Overlooking an arm of the Salcombe-Kingsbridge Estuary, this home not only has a stunning waterfront view in its arsenal, but the rolling countryside packs a pretty impressive punch, too. For that very valid reason, we recommend spending as much time as possible out on the decked terrace – whether that’s in the hot tub or simply enjoying a cup of coffee in one of the outdoor chairs is completely up to you, as long as you’re keeping an eye on the horizon. 

Popular with paddle boarders, you might even spot a few going by when you’re taking in the water views. If you’re eager to try it out for yourself, there’s a rental place a five-minute walk away and they’ll see that you’re joining the fray in no time. Prefer to admire the water from afar? Also completely fine, and you might find yourself frequenting the famous Crabshell Inn. With its waterfront position, you’re able to appreciate the surroundings while you sip a pint, and it’s only a five-minute stroll away from home. 

Explore the market town of Kingsbridge, drive to Salcombe and visit as much of South Devon as you can manage in between all of the relaxation you’ll be doing in this home. Kindle a fire in the wood-burning stove and sit back with a glass of wine as you watch the world go by through the floor to ceiling windows.

This Georgian beauty set along the Salcombe-Kingsbridge estuary offers luxury and style in equal measure. Thanks to a sympathetic extension, there’s room for all ten of you to pile in at this design-savvy home. Spill out into the smart drawing room with a log burner and glorious views over the estuary, or sneak into the second sitting room for some quiet time. Outside, the manicured lawns lead down to a private quay and shingle beach – perfect for paddling or crab fishing at low tide. Fancy a change of scene? Central Kingsbridge, with an established restaurant scene, is just a ten-minute walk away.  

The Ambassador's Retreat

Paid Parking

Throws

Located in Kingsbridge, this delightful Victorian home offers a wonderfully comfortable base from which to explore the market town’s sights, as well as the delights of the South Devon AONB. 

Styled with a modern touch yet retaining much of its historic charm, you’ll find a welcoming open-plan living area decorated with nautical prints and boasting ample natural light. We’re particularly fond of the wood-burning fire here that invites cosy evenings enjoying the warmth of its glow over a glass of wine. 

Upstairs, meanwhile, you’ll find a pair of comfortable bedrooms beckoning a restful night’s sleep, while outside, the private leafy garden is the ideal spot to enjoy alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners when you’re not out sampling the local pubs. 

Speaking of exploring, you’ve got a wealth of things to see and do nearby, including the Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum (a three-minute walk), Hope Cove (a seventeen-minute drive), as well as the South West Coast Path.

Board Games

Pool / Snooker Table

Outdoor Kitchen

Architecturally designed to focus on the breathtaking views of Bowcombe Creek, this home has large floor-to-ceiling windows and a contemporary touch.  Apart from the private gym, sauna and games room, there's an encouragement to take to the outdoors here. You'll find gear for paddleboarding and kayaking in the boat house. Stick to dry land with a few games on the basketball court or by strolling over two acres of woodland. Prefer a less active approach to holidaying? There's a hot tub to appreciate the rolling countryside from and a beautiful terraced outdoor section with a pizza oven.  Gorgeous, tranquil and practical – seems like a winning combination to us.

An Old Boat Ride Home

EV Charger

Rolling hills, hot tubs and contemporary design are on the cards at this standout home designed by renowned architect Stan Bolt. Perched in the peaceful village of West Charleton and surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, its setting is idyllic. Inside, discover three well-proportioned bedrooms boasting floor-to-ceiling windows to let the outside in and a palatial primary bedroom suite with a private deck and hot tub for the ultimate relaxation. Outside, kids will love exploring the labyrinth of gardens, with water features and a shepherd's hut offering spectacular views across the South Hams. Ready for a change of scene? Charming Salcombe is just a fifteen-minute drive, and Slapton Sands are even closer. 

The Garden Song

Safety Gates

Tucked within the grounds of a private estate, this cosy cottage delivers a great solution for those in search of comfort, warmth and family fun. From the communal indoor swimming pool and tennis court to the gym and kids’ playground, you’ll find plenty to keep everyone entertained. This won’t be the best option if you’re looking for total seclusion, but you will have a private terrace, snug rooms and a wood-burning fire. It’s also in a great location – the Salcombe-Kingsbridge Estuary and the sandy beaches of south Devon are within easy driving distance. 

