Salcombe Vacation Packages

Nice hotel in a lovely setting and friendly staff. It was extremely hot weather when we stayed. The hotel provided fans to cool us down which was very thoughtful and useful. They also set us up a ‘dog friendly’ table for breakfast away from the other guests. Again, very thoughtful. It was appreciated. Thanks. We’ll be back!

The entrance hall looked promising. However, the Receptionist was curt, unfriendly and really shouldn't be doing that job! The hotel was tired and needed updating. The bed was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was supposed to be at 6.30am which was essential when leaving for a graduation ceremony and needing to be at the University by 8. At 7 - the single person running around the restaurant had still not served breakfast. When it came it was plonked on a plate (poached egg) with no explanation of having to make your own toast, tea etc... Had that been explained we would have done that first. Overall, a very imposing grand building but the service and facilities inside didn't do it justice.

Well positioned place and I had a decently located ground floor room

Stayed one night. Room was clean and comfortable but on floor 2 overlooking the road. Traffic was very noisy at 6.30am.

This was our second stay at Fowlescombe Farm and it only reinforced our view that it is one of the most special places to stay in the UK. This time we stayed in the Pond Suite, which was every bit as beautifully designed and comfortable as our previous accommodation, with lovely views across the surrounding countryside. Being one of just three rooms within the Farmhouse, we particularly enjoyed having direct access to the spacious, well-equipped kitchen and the cosy lounge areas downstairs. Having visited previously in October, it was wonderful to experience the property in a completely different season. The landscape had transformed and the grounds looked stunning. The new pond area is particularly impressive and, once open, will add natural swimming and sauna facilities that look set to be another fantastic addition. Most of all, I echo everything from my previous review. The highest compliment I can pay Fowlescombe Farm is that staying there feels less like being in a hotel and more like staying with relatives - exceptionally stylish relatives, with impeccable taste, beautiful surroundings and outstanding food. It remains a rare place that combines genuine warmth with luxury, and we are already looking forward to returning again.
