Overview of Craiglands

Craiglands is a four-bedroom holiday cottage sleeping eight on Coronation Road, placing guests in an excellent central Salcombe location without being directly on the busiest waterfront streets. Island Street is just moments away, while Fore Street, Whitestrand Quay, restaurants, shops and the passenger ferry to East Portlemouth are all within a short walk.

The house is particularly appealing for groups containing several adult couples because all four bedrooms provide double accommodation. The principal room has a king-size bed and private shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms each have a double bed. This makes Craiglands quite different from many eight-person family cottages where much of the capacity is provided through bunks or children's beds.

Downstairs, the accommodation has been arranged as an open-plan social space. The kitchen and dining area seats all eight guests together and opens through French doors to the garden, while the adjoining sitting area has generous seating for evenings at home.

The rear garden adds valuable outdoor space in central Salcombe, with contemporary furniture for meals and drinks outside during warmer weather. A private parking space for one car is another useful feature in a town where parking can be at a premium.

Craiglands is an especially good option for guests who want the freedom to leave the car behind. Salcombe's harbour, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, ferries and watersports are all accessible on foot, while sandy beaches can be reached either by walking or crossing the estuary by passenger ferry.

Craiglands at a Glance

Who is Craiglands Best For?

Craiglands is particularly well suited to adult families, groups of friends and couples sharing because each of its four bedrooms has a permanent double or king-size bed.

Four couples can therefore stay without anyone needing to use a bunk, twin or sofa bed. Families with older children and teenagers who are happy to share double beds should find the layout equally straightforward.

The principal bedroom has its own shower room, while the main family bathroom includes both a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower. Additional WCs on two floors help when all eight guests are staying.

The central location is another strong reason to choose Craiglands. Groups can walk into Salcombe for breakfast, shopping, dinner or drinks and use the passenger ferry to reach beaches on the opposite side of the estuary.

Location & Things to Do Near Craiglands

Craiglands is particularly well placed for enjoying Salcombe without depending on the car. Coronation Road sits close to Island Street, an area associated with Salcombe's boatbuilding heritage and now home to independent businesses, food and drink producers and watersports activity. Continue for a few minutes and the heart of the town opens up around Fore Street and the waterfront.

Salcombe itself is built around its estuary. Whitestrand Quay is a hub for passenger ferries, boat trips and water taxis, while sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding give groups several ways to explore beyond the streets of the town.

One of the easiest outings is the passenger ferry across to East Portlemouth. The service operates daily throughout the year and lands close to Small's Cove, with Mill Bay only a short walk further along the coast. These sandy beaches offer a quieter contrast to Salcombe town and can be combined with a section of the South West Coast Path towards Gara Rock.

On the Salcombe side, North Sands is a sheltered sandy beach within walking distance of the town and is popular for swimming and relaxed family beach days. Continue further to South Sands for another sandy beach, watersports hire and access to coastal walking towards Bolt Head and East Soar.

Walkers have excellent choices in both directions. The South West Coast Path crosses National Trust countryside around Bolt Head, Bolberry Down and East Soar, while crossing the estuary opens the route towards Mill Bay, Gara Rock and Prawle Point.

Kingsbridge, at the head of the estuary, provides a larger choice of shops and supermarkets, while the immediate advantage of Craiglands is that restaurants, cafés, harbour activity and beaches can occupy several days without moving the car at all.
