A fantastic stay at an amazing location
We loved the location and the views from the house are outstanding. Everything is clean and tidy with great communication from the hosts. The description is very accurate. Some reviews had worried me about the driveway but it’s very straightforward, just takes some extra care as you turn in.

Beautiful views!
We stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024, and would have happily stayed another 3 weeks. The property has parking that we were well directed to, on the check-in instructions, and is close enough to everything, without being “too” in the thick of it. The view from the sitting room is unrivaled, and where we spent most of our time. If I had any complaints, it would be that the TV is fussy, and there was no dish towel in the kitchen. Both small things that didn’t really impact our stay. We would happily stay at Orchid House again, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Perfect Location
The property was central in the town in walking distance to all amenities with stunning views over the estuary. All rooms were clean and well maintained with a well appointed kitchen although we ate out all the time. Would definitely book again recommend to others.

We really do love it here, the location is so good, and it has the most amazing views. Now we have 4 teenagers it's a bit more of a squeeze but it actually still works so well for us.

Unpleasant smell, living area only caters for 4 people
Downstairs we were greeted with smell of drains and upstairs the small of vomit near dining room table. We thought the money we paid was good value and the hosts very amenable but the prices going forward do not reflect the fact that the living area only caters for four people (4 dining chairs, 4 lounge seats). The furniture is looking tired and not in keeping with modern trends.

A very good option for staying in central Salcombe with the added unusual bonus of being detached with off street parking. Ideal base for eating out and exploring the coast. Stayed as group of four adults for four nights.

Lovely holiday home in perfect location
This was our first visit to Orchid House, although we have stayed in Salcombe many times. The house has an amazing position overlooking the estuary, and we enjoyed the ever changing views, and the outside patio was always sheltered from the wind. We stayed as a couple and it was very comfortable for us, we would happily stay there again. Thank you for a great holiday!

Wonderful
This is a beautiful house in an excellent location, we couldn't fault the accommodation at all - many thanks indeed. Everything that's stated in the Vrbo listing is 100% accurate - the house is in a fantastic location, it's wonderfully spacious, the decoration is really beautiful and everything that we could possibly need was there. Without question, the magnificent views from every room are what make it truly glorious. Sight-seeing whilst in pyjamas was the height of luxury! Only two things are worth bearing in mind if booking - neither is enormously problematic, but they did affect us: Firstly, the parking is tricky because it's on a steep slope. Having parking in Salcombe at all is fantastic, but the entrance is tight and reversing on such a steep angle requires serious clutch control. It's all doable, but tricky. Secondly, there is an additional charge for bedding and a single towel each. This is stated in the small print, but I missed it so I was surprised at this extra £68 (optional) charge when it was offered. It was my choice to pay it (I didn't want to bring my own bedding on holiday), but I've stayed at many Vrbo properties and no others have required an extra charge for such essentials. After paying extra, perhaps two towels each would have been pleasant. However, none of this at all had any impact on the house itself, which is truly glorious.
