Family-friendly vacation rentals in Salcombe

I stayed at Katka’s place with my 2 sisters and 2 cousins for the weekend. Katka gave us a tour of the accommodation on arrival and explained some simple rules on using the pool-spa which were very helpful . We had an absolutely fantastic time here , her place was very nice, clean and spacious for 5 people. We really enjoyed the pool-spa area , taking the covers off was a real giggle and putting them back we laughed more, so be careful. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the sea front , where we found lots of cafes . We had an evening meal at The Crab Shack which was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was really lovely and sitting looking out at the sea was a bonus. Thank you Katka for making us feel welcome, oh yeah and thank you for the cakes on our arrival, delicious 😋 Will definitely recommend your accommodation to other people and look forward to to seeing you in the future Kind regards Jane & family 🤗

Lovely cottage, had everything we needed for a great week. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. All the crockery, utensils and pans you need for cooking. Hot tub was certainly a favourite and well used! Nice to have plastic ‘glasses’ for use outside. Great selection of games was a nice surprise. Being able to walk the dog right from the doorstep made it so easy - we really enjoyed exploring the smallholding. Hosts were very quick to respond with answers and support. Yes, the Tesco delivery man did manage to find us and unload :-)

Trystan was an incredibly kind and helpful host, really accommodating and went out of his way to make sure all of the kiddies were happy and comfortable. If you’re looking for child friendly accommodation this is it, there is every kind of toy and car available for the kids to play with, very easy and a fun house to stay in. Beautiful gardens and a great location.

Gorgeous place with everything you'd want to have a cute little weekend away!! hot tub was set up so all we had to do was pull back the cover and hop right in. Kitchen had everything needed to cook whatever meals you fancy. Just a 2 minute walk away from the local and less than a 10 minute drive out to the moors.. perfect!!

Thank you we really enjoyed our stay at cedar lodge. The location and setting was stunning. The lodge was homely and well equipped.

what a wonderful place. you feel completely immersed in nature. the views are spectacular and the yurt reminds you how simple living is the best. we only stayed a night but we'll be coming back for a longer stay after seeing what a lovely place it is. thank you Maren and Richard, a great stay.

What can I say, 🤷‍♀️ the house was beautiful. Ticked all our boxes, and our host was amazing. Attentive and extremely helpful, thankyou Mark,I am sure we will be back 👏👏

Lower Marsh Farm is brilliant. Wonderful location, excellent facilities, peaceful and calm. Due to the rural location, you do need a car to get there and navigate the area. Olivia the host is incredibly attentive, the instructions for getting there are clear, the optional services are excellent, and the setting is idyllic. We visited with two young children who were captivated by the wildlife and farm animals. Enjoy!

We loved staying at the Rocket House with our little dog. It felt like a home away from home, comfortable, spacious, and light, and I spent many hours sitting watching and listening to the sea from the big front window. It was so relaxing being so close to the beaches and sea, and being able to pop out and sit by the harbour. Portwrinkle was a lovely place, very friendly, and on the SW coast path so you could walk easily, and close to Crafthole for dinner and the community shop (an uphill walk but then down on the way back!). We visited Cawsand and Kingsand, Looe, Polperro, Antony house, Wilcove, Mount Edgcumbe, all nearby and beautiful. We will come back and stay again because I loved the home itself, the location, and the peace of the view and sea. Doing my yoga practice with the window open and the sound of the sea was wonderful. I didn't want to leave but I came home feeling rested and happy. Thank you so much.

Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends & family. We went as two couples and three dogs (Hungarian Vizslas), staying in the two neighbouring cottages, and it was idyllic. We had the smaller cottage. Quiet, cosy and clean. We did the vineyard tour and wine tasting with our dogs in tow, which was fab, then had dinner al fresco in front of the accommodation, accompanied by wine from the vineyard. As well as being free to walk our dogs around the vineyard, there are lots of other country walks nearby. Staying in such an old property and countryside location, I was very pleasantly surprised by the strong WiFi, TV with all streaming channels and powerful hot shower, these were the cherry on top after a day out walking. Word of warning to owners of dogs reactive to livestock, there can be cows or sheep in the neighbouring fields only a few feet from the front door, with a fence that could easily be jumped through or over. Not an issue for us but could be for others.

Thyme cottage was such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The cottage is characterful and comfortable and well equipped. The fireplace was a wonderful, warm touch. The village of Woodbury Salterton is charming and friendly and close to Exeter. The Diggers Rest is a must! Stop in for a friendly pint or even better for a meal. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. Thyme cottage will be among our top stays.

