We had a wonderful week in this holiday home. It is clearly a much loved second home which has been enjoyed for many years - we loved it. The living room has everything you need - the games, library and DVD collections kept us all entertained on two very wet days and we were cosy with the log burner and comfy sofas. The kitchen is also well equipped, beds comfy and everything was clean. There were only 5 of us (and just two for half of the week) and it suited us perfectly. The view from the top bedroom down the estuary is a delight. We hardly moved the car (but great to have parking!) as there are lots of brilliant walks from the doorstep. Highly recommended - we would definitely rebook.

Otter cottage has everything you need for a self catering holiday. Ideally situated on the outskirts of Salcombe but within walking distance of the town and the busy harbour and beaches. The cottage has the benefit of off road parking which is at a premium in Salcombe. We enjoyed exploring the walks around Salcombe and beyond and the cottage was a great base for this.

Otters cottage is very well equipped and in a lovely area.However there are a few problems I think need addressing first one of the sofas is broken being held up by 3books needs replacing .Second the upstairs bathroom toilet has a wooden seat the hinges are rusty and under the seat is filthy because it’s wood it will harbour untold germs .The bathroom lets the upstairs down .
