A glorious stay in room 412 which for us (couple and 4y/o on a sofa bed) was absolutely perfect. Double balcony with the most wonderful views, well proportioned room with everything we could need and a very nice touch of a complimentary welcome Salcombe Gin & Tonic in our room! Parking was convenient with the porter parking for us and was handled quickly and efficiently. The pool facilities were beautifully clean and tranquil and enjoyed especially by our daughter on the child permitted hours. Food and drink great too and friendly restaurant staff - would highly reccomend this hotel.

Ask for 2nd floor if you book a room with a balcon

Salcombe is beautiful and the hotel location, but we missed out on room balcony views due to being on the 1st floor, was a real let down as we paid extra for this type of room.

Harbour Hotel, Salcombe.

The Hotel was welcoming, clean and well presented. Our issue was our room 303. On entering the room it was very hot. We opened windows straight away and on doing so we realised that a vey noisy kitchen extractor or some sort of fan system was right outside our window, as well as the room windows were on road level. The staff member who showed us to the room mentioned the heat and said they were fully booked and directed us to a fan and recomendend using it. This was an old fashioned fan which was also noisy. We did return to reception and complained about thr heat and noise. Again we were told the hotel was full. We had an aweful nights sleep as the room was very hot and noisy. We again returned to reception in the morning to complain politely and look to move rooms. We were given another fan and told the hotel was full. Needless to say, we had 2 aweful nights sleep and were offered nothing but inadequate fans and apologies from the staff. We dont for on minute blame the staff, but this room needs condeming. It was presentable but not appropriate for a hotel break. My wife and I celebrating our anniversary were pretty devastated and were offered no resolution and this experience spoilt our weekend.

Excellent stay. Great staff, very helpful, polite and really couldn’t do enough for you. The hotel was in a great location. Superb views, very clean and well presented throughout. The spa and treatment rooms were again exceptional. Breakfast was a continental style. Again, no food issues. Note: you do have to pay extra for an English breakfast etc….. Overall great value for money and would recommend. I’m sure we will return.

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1 out of 5) Extremely Disappointing Anniversary Stay – Not Worth the Price We stayed at Harbour Hotel Salcombe from June 14–16 to celebrate our anniversary, but it turned into a frustrating and underwhelming experience. While Helen at reception was lovely and helpful in switching our room (the lift was broken and my partner couldn’t manage stairs with a heavy suitcase), that’s where the positives ended. The room had a clogged sink, a strong musty odor, and worn carpets. A supposed “complimentary Salcombe gin” turned out to require purchasing tonic from the minibar — not exactly the thoughtful gesture it appeared to be. Worst of all, under the tissue box lid was a hidden toilet roll. I’ve travelled to 250+ destinations and never seen anything quite like it. We booked The Jetty restaurant in advance and informed the hotel that it was our anniversary, requesting a table with a view. No acknowledgment, no note, no effort. When we reminded them, we were told it was “first come, first serve.” On the night of our celebration, we weren’t seated until past 8pm (despite a 7:15pm reservation), and the table eventually offered was clearly an afterthought. Cloe, the staff member in charge, was dismissive and unprofessional. Add in noisy wedding parties, having to call reception at 4am to stop the next-door noise, and over £500 spent on subpar service and drinks — and the experience becomes not just disappointing but frustrating. We will not return. If you value your t

Superb hotel and we will keep returning. Wonderful staff, comfortable beds and great TV. Food is delicious and of course stunning views. Great to be right by the ferry and all the shops, the beaches are amazing. Gorgeous walks on the doorstep and so nice to have the pool.

2 Day Spring Break

the Hotel was fine and the service okay. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the estuary which had a nice view and got the the sun in the morning and afternoon. We had dinner the first night which was good. My only concern was the cost. We are retired and frequently holiday/travel and so stay in numerous miserly 4 and 5 star hotels. So the nightly cost of £400 seemed extremely high for this trip especially as you had to pay an extra £10 for a cooked breakfast and got charged 12.5% service charge in the restaurant! We recently stayed in Padstow at another of the same chain of hotels and paid only £140 per night? So overall nice break apart from the cost which would put me off returning.
