Coastal escapes don’t get much better than this dreamy home in the heart of Salcombe, one of Devon’s most idyllic seaside towns. Step inside and be greeted by a gorgeous living room complete with plush turquoise sofas and a cosy fireplace, perfect for unwinding after an afternoon of sailing or a long walk along Salcombe’s stunning coastline. Upstairs, you've got the choice of three double bedrooms – with an extra room for little ones on the second floor – all of which offer magical vistas to wake up to. Settle into the master bedroom and gaze out at the glistening sea or enjoy peaceful views of the garden from your super-king-size bed next door. Whether you’re travelling with children or you’re just a kid at heart, you’ll love the garden here, which comes complete with plenty of patio furniture and a fire pit for enjoying late-night drinks under the stars. We could see ourselves spending all day out here – we might even have a go on the ping pong table – but if you fancy exploring further afield, there’s plenty to discover nearby. Put on your walking shoes and head out for a hike through the countryside or jump in the car and make your way to the beach for a picnic by the sea. Bliss.
