Guests say
Shipwrights in Salcombe receives high praise for its location, comfort, and well-equipped facilities. Guests appreciate the property's spacious layout, warm atmosphere, and beautiful garden. The proximity to local amenities and the bonus of parking are frequently mentioned. Some concerns about garden security and parking for larger vehicles are noted, but these do not detract from the overall positive experiences.
Guests have not raised any significant cleanliness issues, suggesting that the property is well-maintained and clean.
The property's location is consistently praised for its convenience, proximity to local shops, and the town centre, making it an ideal spot for visitors.
The reviews highlight comfortable beds and a warm, homely feel, although a few guests mention the need for better mattresses and pillows.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-stocked kitchen and spacious dining area. However, some maintenance issues like TV remote controls and a rope handrail are noted.
While guests mention a welcome with decorations and fizz for a New Year stay, there is insufficient information to determine if such thoughtfulness is consistent across all stays, and it should not be expected as guaranteed.

Lovely house well equipped and maintained In a great location Would suggest that the size of the parking space is highlighted owing to the enthusiasm of the traffic wardens It was difficult to park a large vehicle without over lapping onto the pavement Would certainly consider rebooking for another holiday

The property is very much a rental and is well equipped and perfect for larger families. It could definitely do with new bed mattresses and pillows. The main bedroom mattresses is incredibly soft and lumpy as are the pillows. Also, there is no airer for drying clothes when the English weather gets the better of us. Still really enjoyed our stay and like I said I've rebooted for next year.

It was very much appreciated. The property is lovely. Good location, quiet, *very* well equipped. Cosy but spacious. We would come back.
