The Old Lobster Pot

The Old Lobster Pot is a stone cottage on Victoria Place in Salcombe, two bedrooms sleeping five behind a blue stable door and a harbourfront terrace.

A blue door sits in a stone surround, the harbour just visible beyond it from the street.

A conservatory living room

A bright conservatory-style living room keeps rattan armchairs beneath a vaulted ceiling and cage-style pendant lights, built-in bench seat nooks adding striped and lobster-print cushions on either side, storage baskets tucked beneath the seating. The open-plan kitchen and dining area sits under a high ceiling with its own pendant lighting, grey shaker cabinets running along the counter beside a dining table set for breakfast.

Two bedrooms with a nautical touch

Both bedrooms sleep up to five, one with a patterned headboard and pink cushions, the other dressed in an orange throw beneath fish-themed prints and a decorative oar. A bathroom serves the cottage, with a vessel sink set on a wood console against a blue accent wall.

A rooftop terrace with the harbour below

The rooftop terrace holds pink wicker chairs and a champagne bucket, the harbour and moored boats visible below the railing.

Right on the harbourfront

The Old Lobster Pot sits on Victoria Place within reach of both Small's Cove Beach and East Portlemouth Beach, in the heart of Salcombe.

A characterful base for a small group

Two bedrooms and a rooftop terrace over the harbour suit a couple or small family wanting somewhere with real character, the conservatory living room and terrace both worth an evening.
