Slipways

Slipways looks straight out over Salcombe harbour, its windows framing moored boats and waterside buildings from a position on Fore Street above the water.

Green armchairs at a harbourside window

The living room is built around that view, two green armchairs and a cream sofa arranged beside a window seat that looks over the harbour, a fireplace giving the room a second focal point. A smaller seating nook, cushioned and tucked beside built-in wardrobe doors, sits close by. The kitchen is white-fitted with a teal tiled splashback and wood worktops, and a built-in dining nook with bench seating sits right at the window, its table laid for breakfast with the harbour in view.

Two bedrooms, each with a breakfast tray

Both bedrooms are dressed in pink headboards, one with floral accent wallpaper and soft toys by the window, the other with a round mirror and a red chest of drawers. A breakfast tray appears on the bed. The bathroom has a wooden vanity with a round basin, and a separate shower cubicle with a tiled storage niche and a heated towel rail.

Salcombe on the doorstep

Small details recur throughout: candlesticks against a panelled wall, a velvet cushion embroidered 'Salcombe', a tray of wine glasses and olives. The amenities list this as pet-friendly, useful for anyone travelling with a dog along this stretch of coast toward Small's Cove and East Portlemouth.

A harbour-view base for two couples

With two bedrooms and that harbour-facing living room, Slipways suits two couples or a small family wanting to be right above the water in Salcombe, breakfast at the window rather than a walk to the front.
