About the host
Hosted by David Easterfield
We live in Somerset in the SW of England, a relatively short journey away from Salcombe. Having been regular visitors to Salcombe with our young family we grew to love the area at all times of year. Eventually we purchased the house back in 2012 as a base for family holidays and long weekends.
We continue to visit throughout the year and, hopefully, you too will see what keeps bringing us back.

Why they chose this property
Salcombe will always have a special hold for us as the place where our children grew up, playing on beaches and in boats on the beautiful Salcombe Estuary. From loving the location it was a short step to buying a house there and when Hope Cottage became available we didn't hesitate!
The house has many advantages in the Salcombe area. For family holidays it is within easy walking distance to the ferries for the main beaches and, importantly an easy walk back at the end of the day without the need to climb any of Salcombe's notoriously steep roads with all your beach paraphernalia. If you have a boat you can even load and unload at the end of the street!
Having stayed further "up the hill" a number of times in the past, we very quickly appreciated the advantages of being a short walk on the level from Salcombe's main amenities.
We love Salcombe for its combination of sea, scenery and the vitality that springs from its reputation as a haven for watersports. The geography of the Salcombe Estuary means that whatever the wind direction, there is usually a beach in shelter. If it is calm you can venture out to sea or, alternatively on less-calm days you can visit the many hidden creeks (and a few excellent pubs) up the estuary.
The coastline is spectacular in both directions with the Devon Coastal Path passing within a few hundred yards of the house. This makes it ideal as a base for walking from the doorstep or, if something more challenging is required, a short drive to the Dartmoor National Park.

What makes this property unique
Hope Cottage was originally an end-terrace fisherman's cottage. The accommodation operates over three levels, with the kitchen on the ground floor and the "snug" lounge on the top floor. This allows some separation within the property such that older children can sit or watch TV upstairs while adults can cook and enjoy a drink downstairs.
Alternatively there is a roof-balcony off the lounge which is a perfect spot for watching the boats return in the evening. Facing East it is an even better spot to enjoy breakfast or a morning coffee in the sunshine. (The balcony has a rail but is not suitable for unsupervised small children).
The house is well placed to enjoy the evening entertainment being close, but not too close, to the popular Island Bar & Grill and the Fortescue Arms pub. Both are excellent and child-friendly. A recent addition has been the Salcombe Gin Distillery on Island Street which is a perfect venue for a more grown-up drink in the evening.
