It sits in a quiet spot, in an elevated position with sweeping views of Salcombe and the estuary, but very close to the centre of town.

A ground floor shower room, refitted in 2023, is perfect for washing off your sandy toes after a day paddling in the blue waters of North or South Sands Beach. Retreat upstairs to the first floor living room and enjoy the wonderful views of the estuary from your armchair, share stories of your day or join together for a film or games. Perhaps finish your day with a glass of something special on the small patio off the living room, looking out over the twinkling lights of Island St and the harbour. Also on the first floor are two bedrooms with kingsize beds, both with lovely views, a large family bathroom, and a sweet little twin room also with lovely views. The twin room is accessed by the second staircase leading up from the family room and ground floor shower room, and also accessed through the walk through middle bedroom; a perfect set up for families.
Begin by enjoying a coffee on the elevated patio whilst watching the boat masts bob on the estuary and plan your many adventures. Salcombe, famed for its waterside location has so much to offer. Take afternoon tea on the waterside balcony of The Salcombe Harbour Hotel, hire a canoe or paddleboard and discover hidden coves or take in the scenery from upon the water on a boat trip. If truly immersing yourself in all that Salcombe has to offer sounds just the ticket, The Cottage is your perfect base.

We enjoyed our stay at the Cottage, it is very quirky and has a lovely homely feel. There are great views over Salcombe enjoyed from the upstairs lounge where there is also an outside seating area. The kitchen is very well equipped. Downsides would be that we usually have a welcome pack when we arrive in cottages - we stay in holiday lets a lot. A pint of milk is well received but there wasn't anything, although the Coop is only a short walk away, so probably no need. We had a slight issue with a leaking shower and water running from a plug socket but the maintenance team from cottages.com dealt with the leak quickly, although it would have offered us peace of mind to know that an electrician had checked it out. We didn't use the socket and all was well. These issues were probably more cottages.com management than the owners. I would recommend this cottage to stay in if you like quirky properties that feel well loved. If you like bland and ultra modern, it won't be for you.

We had a wonderful time staying at The Cottage. It had everything and more than we expected. Great location, a view we did not want leave. Very comfortable and homely. Spotlessly clean. We hope to return in the future.

This ticked all the boxes for our family ( especially the train set for our young boys ). Perfect little walk to town and lovely views even in the rain! Kitchen was so well equipped and there was even a coop card which was handy. Comfy beds, and lots of space. Would definitely stay again.
