Shipshape

Comfy, lovely and light, spacious and a nice feel with views, great open kitchen/dining/sitting room space. Unassuming from the outside and the web pictures but lovely to be in. We expect to re-book when we go back to Salcombe. Easy to get to the town, North Sands, and the hills.

Quiet location but easy to access Salcombe by car or on foot ( if you don’t mind the hill climb back!). Only concern was slight damp feel in bedrooms at front of house - no sun on these rooms and set into hillside. Clean & tidy .

Shipshape is a spacious, modern and very comfortable house. It has all the home comforts you need for a good holiday and was spotlessly clean. There are spectacular rural views to the rear and we liked the fact that North Sands is accessible on foot ( via a downhill footpath - approx 20 minutes) . We were initially worried about parking as there is only one car space in front of the garage but extra parking in the road was no problem at all. We would definitely like to return. Note: the property is split level with lots of steps/stairs so may not be suitable for those with mobility problems. This was absolutely no problem for our family group though and we enjoyed a fantastic, social distancing, holiday.

This was a great house for easy access to Salcombe and only a 15 minute walk down a track to North Sands and the Winking Prawn. It was very clean when we arrived with everything you could need even for rainy days (a huge trunk full of family games.) Plenty of room for me and my 3 children and a great garden with BBQ. The decor is definitely Shipshape rather than chic but it was very well maintained, clean and spacious. We are coming back next year.

We love staying at Shipshape at any time of the year. It is very homely, well equipped, clean and comfortable. The patio area is particularly lovely in the late afternoon and evening and the sunsets are beautiful. The location enables you to reach the town or North/South Sands on foot if you are relatively able bodied (helps to work off cream tea/ice cream calories!) Parking is on the drive or road and is never a problem even for 3 cars. A faultless property that we love to return to. The owners are very conscientious and meticulous in their approach. Highly recommended!

Location good as fortunately the Park and Ride was only a few minutes away. The front door and sliding doors to garden are dangerous because the cills are too high and children do not often see this or older people. The shower over the bath would benefit from a non slip mat. We have stayed at Shipshape for two years running and hope to return in 2020 again.
