The Cabin, Salcombe
A Hidden Coastal Retreat in the Heart of Salcombe, South Devon
Property
Tucked away at the end of a charming shop-lined alley just moments from bustling Fore Street, The Cabin is a beautifully characterful studio holiday let in Salcombe, offering an intimate and tranquil coastal escape.
Peacefully removed from the lively town centre yet perfectly placed for exploring, this unique hideaway is ideal for couples, small families, solo travellers or friends seeking a relaxed break in one of South Devon’s most sought-after seaside towns.
With its clever use of space and boat-inspired design, The Cabin delivers a true sense of coastal living while placing Salcombe’s harbour, beaches, shops and restaurants right on your doorstep.
The Space
A short flight of steps leads to a private decked terrace and traditional stable door entrance. Inside, the property opens into a bright, open-plan living space styled with relaxed coastal charm and comfortable furnishings.
The galley-style kitchen is well equipped for preparing light meals, picnic lunches and seaside suppers before heading out to explore the estuary or nearby beaches.
The sitting area provides a cosy place to unwind after a day on the water, featuring a wall-mounted TV and an electric coal-effect fire for cooler evenings and the sofa bed provides additional sleeping arrangements for 2 young children.
A ship-style ladder leads to the mezzanine sleeping area, where a snug double bed sits beneath a Velux skylight, creating a calm, cocoon-like retreat.
Please note: the mezzanine has restricted headroom (maximum 4’2”) and is not suitable for young children.
Outdoor Space
The sunny decked terrace is perfect for morning coffee or an evening drink, offering a peaceful spot to soak up Salcombe ’s coastal atmosphere while planning the day ahead. This compact yet cleverly designed hideaway provides a truly restful base in the heart of town.
