Our featured Devon holiday cottages include this property within walking distance of Salcombe and its many attractions. The town became famous for the schooners which brought fruit from the West Indies. These days the town is a retirement haven, to some extent because it enjoys some of the mildest weather in England. Gardens are terraced down to the edge of the water and contain such exotic plants as palms and orange and lemon trees. Salcombe is also a centre for pleasure craft and ferries. Sailing and motor boats are available for hire with or without tuition. Travelling the estuary by ferry is one of the nicest ways to get around. The Rivermaid Ferry sails to Kingsbridge and the East Portlemouth Ferry crosses the estuary to the lovely, sheltered beaches of Smalls Cove, Mill Bay and Sunny Cove.

From here ferries ply across the estuary to East Portlemouth, with fine beaches, and up to Kingsbridge, a thriving market town with indoor pool and sports centre.
