A stunning family home in Salcombe (pictured left) is set high in wooded gardens looking out over South Sands with a private footpath leading down to the beach. Sleeping 17, it's a haven for a large family group to kick back and relax after days out exploring the countless creeks and sandy bays along the estuary.
On a smaller scale, right on the river beach in Teignmouth, is a toes-in-the-water fisherman's cottage (pictured left) sleeping four. Difficult not to while away the hours watching the ever-changing estuary views but there's also plenty to do here and across the water in pretty Shaldon. Or perhaps venture inland to explore spectacular Dartmoor?