Rustic Joy

Fancy a romantic getaway with a twist? This upside-down home places a firelit living area above the bedroom, where the en-suite bathtub enjoys a framed view of the creek. Upstairs, we think the waterside terrace might inspire a paddle to Salcombe – made easy by the three-seater kayak your host provides. It's worth noting that there is a bit of a hike to the front door here (thirty-six steps, to be precise), so this home won't be the best option for everyone. 

The Great Outward

Tucked away in a secluded valley, yet with South Ham's water's edge and Devon's beaches a short drive away, the setting of this cottage is one of a kind. Part of an impressive country estate, kids will love the shared indoor heated pool, tennis court, playground and vast communal lawns found within the grounds – not to mention the trampoline, slide, climbing frame, sit-on tractors and football pitch. It's worth noting this elegant cottage only has a small private courtyard leading off the kitchen. But with those shared terraces overlooking the valley for barbecues and pizza oven nights, we can forgive that.

A Devon Dream 

Set just off Salcombe's bustling high street, you couldn't dream up a more central location for this stylish home. Not that you'd know it sat on the oh-so-private terrace of this palatial property. Offering practicality and style in equal measure, the orangery dining room is a delight – and that designer kitchen with twin dishwashers and wine fridges makes entertaining a breeze. With flexible arrangements for each bedroom, which are spaced apart over three floors, this home perfectly suits big groups looking to holiday together without crowding each other.

Sea Salt Waves

One of six natural stone cottages tucked away within a secluded valley between Dartmouth and Salcombe, this home's location is idyllic. With no local amenities to walk to, you'll need a car to get out and about. Though you're rarely a fifteen-minute drive from South Devon's sheltered coves and South Ham's water's edge is even closer. There's plenty to keep everyone busy within the cottage's vast communal grounds, too. Think shared indoor heated pool, tennis court, playground, communal lawns and alfresco terraces. Prefer a little more privacy? That wood-burning fire and small suntrap terrace back at the elegant cottage should do nicely.

Devon Blue

Underfloor Heating

Paid Parking On Street

Set in the heart of bustling Salcombe, this former fisherman's cottage is a delightful place to call home. As you can expect, the interior has plenty of coastal charm, though it is a tad snug upstairs. All the contemporary comforts are accounted for, be it underfloor heating or White Company toiletries. Evenings call for cocktails in the front courtyard – there's a distillery just across the street where you can sample local gin. Also within walking distance are Salcombe's artisan shops, independent eateries, and picturesque harbour, perfect for dog walks in the sun.

Wind & Sail

You won't be short of things to do with a stay at this South Devon cottage set on a country estate. Expect a shared indoor swimming pool, gym, tennis court, a kid's playground, and so the list goes on. If you don't feel like being sociable, there's a private courtyard back at home for summer months and a wood-burning fire to hunker down beside in winter. Set in a small, secluded valley, you'll need a car to get out and about here. But we don't think you'll mind, with South Hams and Bantham Beach both just a short drive away.

Fenced Garden

Fenced Property

This barn makes an excellent option for a rustic retreat in the heart of the South Devon countryside. Along with the idyllic views, you’ll be welcomed by neutral yet snug rooms (the living area features a cosy log burner) as well as a secure private garden – an ideal spot for children and pups to explore. And when it comes to adventures further afield, it’s just a fifteen-minute drive to the local beaches at Bantham and Bigbury-on-Sea, while beautiful walking trails can be followed straight from the door. 

A Tale From The Farm

In the heart of pretty Salcombe, just a minute’s walk from the harbour, this breezy apartment is the perfect base from which to explore the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Dating back to the 17th century, you’ll notice vaulted ceilings and timber beams have been lovingly restored to provide timeless character among the modern comforts. The open-concept layout makes for easy entertaining – keep up with conversations as you tend to dinner in the stylish kitchen. For evenings when you’d rather hang up your apron, you’re footsteps from pubs offering hearty fare and fine ale. Spend sunny afternoons watching boats bob in the quay or pack a picnic and take the leisurely twenty-minute walk to North Salcombe Sands, where clear azure waters and rock pools teeming with crabs await. 

