in the sun. We would return, especially if the bed was improved. Maybe a mattress topper would make it more comfortable.

The property

Nestling in the heart of the famous Salcombe waterfront, shops and restaurants lies the Salcombe Apartments.

These are unique in the area for having their own private gardens, outdoor heated swimming pool, reserved car parking spaces and dedicated pontoon mooring for each apartment with a slipway in the lower car park.

Within the stylish building is this third floor studio apartment, 34 The Salcombe.

Bring your partner to this wonderful property to bask in the Summer sunshine on it's spacious corner balcony with the added benefit of a private pool and waterfront gardens to enjoy.

After an action-packed day of exploring, make your way up to the third-floor to find the studio-style accommodation, boasting a well equipped kitchen, as well as sliding doors onto the balcony showcasing the magnificent harbour views as you cook, dine and relax for the evening.

The kitchen is well-equipped for catering for yourselves and the dining table offers a social spot for you and your partner to raise a glass to a wonderful holiday in Devon before sinking into the sofa and flicking through the channels of the TV.

When sleep calls, pull down the double bed, snuggle up under the sheets, and look forward to the next day’s adventure; the studio also comes with an additional single sofa bed (by request) should you wish to bring another guest along with you.

Take your morning cup of tea out onto the corner balcony, with Salcombe’s stunning waterfront as your backdrop, or choose to roam the beautiful shared gardens or take a dip in the heated swimming pool before heading out for a day of adventure.

Immerse yourself in your local surroundings further by exploring the winding streets of this pretty town, home to a plethora of shops and places to eat and drink, with many opportunities to sample freshly caught seafood.

Summer afternoons can be spent lazing on the sands at the two nearby beaches of North Sands and South Sands or look forward to discovering the subtropical garden at the National Trust property of Overbecks situated just a short distance away.

Alternatively, take a ferry or bring your own boat moored on the private pontoon, to cross the estuary and spend the day at the sandy beaches at East Portlemouth or travel further afield to the market towns of Kingsbridge or Totnes.

With so much to see and do secure your stay at 34 the Salcombe and look forward to the adventure.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.
