If you’re after postcard-perfect vistas, this smart townhouse overlooking Salcombe's harbour fills the bill. Ideal for extended families wanting to holiday together without crowding each other, the four bedrooms are spaced apart across three floors with a downstairs double bunk bed room, complete with a cosy TV den that little ones will love. What’s more, there’s a sun-trap private terrace with a barbecue for alfresco meals on long summer nights. Perched along a quiet street, and yet just a short stroll from the bustling high street and waterfront to jump on a boat (your host can organise champagne cruises), its location is spot on.

Home truths:
*One long-stay car park permit will be provided for parking at nearby Creek End (summer) or Shadycombe (winter).
*A travel cot and high chair for little ones are available on request – just request with your host in advance.
*This home is set out over three floors with internal stairs, which may not be suitable for guests with restricted mobility.
*Luxury bathroom essentials are provided to help settle you in.
*If there are ten of you sharing, the dining area and outside table may feel tight as there's only room to seat six comfortably.
*The bunkbeds are better suited to children.