Harbour Breeze

Just a short stroll from the centre of Salcombe, this apartment is a refreshing coastal escape. The rooms are bright and breezy, the balcony has beautiful views across the estuary and we love the sweet extras like the Sonos sound system, Netflix and The White Company toiletries. Families should note that child-friendly amenities aren’t available here and that little ones will need to be supervised in the communal garden. Still, it’s a fantastic location with easy access to East Portlemouth's beaches, as well as hiking trails through the surrounding countryside – not to mention private parking for adventures further afield.

The Sea From Here

Sauna

Just outside Salcombe, this two-storey home places you amongst rolling hills and an idyllic lake. The living areas, offering up incredible views, are perfect spots for relaxing after a hike, but it's outdoors where this home really comes to life – there are 2.5 acres of private gardens to explore, and the home even has its own private slipway on the lake. Fancy trying out paddleboarding? Speak with your host to arrange to hire a couple throughout your stay.

The Oasis House

Parking On Premises

Outdoor Shower

Perched directly on the South West Coast Path, this penthouse apartment is all out the panoramic sea views. We reckon you'll spend most of your time on the private balcony. Sip wine, spot seals, or simply bask in the seaside scenery – no matter what you get up to, it's a little slice of heaven. Need a break from the sunshine? The living area has an open-plan layout ideal for socialising, while each bedroom is as comfortable as the next. With Hope Cove’s eateries within walking distance and the beach just a short stroll away, it has everything you need for a laid-back stay on the South Devon coast.

Black-Out Blinds

Located in the coastal village of Marlborough, this home makes it easier than ever to relax. Out in the palm-filled garden, you can sit back in the hot tub before getting out and taking a perch next to the fire. Alternatively, the alfresco lounge on the terrace isn't a bad spot for a languorous evening over a bottle of wine.

Heading through the glass doors, you'll see the interior is just as geared towards laid-back living. Not only in the decor — heavy as it is with faux fur, house plants and neutral colours — but also in the numerous sumptuous spots where you can kick back. During the colder evenings, you can get cosy on the sofa with the log-burner crackling in the background or lie back in the freestanding bathtub. During brighter days, the dining table in the conservatory complete with an upright piano is sure to see some action.

As you can probably guess from the nautical view from many of the windows, the seaside isn't too far away. South Sands Beach is only seven minutes away in the car, for instance. That's just one of many beauty spots in the surrounding South Devon AONB and once you've worked up a hunger from seeing all the locale has to offer, simply drive over to Salcombe in six minutes and hit up one of the seafront gastropubs.

South for the Summer

Blu Ray Player

Salcombe sits near the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, where the tides ripple in from Devon’s south coast to create a wonderful waterfront town. With a bustling shellfish industry, you can imagine the sorts of culinary delights you might experience during your stay, as well as traditional fish and chips, and even Michelin-rated eateries over the water in Kingsbridge. Ready to set sail?

Just under half a mile from Salcombe Harbour (around a ten-minute walk) this garden apartment boasts shimmering vistas of the waters beyond. Set in a tasteful, modern building, we think you’ll be spending a lot of your time on the extensive private terrace. With glass-fronted balconies, you can take in the views while reclining on sun loungers with a cocktail in hand. 

After sunset, you can step inside for an aperitif before heading out to dinner. The living space is an inviting nest of cushy corner sofas, woollen throws, and wooden floors. Perfectly modern and rustic at the same time. Sophistication and elegance continue throughout the home, culminating in a superbly stylish dining space with a chunky timber bench and nautical colours – not that you’ll be dining in much.

