About this property
Enjoying a prime position on Salcombe’s beautiful waterfront and just paces away from the town’s collection of boutique shops, eateries and a choice of two beaches is this third-floor apartment, Salcombe 34. With its magnificent estuary views, this studio apartment, with it's good sized balcony is perfect for couples seeking a base to call home as they enjoy a traditional Devon holiday, with the added benefit of an outdoor heated swimming pool to soak up the summer sunshine and a private mooring on the pontoon.

Joining the space is the cosy sitting area, with a plush sofa waiting for you to sink into, positioned for enjoying the unsurpassed estuary views or flicking through the channels of the TV. Once the sun has set over the harbour, look forward to retiring for the evening by pulling down the double bed and snuggling under the sheets; the apartment comes with an additional single sofa bed, should you wish to bring another guest along with you (by request). The highlight of the studio accommodation is the private but spacious corner balcony, where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining with the soundtrack and backdrop of Salcombe’s spectacular waterfront vista to admire.

The apartment was well equipped and the bed was so comfortable for a pull down bed. The view was lovely to wake up to in a morning and I could just sit all day watching the activities going on in the harbour. Will definitely book again.
