    “The accommodation was wonderful.”

    The sofas and beds extremely comfortable. The furnishings were high quality and the kitchen was very well equipped (apart from no ice tray which, when reported to Sykes Cottages office, they delivered two ice trays the next morning.) Our only real criticism was that the television was placed far too high on the wall which caused us discomfort and have cricked necks when trying to watch Wimbledon.

    The sofas and beds extremely comfortable. The furnishings were high quality and the kitchen was very well equipped (apart from no ice tray which, when reported to Sykes Cottages office, they delivered two ice trays the next morning.) Our only real criticism was that the television was placed far too high on the wall which caused us discomfort and have cricked necks when trying to watch Wimbledon. In the end we had to move the sofas further back towards the end of the sitting room. We would have given the cottage 5 stars if the TV had been at a lower level on the wall. Apart from that the cottage was fabulous.

    Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Apologies for the TV height - I blame my brother-in-law for that!! We’ll look to get it lowered later this year and sorry it affected your Wimbledon viewing! I’m pleased you enjoyed your stay otherwise. O&B Property Owner

The property

Quay Cottage is a beautifully finished two-bedroom property, perfectly positioned in the heart of Salcombe, Devon.

Just moments from local amenities and a short stroll to the town’s stunning beaches, this charming cottage offers an idyllic base for families, friends, or couples eager to explore the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Step inside and you’ll find a compact yet well-equipped kitchen, complete with everything you need to prepare delicious meals.

Gather in the living/dining room, where plush sofas and a dining table for four create a cosy setting for relaxed evenings.

On warmer days, head outside to the quaint seating area and enjoy an alfresco supper as the sun dips below the horizon. When night falls, make your way upstairs to two inviting bedrooms: a double room, ideal for couples, and a twin room, perfect for children or friends.

Both are served by a sleek shower room, offering a refreshing start to the day or a calming wind-down before bed. Adventure is never far from Quay Cottage.

Explore the vibrant town of Kingsbridge, just a short drive away, where independent shops, galleries, and tempting eateries await.

Further along the coast, discover Dartmouth’s rich maritime heritage or enjoy family fun at Paignton Pier.

For a full day out, head to Plymouth for shopping, sightseeing, and attractions such as the National Marine Aquarium and Plymouth Hoe with its spectacular waterfront views. Whether you’re seeking coastal walks, cultural discoveries, or simply a relaxing break, Quay Cottage promises a memorable escape in one of Devon’s most picturesque locations.

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. You can also take the small ferry across the estuary to the beaches of East Portlemouth, and a walk to Gara Rock. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including sailing, 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.
