    “I last visited Elworthy Cottage in 2015 and could see that since then the owner has made improvements not least a toilet and washbasin upstairs!”

    The double bed was very comfortable which I find a rare thing with self-catering properties. I wasn’t too impressed with the kitchen equipment. It would have been very useful to have some scales and oven gloves. Not everybody eats out so I found this a disadvantage. Unfortunately the microwave had not been cleaned and was badly stained with food. Also the roasting tin in the oven had not been washed after use by the previous occupant. I also noticed the powder compartment in the washing ...

    The double bed was very comfortable which I find a rare thing with self-catering properties. I wasn’t too impressed with the kitchen equipment. It would have been very useful to have some scales and oven gloves. Not everybody eats out so I found this a disadvantage. Unfortunately the microwave had not been cleaned and was badly stained with food. Also the roasting tin in the oven had not been washed after use by the previous occupant. I also noticed the powder compartment in the washing machine was very dirty which I cleaned out. Overall, it did not spoil my stay at the cottage with its lovely secluded garden and paddock and car parking area. It is a truly lovely spot with a lovely ambience and I would recommend it to anyone seeking peace and tranquility. Finally my thanks to Alice for arranging a new whirligig washing line for me!

    Im pleased you felt the need to return to Elworthy and yes i agree it is a very special place so quiet yet so close to the creek and all Salcome facilities. When i was chatting to you and arranged for a new washing line its a shame you hadnt mentioned the couple of points you were not happy with as Alice would have been straight there to sort them for you. As always if unhappy with anything the caretaker is on hand to sort the problem. Property Owner

The property

Holding character and tradition from its thatched roof to its wooden beams, Elworthy is a traditional Grade II listed cottage, perfect for your family retreat to Salcombe, and only a 15 minute walk along the side of the creek into town.

Step inside to find a snug sitting room home to a woodburning stove, there's no better spot to spend an evening unwinding as the dinner simmers in the kitchen.

The kitchen is also home to a modest dining area where you can gather to discuss your plans for the day ahead while enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal.

When sleep calls, head up the stairs to find two bedrooms; consisting of a king-size room and a twin, it offers the perfect layout for a small family to rest before delving into action the next day.

Outside is a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee on the patio or alfresco dining straight from the barbecue in the summer months amongst the coastal breeze.

Enjoy a cup of coffee in the pretty garden and take in the views from the patio whilst soaking in the sun.

Elworthy is a delight of a dwelling, a perfect base for enjoying the wonders of South Devon.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

SALCOMBE

Kingsbridge 7 miles; Dartmouth 21 miles; Plymouth 24 miles; Paignton 26 miles.

Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking, including the South West Coast path.
