About Coast & Country Cottages

Discover the heart of South Devon with Coast & Country Cottages

At Coast & Country Cottages, we are proud to market and manage self-catering holiday homes exclusively in the beautiful South Devon countryside and along its coastline.

As part of the Forge Holiday Group, we specialise in bringing our valued customers and owners the best of both worlds: the knowledge and experience of a national brand, coupled with hands-on support and local expertise from our offices in Salcombe and Dartmouth.

Coast & Country Cottages’ Story

Founded over 24 years ago on the southernmost tip of Devon, Coast & Country Cottages began with a simple mission: to provide outstanding holiday accommodation for those choosing to enjoy Salcombe and Dartmouth.

Reflecting the popularity of our picturesque county, our business has grown and gone from strength to strength, achieving accolades in the prestigious British Travel Awards for 10 consecutive years, between 2014-2024.

Today, we offer over 500 holiday properties, located in some of the most enviable locations imaginable across the South Hams. From waterside apartments and coastal cottages offering uninterrupted sea views, to luxury pet-friendly farmhouses nestled in the rolling Devon countryside! With shepherd's huts, safari tents, town houses and more, our collection includes options for all party sizes and requirements.

Why Choose Coast & Country Cottages?

A local brand
Our team of locally-based travel experts live in South Devon and work from our offices in Salcombe and Dartmouth. We are passionate about our region, spending time on the beaches, visiting local eateries and walking the coastal path. We love to welcome holiday makers to the area, especially when they love it just as much as we do! 

With national reach
It’s not just our local knowledge that makes us desirable. Since joining the Forge Holiday Group, we have a greater marketing budget and resources of a national company. For the property owners we work with, this means we can maximise the income potential of their accommodation, securing superb levels of year-round bookings. For customers, the benefits are huge too. You need only look at our highly acclaimed owner and customer apps to see our commitment to excellence!

Offering unprecedented service
Whether you are holidaying with us or letting a property with us, we are always available to help with our dedicated 24/7 support line. We work with a network of trusted tradespeople and with an in-house property management team, taking care of property changeovers, cleaning, laundry, maintenance and holiday home management; our service is fundamental to what we do. Each owner will even have a dedicated Account Manager, with specialist knowledge of their property.
