Shadycombe Lodge

Shadycombe Lodge is a dark timber-clad house in Salcombe, a small courtyard table and chairs set at the entrance.

A vaulted living room with a mezzanine

The open-plan living room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a staircase up to a mezzanine, a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove set into an alcove beside striped-cushion sofas and a wicker armchair, a leather sofa and corner desk finishing a second sitting spot, a daylit corner further along dressed with a cream sofa and wicker chair set beside the stone fireplace and a wall-mounted television.

Two twin bedrooms in sailing prints

Two bedrooms include a twin with white bedding, folded towels and framed sailing-boat prints, and a twin with oak beds and red-and-blue sailboat cushions, a white wardrobe and sage-green chest of drawers finishing the room. The three bathrooms include a walk-in shower with a vanity sink on a mosaic-tiled floor, a stone-walled room with a pedestal sink and shower stall on black tiling, and a further room with a white bathtub on black-and-white tiled floor.

A gingham-clothed dining table

The dining table is dressed in a red gingham cloth with wicker chairs, set within the open-plan beamed room, a slate-tiled hallway leading to the entrance through an open wooden door.

Three bathrooms, a wood-burning stove

Shadycombe Lodge suits a couple or small family wanting to be right in Salcombe — two bedrooms, three bathrooms and a wood-burning stove, parking and a washing machine covering the rest. Anyone in a couple or small family planning more than a few nights in Salcombe will find it a dependable choice.
