From freshly caught seafood and 99s with a flake to sea air, cliff walks and salty hair… we love the coast and more importantly, we love staycationing. We’ve planned what we think is the ultimate holiday itinerary and we want you to win it. Picture with us the shimmering waters and bobbing fisherman’s boats of Salcombe.

A pebble’s throw from the delightful harbour sits Merchants House. With four bedrooms, landscaped gardens and three luxurious bathrooms, the property is beautiful with every detail considered. Think plush textiles, outside eating spots nestled amongst the flowers and a state-of-the-art kitchen.

Then add to that, ideal plans. Enjoy a Salcombe Gin hamper and Gin School lesson. You’ll learn the art of distilling and in pairs, craft your own recipe from the finest botanicals. Hop on a four-hour rib ride around the Salcombe Estuary on a captained boat, taking in the sparkling coves. Plus, dress up to dine with a meal cooked by a local chef.
