Old Salty's Cottage
Lovely old cottage with everything we needed, fantastic views, the cream teas that were left for us was a lovely touch, the decking area was very disappointing and in need of some upgrading, great location for visiting other areas of interest in easy reach, overall we had a great holiday and would love t go back again,

Holiday
Steep hill to rear of property, only room for one vehicle as neighbours need access at all times, cleanliness fair cobwebs everywhere, washing left in machine, outside decking furniture and steps down to the garden rotting and needs replacing, bed mattresses uncomfortable beds and duvets felt damp when you got into them, sofas in the lounge extremely uncomfortable, small lamp broken, wii did not work all discs very badly scratched board games were either broken or had no batteries in or pieces missing.
If your going to advertise facilities that are provided they need to be in working order, comfortable and a good standard

Beautiful view
The communication from Adrian was brilliant and the welcome scones were a lovely touch. The view from the deck was beautiful (even with the horrendous weather!).
The cottage is very tired and in need of updating (broken blinds, very old uncomfortable sofa, extremely small shower, not enough seating for 6 people outside) but it was clean and beds were fairly comfortable.
Although the listing says 10 mins to beach there are restrictions for dogs and it’s more like 30 mins walk (10 min drive) to a section of the beach you can walk your dog on. This was disappointing as it was one of our requirements to have a beach to walk the dogs on within 10 min walk of the accommodation. I guess we should have looked it up but would be useful information to add to the listing.
As the weather was so bad we spent more time in the cottage than we thought we would which meant we probably noticed more of its faults than we would have done if we could have enjoyed the outside!
Overall a good location to explore the area but not to enjoy dog walking on beach nearby. Comfortable (if a bit tired) and good value for money given the price of other properties in the area. Communication from owner very good 😊

Lovely stay at Old Saltys
The cottage was clean and comfortable and had everything you needed for your stay.
The view was wonderful. The location was good for us, its a good hill back up if you want to walk into Westward Ho, takes about 15 - 20 mins.
We travelled to Port Isaac, Saunton Sands, Appleby, Croyde Bay all within wasy reach.
My only complaint would be the patio furniture, its well overdue a rub down and varnish or to be replaced.

Just breathtaking
I had so many plans to visit other places in Devon and we stayed in Westward Ho the entire week. The property was amazing, well maintained, had a great living space and more importantly amazing views and you could hear the waves from the veranda. Parking and manoeuvring the car was no issue and we loved every second in the house and the town. Beautiful and completely dog friendly with enclosed, safe garden. Quiet neighbourhood. Just perfect thanks
