Terms of Use

Last updated: 25 August 2026

1. About these terms

These terms govern your use of Salcombe Holiday Accommodation. By using the site you accept them. If you don't accept them, please don't use the site.

They are written to be read, not to be survived. If anything here is unclear, ask us and we'll explain it in plain terms.

2. What this site is — and what it is not

Salcombe Holiday Accommodation is an independent guide to places to stay in Salcombe and the surrounding South Hams. We describe accommodation around the Kingsbridge Estuary and link you to Booking.com, where you can see live availability and complete a booking.

We are not a booking agent, a travel agent or a tour operator. Specifically:

• We do not take bookings and we do not take payments.
• We do not own, run, let or manage any of the properties described here.
• We hold no reservation on your behalf and have no access to your booking.
• We cannot amend, cancel, refund or chase a booking. Only Booking.com or the property itself can do that.
• We are not the agent of any property owner, and nothing on this site should be read as us acting for one.

If you have a problem with a booking, contact Booking.com or the property directly using the details on your confirmation. We are not able to help, and writing to us will only delay you.

3. Definitions

“We”, “us”, “our” means the operator of Salcombe Holiday Accommodation.
“The site” means salcombeholidayaccommodation.com and everything published on it.
“You”, “your” means the person using the site.
“Booking platform” means Booking.com, which is where our accommodation links lead and where any booking is actually made.
“Accommodation provider” means the hotel, guest house, B&B or self-catering owner offering a property.

4. Affiliate links

We earn commission from Booking.com when someone books after following one of our links. It costs you nothing extra — you pay the same as you would going to Booking.com directly — and it does not change which properties we list or how we describe them. Our affiliate disclosure sets this out in full.

5. Prices and availability

We do not publish prices, nightly rates or availability, anywhere on this site. This is deliberate. Accommodation pricing changes constantly with season, demand and length of stay, and we hold no reliable feed of it — so any figure we printed would be out of date or simply wrong, and you might make a decision on it.

For what a stay actually costs and whether the dates you want are free, follow the link through to Booking.com. What you see there at the moment you book is the only figure that counts.

6. Accuracy of what we publish

We take care over the descriptions, photographs, facilities and locations shown here, and we correct mistakes when we find them or when you tell us about them. But property details change without notice, and much of the underlying information comes from Booking.com rather than from us.

So: treat this site as a starting point, not as a warranty. Before you book, confirm anything that would change your mind — accessibility, parking, pets, arrival times, whether the hot tub is actually there — with the property or on its Booking.com listing.

Guest ratings and review scores shown on property pages come from Booking.com. We do not write, edit, weight or filter them.

7. Using the site

You may read, link to and share anything published here. You may not:

• use the site for any unlawful purpose, or in breach of these terms;
• scrape, harvest or bulk-copy our content, listings or photographs for a competing service;
• attempt to interfere with the site, its security, or anyone else's use of it;
• present our content as your own, or use our name or branding in a way that suggests we endorse you.

8. Intellectual property

The site's original text, layout, design and branding belong to us and are protected by copyright. Property photographs and listing data remain the property of Booking.com, the accommodation providers, or the photographers concerned, and are used on that basis. Photographs of places in and around Salcombe are used under the Creative Commons licences stated in their captions and on our photography credits page.

If you believe something here infringes your copyright, please tell us with enough detail to identify the material, and we will take it down while we look into it.

9. Links to other websites

We link out to Booking.com, to accommodation providers, and to attractions, transport operators and other South Devon organisations. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, their terms or their handling of your data. Once you leave this site, their terms apply, not ours.

10. Privacy

How we handle personal data is set out in our Privacy & Cookie Policy, which forms part of these terms.

11. Liability

The site is provided as an information service, free of charge, and is offered as it stands. We don't promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that every detail is current.

Because we are not party to your booking, we are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, cleanliness or conduct of any property or provider listed here, nor for anything that happens during your stay, nor for a booking that is changed, cancelled or not honoured. Those are matters between you, the provider and Booking.com.

To the extent the law allows, we exclude liability for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this site — for example a wasted journey, a lost deposit or a missed connection. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights.

12. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always the one on this page, and the date at the top tells you when it last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-law rules of your own country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in your own local courts.

The accommodation this site describes is in Devon, in England, and the people using the site are overwhelmingly travelling within the United Kingdom. English law is therefore the law most of our readers would expect, and the one under which the consumer protections that matter here already operate.

Note on where we operate. This site is written about Salcombe, in Devon, but it is not run from the United Kingdom — the operator is based in South Africa. That does not change the terms above, but it does mean more than one data-protection regime applies to your personal data. Our Privacy & Cookie Policy explains which, and what it means for you.

14. Who operates this site

To be completed before launch. This section needs the operator's legal or trading name, the country it operates from, and — only if a registered company actually exists — its registration number and registered address. A sole trader has no registration number and must not claim one. Until those details are supplied this section is intentionally blank: a plausible-looking registration number on a legal page is not a placeholder, it is a false statement of corporate identity.
