Very clean and quiet location. Kitchen very good and the bathroom & shower excellent. Only slight problem was the television size and interference on sound and picture. Could also do with internet.

Cobbles Cottage is a lovely small (one up one down plus bathroom) Cottage, straight off of a box of chocolates! The quaint and quiet location on a branch of the Estuary is lovely, very quiet it has no amenities other than a Telephone Box nearby, however this isn’t a problem because that’s probably why you would book the Cottage in the first place. If you want all the things that Salcombe has to offer then that is less than a very pleasant 10 minute walk away along the edge of the Estuary. The facilities in the cottage are very good, a functioning kitchen, a well appointed bathroom and a fairly spacious bedroom with twin beds, not the most comfortable beds in the world but by no means the worst I’ve come across. The settee/fold away bed in the living room/kitchen which was the main seating was pretty poor as the seats were very soft and gave way towards the middle of the two seats, not the end of the world but a disappointment none the less. The TV is pretty small and the reception was poor at times but as expected for terrestrial TV in a hilly area, so take some movies etc on your personal gadgets if you have them. There are a couple of things that would be useful to know if you are considering booking this let. 1. We knew when we made the booking that there was no Internet connection/WiFi at the cottage and accepted that, hoping that there would be GSM (mobile service) so we could maintain contact with the world, however due to the thickness of the stone walls and the very poor mobile coverage in the area ‘phone access and Internet was very difficult to find. 2. The hot water supply is very poor, the water is heated by Immersion Heater which is fine but the quantity available is so small that it’s impossible for two occupants to have consecutive showers with the hot water that’s available. If you book in low season you ‘should’ be able to park right outside Would we stay again probably.

Television was unusable, no WiFi and no telephone connection. The seating area could do with updating. Very nice setting, lovely bathroom and very well equipped kitchen.

Cobbles is in a beautiful location and works well for us ….but we qualify our satisfaction with the following comments: 1. some aspects are looking a little 'tired' (ie: the carpet - even steam cleaning it would make a difference); 2. there's no dishwasher, washer or drier; 3. a nice tub of bright flowers on the patio would be a nice touch - next door's cottage is a good example of just that little bit of 'extra effort'; 4. the lack of wifi is a drawback - as we have sometimes stayed at Cobbles when we have had some work to do (we are both professionals still working part time). In this day and age, most people expect wifi in a cottage rental; 5. as a result of the above 4 points, we feel that the price doesn't necessarily reflect the best value for money but, as I say, it works for us for short stays (a week max). If the above 4 points were addressed in part, we would consider 2 or 3 week bookings. Mr & Mrs Dodwell
