Weald

This is a lovely house with lots of space in a great location. We were disappointed however on two counts. First that it was not clean. We had to spend the first day cleaning it (emptying out the cutlery drawer which was full of crumbs and other dirt, for instance). Not only is this unpleasant under normal circumstances but it tells us that this was not 'deep cleaned' before we arrived under Covid. Secondly, for a house that sleeps ten and has a big kitchen table that seats ten people, there is not enough equipment to cook with, or enough glasses! They are clearly not cooks as we had to go out to buy some big saucepans (and there were only six of us) and drink out of mixed glasses at every meal. But the weather was good and we had a nice break! We just thought you should know about this though. Thank you!

Lovely house . The steep walk home from the Victoria might not suit some but is fine by us. This was our third visit, which speaks for itself.

We hadn't stayed at Weald before but we've been coming to Salcombe for over 20 years and have stayed at a number of other houses. As the family has grown so has our need for a large house, and I can honestly say that we all agreed this was the best. We know the area very well so we knew the location (a little way up the hill!) and we knew our way around, so we knew what we were getting and it more than lived up to expectations. (But please don't therefore put the price up!!) It is the perfect house for a three generation family holiday, and we particularly liked the open plan downstairs where we could cook and socialise and keep an eye on the children all at once.

We rented Weald over the Christmas week for 7 adults and a dog. The house was spacious for our party with a lovely kitchen, dining and living area and gorgeous water views from both the open plan sitting area and the separate living / tv room. The location of the property meant that it was a hike back uphill if we walked into town but it did mean we burnt off the Christmas calories faster! The house was clean'ish but there were mops and buckets left in the porch when we got there which was not a great welcoming look, so they were moved to the back garden for the duration of our stay. For a house that would sleep 8, having a single oven over the Christmas period was interesting, but honestly, that is probably a first world problem! The owners left several games and we managed to complete the jigsaw of Salcombe during our stay - a nice bonus. Overall, a lovely property that we would gladly return to. Thank you for sharing it with us.
