UK Holiday Cottages

This unusual waterside property is a converted semi-detached boathouse in an unrivalled position on the shore of the Salcombe estuary. Although just a short walk from Kingsbridge, its secluded and peaceful location makes it seem that you are far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Superb views from the balcony and most windows extend across the water to unspoiled countryside on the opposite side of the estuary. At high tide the water often laps the footings of the house, where small craft can be moored or beached and with a slipway nearby this is a great place to enjoy a watersport based holiday. At low tide the shoreline offers wonderful opportunities for bird watching, glorious walking along the estuary, crabbing for the young, or just to watch the passing yachts and river craft and enjoy the natural beauty of these stunning surroundings.
