Guests say
Estuary House Flat 3 in Salcombe is highly praised for its stunning estuary views, peaceful atmosphere, and excellent access to the beach and local attractions. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, dog-friendly policy, and improvements made over time. While the flat is clean and comfortable, some mention dated décor and maintenance issues, particularly with bathrooms and the outdoor area. The steep, gravelled driveway and narrow access roads can be challenging for drivers. Overall, the property offers a memorable stay in a beautiful location, with most guests eager to return.
Most guests found the property clean and comfortable, though a few noted a smell of dampness and some areas, such as floor coverings and the outside decking, could benefit from more attention.
The location is frequently described as brilliant, with fantastic views and close proximity to the beach and Overbeck's National Trust property. Some guests noted the steep hill and narrow roads, but overall the setting is a major highlight.

Excellent stay here. Wonderful views. Great location. Right next to Overbecks National Trust too. Great selection of places to eat and drink at the bottom of the hill. Super flat. Happy to stay again!

The flat was a lovely place to stay, wonderful views and with good access to the beach if you don't mind walking up and down the steep hill, which was fine for us. The property can only be accessed by car by using the very narrow roads, so we limited trips out and made the most of walking and the sea tractor to get to Salcombe centre. We enjoyed Overbeck's National Trust property just round the corner. The flat had all we needed and was comfortable and peaceful.

Clean and comfortable but does not get any sunshine. The drive is steep and covered in gravel with a tight turn to exit, so it's easy to skid when the car wheels loose traction.
