“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.”
