Guests say
Otter Cottage in Salcombe is highly praised for its spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and secure, sunny garden ideal for families and dogs. Guests appreciate its peaceful yet convenient location close to town and beaches, as well as the quiet street. The property is clean and homely, with thoughtful touches throughout. While some mention minor wear and a small shower, the overall experience is very positive, with guests eager to return. The climb back from town is noted due to Salcombe’s hilly nature, but this does not detract from the overall enjoyment.
Multiple guests describe the property as clean and well-presented, with no significant complaints about cleanliness. One review specifically thanks the owners for providing a clean, homely property.
The location is frequently highlighted as excellent—close to the town, harbour, and beaches, yet peaceful and quiet. The only minor drawback mentioned is the hilly walk back from town, which is typical for Salcombe.
Guests find the cottage spacious, welcoming, and comfortable, especially for larger families and those with dogs. Some note that the shower is a bit small and the property is not luxurious, but it is described as homely and comfortable overall.
The cottage is praised for being exceptionally well-equipped, with everything from kitchen essentials and spices to board games and books. The secure garden and two parking spaces are also appreciated. Minor maintenance issues, such as WiFi strength in one bedroom and some areas being a bit tired, are mentioned but do not detract significantly.
Guests note the owners’ attention to detail, with thoughtful touches like a well-stocked kitchen and helpful local information. While one guest mentions the absence of a welcome pack, it should be noted that gifts or welcome packages are not guaranteed.

Lovely house with ample space and private rear garden. Everything you could possible need for your stay is in this great property. It's on a hill and it's a bit of a climb back from the town but other than that it's the perfect place to stay. The street is also very quiet. It is really close to the town itself and the North Beach is less than a mile away. Highly recommended especially for larger families.

Loved our stay at Otters Cottage. Great location close to the town and beaches. The garden is a suntrap in the evening and very safe for dogs.It was our first time in Devon but definitely not the last.Pity that there was no welcome package with tea or coffee after a 5 1/2 hour journey but only a minor concern as there is a shop nearby
