“In my opinion, this Salcombe destination promotes a low-fi vibe from its secluded clifftop location. I think the self-catering Garden Apartments, ideal for families, set it apart; also, the cinema and spa add compelling options for relaxation. The indoor and outdoor pools certainly make the property a strong consideration.”

Wonderful Cliffside Getaway
clifftop viewsprivate cinemasuperb spa
The location was amazing with fine clifftop views. The private cinema offered a unique entertainment option, showing various films. I found the spa facilities to be superb, including a pool, sauna and Turkish bath. I enjoyed the nice walk down to the town with a convenient boat transfer.
The heating system was a bit confusing, with multiple controls. I had some trouble understanding the zoned digital controls.
