“We were happy with our choice from the moment we walked into the apartment.”
It was clean, well presented and had a homely feel to it. No frills, but everything we needed, which was exactly what we wanted. The location is about as central as you can get, there's a butcher, a grocer and a bakery within a few paces of the door and the internet connection was good.
There's always a negative, and in this case it was the noise from the street. It goes hand in hand with being so central, so we can't complain. The bedroom windows open onto the street (but thankfully 2 floors above). The street gets a high footfall until well after midnight, then at 5AM the delivery vehicles start arriving to service the nearby shops etc. Closing the window wasn't really an option, as we needed the ventilation. The compromise in the end was to close the bedroom window, open other windows in the flat and leave the bedroom door open.
The only other minor niggle was that the duvet was heavy and too hot for the summer.
The positives far outweighed the negatives, and we would definitely come back.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback regarding 8b Fore Street- it sounds like the property suited you very well. We were sorry to hear that you were affected by noise from the surrounding area and hope that this was not too disruptive. We trust that you had an enjoyable stay in spite of this issue and hope to welcome you back to Salcombe again soon.
