This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

Raleigh House in Salcombe, Devon, is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its suitability for large groups, contemporary comfort, and beautiful views. Guests have enjoyed the spaciousness, the proximity to local amenities, and the property's ability to cater to the needs of families and large parties. While some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness concerns were noted, the overall experience has been very positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Cleanliness

Guests have generally found Raleigh House to be clean, with immaculate linen and a welcoming atmosphere. However, there were comments about the cooker being discoloured, bird muck on windows, and a mouldy washing machine compartment, suggesting room for improvement in cleanliness standards.

Location

The location is highly praised for its convenience to Salcombe town and local amenities, with beautiful views and a Spar shop just around the corner. The uphill walk from town was challenging for some, but overall the location is considered excellent.

Comfort

The property is described as contemporary and comfortable, with spacious rooms and a layout that accommodates large groups and families. Some guests mentioned the need for better blinds or blackout curtains, and one noted an uncomfortable mattress, but overall the comfort level is rated highly.

Facilities

Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped house and extras like a trampoline. However, there are several maintenance issues raised, such as peeling paint, excessively hot tap water, and safety concerns regarding the balcony and steps. These issues suggest that while facilities are adequate, maintenance could be improved.

About this property

This tasteful property is located in the ever-popular Salcombe, in the heart of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A three-storey house that’s stylishly appointed throughout, it’s perfect for larger groups looking to spend some quality time together.

From the driveway, the property’s entrance opens up into a small hallway, off which you’ll find the large, open-plan living area. Oozing with charm and boasting views out over both Dartmoor and the estuary, this room includes a modern kitchen with all the mod cons you could ask for, a comfortable seating area and a dining table large enough to accommodate all ten guests. And that’s not even mentioning the double doors leading out to the large balcony! Also on this floor is a twin room with a pair of single beds and a shower room complete with rain-head shower.

Downstairs, you’ll find the lower ground floor, which houses two additional bedrooms. The first of these is another twin room, again with two single beds, whilst the second comes with bunk beds and a small sofa, making it the perfect spot for any younger guests to call home. This lower level also comes with another family shower room.

On the top floor of the property you’ll find the master suite – a luxurious bedroom with a super king-size bed, en-suite bathroom with a shower and a bath and even a separate dressing area. There’s also a second en-suite bedroom upstairs, this time with a double bed and bath. Both of these rooms come with stunning views out over the neighbouring countryside.

Outside you’ll find the enclosed garden with its furnished terrace area, BBQ and a large lawn complete with trampoline.

With its enviable position in Salcombe, Raleigh House is just a short trip from the town’s countless pubs, beaches and shops, not to mention the stunning South West Coast Path. Or you could always head down to the estuary and try your hand at some water sports with sailing, kayaking, surfing and paddle-boarding, all on offer.

Raleigh House is the perfect place for your party to call home.

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 provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking on the South West Coast path.
