Guests say
Guests generally appreciate the property for its cleanliness, stunning views, and well-equipped kitchen. The terrace is a highlight, offering a delightful space to enjoy the scenery. The property is well-situated for exploring local beaches and towns. Some guests noted issues with parking and comfort of the living area furniture.
Most guests found the property to be clean and tidy, with high-quality bedding and a comfortable environment. There were minor mentions of cobwebs and a previous guest's recycling left unsorted, but these seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The property's location is highly praised for its fantastic views and proximity to local attractions such as Salcombe, Kingsbridge, and various beaches. The village of Malborough is appreciated for its amenities, and the area is described as quiet and friendly.
The property is generally seen as comfortable, especially the beds and bedding. However, some guests found the living/dining area and the sofa to be a bit of a squeeze and uncomfortable for larger groups, which slightly detracts from the overall comfort.
Facilities are deemed fine, with a well-equipped kitchen and good outdoor space. However, there were issues with a non-functioning hob and confusion over recycling instructions. The downstairs loo being out of action was a significant inconvenience for one group.
While guests have mentioned little extras such as tea and coffee, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of such thoughtful gestures across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such amenities will always be provided.

Comfort only downgraded because we were 5 adults and the bunks in Bed. 3 were not suited to her tall frame! Parking could be a slight issue but we always found somewhere during our 3 nights for our 3 vans. Beautiful sunset view out the back! Bathrooms slightly dated but having one upstairs and one downstairs made our lives easier (both have showers) Very convenient for all the local beaches and Kingsbridge too. We would definitely come back!

Lovely home which the owners have made very comfortable. A nice terrace and garden furniture to sit and enjoy the beautiful view. Well equipped kitchen. Books, games, Netflix useful for rainy days. Good location for Salcombe, Kingsbridge, coastal path, Bolberry Down, and many beautiful beaches such as South Milton Sands. Garage with very well stocked shop in the village. Ashbyâs shop (sells absolutely everything), Farmshop and cafe also just up the road. Just a couple of gripes. The touch panel hob needed a lot of pressure to respond. The shower upstairs only properly worked on eco but water pressure not very effective.

We like it because of the location, handy for Salcombe, Kingsbridge, Hope Cove, Thurlestone, with good bus service. The house is comfortable and clean with a pleasant outlook from the terrace. Even though the area is quite densely populated, it is quiet and the neighbours seem friendly. Malborough is a pleasant village with a well stocked convenience store.
