About this house rental
We've owned the Roundhouse for about ten years, and enjoy lovely family holidays there all year round. The spacious house is in a wonderful position above the estuary across from Salcombe, South Devon, in the pretty village of East Portlemouth. Originally a threshing barn, it has been completely renovated as a contemporary and stylish home with accommodation for 7 people in 3 bedrooms.
With the beautiful, sandy beaches of Mill Bay and Sunny Cove, the passenger ferry to Salcombe and the stunning South West Coastal Path all just a short walk away, the Roundhouse could not be better placed for a seaside holiday. The Salcombe estuary - one of the loveliest in the South West, with miles of sheltered water and fine sandy beaches - is renowned for its sailing, safe swimming, kayaking and body-boarding.
The Roundhouse offers a wonderful light and airy space, with a big living room overlooking the village church, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, stone fireplace with wood burning stove, and doors leading outside. Stairs lead upstairs to a bright, open-plan and well-equipped kitchen and dining area, with washing machine, tumble dryer, cooker and microwave.
The house has three bedrooms - one double room and one twin room, plus a room sleeping three with bunk beds. There are two bathrooms - a large modern bathroom with bath and shower downstairs, and a lovely light shower room and loo upstairs.
The terrace garden, sunny courtyard and an unusual covered indoor-outdoor area create a great entertainment space for dining, barbecues and games in all weather. The pretty terrace has views over the hills above Salcombe. It is dog friendly.
There is ample parking on a gravel driveway for up to 3 cars.
East Portlemouth is an attractive village in a peaceful rural setting on the Salcombe estuary. It is served by a regular passenger ferry and water taxi service to Salcombe, a bustling town with shops, pubs and restaurants. There is a wonderful Village Farm cafe with farm shop, excellent pubs in the neighbouring villages of East Prawle and South Pool, and plenty of lovely restaurants to choose from in Salcombe, Kingsbridge and the local villages, including the nearby Gara Rock. Salcombe is just a mile away across the water; Kingsbridge, a pretty market town at the end of the estuary is 10 miles by car (or 4 miles by boat); and the A38 Devon Expressway is 16 miles.

The house felt homely and comfortable, and there were lots of guides and leaflets about the local area. The outside area was lovely too. The host was attentive and helped us with our queries prior to arrival. The sourdough loaf was a lovely touch. It was great being able to walk down to the bay, and get the foot ferry to Salcombe.

We spent a lovely ten days in this lovely, homely and well equipped property. The outside area was such a bonus particularly as the weather wasn’t great, we could still enjoy the table tennis and dry washing outside.The house is comfortable and spacious. The attention to detail makes the property very welcoming.Communication with the owner was great with useful tips and recommendations

This is a lovely holiday rental which is spacious and well positioned for the beautiful beaches, many local walks and Salcombe. The owners were very helpful both before we booked and during our stay. The property is dog friendly and secure. There is plenty of parking on the drive and on adjacent roads. Only downside was the lack of recycling which meant a trip to a bottle bank and taking cans and plastics back home with us. Overall a fabulous 14 day staycation In Devon. Good memories. Thank you.
