Beautiful location but the hotel itself fell well short of the luxury experience the price suggests
Pros:

The staff were generally very pleasant and welcoming throughout our stay. The spa area was relaxing and well equipped, with a sauna, steam room, hot tub and loungers. The room itself was comfortable, with a good bed, modern décor, tea facilities and a Nespresso machine. The location and views are also undeniably beautiful.

Cons:

The parking situation was extremely poor. The car park is narrow, steep and overcrowded, with some cars double parked, making it stressful to manoeuvre in and out. Outside porter hours, guests are left to deal with it themselves. The hotel also felt quite tired and poorly maintained for the price charged — our room had stains on the carpet and curtains, black mould above the shower, rust on the bathroom blinds and peeling paint around the window. There were also several small cost-cutting touches that felt out of place in a hotel charging over £400 per night, such as charging extra for cooked breakfast and not even including tonic water with the complimentary gin in the room.

Amazing location but hotel very expensive!
Pros:

Beautiful location with a good view of the estuary from our room.
Hotel well maintained and friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

Shower drain blocked, first night flooded the bathroom floor (although quickly sorted by maintenence the next day).
A very average continental breakfast with little variety. Dinner in the The Jetty restaurant was good but very expensive. More than double the price of a good meal in town!

We will come back to Salcombe but probably won’t stay at the same hotel.
Pros:

The good points were the excellent location, it’s close to the town centre, and the breathtaking views.

Cons:

What can I say? The room facilities were disappointing. The ventilation was very poor, and at night, once we had to close the windows, the room became unbearably stuffy. I could hardly sleep.

There was supposedly a complimentary gin provided, but there was barely anything left in the bottle when we arrived, which was quite off-putting.

The staff were doing their jobs and were polite to a degree, but they didn’t come across as particularly welcoming or friendly.

It was good.
Pros:

The room was very clean. And comfy. Shower was amazing. Bath was positioned perfectly for a relaxing soak.

Cons:

The spa roof is unsightly and positioned immediately in front of the estuary. It would be better positioned elsewhere.

Good but some little things detracted
Pros:

Location. On the Estuary. Smart decor
Good sized room

Cons:

Car Park is awful. Not enough spaces for customers
Receptionist attitude poor. Waiting to check in and she was on the phone and did not make eye contact. She should have acknowledged me and said hang on a minute. When she finished the call she attended to someone who was behind me. Not sure who is responsible - the hotel or Booking.com- but the booking said B&B but the hotel said it was only Continental- any hot dishes were £10+ extra. This is misleading representation
