Overview of 9 Courtenay Street

9 Courtenay Street is a substantial Victorian holiday home sleeping eight in one of Salcombe's most convenient locations. The town centre is around a minute away on foot, placing the harbour, independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants almost on the doorstep while North Sands can be reached in approximately a mile. See more holiday homes for group cottage holidays in Salcombe here.

The house is arranged across four floors and makes the most of its elevated position. At the top is a spacious lounge with estuary views, three sofas and a balcony, giving the whole group somewhere comfortable to relax above the bustle of the town. A small butler kitchen on the same floor means drinks can be prepared without heading back down through the house.

The main kitchen diner occupies the lower ground floor and opens directly onto the garden. A dining table seats all eight guests, while a gas fire and television make this more than simply a cooking space. Three balconies and the patio garden add valuable outdoor areas in such a central Salcombe setting.

Four bedrooms provide two king-size rooms and two twins, making the sleeping arrangement particularly straightforward for two families or a combination of couples, children and friends. Three bathrooms are distributed across the house.

For groups who want Salcombe itself to be a major part of the holiday, 9 Courtenay Street has a significant advantage. Days can begin with breakfast in town, continue with a ferry, beach trip or time on the water and finish with dinner nearby without relying on the car.

9 Courtenay Street at a Glance

Who is 9 Courtenay Street Best For?

9 Courtenay Street works particularly well for two families because its four bedrooms divide naturally into two king rooms and two twins. Parents can each have a double bedroom while four children or teenagers have full-size single beds.

It is equally useful for groups of friends where some guests prefer separate beds. The three bathrooms also help eight guests share the house without relying on a single family bathroom.

The central location is particularly attractive to groups who want to leave the car behind for much of the holiday. Salcombe's shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants and waterfront are within easy walking distance, while ferries and boat services open up beaches and walks elsewhere around the estuary.

Guests should be comfortable with stairs because the accommodation is spread across four levels, with the kitchen diner at the bottom of the house and the main lounge at the top.

Location & Things to Do Near 9 Courtenay Street

Staying at 9 Courtenay Street puts Salcombe itself at the centre of the holiday. Fore Street, the harbour and the town's shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants are only moments away, so the group can head out for breakfast, browse the independent shops or enjoy dinner by the water without planning around the car.

The estuary opens up plenty of options for active days. Sailing is deeply connected with Salcombe, while kayaking and paddleboarding are popular ways to explore the sheltered water and surrounding creeks. Passenger ferries also make it easy to cross to East Portlemouth, where sandy beaches including Mill Bay and Sunny Cove provide a different perspective back towards the town.

North Sands is approximately a mile from the house and makes an easy beach destination from central Salcombe. Continue around the coast to South Sands for another sheltered beach and ferry connections back into town.

Walkers can link directly into some of the finest scenery in the South Hams. The South West Coast Path heads around Bolt Head towards Soar Mill Cove, with rugged cliffs, secluded coves and wide sea views. A challenging circular route from Salcombe via Soar Mill Cove covers approximately 6.6 miles.

Overbeck's Garden above South Sands adds another distinctive day out. Its subtropical planting thrives in Salcombe's sheltered coastal climate and the terraced gardens command impressive estuary views. The garden remains open seasonally, while the house itself is closed during ongoing restoration work.

For a change of scene, Kingsbridge is approximately six miles away, with independent shops, cafés and restaurants around the head of the estuary. Hope Cove, Thurlestone and South Milton Sands also make rewarding trips further along the South Devon coast.
