Recent Guest Feedback for Combe Down, Salcombe
"We had the most wonderful stay at Combe Down. It's a truly magical place to visit with family or friends. The interior decor is gorgeous and perfectly kept. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with a lovely welcome hamper. The location is 7-8 min drive down into Salcombe and to nearby beaches, but it's lovely to be away from the hustle and bustle of town and have more space to enjoy. The team who look after the property were very responsive and helpful throughout the visit. The photos do no justice to the incredible sea views you have from the garden, and most of the bedrooms. Thank you"

"10/10 - Combe Down is a stunning property with a fabulous view and beautiful gardens. The house has everything you need and the beds are all super comfortable. The hot tub was a highlight and was much enjoyed. There was spacious and secure parking. Our family stayed for the week of my daughter's wedding and it suited us perfectly for the wedding preparations, particularly with the large bright open plan kitchen dining room. We would highly recommend a stay there, and Amanda & the team at Salcombe Abode couldn't have been more helpful right from the time of booking, thank you Salcombe Abode."

"9/10 - Combe Down is a beautiful home with a very high attention to detail, gorgeous interior decor and garden/planting design. The beds are notably super comfortable and there are plenty of bathrooms. We are a family of 5 adults aged 19 - 55 and had a couple of friends with us too. We made good use of the BBQ and the hot-tub.
We had no problem walking into town (it's 30 minutes to Fore Street) and a couple of times we left a car in the Park and Ride at the top of town.
Communication with Amanda at Salcombe Abode was timely and even included a useful tip about the local firework event which would otherwise have missed.
We all loved staying here and would certainly choose it again. Many thanks for having us!"

"Such a fabulous place to stay. The house was really well equipped and we felt right at home. The view was absolutely stunning and the gardens were pristine. It felt like a proper luxury stay. The bedrooms were roomy and beds really comfortable. House in a great location and bus stop is right outside (busses to Salcombe every hour) only 10 mins drive from beaches east and west."

"We loved staying at Combe Down.
A master class in interior design and functionality, it has all the mod-cons and is really well thought through.
The views from the patio are breathtaking and the location is good if you don't mind a 20 minute walk into Salcombe.
Local village pub in Malborough (19 mins walk) is friendly and the food rumoured to be amongst the best near Salcombe.
We'd stay there again in a heartbeat. "June 2023
