Crab Cottage is a quaint, terraced cottage in a quieter part of Salcombe, yet within a short five minute level walk of the town’s shops and restaurants. The property accommodates six people in three bedrooms (one en suite double and two twins), and has a family bathroom with whirlpool bath! There is also an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room featuring a wood burning stove. Recently refurbished to a high standard throughout, this delightful property has a rear terrace and parking for one car. Crab Cottage is a three-storey property, ideal for those looking for high quality accommodation within quick, level access of Salcombe. For reasons of comfort the accommodation is not recommended for more than four adults in any one party. No pets permitted. The door of the top bedroom is at the bottom of the stairs and therefore not suitable for under 5's. You are welcome to bring your own stairgate. Please note the rear garden has shared access to the neighbouring properties and is not enclosed. There is off-road parking directly outside the cottage for one very small sized car (approx. 4m x 1.8m) Please note this is accessed by parallel parking on a narrow road.

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.
