East Portlemouth sits opposite the popular town of Salcombe which is easily accessed from this stunning property via the passenger ferry 280 yards away. The village itself has a café, the fabulous Port Waterhouse, with pop up dining events and a bar open seasonally, along with being home to Salcombe paddle boarding, the village also boasts some fabulous sandy beaches along with direct access to the South West Coast Path- very scenic coastal walk or a mile along the Devon lanes takes you to The Gara Rock Hotel, serving delicious food with some of the best scenery a restaurant could provide, plus a spa and cinema room. The nearby village of South Pool also boasts a gastro pub, the Millbrook Inn. The bustling market town of Kingsbridge is a thirty minute drive away, with shops, pubs, eateries and a cinema and in the other direction along the picturesque coastal road is the historic Naval town of Dartmouth, again well serviced with amenities. Salcombe is a historic fishing and sailing town that has become famous as a holiday destination because of its natural beauty and its local charm. Blessed with more beaches than you can visit in a week, a jaw-dropping estuary and magnificent walks along the South West Coast Path, it’s also filled with local traditions. For example, there’s the Town Regatta, excellent sailing opportunities and an ice cream factory. There is also the Salcombe Gin Distillery, which has a bar overlooking the water serving Gin cocktails as well as excellent coffees. You can’t leave without sampling the town’s unparalleled clotted cream fudge, visiting the magnificent bakery and restaurants such as The Crabshed and The Winking Prawn, which have practically become a rite of passage for visitors. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Dryer - Laundry facilities ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 55 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the sea ### Things to do - Hiking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33930000/33921400/33921327/fe07d024.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### House With Sea Views And Sunny Aspect Thurlestone - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 31 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=33921327&PinnedHotelID=33921327&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72410000/72402700/72402672/5a7a9e44.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Magdala - 5 BR property Sleeps 10 w/stunning views Salcombe - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=72402672&PinnedHotelID=72402672&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99750000/99747200/99747187/d97171da.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stylish 4 bed house walking distance to beaches Salcombe - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=99747187&PinnedHotelID=99747187&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69310000/69305900/69305804/31e09cbf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coast at Beachdown - a house that sleeps 9 guests in 4 bedrooms Challaborough - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=69305804&PinnedHotelID=69305804&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/62000000/61010000/61004300/61004261/93ab60be.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious family home close to all Salcombe's amenities Salcombe - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=61004261&PinnedHotelID=61004261&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/61000000/60520000/60517800/60517739/5125fddc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beachside family house sleeps 8 pet friendly Hallsands - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.2 Wonderful 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=60517739&PinnedHotelID=60517739&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106130000/106122000/106121992/350a0d41.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Blue Haze - a house that sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms Salcombe - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=106121992&PinnedHotelID=106121992&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116300000/116294200/116294177/0d0af13d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sea View Cottage, 10 mins walk to the beach, no WiFi or phone signal!

Aug 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location but need to be fit! We enjoyed a lovely stay in the house with family of all ages. Plenty of bedroom/ bathroom space with a good sized garden and great location. The location is stunning, but need to be aware there are 138 steep steps to get to beaches ( which are fabulous ) and boat to Salcombe! Not a problem with the house but the beach cafe is currently closed and for sale… limiting amount of local places to eat on East Portlemouth side of estuary. Ferry is easy to get to Salcombe And water taxis also available to get back later in evening. The kitchen and dining in the house is tight for 8 people. More details would be great in property info… ie WiFi password and we took 2 days to work out how to make the downstairs shower not freezing cold! The bbq was on its side in garden and didn’t look very usable, also mentions fire pit in book, but we didn’t even see one. Great house, but maybe needs a bit more attention pre letting. ##### Sarah W. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Denise L. Oct 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### A few tweets! On first arrival the cottage was lovely; a bit quirky but looked as if it would meet our needs. However, considering the cottage slept quite at least 8 adults there wasn’t enough seating in the TV room to accommodate that many. The TV did not have BBC channels so we couldn’t watch Strictly on the Saturday! A smart TV would be better as many people have subscriptions to streaming services. Also the TV in the big bedroom but want connect by aerial; there was an aerial but it was too short to reach the TV! There were no mirrors in the bedrooms so we didn’t have anything to do make up or dry hair! The mirror in the shower room upstairs didn’t work and the towel rail was cold! We found the switch on our last day! ##### Denise L.
