Thank you for a lovely stay at East Winds. The house met all our needs perfectly including three teens and 2 dogs!  It was indeed a short and beautiful walk down to the town centre where we tasted the delights of Salcombe - we loved the bakery in the centre  which did amazing goodies!

East Winds is the best holiday rental I have ever stayed in. The house is large (easily accommodating 6 adults and a big dog), light, quiet, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It has been decorated with a lot of love (a seaside vibe but not too twee) and the house has lots of wonderful original features such as the door pull, gorgeous wooden floors and fireplaces in all the downstairs rooms. The house is really well equipped with a fully functioning kitchen, a washing machine, three showers, several televisions and lots of comfortable places to relax. The roll top bath and  gorgeous white bed linens provide a touch of luxury and cushions and other decorative pieces add character and elevate this house beyond other holiday rentals and make it feel a home. The views of the surrounding area from the top bedroom are quite incredible. We loved the outside space - a sheltered, sunny garden on three levels with lots of distinct seating areas perfect for eating, reading and playing outside. The location is ideal - up on the hill (very steep) above Salcombe and close (10 min walk) to all amenities and beaches but away from the noise and hubbub of the town. . There is an open air pool, two great farm shops and an excellent Spar (with fresh bread each morning) very nearby and Salcombe has lots of cafes and restaurants should you chose to eat out. Whilst there is no parking allocated to the house, there are few restrictions on the surrounding roads and we have have never failed to park within a minute or two of the house. Finally the owners and managers are fantastic - the communication is top notch and they are responsive to queries and quick to resolve any issue. We have visited twice and will definitely return - East Winds is the perfect place for a relaxing family break.

We had a lovely week in Salcombe. We were 5 adults, 2 young children and a baby. East winds was spacious, comfortable and clean. Very well equipped kitchen. Beautiful bathroom. The garden was beautiful but be aware it is on 3 levels, which could be an issue with young children or people with mobility issues. We had no problems finding parking for 2 cars. North Sands beach is a pleasant 30 mins downhill walk following the woodland path, or walk 10 mins into town and take the ferry to South Sands.

We loved our stay at East Winds. The house is well appointed, clean and quiet. The beach is a short walk away down the hill. Everything we needed for our week in Salcombe.

Couldn’t recommend this house enough. We have stayed the last 2 years in a row and had an amazing time. The house is immaculate, spacious but also cosy. It has everything you need. There is plenty of living space around the house for when people spread out to watch tv, play games etc. 

The bedrooms are all beautifully decorated and lovely bedding. 

Everything you need to enjoy a holiday in Salcombe. Spar 2 minutes from the house for all your essentials and late night runs for ice cream and chocolate. 

It’s a short walk downhill to town. 5*

We loved the house and had a wonderful stay. It was warm, welcoming and so comfortable. It was so lovely to be welcomed with a bottle of quality pink fizz as we walked in to the kitchen. Thank you! 

The house was incredibly clean and very well equipped and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable with fresh linen and soft cosy towels. It’s situated in a great location and a short walk into town and to the shops. It was also really convenient being close to the Spar shop where we stocked up on wine and food.  We loved it and had the best time.  Thank you!

It was our first stay in Salcombe for our New Year family celebrations. We know the area well, having spent many holidays in the South Hams area.  East Winds is a very deceptive property, almost tardis like, as the external view hides the fantastically large accommodation within.  We had a family of 6 adults, plus a 3 year old stay at the property and the facilities were perfect for us.  A very large, extensively fitted out, kitchen and dining area with adjacent living space and tv, creates an ideal environment for family dining and socialising.  There is a separate living room, where our older children could watch their tv/listen to their own music.  The two downstairs bedrooms are well fitted out and the downstairs shower is ideal for large family gatherings.  Upstairs there is a fantastic master bedroom and ensuite bathroom, a further bunk room, suited to adults and a master bathroom alongside.

The property is tastefully fitted throughout with quality bed linen and towels. Whilst we didn't use the garden it is well fitted out with great views over the neighbouring farmland.  The location of the property is ideal for Salcombe town centre, which is only 10 minutes walk away down the hill.  The walk back certainly builds an appetite for dinner!

All I can add is that whilst we were there we rebooked for next year.  5 out of 5 stars from us.

Our family of 4, 2 friends and our dog had a wonderful stay at East Winds, arriving to a fabulous bottle of fizz!  The house was immaculate with superb facilities, a great location and the garden was a joy to relax in.  Lisa and Steve are fantastic hosts and were always available to help if needed.  We highly recommend East Winds and would definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay thank you. The house was very clean and I loved all the little extras you had provided for us to enjoy and use.

We stayed at East Winds in May half term as 2 families (8 people in total plus a dog!) and it couldn't have been more perfect. The photos do not do it justice in terms of size and we were blown away. 

Everything was perfect - thank you so so much!

East Winds Salcombe is an absolutely wonderful place to stay whilst visiting Salcombe. Lisa and Steve’s communication was outstanding. The holiday home has so much space, a great deal of storage and it has a wonderful decor. As a family of four with two large estrela mountain dogs we had amble room which is not always the case!!! We loved the open plan kitchen, dining room and lounge area. You can walk into the village so easily and it is lovely seeing the beautiful views from your bedroom window! The enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs to explore too and in the summer months we would have used the outdoor seating area more. We had an amazing experience trick or treating on Halloween the community were lovely! We would highly recommend from an adult, child and dog perspective and would book again.
