Edward
The house was comfortable, stylishly furnished, warm and cosy. We only needed to use the 2 double bedrooms, which were both very comfortable. It is a 5-10 minute walk into town and the walk is quite steep (the same everywhere in Salcombe unless you stay right in the centre). Also, the driveway into Bonaventure Close is quite steep. This wasn't a problem for us, but may be for others. We would happily recommend and stay there again.

Plenty of storage. Kitchen equipment and extras well above the usual standard of holiday homes we have used. Consumables like liquid soap, kitchen foil etc were provided and much appreciated. The garden was well designed and maintained and was secure for the dog.
