Push the boat out with a stay at this coastal apartment overlooking Salcombe's North Sands. The sunset views from the private terrace are a knockout, and if the weather doesn't buck up, the vistas are just as impressive curled up on the sofa in the elegant lounge. With Salcombe's iconic beach and seafront café, Winking Shrimp, just a three-minute walk from your door, you couldn't dream up a better location. However, it's worth noting the centre of Salcombe is a bit of a walk, so you might prefer to drive if you have little ones in tow.
