"Beautiful house with a stunning view!"
I would highly recommend staying here perfect for a large family. Only issue was when we arrived both bins and all recycling boxes were totally full! Understand the council dictates the collections however something needs to be put in place for when new guests arrive.

"We had a lovely holiday at Victoria Lodge which is a very spacious, homely and well equipped home."
It was perfect for my wife and I, our son and daughters families which included 5 grandchildren. Great for walking into Kingsbridge, launching our kayaks into the creek across the road and accessing all the places and beaches we love very close by. Our thanks to the owners and Coast and Country for a lovely holiday.

"The house was very nice but the plumbing was a major issue."
Anytime any tap running or toilet flushed there would be a 10 minute screeching noise which in some instances on the stay woke up sleeping children. I called to report this on Sunday and nothing was done. A plumber came round on Monday but couldn’t even access the room in the garage required so completely useless. Also the gate to enter the property from the driveway is not fit for purpose one of the hinges is even hanging off. This is a death trap with young children as the gate doesn’t close and a busy road outside the house.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We can only apologise that you experienced a few issues during your stay. We have been in contact with the owners who have confirmed that all the matters mentioned above have now been rectified. We do hope you still managed to enjoy your holiday and all that the area has to offer. Property Owner

"Victoria Lodge is a delightful holiday property."
Great location, beautifully furnished and the beds were so comfortable. Laundry facilities were much appreciated as we had a small baby in our party and a 3 year old. Would definitely recommend and will return.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Victoria Lodge."
Beautiful property in a great location, perfect for our family get together. Everything supplied was of very good quality, and I enjoyed using an Aga for the first time!! Would definitely recommend to anyone and am already considering another visit!

"We booked for two weeks and loved the house, gardens, and Kingsbridge."
Before leaving we booked for three weeks next year - that says it all!

"House was lovely and very well equipped."
Problem with the hot water was sorted out promptly. The top two bedrooms need a bit of attention - they weren’t the same standard as the other three - nowhere to hang clothes, curtain hanging off rails. There was also an unpleasant smell in the dining area from time to time which we couldn’t identify. Apart from that the house was lovely, clean and in a great spot. Thankyou.

"Amazing house and views of the estuary."
Kingsbridge is a beautiful town although peak holiday was remarkably quiet and made Salcombe a bit of a disappointment. Would book it again BUT same period next year over 50% hike in rental - very disappointing so going abroad again to save money.
-
"Excellent facility’s and great for a family experience and get together."
Location perfect for exploring the area overall a great holiday experience.

"The accommodation was absolutely fantastic."
A large house for a couple of families staying together. The kitchen was massive, and with two large fridge freezers there was plenty of space to store all the food and chill the wine and beer. The kitchen was wonderfully equipped with large and small pots, so good for 8 of us cooking together. The gas BBQ was fabulous and got it's share of use too. The house is located right beside a park with great play equipment for the little ones, right next to the quayside, a few minutes from the town centre. I'd happily recommend this to anyone.

"The listing needs updating as the property is not 100% as described and the pictures are out of date."
Disappointed that like on previous rentals there was no "welcome package" after a 300mile journey the simple things of pint of milk and loaf of bread is such an amazing welcome upon arrival. No visitors book to leave comments about area or local attractions like in other rental properties we have stayed in recently (including during covid). The property has an issue with a drain of some sort on the outside where if it rains a large dripping can be heard from the various bedrooms providing an uncomfortable nights sleep. Except from the above, the property was clean with great facilities and in a great location. On the whole my family enjoyed their stay and if a few issues where resolved then we would gladly visit again but the dripping would need to be resolved.
This property is part of the Coast & Country Cottages collection.

About the location
KINGSBRIDGE
Salcombe 5 miles; Bantham 5 miles; Dartmouth 12 miles; Totnes 13 miles; Plymouth 20 miles.
The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of South Devon. Kingsbridge is home to a range of lovely independent shops and coffee shops, as well as a 3-screen cinema and an award-winning pub. During the summer season there are estuary excursions by ferry to Salcombe which lies on the banks of the Kingsbridge Estuary, making it one of the prettiest towns in South Devon. Salcombe is famous for its outstanding coastal views, rolling countryside, and is a watersports paradise for kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding and powerboating. It is packed with boutique shops, high street brands and independent producers, restaurants serving freshly caught seafood, and Salcombe Gin and Ice cream! Kingsbridge is perfectly located as a base to enjoy the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which also forms part of the South Devon Heritage Coast. Visitors can take a walk along the Kingsbridge Quay, wander through the narrow alleys off Fore Street or visit the Shambles in Totnes, an Elizabethan market arcade. Around the South Hams area there are picturesque ports, such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, together with sandy beaches at Blackpool Sands near Stoke Fleming and the two sandy beaches at Thurlestone. There are a host of small attractive villages in South Hams offering interesting pubs, local farm produce shops and pretty rows of cottages, plus further afield the waterfront city of Plymouth is a vibrant centre, housing the National Marine Aquarium, historic Barbican Quay and plenty of night life, including theatres, restaurants and bars. Kingsbridge can be easily reached by train to Totnes and then a local bus service which will take you to Kingsbridge town centre.