Lobster Bisque

More a way of life than a holiday home, this unique stay offers a wealth of outdoor activities and add-on experiences. Aimed at families who like to get out into the fresh air, it's a fabulous country house in an idyllic rural setting. Right on the River Avon, it's the perfect spot for wild swimming with a rope swing and river plunge pool in the garden. Set in its own pretty grounds, the rustic farmhouse can trace its roots back to the 12th century and has plenty of character. Stone floors, oak beams and fireplaces are topped off with comfy furnishings and a lived-in, home from home feel. We love the living room with its exposed stone wall and cosy sofas around the fire. Bedrooms are all of a good size and even the bathrooms are stylish. Ideal for a large family group, you can cook meals in the country kitchen and serve them at the huge dining table, or barbecue outside on the Argentinian grill on warmer evenings. If the lure of the water has called you here, you can spend days playing in the river, or hop into the twelve-man hot tub. Head off for walks nearby or just let the kids bounce on the trampoline while you sit back with a cold beer on the sun loungers. Other add-ons include sea fishing with the host and taking time out in the log-fired sauna in the grounds. And it's just a short drive to Kingsbridge and the coast if you fancy a change of scene.

River Dipping

Ceiling Fans

This beautiful pet-friendly home in Salcombe offers coastal charm in spades. Laid out over two floors, you’ll find thoughtful touches at every turn, from the wine fridge and Sonos speaker system to the Juliet balcony with creek views and the luxurious en-suite with its freestanding tub. Outside, meanwhile, the home ups the ante with a sunny front patio, as well as a back garden complete with a gazebo for alfresco dining, gas and charcoal barbecues and a pizza oven. It’s ideally located a short stroll from Island Street where you can nip over to its artisanal shops for morning croissants and essentials, while Salcombe Castle and the nearby beaches can easily be reached by car. 


The Seaside Riviera

Extra Pillows and Blankets

Multiple Sets of Keys

There’s no chance of forgetting where you are when you stay in The Bowline. The nautical theme runs through the entire apartment (and when you head out, the entire town of Salcombe), but with good reason. This part of south Devon has some of the most picturesque coast in the country, so it makes sense that the area emphasises that. The apartment itself is charming, with a real homely atmosphere. It’s not huge, but if you don’t try to pack it out, it’s plenty big enough, and Diana’s hosting is top-notch, which goes a very long way.

Just a five-minute stroll from Salcombe's waters, you'll find this seaside beauty housed in a handsome Georgian villa apartment surrounded by landscaped gardens.

Inside, this place is the epitome of good taste – and we'd expect nothing less from arguably the prettiest village on the South Devon coast. The interior designer host has effortlessly nailed coastal chic, fusing muted blues and greys, tasteful seascapes on the wall, and dashes of driftwood.

Sunny mornings call for lazy alfresco breakfasts in your private garden to steal a glimpse of the nearby sea, hills and fields beyond. Meanwhile, kids and furry friends can run off some energy on the lawns  – the village park, just a one-minute walk away, can help with that too. 

When it's time for some seaside nostalgia, spend bucket-and-spade days down on Salcombe's sandy beaches – just a twenty-minute scenic stroll along the coastal path past the ruins of the village's castle fort. Up the ante with sailing, kayaking, and surfing on the estuary (a five-minute stroll away). Or mooch along to the cafes, restaurants, traditional pubs and ice cream parlours of the village's well-heeled high street (two minutes from your door) – you'll be in good company.

Salcombe Seascape

Beach lovers will rejoice at the location of this home. Perched on the edge of North Sands, this is the perfect setting for a coastal retreat. Enjoy the idyllic views from the terrace and the bedrooms (all of which have an en-suite bathrooms). There’s a welcoming living room for social gatherings and the cosy snug features a desk for remote workers. Private parking is available and you’ll find plenty to explore straight from the doorstep – Salcombe town centre is just a short stroll away. 


The Seaside Pearl

Situated in a private gated development, this penthouse apartment is all about the views. Easily accessible courtesy of the lift from the covered parking area, head on up to the third floor and you’ll find an open-plan, light-filled space waiting to welcome you home. The sea vistas are best enjoyed from the balcony over a glass of wine, but you’re spoilt with scenery from most parts of this home – fling open the bi-fold doors and take it all in. Better still, Salcombe's centre is just a short stroll away, so you'll never be too far from shops, eateries and the water.

