"Lovely cottage, only one small issue, the mattress on the bed on the top level was not the most comfortable."
This is not meant as a criticism just an observation.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Anchor Cottage, it really is a lovely spot so close to town. Thank you for your feedback on the mattress, as you can appreciate mattress comfort is down to personal preference as what may be comfortable for one guest may not be for another. We hope it didn't effect your stay and we hope to welcome you back to the area again soon.

"Overall the property was lovely and very much as expected given the description."
The only significant issue I would draw attention to is the outside space. It seemed quite neglected, with garden debris (leaves, moss etc) and dirty chairs and table. A small amount of TLC would make this area a much more pleasant space to be.
We are so happy to read you enjoyed your stay at Anchor Cottage. We do apologise the outside area needed some attention upon your arrival, it is normally kept clean ready for our guests arrival however the weather was awful on your day of arrival so this may have been missed. Please know that if you had contacted us during your stay we would have been able to rectify this for you immediately so you could continue to enjoy your stay. We hope it didn't detract from your holiday and hope to welcome you back to the area again soon.

"We love the property, we come every year and really enjoy it, however I do feel the house could have a deep clean, as I did notice dust in higher areas, and underneath the sofa was dirty as well."
We’ve noticed the tablecloth has been the same and has never been changed - we’ve been coming for a few years now and know they get smelly after a while. Could also replace rug in the lounge area! But overall we had a lovely stay and will definitely be coming back!
Thank you for your feedback, we are thrilled that you love the property. We are sorry you experienced a couple of issues this time, the dusting issues have been raised with the housekeeper, and table cloth is being renewed. Please know that if you had let us know while you were at the property, we would have come and rectified it immediately. We are glad you had a wonderful holiday and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

"Arrived Thursday 9th May leaving 10am 15th May."
Unfortunately on arrival the Wi Fi was not working which unfortunately caused a lot of frustration and inconvenience and time sorting it out.
The staff at the Skye office who I must say were very helpful in this matter. They managed to get me connected to the adjacent property on Saturday afternoon as the Wi Fi for the cottage could not be fixed till Monday 13th May.
We expected in good faith when booking that all the advertised facilities on offer would be in full working order. So I would suggest in future these should be checked in advance so has not to inconvenient other future holiday tenants .
Parking was a plus but note there is no turning point so you do have to reverse along a narrow entrance before pulling out into the road.
The steep steps to the rear garden would benefit from a hand rail.
The location of the cottage is well placed to the centre which is a plus.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We can only apologise you had an issue with the Wi-Fi, as you can appreciate this was completely out of our hands and only occurred on the change-over day. We worked closely with the owner to resolve this as quickly as possible, and were able to give you access to Wi-Fi the next morning (Friday) and installed an emergency hub on the Monday. Again, we can only apologise and hope that you still managed to enjoy your holiday and all Salcombe has to offer.

"Washing machine broke down after three days, was staying for two weeks, so had to hand wash and go to kingsbridge to laundrette which was not ideal with two small children also could do with a tumble dryer, the oven was very complicated to use, could do with a bigger freezer , would benefit in the garden some rails to get up into the garden as the steps were very deep and nothing to hang onto so my husband could not access it."
Other than that the house was pleasant to stay in and we had a good time.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, we are thrilled you had a lovely time. We can only apologise for the inconvenience cause by the lack of washing machine. The problem could not be easily fixed and meant that a new Machine had to be ordered, unfortunately it was not possible to get this installed during your stay. We are sorry you struggled slightly with operating the Aga, there are helpful instructions in the property, also please know that if you had let us know, we would have sent someone to assist you. Many thanks for your comments regarding the garden steps, we have passed this onto the owner, who will now be fitting a new handrail. We do hope you had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed all Salcombe, and the area has to offer.

"We had a wonderful holiday in Salcombe and Anchor Cottage was a lovely base."
Its proximity to all the amenities was excellent.
We arrived on the evening of the Regatta fireworks and we had a fantastic view from the window of the top floor. Unfortunately , due to the heatwave we couldn't appreciate the views as we had to have the curtains closed for the rest of our stay. A fan would be a bonus.
The oven took a little bit of getting used to, but was fine in the end.

"We loved the cottage feel of the property, which was well appointed with a lovely patio & enough outside space for seaside gear."
We found the beds very comfortable with nice bedding.
Good functional bathrooms but would appreciate somewhere to put soap or shower gel & shampoo in the showers.
Because of the cold spell we found the set temperature was inadequate on the ground floor, but fine in the upstairs bedrooms.
The stairs are steep which the occupants need to take into consideration if children are staying. Our 89year old managed but would have appreciated a ground floor loo.
We did appreciate the parking space.

"We had a lovely stay and would be very happy to stay again at Anchor Cottage."
It is very comfortable, with plenty of character and an easy walk of 5/10 minutes into the the town center. Only 1 suggestion, regarding the steps into the property, would be to have a handrail to assist those with slightly less mobility getting up and down the steps. We look forward to visiting again!

"Anchor cottage is in an excellent situation and the house itself has excellent facilities and good room sizes, and we were very comfortable there for the week."
When we saw what we had previously identified as other potential cottages in Salcombe we were really pleased we had chosen Anchor cottage. Yes, the parking space is on the small size, but we have an MPV and managed to park it there, and any property with parking in Salcombe is a bonus. You should be aware however that there is no possibilty of turning, so you need to reverse your car about 30 yards down a lane to the main road. All in all it is an excellent cottage which we would thoroughly recommend.

Good location and lovely cottage, however as this can accommodate six the parking is an issue
with guests having to park in long stay car park that needs to be topped up daily it would be nice for guest if needed to park in car park to have a permit for the week
We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time at Anchor Cottage.
Unusually for a property in its central location, there is one allocated parking space for guests use. The long stay car park is just a minutes walk away for anyone who may need any additional long stay parking.
We hope to see you in Salcombe again soon.

"This is a very nice property, in a fabulous location."
Parking is very tight, as it is in all of Salcombe, and in practical terms, the only way to access the parking space is to reverse in from Shadycombe Road. There's a problem with water pressure in this property. Basically, the pressure is poor and although there are two showers, it's not possible to run them at the same time, or indeed flush the toilet or run a tap when someone is in the shower, which is a bit irritating in a house which sleeps 6. The other thing that was a bit disappointing was that there's no bath, only showers.
In terms of being dog friendly, it is great that the owners allowed us to bring our dog, and the little utility room was ideal for her to sleep in, but be aware that it's not possible to let your dog out into the courtyard area as it's not enclosed so you will need to take your dog out in person, on a lead, every time they need to go out
Thank you for giving us feedback following your stay at Anchor Cottage. In response to your comments: Parking – the space is sufficient to park a large car and we have not had any previous comments regarding the access being difficult. Water pressure – occasionally, if a tap is turned on or a loo flushed, when the shower is being used, the water pressure in the shower can temporarily drop. No bath – the property is accurately described with two showers available. Garden not enclosed – the Owners had gates on order but, due to Covid, supply was delayed; these are now installed. We apologise for any inconvenience you experienced due to these issues, but were glad to hear that you enjoyed Anchor Cottage, and its ‘fabulous location’ in Salcombe.

"A lovely house and really good space for the four of us."
It was so close to the centre and at the bottom of the hill. We’ve been coming to Salcombe for decades and it was one of the very best places we have stayed.
The garden space was way better than the photos and perfect for evenings with friends and family.
