The Sands can only be described as the perfect place to enjoy that perfect holiday. With its much-desired location, this fantastic house has everything you could possibly need. The Sands is extremely generous with its living space, so easily accommodates 10 guests.
You are met with grand opulence from the moment you enter this property. With breath taking views offered by the floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, you are instantly given the feeling of pure indulgence. The grand oak staircase divides the property on the ground floor, inviting you to explore each of its well thought out rooms. The light airy kitchen is well equipped for those who like to cook, with both a breakfast bar and breakfast table. If you prefer something a little more formal, the dinning area is in the grand hall, where a beautiful bespoke chandelier sets a relaxing tone. The contemporary yet sumptuous sitting room, with its majestic view of the estuary, will lure you out onto the huge wrap-around terrace where you can watch the sun go down whilst sipping a glass of Champagne. All of its five bedrooms have Super King zip and link beds and en suite bathrooms, perfect for couples or larger families.
For those who are bringing dogs, it is just a short walk to enjoy the lovely beach at North Sands. And for those who enjoy longer walks there is the stunning South West Coast Path. If you prefer the water, take the passenger ferry to the beautiful beaches at East Portlemouth. The town itself is just a two-minute drive, hosting boutique shops, pubs, restaurants and galleries.
A hot tub can be hired at The Sands for £300 per week/short break, subject to availability. Please let us know if you would like this added to your booking.

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.
A holiday cottage in Salcombe has all the ingredients for a relaxing seaside holiday in a simply stunning area of outstanding natural beauty.
