Guests say
Rock Point in Salcombe is a well-appointed cottage with modern decor, praised for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and great location. Guests enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen and the thoughtful touch of a welcome bottle of gin, although this is not guaranteed. Some maintenance issues were noted, but overall, guests had positive experiences.
The property received compliments for its cleanliness, with guests noting it was very clean upon arrival. However, one review mentioned a poorly presented garden, which slightly impacts the score.
The location is highly regarded, being close to Salcombe Harbour and within walking distance to town. The convenience and scenic surroundings contribute to a high score.
Guests found the beds extremely comfortable and the house spacious. However, the size of the en-suite was a drawback for some, affecting the comfort level.
While the property is modern and well-equipped, several reviews cited maintenance issues such as a non-working tumble dryer, leaking radiator, and a conservatory roof. The kitchen was well-stocked, but some appliances needed attention.
The provision of a welcome bottle of gin was mentioned positively in reviews, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and no other consistent gestures were noted, a specific score cannot be provided.
About this property
Rock Point nestles in the town of Salcombe, lying in the South of Devon in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. All rooms in this accommodation mostly lie on one level.
Resting in a quiet area just a short walk from the town centre, there is a drive leading up to the property accompanied by six stone steps bringing you to the entrance.
The drive has the capacity for two vehicles, making it the perfect place if you’re seeking some quality time near the coast with family or friends.
Head through the front door to the main hallway, where you will find a spacious sitting room complete with a woodburning stove for those cosy winter nights.
Double doors lead you into the conservatory, filled with natural light where you can enjoy family meals together. This area conveniently has access to the beautifully presented and well-equipped kitchen, as well as doors leading onto the stone terrace where you can take in the view.

Three well-presented bedrooms can be found adjacent from one another. The master bedroom boasts an impressive en-suite as well as a relaxing super king-size bed.

We had stayed at the property previously so knew what to expect. Itâs excellent to have the benefit of parking in Salcombe. We had an issue with TVs not working and quickly realised this was because remotes controls were missing batteries and an aerial cable was missing from bedroom 2. This was quickly rectified by the maintenance team. The wine cooler fridge is not working and the maintenance man tried changing the fuse to no avail. The PlayStation listed in Bedroom 3 isnât there anymore and on asking we were informed it was broken and hadnât been replaced. Beds were comfy and the property clean and spacious. Fridge space was a bit limited especially with no door basket for milk etc (assumed broken and removed) and this could be improved by adding a 2nd fridge in the utility room. The property was well equipped and we had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay and would return in the future.

Great location, just a 5 minute walk to the town and the ferries. Very clean well equipped house for the family with super king beds and lots of room outside for the kids to play in an enclosed garden which also had a very sheltered patio seating area, most importantly for Salcombe off road parking! Lovely surprise to have a welcome bottle of gin on arrival too!

Cooking pans in need of replacement, work tops in need of replacement. Advertised as parking for 2 cars, which is important in Salcombe due to the restricted parking. Genuinely could not park in designated areas due to severe slopes in two directions. My vehicle is standard saloon car, I attempted to drive forward/ reverse into the designated parking area and failed due to the underside of the car catching on the tarmac. This was tried by approaching at different angles, I believe this is due to the slopes being dual directional. Should be advertised as not suitable for vehicles with low ground clearance.
