One of the best views in Salcombe, stunning! Bed size/matress could be replaced for more comfort.

As usual we had a wonderful holiday at Wigwam. Views to enjoy and within walking distance of all amenities, not to mention parking, a commodity in short supply in Salcombe. Would highly recommend.

The location is perfect for access to Salcombe and the beaches, the view over the estuary is picturesque and in general we enjoyed staying here. The view is something you simply cannot get tired of and having moved to a property in Devon road for the second part of our holiday (where the drunk noise was also an issue) I missed the location and the apartment. A couple of things:- I read the review about the dangerous garage door, so I was extra careful when reversing my car in (Range Rover Vouge fits on suspension access height - with inches to spare) but it takes some nerve to confidently get it in. By the end of the week I could do it with my eyes shut. Whilst transferring some bags my son slipped past me and tried to squeeze past the car and garage door supports with his bag and it pushed the door over balance which smashed down on the bonnet and caused a massive dent in his head and the car. He used his injuries to deflect the car damage - clever kid. (He's fine) Please be careful the garage door really does bite. Watch out for the neighbours automatic opening garage door, it opened on to our car as I was getting it out. But maybe an automatic opener on this garage door would stop the accidents occurring?!? Apart from the garage door issues which lets be honest car parking is always part of the challenge when visiting Salcombe, a dishwasher would be a good addition although washing up was rather novel for my son for a week and certainly not a deal breaker. I even found myself relaxing - slowly washing my hands at the sink watching the people meander down the road - so maybe the omission of that dishwasher was deliberate. Salcombe has changed seemingly a lot over the past couple of years with many different types now holidaying there. This means lost of drunk people walking past the house at all hours, cigarette buts everywhere, Brash kids barging us out of the way whilst crabbing, loud music played on the beach for no consideration for others etc etc - so take some ear plugs if you don't want to listen to it and do take the ferry across the water to the quieter beaches. Would we return? Yes I think we may return to the apartment. Would we return to Salcombe in the near future? Not so sure... Bring your own food in summer 2022 - with no staff available eating out is a real challenge this year and often if you do get a seat the menu is disappointing and forget popping out to the Co Op for supplies - there aren't any. I miss the old Salcombe that I've been visiting for 40 years.

Excellent accommodation in a central location. Only thing to improve is the size of fridge, could be larger to accommodate 4 people. Also warning the garage door has a tendency to fly backwards!

Lovely mews house with excellent views over the Salcombe estuary. Down side is the parking, garage available but not easy to access as needs to be reversed into and on an angle to the road on one way system. Also although it mentions steps, I don't think it is made clear that there are several steps upto the front door which would be a struggle for anyone with mobility issues.

As long time visitors to Salcombe we saw this apartment being built, so a real privilege to try it out at last. Cosy living area and brilliant views. A slightly first world comment, but an even better would be the addition of as all dishwasher. However..we shall be back!

Enjoyed a very comfortable short stay in this well located property. The views from the main lounge/kitchen/dining room are fabulous, the sofas are super comfy and there was a great range of books and puzzles should you need them. Loved the wine chiller in the living area and the two bathrooms were immaculate and very nicely appointed. Despite only having time for 3 nights we still had to pay for the full week. The only minor niggles to mention are , because of its location above the road, you do suffer some traffic noise , although not the fault of the property, we had loud building construction noise with diggers every day from 0830 to 1700 , probably just bad luck as it was low season and headlights coming into the bedrooms at night despite the curtains. Maybe some blackout blinds/shutters would solve the problem for light sleepers, unfortunately the white blind in the double bedroom is broken making it very difficult to close and open. Despite these minor niggles , I would highly recommend this property and the two of us thoroughly enjoyed our short visit! We plan to return soon.

Outside entrance to front door very wet and slippy as automatic water feeders turned on too much. Dust on framed pictures and very dusty on top of the wardrobes. Carpet needs cleaning in the lounge.

Our fifth consecutive visit. We stayed for two weeks this time. Enjoyable and relaxing as always. Weather changeable but lots of warm sunny spells.

As usual we had a lovely holiday holiday in Wigwam. It’s very well situated away from the noise of the main part of town but easily accessible for both the town shops and North sands. It is very relaxing sitting at the Juliet balcony gazing at the comings and goings on the estuary. It’s a real home from home and the tv upgrade is welcomed. We did suffer a torrential downpour which allowed water to accumulate in the garage but no damage was done, although the town suffered a degree of flooding but all was normal a couple of hours later. We love our visits to Wigwam and plan to return.We enjoyed

This is a fantastic place to stay - brilliant views, spacious apartment over 3 levels with everything you could want. There is a high level of thoughtfulness too by the owner to make your stay comfortable. We'd love to stay again - the problem is availability! Love you Wigwam!
