About the host

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the area because it is so beautiful, nestled in wonderful countryside yet beside the water. It is lovely to arrive, park up the car and walk down to the beaches or local pubs or get the ferry over to Salcombe for a bit of shopping without ever using the car for your entire holiday. South Pool with it's wonderful Millbrook Inn is half an hours walk from the house and the lovely Pigs Nose Inn at East Prawle is a short drive from the house. There are plenty of things to do with children near by - horse riding, craft cafe in Salcombe, water sports etc.
What makes this property unique
The house is minutes from lovely golden beaches such as Mill Bay and on the South West Coastal path yet walking distance to the regular, all year round passenger ferry service from East Portlemouth ferry steps to Salcombe Ferry Inn. On weekends and bank holidays it runs from 8:30am too 7pm. Weekdays 0700am to 7pm. Cost £1.60 each way. There is also a water taxi which runs on the hour up to 10pm from Salcombe to East Portlemouth - weather dependent. £1:80 single adult fare. The house is also near lots of great pubs and restaurants - for example - Millbrook Inn in South Pool/Pigs Nose in East Prawle, Gara Rock.
