Wow your friends and family with a stay at this impeccable Georgian home, situated at the head of Batson Creek in Salcombe and surrounded by 1.75 acres of private grounds. Tailormade for group holidays, over in the main house, you’ll find three bedrooms as exquisite as the next, along with two separate annexes for guests who appreciate a little extra privacy. When it’s time to get together, take your pick from an alfresco entertaining space that makes the most of its creek-side location, a banquet-worthy dining table inside the main house, or a sheltered nook in the renovated piggery at the end of the garden. Ready to hit the high seas? There’s a private mooring just at the bottom of the garden.
