Hot water situation was unacceptable though - itâs not reasonable to ration hot water on holiday and once a Bath had been run on arrival no one could shower until the next day when the heater came back on. As this happened on the weekend had to wait until Monday to resolve. Beds were also extremely uncomfortable and resulted in very poor sleep. TV very small and not what we have experienced with other properties. All these are key consideration for a good holiday. We had a really nice break but weâre disappointed by the lack of comfort in the cottage especially given cost.

We walked in and immediately loved it. Especially welcoming was the lovely card we had from the owners - it was written with such warmth and immediately made us feel at home. The cottage was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated. It has really comfy beds and lovely soft pillows. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. It has a lovely, sunny, secure garden for the dogs, it is a perfect place for dogs and thereâs a lovely table and chairs to sit at on the patio . It is so tranquil. So quiet - just horses neighing to each other in the fields in front and behind. There are Beautiful dog walks all around and the walk down to Batson Creek was so relaxing. Everyone we passed so friendly. We loved every moment at Sandpiper Cottage and didnât want to leave. If you want a countryside, but still by the sea, restful, peaceful holiday in Salcombe, we cannot recommend Sandpiper Cottage enough. Mum and I loved our stay so much, wonderful memories made. Love Katie and Wendy and Ol and Nell xx

Shower went cold by 4 th person in (which is strange because it was electric?). Farm or whatever it was next door was very noisy with lots of loud music in the evening ( I nearly went round ) not what you expect from a country cottage . People were not very considerate in picking up dog poo in the parking area (one thing as I dog owner I am hot on )but I do appreciate the fact that the owners let us take a third dog on our visit . Would I go again ⦠probably but next time I would be more inclined to complain at the music
