About this property

Nestled in a peaceful location, yet within a 15 minute scenic walk of Salcombe’s shops, restaurants and quayside, sits Orchard Barn. A fabulous holiday home, close to the head of Batson Creek, the property provides comfortable accommodation for a couple or family.

Stroll in to town and enjoy crabbing on the quayside with the children, or why not catch the foot passenger ferry across to the sandy beaches of East Portlemouth, for a day soaking up the sunshine and paddling in the clear waters. With miles of South West Coast Path just waiting to be explored, the area is perfect for walkers too.

Orchard Barn accommodates up to five people in three bedrooms – a master en suite double bedroom, a second double room and a single room. The property also has a family bathroom and separate cloakroom.

The property has a very comfortably furnished living accommodation as well. The lounge has two sofas, a flatscreen TV and DVD player, plus an open fire – perfect for cosy evenings in. There is also a door leading out to the rear courtyard, with patio furniture. Ideal for al fresco dining in the summer, this is a wonderful spot for soaking up the South Devon sunshine! The traditional cottage kitchen is a very spacious room with a dining table and chairs. There is also parking for up to three cars or boats.

If you are looking for a peaceful retreat within easy reach of Salcombe’s amenities, this could be the perfect accommodation.

Salcombe is a popular destination for watersports enthusiasts, walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea. There are several pretty beaches within a short distance, including North Sands and South Sands, plus the coves East Portlemouth on the opposite side of the estuary, just a short passenger ferry ride away. Also on your doorstep is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, coasteering, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe, take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking on the South West Coast path.
