Excellent holiday rental, this was our 2nd October half term staying here and we have booked for 2022. Perfect location with car parking. Great addition of the larger TV, warm and cosey and had everything you need.

Second time of staying here, 11 years apart. Great location with parking but the property is looking a little tired now and there are a few signs of damp creeping in here and there in the plaster work and in the paint on the walls and ceiling in various rooms. It needs some decrotive attention and also the cutlery and kitchen stuff needs refreshing. The furniture could do with updating and it is very much stuck in the late 1990’s except for the downstairs room and ensuite which I think is a recent addition. But a nice place to stay and we really enjoyed it.

Excellent and cosy house near and convenient to the centre of town. This is the fifth time we have stayed at this particular house.

The location was excellent and Salcombe is a beautiful place to stay and explore the area.The property has off-road parking for 2 cars. The supermarket is just round the corner which is convenient and the shops and restaurants only a short walk away. The bedrooms are all rather small but they were comfortable and all en-suite. The spacious kitchen was rather dark as the blinds couldn’t be pulled up. The lounge was on the first floor and looked nice but we found one of the sofas very uncomfortable. There is only a small outside courtyard with only 4 chairs which was insufficient for our group of 5 which was disappointing. Overall, we had a great stay.

We had a great week and would return. Spacious house in quiet location close to the town and amenities. I would reiterate previous reviews regarding the need for more kitchen crockery and glasses, we had one wine glass but loads of champagne flutes! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, some simple additions to the bathrooms would be useful, towel rails, loo roll holders and hooks. Please sweep patio between lets! We had a lovely relaxed week and enjoyed the house.

Kitchen equipment could be better quality.

Spacious accommodation, excellent location, some areas for improvement e.g. upstairs settee in poor repair, upstairs windows unable to open (locked). But overall lovely accommodation in a great resort.

We loved our stay at Shadycombe Lodge! It's very well situated with an easy, flat walk to the centre of Salcombe and the Co-op is just round the corner. There are plenty of great places to visit in the area, our favourite being Coleton Fishacre, a National Trust property near Kingswear, on the other side of the Lower Ferry from Dartmouth. The cottage is comfortable and spacious, with a first floor sitting area, which we especially enjoyed. The shortage of mugs and teaspoons meant that we were continually washing them and the kitchen taps are rather old and difficult to use without splashing the wooden work top. Toilet roll holders in the bathrooms would be good and a hook on the back of the downstairs wet room door. Besides that, we found everything was fine.

What a wonderful holiday home! Beautifully furnished and comfortable with excellent kitchen and bathrooms. Comfortable beds and plenty of light airy space to come back to. Super location close to everything yet in a quiet lane. We loved it and would come back for sure. Thankyou to the owners! Only 1 tiny thing, could do with more table knives in the kitchen! Highly recommend this lovely holiday home 

We were allocated this property at the last minute due to a flood in the property we had booked. Weren’t we the lucky ones.....This property is ideally situated about a five minute level walk into Salcombe quite near the local co-op. The property itself is quirky and has the massive benefit of having two parking spaces outside. Having stayed in Salcombe now I understand the benefit of this. The property is olde worlde in its style with a reasonably modern master bedroom. All bedrooms have got ensuite facilities and everyone our party found the beds very comfortable. There is a lovely mezzanine sitting area if somebody wants to read. But if you all want to sit round the TV then you have to do that downstairs. Downstairs could do with some comfier sofas to sit on but this didn’t really detract from the benefits of the property. We would definitely consider staying at Shadycombe lodge again and would advise anyone booking in Salcombe to book as low down the hill as you can. If you’re at the top of the hill prepare for burning calf muscles!!

Well appointed comfortable and spacious property. Located close to the towns pubs a restaurants. Don't follow sat nav to get there, otherwise you'll end up driving down very very narrow/steep lanes. Best to approach via Onslow road, then search for Cabourg Close, which is directly opposite the property.

Hi, loved the location with older children so easy to walk into town without the noise. I feel the house could do with a spruce as looking tired and also barely enough crockery. I know someone cost effective and local that can help with any interior ideas (Nia Enticknap from Blackawton) and action them, having owned locally too, if it helps! Not sure house was properly cleaned, as there was lots of sand under the rug in the kitchen seated area. Overall, we really liked the house so more pointers to help boost ratings further. Thanks