We wanted to get away from it all in a part of Dartmoor we hadn't been to before and Steve's place seemed to fit the bill. When we got there, we found that it more than met our expectations! The Barn was exactly what we were looking for: a wonderful peaceful location and extremely comfortable and very well-equipped accommodation. The big selling point for us was the fact that the Barn was on lots of well-mapped walks, so that we could go on lovely walks in all directions without having to get in the car. Steve and Tessa were the perfect hosts; they made us feel most welcome and we found we had a lot in common. We very much enjoyed our short stay and look forward to returning to the Barn before long to explore the area further.

We spent a week at the property and it was just right for us. It is conveniently situated for the places where we wanted to go to, it was very comfortable and clean, and located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with easy parking. It has a small table set on the patio, which overlooks the pleasant, dog friendly, not overlooked garden. The breakfast supplies that were left for us were an extra bonus, and saved us having to find local shops. We would certainly recommend staying here, and are sure to return. tip... Babbacombe/Oddicombe beaches (out of season) and the nearby Old Rydon Inn were our favourites. Lovely.

The Waves apartment was a well thought out, relaxing, comfortable holiday home for couples or families alike. Emma has thought of everything from sunny days to rainy days. Recommend for both short and long stays. Stoke Fleming is the perfect spot to explore Dartmouth and local villages. Blackpool Sands is a must.

Die Unterkunft war wunderschön. Die Fotos sagen schon alles. Die zwei Zimmer mit je eigenem Badezimmer waren toll. Alles ist mit so viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und sehr geschmackvoll. Die Betten waren super bequem und der kleine Innenhof sehr gepflegt. Wir und unsere Hunde wollten gar nicht mehr gehen.

Schönes gemütliches Cottage auf vier Ebenen verteilt. Liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allen was man braucht. Die Kommunikation war gut und schnell. Die direkte Nähe zum Hafen hat uns besonders gefallen, wir werden es weiterempfehlen.

We really enjoyed our stay at Thurlstone. The apartment was ideally located on the beach making it easy for easy beach fun for the kids. They went rockpooling, swimming and made sandcastles every day. We enjoyed the views of the sunset while having dinner and drinks on the balcony. The flat was bright and spacious. We felt safe and had a comfortable stay with everything that a family of five would need. Our host was responsive, accommodating and friendly. We would stay again in a heartbeat :)

We loved our stay at the house. It was perfect for our two families to stay in. The house was so homely and lots of lovely extra touches of flowers, biscuits and wine were really thoughtful. The facilities on site were brilliant: the pool was fabulous; play room much enjoyed by our children of various ages; and the tennis court looked wonderful although we ran out of time to use it - a good excuse to book a return visit!

The host, Julie, was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Beautiful surroundings and the views from the chalet were incredible. We were visiting old friends and neighbours and it was an excellent base. The walk down into Shaldon along the golf course was convenient and stunning but be prepared for the walk back up!! The chalet had everything we needed and was really nicely decorated with comfy sofas and beds. Wish we were there longer and would love to go back.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Priesthole Cottage. Access to the larger grounds of the main house and the heated pool were the icing on the cake. Beautiful peaceful surroundings, characterful comfortable cottage, great host in Iona, and the wonderful town/area of Stokenham & Torcross. Thank you Iona!

We had a wonderful stay at Martin’s caravan. Having stayed at this site before we knew the location was perfect, but Martin’s caravan is another level of quality compared to standard ParkDean caravans. Spacious, clean, well equipped and the addition of the veranda & picnic bench all make for a wonderful stay.

Emily has a lovely caravan in a quiet spot on an otherwise busy site. The caravan felt surprisingly spacious and it was great to have that second toilet available. It was also lovely and very convenient to have the shower. The site offers a lot for families with several play areas, crazy golf and swimming pools.

My family and I had a wonderful time. We even extended our stay by 2 nights as we didnt want to leave. The apartment was really lovely, had everything we needed with a well equipped kitchen. My boys loved the tennis court and swimming pool. The views from the apartment were stunning overlooking the sea. we started each day with a morning (very cold) swim in the sea followed by a lovely coffee/hot chocolate from the cafe on the beach. I would highly recommend Des's apartment. We will definitely be returning

Milton was extremely helpful. We left a few things behind he couldn’t have been more helpful. Answered every message quickly. We felt really at home in the Lodge. Everything we needed and appreciated the fire as the weather suddenly turned cold. Thank you for all your help. We would love to stay again.
