Salcombe House | Stylish holiday barn by beaches and coast, above Salcombe estuary

3 Bedroom House in Salcombe

We've owned the Roundhouse for about five years, and enjoy lovely family holidays there all year round. The spacious house is in a wonderful position above the estuary opposite Salcombe, South Devon, in the pretty village of East Portlemouth. Originally a threshing barn, it has been completely renovated as a contemporary and stylish home with accommodation for 8 people in 3 bedrooms.
With the beautiful, sandy beaches of Mill Bay and Sunny Cove, the passenger ferry to Salcombe and the stunning South West Coastal Path all just a short walk away, the Roundhouse could not be better placed for a seaside holiday. The Salcombe estuary - one of the loveliest in the South West, with miles of sheltered water and fine sandy beaches - is renowned for its sailing, safe swimming, kayaking and body-boarding.
The Roundhouse offers a wonderful light and airy space, with a big living room overlooking the village church, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, stone fireplace with wood burning stove, and doors leading outside. Stairs lead upstairs to a bright, open-plan and well-equipped kitchen and dining area, with washing machine, tumble dryer, cooker and microwave.
The house has three bedrooms - one double room and one twin room, plus a room sleeping four with bunk beds. There are two bathrooms - a large modern bathroom with bath and shower downstairs, and a lovely light shower room and loo upstairs.
The terrace garden, sunny courtyard and an unusual covered indoor-outdoor area create a great entertainment space for dining, barbecues and games in all weather. The pretty terrace has views over the hills above Salcombe. It is dog friendly.
There is ample parking on a gravel driveway for up to 3 cars.
East Portlemouth is an attractive village in a peaceful rural setting on the Salcombe estuary. It is served by a regular passenger ferry and water taxi service to Salcombe, a bustling town with shops, pubs and restaurants. There are excellent pubs in the neighbouring villages of East Prawle and South Pool, and plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants to choose from in Salcombe, Kingsbridge and the local villages, including the nearby Gara Rock. Salcombe is just one mile away across the water; Kingsbridge, a pretty market town at the end of the estuary is 10 miles by car (or 4 miles by boat); and the A38 Devon Expressway is 16 miles.

Summary: Lovely spacious property with everything you need. Very quiet area with nothing really around apart from the nearby farm shop, so if you are after peace and quiet then it is ideal. It is very quick to get to the ferry to cross to Salcombe (£2.50pp each way) to get more shops, pubs, restaurants. Unfortunately it stops running at 18:30. Mill Bay beach is also lovely and not much further to walk. However be aware that the return walk is not for the faint-hearted. It is very steep, but ok if you take your time. We won't miss that walk back :) The road to East Portlemouth very long, winding and narrow and difficult for two cars to pass each other - especially wider cars. There are plenty of passing points and if everyone on the road is sensible and considerate then it is OK. Invariably you meet people who are neither, and that makes the drive quite stressful. We only ventured out in the car once to get shopping. Some nice walks, especially around to Gara Rock and back along the coast path. Stunning views.

Summary: We had a lovely stay. Mill Bay beach is stunning and well worth the climb back up the hill! If you have young children, it’s worth the 5 min drive down to the carpark in the morning though, as tired children and hills don’t mix! The electric bike hire opposite the house is a really fun family activity and we also loved Bantham Beavh about 40 mins away in the car. Thank you for a brilliant stay.

Summary: We had a wonderful 9 days in the Roundhouse. The Barn has everything for a relaxing family holiday. The village has no facilities of its own but a ferry ride to Salcombe is part of the magic of the holiday & our 2 year old black labrador soon got the hang of it. Fitness is required for the climb back up to the village. We loved sitting at the Venus Cafe on the East Portlemouth side of the estuary watching the sailing boats & activity on the water. Highlights for our family were lovely walks to the Gara Rock Hotel, The Winking Prawn St North Sands, Mill Bay Beach, breakfast at Stokeley Farm Shop & walking around Slapton & of course the famous Pigs Nose Inn, East Prawle.

Summary: It was our second visit to the Roundhouse, a spacious, well equipped house in a lovely quiet location. Just a short walk to fabulous beaches & the boat taking you across to Salcombe. The outdoor (undercover) table tennis provided a lot of fun in the evenings & the log burner some welcome warmth. Communication with the owners is excellent. We would definitely stay at the Roundhouse again & highly recommend it to others.

Summary: Good communication from the owner and very accommodating. Lovely clean well equipped kitchen and house, plenty of room for 5 adults and two dogs. Very safe garden for dogs and children. Would recommend 👌 the only negative would be not suitable for anyone with out transport shops are either in kingsbridge 10 miles in the car or across the estuary in salcombe 18mins away or 40mins drive. And if you chatch the ferry across be mindful its a good climb back up to the round house. But so worth the climb!!!. 😀😁
