Excellent, comfortable holiday
We enjoyed staying at 5 Shadycombe cottage. Owner sent lots of useful information by email shortly before stay. The cottage was compact, clean and well equipped. The bathrooms were a little compact. The cottage location and proximity to Salcombe allowed us to walk into town. We found fabulous art store, along with a great bakery for breakfast goods and pasties, in addition fudge, chocolate and ice cream stores all very yummy. Be advised Salcombe itself is not car or wheelchair friendly. We were delighted with The Crabshell in Kingsbridge.

Amazing property in great location
We had a fab time here over New Year with friends. The property is beautifully restored and very well equipped. It is just a short walk to central Salcombe and the very big bonus is parking for 2 cars as parking in Salcombe is really hard to find at this time of year.

Stylish, comfortable, cosy cottage with parking!
We booked this cottage because my daughter was getting married at the nearby Salcombe Harbour Hotel. We arrived on a rather soggy, chilly November day and the cottage was so welcoming! It was so clean, warm and cosy we immediately felt at home. The parking for 2 cars was an added bonus in a town where parking can be tricky. The downstairs layout is very social, the kitchen had everything we needed and thanks to the instructions before we arrived we found everything easily! All the beds were comfortable with good quality bedding. All the bathrooms were warm and stylish. We had 4 generations staying at the same time and even my 85 year old Father managed the steep, tricky stairs. The cottage is 2 mins away from an excellent Co-op and there is an easy 10-15 walk into the centre of Salcombe. We had en excellent Sunday Roast at The Victoria Inn, the rest of the time we ate in the cottage. We would not hesitate to stay again, many thanks to Sarah the housekeeper for her excellent communication.

Lovely property with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is beautifully decorated and we all went home wanted to completely redecorate our houses! Great location and super comfortable. Hosts were very responsive and the communication was great. We loved our stay and had a great time. Would be brilliant if they could look at getting WiFi coverage in the garden annexe room.

Hi Jackie Thank you for making time to post a review however we are a little surprised you gave us a 3 star and yet we only had good feedback from you during your stay. We can’t do anything about the weather unfortunately. We are always sorry to hear our guests have not had good weather during their time in our beautiful town of Salcombe. We would appreciate if you could perhaps provide a better rating based on your use of our property and not on the weather conditions .

Wonderful cottage
We stayed for a family wedding in Salcombe, the cottage was perfect for our 3 generation family. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped and in a peaceful location but still within a few minutes walk of the high street with its lovely shops, pubs and restaurants. Communication with the owner and housekeeper was excellent, parking was a great bonus.

Wonderful family holiday in a fabulous cottage
An excellent property in a great location. The garden annex was perfect for my elderly mother who has mobility issues and the main building had everything for a comfortable stay for 2 couples. We did not need to use the attic room. The parking arrangement is fine for two midsize vehicles. Communication with Tim, the owner, prior to arrival was very good and he sent tons of useful information via numerous emails. The house keeper Sarah was always on hand to deal with questions. The only issue was we had no internet for the whole week but this was due to an external problem which BT were still trying to fix. Thankfully Sarah stepped in to help out my sister who had a work related task, inviting my sister to her house to enable her to complete an important application form. I highly recommend this property and wouldn’t hesitate to use it again if we are ever again in the Salcombe area.

3 friends spending time in Salcombe for the first time.
The owners communicated with me, via email, in ample time before our checkin with very detailed information about the house, location and things to do in and around Salcombe. We loved the fact that there were USB outlets in all rooms throughout the house. Very clean and well stocked with smoke dishes, pots and pans etc. Sarah, the housekeeper was an amazing help to us. Extremely helpful and responded quickly to all our questions about the house. I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone wanting to stay in Salcombe. The location was perfect. There is a Co-Op grocery store a few minutes walk away and about a 5 minute walk to the heart of Salcombe and the water. A 5 out of 5 rating for #5 Shadycombe Road.

A lovely property designed beautifully in a great location in salcombe town. Benefitted from parking although it can take some manovering. Only things i felt could be improved on was to have atleast a toilet roll upon arrival (we had to rush straight out). And that i was quite overwhelmed by the amount of emails and house rules upon booking, we really only required address and key code.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Mar 2023
Hi Rachel We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Re the Toilet rolls supply - this was an oversight by our housekeeper and is the first time this has happened. So apologies for that. But we are very well placed with a very nice coop supermarket just 2 mins walk away. Re the emails - sorry if you felt overwhelmed. Most guests are keen to receive information on the house and area (eating out, walks, shopping, things to do, and the house details) so unfortunately we can’t please everyone. The house rule on the use of the bathroom was to explain the room was not a wetroom and we asked to take care of use to avoid water damage to the ceiling below which has happened on a couple of occasions. This rule helps the guests avoid damage to our house. Most guests have very much appreciated all the information we have provided. Thanks for your feedback and we are happy you have enjoyed your stay .

Quirky & Tasteful Design
This property is very well designed to incorporate the age and stone features. It is in a perfect location close to all amenities. The family all loved the property. The bedrooms are extremely cosy and comfortable. The owner together with the cleaners have thought of everything to make your stay extremely happy. These times of Covid have been very difficult for everyone and you have to work hard to achieve the results for everyones benefit. We hired a paddle board to try out and together with the house kayak we had a fantastic family time on the beach. I feel this property is excellent value for money and hope to return again.

Fab short break
Property well equipped and very clean. The photos are accurate. The space was just about big enough for 7 of us, in the summer months it’d feel bigger due to the doors opening onto the paved garden space. Parking is a luxury and we managed to fit both cars with no issues. A very short largely flat walk into Salcombe which had a good range of facilities. The sofa was not the most comfortable but I realise that’s possibly just us!

October stay
Comfortable, clean and stylish accommodation in a perfect location to enjoy the delights of Salcombe. A friend and I stayed for three nights and found the accommodation perfect. The reception space isn't huge so I wouldn't necessarily say it would a family with very young kids but certainly couples and small groups of friends wanting to chill out and be within a stone's throw of Salcombe town centre. The bedrooms were really comfortable and and the bathrooms contemporary and spotlessly clean. My only slight niggle was that the roller blind in the top floor bedroom and the master were broken. All in all, a wonderful place and I would definitely book again.

Little boat leaves every 10 minutes from the town to some stunning beaches. WE WILL BE BACK, I want to keep this treasure all to myself.
