Guests say
Magdala Garden is a beautifully decorated apartment in Salcombe, praised for its stunning views, excellent location, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests particularly enjoyed the terrace and comfortable beds, making it a relaxing holiday spot. While the accommodation is maintained to a high standard, some minor feedback included the need for better outdoor cleaning and a more comfortable sofa. The main drawback is the lack of on-site parking, requiring guests to park some distance away. Overall, guests would recommend and return to this lovely holiday home.
The property is generally described as being of a high standard and well maintained, though one guest noted the outside areas could benefit from a more thorough sweep.
The location is consistently praised as excellent, with guests highlighting the great views and proximity to local attractions. The only negative mentioned is the distance to available parking.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the apartment relaxing overall. One review mentioned the lounge sofa was not particularly comfortable, but this did not detract significantly from the overall comfort.
The apartment is described as very well equipped, especially the kitchen, and the terrace with sun loungers is a highlight. Minor suggestions for improvement include outdoor area maintenance and sofa comfort.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

North Sands and South Sands are family favourites, ideal for paddling, swimming, and paddleboarding, while nearby East Portlemouth offers quieter stretches of sand and stunning views back across the estuary. The town itself is brimming with charm, wander the narrow streets lined with boutique shops, galleries, and delis, or take the ferry across to explore the other side of the estuary. For those who love the outdoors, the Southwest Coast Path offers breathtaking walks with panoramic sea views, while boat trips provide opportunities to spot wildlife and explore hidden coves. Salcombe is also a foodie’s haven, with a range of options from fresh seafood at waterside restaurants to cosy pubs serving local ales.
Don’t miss sampling Salcombe Dairy ice cream or enjoying a sundowner at one of the harbourside bars, watching the boats bob on the water as the sun sets. It’s the perfect coastal escape.

We had a lovely time and this is a lovely holiday apartment! Decor is beautiful and the highlight is the terrace with the sun loungers + amazing view. Only problem is the parking!! No parking included with the property, so you have to park nearly a mile away in the hills, which makes taking luggage to and from the apartment difficult.

Very good accommodation.Purely by way of feedback the outside areas would have benefitted from a good sweeping and the sofa in the lounge wasn't particularly comfortable but otherwise everything was to a high standard.
