A lovely property with a great view , walking distance to the harbour where there are restaurants/ & shops ,be aware its very hilly so not for people who struggle to walk , lovely local pub a very short distance away & a church near by. Driving distance to other towns such as Dartmouth,salcombe & Bantham where theres a lovely walk along the beach

The accommodation was really lovely, well equipped and good location. Couple of small things - no handsoap, no welcome pack and damp musty towels stop me from giving this a higher rating but this did not stop us from enjoying our stay. We would stay again and it was fab listening to the church bells especially in the evening.

We left some bits behind and tried to contact the cleaning company number as per the instructions but we only heard back from them 24 hrs later. So I had to call the customer service team for help.

We had a great week at Salmon leap. Great location, just a 5 minute walk to the harbour, shops and restaurants. As stated in the description, there are a lot of steps back up to the property. Great sized garden with a bbq, which we used. Beautiful view. Only downfall is that it is overlooked by neighbouring properties. An extremely comfortable stayRead more and we would visit again in a heartbeat. (Bring ear plugs for the seagulls early wake up call!). Hide

Lovely cottage. All we needed. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room. With the warm weather it was lovely to open the doors. Great having a parking space. You hear alot from the aprtment above that is also rented out, but this depends on who is living there, and where in the apartment they are. The first week we heard little from the people above, whilsRead moret the new people staying a few days we heard alot (furniture moving around, them talking whilst in the bathroom, noise in the back bedroom).

Lovely accommodation and very comfortable. Stayed at Salmon Leap two years ago. Close to all the amenities. We were a group of ladies who enjoy walking so can recommend the Dart Trail. We also walked to Paignton and got the boat back.

Nice house, plenty of space, 5 mins walk to town using steps so probably not best for those who cant manage hills and steps. Great views and lots of games etc to use in the house. Plenty of equipment in the kitchen.

Lovely property in a great location with the added bonus of private parking. It was great to be able to easily walk into town and to the harbour.. The fish shop at the market is great and the fish & chips from Brixham Fish were fantastic. We did experience some noise from the flat above for a couple of days which we weren't expecting.

Great house, a short stroll from the harbour albeit some steps to manage, but was manageable for our group. The outside area is lovely and as the weather was so good we used the bbq on a couple of occasions.
