About this property
Ferryman's Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
Tucked into the heart of Salcombe, Ferryman's Cottage is a beautifully restored, grade-II listed fisherman's cottage with views that stop you in your tracks. Overlooking the ever-changing Salcombe estuary, this dreamy two-bedroom retreat is the perfect coastal hideaway for couples or small families - and four-legged companions are welcome too.
Step inside to soft, sea-washed interiors that feel both simple and special. Think curated coastal charm - a palette of whites and gentle blues, natural textures, and just enough nautical nods to remind you the sea is right outside. The pretty lounge is made for sinking in after a day on the water, whether you're curling up with a book or settling in for a cosy movie night.
Upstairs, sun-soaked bedrooms invite restful mornings with the windows flung open to the scent of salt and sea. The family bathroom is fresh and functional, and everything you need has been thoughtfully included for an easy, comfortable stay.
One of our favourite spots? The dining table with its lovely window seat in the pretty kitchen - the perfect perch for slow breakfasts and those freshly baked croissants from the bakery, as boats drift by and Salcombe gently wakes. Outside, you're just minutes from the ferry to sandy beaches and coast path adventures. Delicious restaurants, coffee spots and charming little shops line the street down the hill. North Sands and South Sands are both within walking distance, and the wild beauty of the South Devon coast is on your doorstep - ready to be explored by boat, board, or bare feet.
Please note: this is a traditional cottage, so the stairs are steep and the ceilings charmingly low in places. But that's all part of the magic here - a timeless, waterside haven where memories are made, from crabbing off the quay to watching the tide roll in from the window seat.
Little ones - a travel cot and high chair are available, please request these at the time of booking - please bring your own bedlinen for the cot
Pets - Ferryman's Cottage allows one well behaved dog at an additional charge
WiFi - There is Wifi throughout the property so if you need to stay in touch with the outside world you can!
Please note the single beds are suitable for children only up to aged 13 - small singles ie 75cm x 190cm mattresses
Smoking not allowed inside.
