Yardarm is a well-equipped cottage in Salcombe, Devon, appreciated for its ample space, convenient location, and off-road parking. Guests have enjoyed the property's layout and the views it offers. While some maintenance issues have been noted, the prompt response to concerns and the property's suitability for family stays are well-regarded.
The property generally appears clean, but several reviews mention dirty dishes, cutlery, and windows, as well as outdoor spaces needing attention. The presence of mould in bathrooms was also noted, suggesting room for improvement in cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its convenience, proximity to the town centre, and the added benefit of off-road parking. The scenic views and easy access to local amenities contribute to a positive experience.
Comfort receives mixed reviews, with guests appreciating the space and layout but noting issues with mattresses, sofas, and heating. The replacement of a mattress and the presence of comfortable beds in some rooms are positive aspects.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and multiple bathrooms. However, maintenance issues with appliances, shower screens, and bathroom fittings have been reported, indicating a need for updates and repairs.
Guests have mentioned a welcoming box and a Christmas tree during a festive stay, reflecting a degree of thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such personal touches, while appreciated, may not be a consistent feature for all stays.
Situated on Devon Road in Salcombe, Yardarm is a spacious period town house, which has been fully refurbished to provide a high standard of accommodation. Glimpses of the Salcombe estuary can be enjoyed from the lounge and master bedroom and the property is ideal for a family or couple looking to explore the town and picturesque waterfront, which are just a short walk away.
From the parking area, a flight of steps leads to the ground floor entrance. From the hallway there is access to two bedrooms, the family bathroom and utility room. The bathroom has a bath with shower over, w.c, and basin. Upstairs, the light and airy first floor living/dining area features two large comfortable sofas, flat screen TV with Freeview and DVD and dining area. Sliding patio windows open out to the small balcony with estuary glimpses.

The property has four bedrooms. On the ground floor, a double room with King-size bed, New England style furniture and sliding patio doors leading to the full-length balcony. Also, on this floor is a twin room with two single beds and patio doors that lead to the main balcony.

Adjacent to the master bedroom is a shower room with w.c and wash-hand basin, with a further shower room located off the utility room which houses the washing machine and tumble dryer.
Salcombe is a popular destination for watersports enthusiasts, walkers
and families looking for a holiday by the sea. There are several pretty
beaches within a short distance, including North Sands and South Sands,
plus the coves East Portlemouth on the opposite side of the estuary, just
a short passenger ferry ride away. Also on your doorstep is the National
Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical
gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the
watersports available on the estuary including surfing, coasteering,
kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe, take
advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the
restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon

of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some
