The property was central in the town in walking distance to all amenities with stunning views over the estuary.
All rooms were clean and well maintained with a well appointed kitchen although we ate out all the time.
Would definitely book again recommend to others.
We really do love it here, the location is so good, and it has the most amazing views. Now we have 4 teenagers it's a bit more of a squeeze but it actually still works so well for us.
We loved the location and the views from the house are outstanding. Everything is clean and tidy with great communication from the hosts. The description is very accurate. Some reviews had worried me about the driveway but itâs very straightforward, just takes some extra care as you turn in.
A very good option for staying in central Salcombe with the added unusual bonus of being detached with off street parking. Ideal base for eating out and exploring the coast. Stayed as group of four adults for four nights.
Lovely house in a fantastic location with the best view in Salcombe! We had a lovely long Easter weekend in the sun. The house was very comfortable and well equipped.
The house is a lovely property consisting of all mod cons. It is in a spectacular location with breath taking views. It is very convenient for all shops, bars/restaurants and the ferry. Any person staying there would have no hesitation in staying there again.
This was our first visit to Orchid House, although we have stayed in Salcombe many times. The house has an amazing position overlooking the estuary, and we enjoyed the ever changing views, and the outside patio was always sheltered from the wind. We stayed as a couple and it was very comfortable for us, we would happily stay there again. Thank you for a great holiday!
We stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024, and would have happily stayed another 3 weeks. The property has parking that we were well directed to, on the check-in instructions, and is close enough to everything, without being âtooâ in the thick of it. The view from the sitting room is unrivaled, and where we spent most of our time. If I had any complaints, it would be that the TV is fussy, and there was no dish towel in the kitchen. Both small things that didnât really impact our stay. We would happily stay at Orchid House again, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Perfect location with a stunning view. 3 good size bathrooms. Fully equipped kitchen. 4eally good communication with owners. Our baby girl loved it. Would 1000% stay again!
The views from the lounge & main bedroom make this property unique and it is in the best location, just a few minutes to the ferry, main street with shops & eating places, as well as the Harbour Hotel which is worth a visit for lunch or dinner. Property is comfortable & well maintained & owner (Heather) is great to deal with , always helpful, quick replies & return of deposit. Highly recommend - we have been twice already this year and will definitely go again. We discovered the Kingsbridge ferry for the first time in 20+ years what an absolute gem & itâs very under utilised, but itâs a lovely scenic trip down the estuary to Kingsbridge.
The Orchid house has been family owned for nearly thirty years and our friends and family continue to enjoy its great location, for its easy access into town, for the beautiful views and for experiencing all that Salcombe and the surrounding area has to offer. We hope you do too!
Salcombe is a captivating harbour town surrounded by a scenically beautiful coastline and unspoilt countryside. Whether you are planning a short break, a family holiday, new to the area or come back time and again, whether you are a sailor, walker, beach-lover, the Orchid House is perfectly situated to enjoy the area's distinct charm, attractions and many activities.
The Orchid House is only minutes walk from the town centre, shops, restaurants and the passenger ferries to East Portlemouth. The sunny interior is fully equipped and its main attraction is the stunning panoramic views of the estuary. A sun terrace offers an outside seating and dining area. There is private off street parking and free WiFi.
