18 Robinsons Row

18 Robinsons Row sits in Salcombe, Devon, tucked into the row it's named for, with the shop and pub both around 0.1 miles away and the beach about a mile off. The three-bedroom house sleeps 5 guests across a king-size, a twin and a single, and access from the street is steep, so it suits guests happy with a slope and some steps.

A ground-floor shower room with a walk-in shower, basin and WC sits near the entrance, handy for keeping sandy feet off the stairs, while a second bathroom upstairs has a bath with a shower over, a basin and a WC. The living/dining room is warmed by a gas coal-effect fire, and the kitchen has an electric double oven and hob, a microwave, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher and a washer/dryer.

Gas central heating runs through the house, with fuel and power included in the rent, and a TV with WiFi covers quieter evenings in. Outside, an enclosed rear courtyard gives a private spot to sit out, though the neighbouring property shares access through the same small courtyard. Bed linen and towels are provided for the stay.

18 Robinsons Row does not take pets and is no smoking throughout. Young children should be supervised on the stairs, which are steep, and there's a car park nearby rather than parking at the house itself. Building work lower down Robinsons Row may affect access at times, so it's worth checking ahead. Kingsbridge, about 7 miles off, has a wider choice of shops and restaurants for a day out.
