Marlin Cottage, Salcombe

About this property

In the heart of Salcombe and just moments from the water’s edge, Marlin Cottage offers a welcoming base for families, friends and four-legged companions alike, with beaches, boutiques, waterfront cafés and harbour adventures all within easy reach.

Set just moments from the water's edge in the heart of Salcombe, Marlin Cottage is a wonderfully spacious coastal retreat where estuary views, sociable living spaces and an enviable location combine to create the perfect South Devon escape. Whether you're hopping aboard the passenger ferry, browsing the independent boutiques, lingering over lunch at a waterside café or setting off for a day on the beach, everything that makes Salcombe so special is quite literally on your doorstep.

Inside, the cottage has been thoughtfully designed for gathering together. The generous open-plan living spaces provide plenty of room for families and friends to relax, reconnect and share memorable moments after days spent exploring the coastline. Large windows with window seats allow beautiful views across the estuary, where sailing boats, paddleboarders and the ever-changing harbour scene provide a captivating backdrop throughout the day.

The well-equipped kitchen and dining area create a sociable hub at the heart of the home, perfect for leisurely breakfasts before a beach adventure or long evening suppers filled with good food, laughter and stories from the day's adventures. Upstairs, comfortable living areas invite guests to sink into a sofa, watch the world drift by on the water or simply unwind with a glass of wine as the sun begins to set over the estuary.

Marlin Cottage offers generous and flexible accommodation across four beautifully appointed bedrooms, making it ideal for extended families and groups of friends. Thoughtfully arranged to suit guests of all ages, the cottage includes a delightful bunk room that younger visitors will adore, alongside spacious double bedrooms designed for restful nights after days spent by the sea. Occupying the upper floor, the bedroom enjoys stunning estuary views and features a freestanding bath perfectly positioned for long, indulgent soaks, the ultimate holiday treat after a day exploring Salcombe's beaches, waterways and coastal paths

Outside, the sunny terrace provides a wonderful extension of the living space. Fire up the barbecue, gather around the table and enjoy relaxed alfresco dining beneath the open sky. From morning coffee in the sunshine to evenings spent sharing food and laughter under the stars, it is a space designed for making lasting holiday memories by the water.

With estuary views from every floor, flexible accommodation for all the family or friends, dog-friendly welcomes and one of Salcombe's most sought-after locations, Marlin Cottage offers a perfect coastal escape where the very best of this pretty town and waterfront are always within easy reach.
