“Great house in a great location.”

Coast & Country’s local team are very helpful (not a big fan though of the Sykes central booking line). However another enjoyable break.

“Perfect property for my family.”

We have stayed in numerous properties over the last 20 years in Salcombe and will definitely stay there again. We absolutely loved the living room; very spacious and well furnished with the lovely view. Indeed the whole property was well thought out. The only reason I have held off the 5 stars is that it would have been nice to have some sort of privacy door between the top floor bedroom and the floor below's bathroom. My daughter and son in law were on the top floor and we were on the floor below, so at night and first thing in the morning when we went to use the bathroom they were still in bed with no door between them and us, creeping to the bathroom!

Many thanks for your kind review, it’s great to hear Anchorage was the perfect property for you family. Your feedback in respect of the layout of the top floor / bathroom have been noted. We look forward to welcoming you back next year. Owner relations

The property

Anchorage is a spacious and well-presented holiday home with lovely views and private parking, furnished and decorated to a very good standard throughout.

The three-storey detached house includes four bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms (two of which are en suite), a superb dual aspect sitting room overlooking the town and estuary beyond, and delightful three-tiered garden.

It is very well set up for family parties, but equally comfortable for two-three couples looking for a Four Star holiday retreat in a relatively quiet area of the town. The property is in Bonaventure Road, approximately 7-10 minutes downhill walk (steep in places) to Salcombe town centre with its array of boutique shops, pubs and restaurants.

Very pleasant views from most rooms towards Snapes Point, South Pool Creek and along the beautiful Kingsbridge/Salcombe estuary. Steps lead up from the off-road parking bay to the ground floor entrance – this in turn opens into a hallway with attractive wooden flooring, and level access to the dining room, kitchen, utility room, conservatory and en suite double bedroom.

Stairs lead up from the hallway to the sitting room, two further bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. A modern and very good sized kitchen is fully equipped with a range of attractive oak units, Rangemaster cooker with five-ring hob, oven and warming drawer, and integrated dishwasher.

The adjacent utility has a further range of units and houses a large fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and microwave.

A door leads through to the conservatory which features an oak breakfast table with bench seating and chairs, sofa and TV.

Door to terrace and garden.

A lovely dining area has wooden flooring, extendable table seating up to eight guests, feature fireplace, wooden dresser, and a bay window offering lovely views towards Snapes Point. On the first floor is a wonderful open living space with two bay windows framing the delightful views.

It has been cleverly and tastefully furnished to offer a comfortable TV area - with two double sofas, matching footstool, feature fireplace and widescreen TV with Sky Q and surround sound - to one side, and an informal reading or social area with four armchairs, sideboard and dresser, to the other. Four bedrooms in total.

On the ground floor/lower level is an en suite double bedroom with King-size wooden framed bed, bedside units, drawers, wardrobe, TV, and lovely views.

The fully tiled en suite has a large shower, wash-hand basin, w.c.

and heated towel rail.

On the first floor a cosy second bedroom has a double bed, whilst a third has full-size bunk beds.

A further bedroom – built into the second floor roof space - has a super King-size bed, drawers, hanging rails and two velux windows offering lovely views.

The small, fully tiled en suite has a corner shower, wash-hand basin and w.c.

In addition to the two en suites (above) is a fully tiled family bathroom on the first floor, comprising a bath, shower (over) w.c., wash-hand basin and heated towel rail. To the rear of the house is a private three-tiered garden and terrace area.

At the lower level (off the conservatory) is a stone terrace with table, chairs and barbecue, whilst the upper level offers a small but pleasant lawned area.

The middle section is presented with flower beds, shrubs and trees.

N.B.

Some of the stone steps to upper levels have deep treads so young children and/or guests with limited mobility should not be left unattended.

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.

Tiered garden with steep stone step - do not leave young children unsupervised. One well-behaved dog is permitted. All bed linen and towels are supplied. You will need to bring your own beach towels.
