Guests say
Quay Cottage in Salcombe is highly praised for its comfort, excellent kitchen facilities, and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. Its central location is ideal, though parking can be challenging during peak season. The cottage is snug, with a particularly small bathroom, but it's well-appointed and the beds are super comfortable. Some noise from the street is noted in the mornings.

We have stayed on Island Street many times and weâd definitely book this one again, itâs a super location. Great kitchen facilities, much better than many weâve stayed in and super attention to detail throughout. It can be noisy in the mornings as itâs right on the street but thatâs to be expected. Also, weâre arenât tall people and found the bathroom beautifully done but very snug! Overall another lovely week in Salcombe in a really nicely appointed house. Thankyou!
