With its rolling green hills, crystal clear water and spectacular views, Salcombe is the perfect setting for a rejuvenating retreat on the shores of the Kingsbridge Estuary. And just a short walk from the town centre, this cottage welcomes you to enjoy a bright and breezy stay in South Devon’s Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty. Set across two floors, the owners have styled this home to feel like a cosy sanctuary. And once inside, you’ll find an abundance of space to relax, unwind and share quality time together. From the large living room (with views across the garden) to the snug ensuite bedrooms, this is the kind of space that brings lightness and ease to daily living. Follow the views outside and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to enjoy the fresh air with a quiet morning coffee, or later with fun-filled barbecue meals. And when the weather draws you inside, the dining room makes the perfect spot for heart-warming candlelit gatherings. From here, days can be spent strolling along the water’s edge, setting sail on a boat trip along the estuary, savouring picnics on the beach or sampling one of the award-winning local restaurants.
