The location is excellent and the parking for two cars is a plus. We were unable to get the majority of the side lamps to work and the main lounge lights were a bit temperamental. It seems the electrics need to be looked at. The neighbours above were sometimes noisy at night, there isnât much sound proofing between the ground and first so ear plugs worked for that. Overall a great stay in a stunning location.

A small but nice garden area easily accessible was a big plus (we had very good weather). TV signal was a bit flaky with some channels coming and going, and some just did not work (all freeview). There is an excess of fire-doors, one for each bedroom, these make a loud clonking noise as they close. The only downside we had was the hill to reach the apartment, it was less than 10mins to get to the main area of Salcombe, and 15-20 mmins to get back up.
