Last summer I spent a few days in Salcombe after my Mum had booked this place as a birthday present for me. It was my first time in Salcombe so I didn't really know what to expect, but my Mum had been going there for years so I was looking forward to discovering it. The Ria View is run by Peter & Bernice Henesey Smith.
LOCATION:
The Ria View is on Devon Road in Salcombe, Devon. Salcombe is a tiny town on the south coast. The roads to get there are quite windy so take care.

Food & Drink>>>>

Food is about the same or more expensive, as its such a tourist trap, food in the centre is v.expensive! There's a good choice of food, French, Chinese, Italian, Indian, Thai, Traditional Irish, were just some of the ones we saw.
Throughout the day the streets are full of buskers and entertainers. This carries through to the night and there's a real buzz on the street. There are plenty ...
Advantages: Lovely picturesque characteristic accommodation with fantastic potential. Disadvantages: Felt unwelome, food was past its use by date, not as clean as you would expect.

In the morning I was hoping to stay a short time longer to have a look around the 7 acre gardens, which seemed to be a big adversing point on all website and was one of the reasons why I choose it in the first place.

After we loaded up, the only ones to see us away were the host's dogs. They were very welcoming and I felt they showed us more hospitality than the owners of Leylands Farm B&B.
