2 The Salcombe is a fantastic ground floor apartment ideal for couples or small families looking to stay in the very centre of town. The apartment is located in a very sought after and iconic building and is within easy walking distance to the town’s pubs, restaurants, shops, cafes, art galleries and the passenger ferry to lovely sandy beaches.
The property, which overlooks the estuary, communal gardens and swimming pool, has excellent facilities including a private parking space, access to the communal gardens, use of the shared outdoor heated swimming pool (seasonal opening times and strictly for use of guests of 'The Salcombe' only) and a mooring berth (Early May Bank holiday until October 31st).
The pool is usually open from the first Friday in May until the last Saturday in September, from 8am until 6pm (8am – 8pm in July and August). The Salcombe Management withhold the right to make changes regarding pool access. There is no lifeguard – guests must sign a user agreement.
Use of communal gardens and swimming pool (open 8am-6pm. Pool not open outside of main season).
The property provides four outdoor chairs and two sun loungers (stored in the apartment) for exclusive use of guests. Mooring berth available for one boat on the Salcombe Apartments private pontoon (Strictly 1 vessel only up to a max 5m in length including outboard motor and 2m beam (width) from early May bank holiday until October 31st as governed by the harbour authority).
There is a small boatstore on site which can be used for storing kayaks and paddleboards (space permitting).
The beautiful waterside town of Salcombe, with its outlook across the stunning harbour to golden beaches and the sparkling sea beyond, is one of South Devon's most desirable holiday cottage destinations. A mecca for sailors and water sports enthusiast, and a playground for the rich and famous, Salcombe is the UK's answer to Saint-Tropez.
In the summer months, traditional sailing boats race past the Princess Yachts moored in the harbour, while sports cars cruise through Fore Street, past buzzing designer clothes stores and local boutiques. The shops and restaurants located by the waterfront exude the perfect nautical vibe, complementing the boatbuilding heritage that has long served the local townsfolk lucky enough to live in this scenic, naturally sheltered harbour.
Strolling down Fore Street you will find a tempting selection of cafes, delis, restaurants, and pubs to frequent, whilst children (and adults!) will insist on a trip to the old fashioned sweet shop, Cranch's, or treat them to delicious local ice cream at the Salcombe Dairy. The recently refurbished, family and dog-friendly pub, The Victoria Inn, serves excellent food and also operates a 'man crèche' that may be useful for more relaxed shopping trips!
A little ferry makes the short trip back and forth to the golden sands of East Portlemouth and the dog-friendly beaches at Mill Bay and Sunny Cove, whilst the energetic can pick up the South West Coast Path from here to enjoy unrivalled scenery from the rugged clifftop trail. The beach at North Sands is an easy stroll from town, where you'll find The Winking Prawn, a child-friendly institution amongst locals and holiday makers alike, where diners can enjoy delicious food and drink for breakfast, lunch or dinner… or all three if you fancy a full day on the beach.
The exquisite Overbeck's National Trust, just a little further along the coast at South Sands, is well worth a visit for the spectacular views and world famous gardens, capable of growing a broad range of rare and exotic plants not commonly found on these shores thanks to the site's unique location, perched high on the coastline and open to the Gulf Stream. Outside of the peak season, visitors can expect to find a much quieter town more akin to a sleepy West Country village. However, the shops and restaurants generally stay open throughout the year, and the natural beauty of the area is so abundant that Salcombe remains a fantastic holiday destination all year round.
