If what you are looking for is a spacious and tastefully appointed apartment, the soothing sounds of the sea and amazing views from the sunny terrace of the nearby beach and coastline, well look no further. 4 Sandhills is a south facing luxury retreat, perched on the hillside above the golden beach of North Sands. The apartment has undergone a stylish and contemporary refurbishment of the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms creating a fantastic space for couples and families. Enjoy a scenic walk into Salcombe, full of interesting shops, inns and restaurants and on the way you can appreciate the beauty of this picturesque estuary, busy with the comings and goings of boats attracted to this yachting haven. Back on the terrace we can't think of a more pleasant place to be whilst enjoying an al fresco meal or a quiet read in the sun and the sunroom provides a vantage point from which to observe the ever changing moods and colours of the sea, whatever the weather. This is a great destination at any time of year and a bracing walk along the South West Coastal path in the spring or autumn can be followed by a cosy evening in the spacious lounge, listening to the crackle of the real fire. This is a very special holiday destination which we recommend highly.

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.
