S31 is in a perfect position with unbeatable views of estuary from huge well furnished balcony. The lift, gardens & pool are lovely. The apartment is lovely for a couple which we were But the 2nd bedroom is a joke, about 5'6" wide with a double bed against one wall & perhaps 8'0" long!!! Kitchen & bathroom adequate. Position bang in middle of Fore St is excellent.

This is the third time of using this property, and I have already provisional booked for Summer 2022.

We have stayed in Salcombe 31 several times. It has a number of very good features but it is far from perfect and rather pricey, especially in the peak seasons. The main points are: * Excellent location with good views over the river to the hills beyond. * The car park space is ideal (many of the parking spaces are far too small for modern cars and cause considerable problems for other residents). * The flat has been recently modernised with a new kitchen and double bed. However the kitchen remains very cramped. * The microwave is now inside a wall cupboard which requires the cupboard door to remain open to provide ventilation and can be a real head-banger. * The fridge has been set so high (to allow for drawers underneath) that it is almost impossible to reach the ice-box in the top, let alone see what is inside it (mainly ice it appears). * The storage space in the kitchen is very poor. People obviously have different eating habits when they go to self-catering and we tend to buy ready-cooked meals from the Deli opposite the flats. There is really insufficient space to store much more than some cornflakes and a few cans in the cupboards. I think the owner ought to do a survey of the flat users to see how they use the kitchen and modify the storage accordingly. * The small bedroom used to have a pair of bunk beds which have been replaced by a double bed. Whoever fitted the bed deserves a medal because there is barely room to move along one side of it. * With just one bathroom and toilet it is OK for a couple but any more than that will find it quite a struggle. I expect if there are six adults in the flat they will spend half the day queuing for the bathroom! *The recycling arrangements in the flats is almost non-existent. Household rubbish, paper and plastic all go in the same bins. There is contradictory information about glass recycling. It is always frustrating when a good holiday is let down by a series of relatively minor issues that are probably due to inattention to detail by the owner and agents. Perhaps the owner ought to spend a week living in the flat to see what we have to put up with!

Location was exceptional and apartment , whilst looking a bit tired, suited our purposes. However. we will not be using the local letting company again - no instructions re key safe at property, office in town was closed and despite several attempts , no one was answering the recommended phoneline. Fortunately we bumped into the housekeeping team sorting the laundry at said empty office who were able to assist - terrible service from Salcombe agency who were our point of contact.

Been coming to this flat for many years. Lovely comfortable flat with large balcony for sitting out. Improvements this year for Kitchen, Wifi and TV were appreciated. We only had one set of keys and a 2nd or 3rd set would have been greatly appreciated.
