Overview of Perrotts

Perrotts occupies an unusual position for a larger Salcombe holiday home. It is close enough to walk into town yet sits above Batson Creek in a quieter, more secluded setting surrounded by lawns, mature planting and countryside views.

The house is arranged over three floors. On the ground floor, the principal lounge and dining room form a bright open-plan space with long windows, three sofas and doors opening directly onto the terrace. The dining table seats all ten guests, allowing the main social area to work equally well for relaxed evenings and larger family meals.

The kitchen is equipped with a seven-burner range cooker and two ovens, alongside an American-style fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher and Nespresso machine. This level of cooking capacity is particularly useful when several families are sharing the property.

A second sitting room on the first floor gives the house another dimension. With its own sofas and television, it provides somewhere for children, teenagers or smaller groups to relax separately from the main lounge.

Outside, broad lawns wrap around the house, with established trees, shrubs and borders creating more privacy than might be expected so close to Salcombe. The paved terrace leads down to a separate outdoor dining area with a large rustic table and barbecue.

An optional hot tub can also be added to a booking for an additional charge, giving groups another way to use the garden during evenings or cooler weather.

Perrotts at a Glance

Who is Perrotts Best For?

Perrotts works particularly well for groups who want the convenience of Salcombe without sacrificing garden space, parking or separate indoor living areas.

The five-bedroom layout suits a mixture of couples, adults and children, while the second sitting room gives different generations somewhere to retreat when they do not all want to use the main lounge.

Dog-owning groups are also well accommodated, with extensive outdoor space at the property and good walking opportunities around Batson Creek and the surrounding countryside.

For visitors planning to spend much of their holiday in Salcombe itself, being able to leave several cars on the driveway and walk into town is a considerable advantage during busier periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Perrotts have a hot tub?

A hot tub can be added to the booking for an additional charge, subject to availability. Guests should request it in advance.

Can you walk into Salcombe from Perrotts?

Yes. Salcombe and the estuary are around a 10–15 minute walk away. The property sits above Batson Creek, so parts of the return route are uphill.

Does Perrotts have enough parking for a large group?

Yes. The private driveway has space for several cars.

Is Perrotts dog friendly?

Yes. Two dogs are normally permitted, with additional dogs potentially accepted by prior arrangement with the owner.

Does the house have more than one living room?

Yes. There is a large ground-floor lounge and dining area plus a separate first-floor sitting room.

Is Perrotts close to beaches?

Yes. Salcombe is surrounded by sandy beaches on both sides of the estuary, with North Sands, South Sands and the beaches around East Portlemouth all within easy reach.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms at Perrotts

Perrotts has five bedrooms arranged across the first and second floors, with one twin room on the first floor and the remaining four bedrooms above.

The layout provides three super king-size bedrooms and two twin rooms, making it particularly suitable for groups containing several couples alongside children or friends who prefer separate beds.

Group Accommodation Layout

Bedroom 1 is on the first floor beside the second sitting room and family bathroom. This separation from the other bedrooms can be useful for older children or guests who prefer a little more independence.

On the second floor, three super king-size rooms provide comfortable adult accommodation, two of them with private shower rooms. The final twin bedroom has its own basin and shares the family shower room.

How does the layout work for a group of 10?

The permanent beds sleep ten without relying on sofa beds or temporary additions.

Three super king-size rooms can accommodate three couples, while the two twin rooms provide four separate beds for children, teenagers or other adults.

Because Bedroom 1 sits on a different floor from the main sleeping area, groups can also use it to create some separation between family units. The two ensuite doubles reduce demand on the shared bathrooms when the house is full.

Bathroom Layout

Perrotts has four bathrooms spread across the two sleeping floors.

• First-floor family bathroom with bath and handheld shower
• Ensuite shower room to Bedroom 3
• Ensuite shower room to Bedroom 4
• Second-floor family shower room

This distribution means both bedroom levels have nearby bathroom facilities rather than requiring everyone to use the same floor.

Facilities & Information at Perrotts

Perrotts is particularly well set up for group self-catering, with the main kitchen and dining facilities concentrated on the ground floor and additional utility space above.

The kitchen's seven-burner range cooker and twin ovens provide considerably more capacity than a standard domestic setup. An American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave and coffee machine complete the main cooking facilities.

The adjoining dining area seats ten, while large patio doors connect it directly with the outdoor terrace. This makes it easy to move meals outside during warmer weather without separating the group from the kitchen.

Laundry facilities are located in a first-floor utility room with a washer/dryer and sink. A travel cot, highchair and fixed stair gate are provided for families with younger children.

The gardens are one of the property's defining features, with lawns extending around the house rather than being limited to a small rear terrace.

Location & Things to Do Near Perrotts

Perrotts sits above Batson Creek on the quieter northern side of Salcombe, giving guests an appealing starting point for both the town and the countryside around the Kingsbridge Estuary. Batson itself retains a more peaceful waterside character, with small boats, creek views and walking routes that feel noticeably removed from the bustle around Fore Street.

One particularly worthwhile local walk follows the landscape around Batson Creek towards Snapes Point. National Trust land here opens up panoramic views across Salcombe and the wider Kingsbridge Estuary, with a relatively gentle one-mile route once at Snapes Point itself.

In Salcombe, the harbour dominates daily life. Sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking and boat trips are all readily available, while Fore Street has independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants close to the water.

The passenger ferry to East Portlemouth provides one of the easiest ways to reach the quieter eastern side of the estuary. From there, visitors can walk to Mill Bay, a sheltered sandy beach backed by woodland, before continuing along the coast path towards Gara Rock and more secluded coves.

On the Salcombe side, North Sands is a popular family and dog-friendly beach, while South Sands sits closer to the estuary mouth. A seasonal ferry links central Salcombe with South Sands, where passengers complete the journey aboard the distinctive sea tractor.

For a longer walk, the South West Coast Path continues beyond South Sands towards Bolt Head and the dramatic cliffs around East Soar. Overbeck's Garden is also found above this stretch of coastline, with subtropical planting and elevated sea views.

Kingsbridge, around six miles inland, provides larger supermarkets and additional shops. Perrotts therefore gives groups a useful balance: countryside and creek walks from close to the house, Salcombe's harbour within walking distance and some of the South Hams' strongest beaches and coastal scenery accessible without travelling far.
