Upon entering the property, you will find a bright, spacious and sunny double height entrance hall. Head into the kitchen/dining/family room, a sun filled, open plan space for entertaining, or relaxing in the open plan snug area; a comfortable, south facing family area with TV. 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.

The Cottage is a great property with lovely views over Salcombe from the upstairs lounge. The house has everything you need, and is a short walk from the town (3 minutes to the CoOp, and more importantly the ice cream shop). Beware when driving there the 1st time, don't follow SatNav, instead stay on the main road and take Bonfire Hill which is by the long stay carpark.