The Olde English

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

This 250-year-old thatched cottage will charm you from the get-go. It's tucked down a winding lane surrounded by rolling countryside, sandwiched between Hope Cove and Salcombe. There's no doubt the location is impressive, but we reckon the home is even better. The garden is the epitome of outdoor living, with a bubbling hot tub, a summerhouse, and a panoramic terrace. You can toast marshmallows around the fire pit, or when the weather turns, head inside to the drawing room and get cosy in front of the fire. The cherry on top is the shepherd's hut, where a lucky couple can unwind in total privacy. No wonder English Home Magazine deemed it a 'must-stay' on the Devon coast.

Set within the grounds of a hotel right on the South Devon Coast, nestled amongst 2000 acres of unspoilt Natural Trust land, this magnificent home mixes country and coastal charm effortlessly. 

Step into the sun lounge and you’re met with panoramic sea views and the perfect place to nestle down for some quiet time with a book – if you can tear your eyes away from the view, that is. 

With the large, bold and beautiful open-plan kitchen and dining area, it’s easy to see that this home was designed as a space for family and friends to gather. This is a kitchen you’ll want to cook in, and you’ll be surrounded by your loved ones as you rustle up a feast.

The outside space jostles for attention with the interior, and it would be hard to choose a winner. We love the treehouse and the private hot tub, which is just perfect for soaking in at the end of a long day exploring the area, sipping a sundowner and watching the spectacular sunset. You'll also have access to a nearby communal saltwater pool, tennis court and a spa.

With the beauty that surrounds you, you’ll be eager to get out and explore. The South West Coastal Path is within easy reach and it’s just a short drive to the stunning North and South Sands beaches, where you can soak up the sun and the sea air. 

The House of the Soaring Sun

Tucked away in a peaceful but central part of Salcombe, this home had our attention the second we caught those views. With a raised position and spread over three floors, the windows are perfect for watching the town’s iconic harbour. Downstairs, the large living space combines the dining room, kitchen, and living room, meaning guests can easily break off into smaller groups while still being together. Nearby, the adventurous can try crabbing along Victoria Quay or even have a go at paddle boarding. You’ll also want to take advantage of the free parking permit, ideal for exploring even more of Devon’s stunning coastline.

The Seashells for Days

This coastal cottage is the perfect retreat for families or groups of friends seeking a chilled-out stay. With nautical designs and waterside views overlooking Salcombe estuary from the balcony terrace, you don't even have to go out to be reminded of your seaside location here. Our favourite spot in the home has to be over by the wood-burning fireplace – perfect for cosying up after a day on the beach. The roll-top bathtub adds a touch of luxury, meanwhile, the extra lounge area upstairs lets the kids have their own space. Just a short walk from the high street and steps away from boat access to the water – you'll have the conveniences of Salcombe in the palm of your hand. 

Just the Sea

Kitted out in whites and blues, rattan, faux fur throws, and macrame, this beach house in West Buckland will not only make for a very stylish stay, but just so happens to also be the perfect base of operations for any watersports enthusiasts. Bantham beach – a twenty-minute walk away, seven minutes by car if you’re eager to get there – is famous for being a surfing beach, so if you’ve always wanted to try, or maybe you've mastered the surfboard already, this will likely be your first port of call. If that’s not quite in your wheelhouse, there’s always paddleboarding, and if you feel safer on solid ground, simply walk the dunes or spend the day sunbathing instead. Look out for the famous Gastrobus where you can find breakfast, pizzas and snacks. Days can also be spent walking the coastal path to South Milton, exploring the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or golfing at the local course.

Make it back home in time to watch the sunset from the comfort of the garden furniture outside and stay out there for a while before heading back in to get dinner ready – that is, of course, if you haven’t already dined out. Find a spot at the dining table, and after you’ve eaten, clear the table to get a board game set up for some friendly competition. As it gets chillier, light the wood-burning stove before settling in for a bit of late-night television and a chill glass of wine.

Malt Cottage

This home is conveniently located in the heart of Salcombe, less than a five-minute stroll from cafes, shops, restaurants and the Victoria Inn pub. Beach fans will be pleased to know Salcombe North Sands is reached in twenty-five minutes by foot or seven minutes by car. Inside, expect views over the estuary from the living area and a well-equipped kitchen for easy cooking and entertaining. As the cottage is spread over three floors, those with limited mobility may find the stairs tricky.
