Harbour Hotel Salcombe

What a fantastic hotel! We stayed (sadly) for one night only but it was perfect. This was our first visit to Salcombe and the hotel and its location were perfect for us. On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly welcome and this very much set the tone for the remainder of our stay. We wanted to have a good look around Salcombe so the hotel's central location could not have been any better. Our room, overlooking the estuary, was well-appointed and beautifully presented. All areas of the hotel were clean, smart and stylishly coastal in decor, making it feel airy and spacious. We enjoyed fantastic treatments by Beth in the spa. Our meal in The Jetty restaurant was first class and extremely tasty the service we received from all restaurant staff was excellent. A short swim and sauna, in the small but perfectly formed pool area the following morning, set up up for the day ahead as did the excellent continental buffet breakfast. We could not have been happier with our choice of hotel and we will definitely return to stay again. Thank you to every member of the team who made our short stay in Salcombe so enjoyable and memorable.

Having stayed in July, August, September and October I reckon I have the measure. ||Set on the hillside looking across the Salcombe estuary it’s a wonderful setting with outstanding views which ever way you choose to look. Stunning. ||There is a spa which we didn’t use hence unable to comment on. ||Parking is well organised we found (come back James!) but very very tight and you are relying upon the car next to you taking care not to dink your door. I may be worrying unnecessarily here?||The four different rooms were all very well done and comfy beds, bathrooms that worked and had the views of course. Rooms with an inland view are less expensive but you could well be missing a treat! Some creaky floors and I’m not convinced about the soundproofing in 204, my snoring may well have spoilt someone’s sleep. ||Dinner menu is a bit mixed, give the Chicken/prawn satay a swerve and have some rennie ready if you choose the mackerel rillet! Portions are on the small side of mean. ||Sunday lunch is excellent. ||Breakfast is very good and there is an excellent selection of dishes on offer. ||Service is real mixed bag tbh, with some staff eager to engage, some who haven’t smiled for a while and a few clearly in the wrong career. You are unlikely to see the same people twice at dinner or breakfast. Hence the 4 out of five. ||Management presence and a welcome back note totally missing.

Mum and I spent an amazing weekend at the salcombe harbour hotel! The spa was wonderful and relaxing, the food was to die for and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. An incredible experience all round. The views from the balcony were sensational and the atmosphere around the hotel/spa was luxury and relaxing. Everything was done to such a high standard. We will definitely be returning for our next mother daughter weekend away!

Had a perfect weekend with my daughter. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left nothing was too much trouble. The service in The Jetty restaurant, with superb sea views was seamless. The food was amazing, beautifully presented and very tasty.|We relaxed in the spa which was very clean; towels were handed to us on arrival.|Allergies were catered to.|Our room was ample size, had a kettle, coffee machine, fridge, bath, shower and balcony with sea views (see pic).|The hotel made this rare mother daughter weekend an absolute treat for us both. Would highly recommend.

We booked this hotel fairly last minute and had a fabulous stay. Our room had a balcony with beautiful views. All of the staff were extremely helpful. The continental breakfast was good however I don’t believe there should be an additional cost for a cooked breakfast particularly with the price of the rooms which we felt are rather expensive.

Booked a room advertised as inland view - fair enough, we knew we wouldn't get a sea view. What we did get was people looking in through the window at us as the room is at street level. No exaggeration, passers by were a couple of feet from the window. The manager did give us another very small room on the next floor up but I'd advise clarifying before booking whether youre likely to be in a goldfish bowl. Pretty poor as not cheap.|Once resettled not too bad. Staff were very friendly and some great views over the estuary from the terrace.

Very special night away at the Salcombe Harbour Hotel for my birthday. Our room was kindly upgraded by your lovely Team to a beautiful room with an estuary view and balcony. Amazing massage with Emmy from the Spa. Highly recommended! Delicious dinner with old friends in your lovely dining room with very helpful staff. Thank you for such a truly wonderful night away. Your team are so warm and friendly. It really made my stay to feel so welcomed in a place I truly love. There’s no where I love more than Salcombe. We are returning to the Salcombe Harbour Hotel in September and we will be back for many more visits in the future. Thank you 🙏

No idea what has happened over the last few months since our last visit but it was a totally different experience. |Most if not all of the lovely staff they had before have gone. The only person we recognised was the receptionist. |We had a dinner bed and breakfast deal but changed this after the first night to just bed and breakfast. |The food in the restaurant the first evening was poor and the service absolutely terrible. |We were served by a very cocky young guy but most of the staff that evening were preoccupied with their own conversations. It was hard to get any service. On previous visits this year the food and service were exceptional. |Breakfast staff were a lot better, albeit very young and inexperienced. |Going to take a lot to get us back to this Hotel which is a shame as it’s in a beautiful position with views of the estuary. |Rooms are tired and very grubby. Our room 512 was filthy. The back of the bathroom door disgusting with splashes of whatever all over it. |Dirty bed throw. Stains all over the carpet. |Not worth the money we paid which was hefty to say the least. |Check out the next morning was unpleasant. The blond receptionist has a way of being rather aloof and patronising. |The hotel needs a serious shake up.
