UK Holiday Cottages

LOCATION The cottage is in a unique location adjacent to East Portlemouth beach on the beautiful Salcombe estuary. It offers excellent opportunities for watersports and other beach activities, and the cottage includes the benefits of both a swinging and running mooring for boats or dinghys ('Whitestrand Boat Hire' offer a dedicated hire service to Ferrycot tenants at additional cost - boats can be hired and placed on these moorings as required. Please contact office for further details). The cottage is also ideally positioned to take the late afternoon and evening sun and to see the sun set behind Salcombe.  The cottage can be reached quickly and easily via the small passenger ferry that runs all year round from East Portlemouth slipway (or water taxi after 5.30pm during High Season).
