“Ginn Cottage was exactly as described.”

Beautifully decorated with a lovely 'seaside' feel. Good quality fixtures and fittings, and linen - and very comfortable beds! A good location very near to short and long stay car parks and an easy stroll both into Salcombe centre and Batson Creek. The Council no longer do week long passes, so you need to renew your ticket each 24 hours (easily done on the phone or by machine). The small but pretty garden was ideal for sitting in the sunshine.

Beautifully decorated with a lovely 'seaside' feel. Good quality fixtures and fittings, and linen - and very comfortable beds! A good location very near to short and long stay car parks and an easy stroll both into Salcombe centre and Batson Creek. The Council no longer do week long passes, so you need to renew your ticket each 24 hours (easily done on the phone or by machine). The small but pretty garden was ideal for sitting in the sunshine. Personally we would have found a microwave useful, but we managed without and it really did have everything else you could want. The owner has provided a lovely place to stay.

Thank you so much for taking the time to give Ginn Cottage such lovely feedback! We've passed your comments regarding a microwave on to the owner who will investigate if there a little reconfiguration of the kitchen could accommodate one! We are so pleased you enjoyed your time in Salcombe and look forward to welcoming you back to the area again soon. Owner relations

“The cottage was perfect and deceptively spacious.”

There were a few crucial bit missing in the kitchen. No chopping knifes it peeler.

“Great little cottage ideally suited for a girls weekend visit to the Gin school.”

Cosy and well equipped. The fire made it! Maybe take a wireless speaker for some chilled background music. Beds were very comfortable.

Thank you very much for your kind review in respect of your recent stay at Ginn Cottage. We were delighted to receive your comments and there will be a wireless speaker system in place shortly. We hope you choose to stay with us again very soon. The Team at Coast & Country Cottages Owner relations
“We have stayed in Ginn cottage a few times now and have really enjoyed it.”

It is a quirky, cosy and very comfortable ex fishermans cottage. Like many character cottages, the kitchen is quite small which is fine for simple suppers, lunches and breakfast. The cottage is very nicely furnished. It is really useful to have the utility room and store downstairs, so you can drop off all your beach and sailing bags etc before going into the cottage. The main attraction is its location with easy access into the town - It is close enough for an easy stroll into town for a drink or something to eat and yet far enough away for peace and quiet. It is the perfect place to escape to and snuggle down for a winter break - equally great as a base for summer outdoor beach and boating fun. It's fine for 4 adults, but even more perfect for 2 who want a neat little cottage in lovely Salcombe, The cottage garden is delightful too

Both my wife and I had a wonderful stay in this beautifully decorated little cottage in Salcombe The work that has been put into the decoration of this terrace Fishermans cottage is to be admired Based in the heart of Salcombe all the amenities are only a couple of minutes walk away I would recommend this cottage as a place to stay when visiting Salcombe and exploring Devon

“My husband and I stayed at Ginn Cottage in August this year, we had the most relaxing time which is just what we needed.”

Everything was on our doorstep so we didn’t even have to get in the car for the whole week, which was bliss. We found the cottage to be so beautiful and so well equipped, it had everything we could have needed. The decor was beautiful and the bedrooms and bathrooms outstanding, just perfect. The added bonus to this beautiful cottage was the garden, just perfect to unwind after a long day exploring the beautiful town and beaches. Can’t wait to book again next year.

“The cottage is beautifully decorated, with lots of nice touches and details within.”

The bedroom was very comfortable! There was plenty of space for us to live in and self-cater for multiple days, and it was in a great location with easy access to both the town centre and for us to go out for walks.

“I spent a week at Ginn Cottage 2nd to 9th March.”

It was furnished and decorated to a very high standard and equipped with good quality kitchenware and accessories. It's a compact cottage, but deceptively spacious and the 2nd floor bedroom is very cosy, the bed being amazingly comfortable which is important to me as I don't sleep well way from home. We didnt make use of the garden at that time of year but I imagine that its a gorgeous spot in summer for the obligatory gin(n) and tonic. All in all a very pleasant and relaxing trip; I would definitely recommend it.
