Salcombe Harbour Hotel

Perched on the edge of the Salcombe Estuary, with views out to sea, our hotel has a fabulous seafood restaurant, buzzy bar, rooftop terrace looking out onto the water, and a luxury spa with pool-side cabanas. It’s no wonder The Times named the hotel one of the coolest places to stay.

Consistently winning awards as one of the best seaside hotels in the UK, this spa hotel, with an unrivalled position on the water’s edge of Salcombe’s tranquil estuary, is a postcard-perfect seaside getaway. Salcombe Estuary and the harbour have been named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

For foodies, the hotel’s excellent in-house restaurant is a casual, all-day seafood bar and grill, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner – and an ever-popular afternoon tea – in the restaurant and lounge or outside on the terrace, all with estuary views. Dishes showcase the region’s finest flavours, using local produce and seasonal ingredients.

For health and wellness seekers, the hotel’s spa has five treatment rooms, a heated indoor pool, a hot tub, sauna and fitness area. The spa has partnered with Temple Spa to offer their top-of-the-range treatments and products as well as developing their very own HarSPA treatment range. There is also a compact gym for those wanting a more energetic experience.

For those wanting to get out and about, there are local beaches, numerous great coastal walks and the quaint, boutique-filled streets of Salcombe town close by. The hotel has a map of the best local walks and beaches, and can provide, on request, a sumptuous picnic and complimentary bikes to take with you. The hotel can also arrange a wide selection of water-based activities on the estuary.

A short ferry ride across the estuary will take you to the popular market town of Kingsbridge. For those wanting to go further afield, the landscapes of Dartmoor National Park are just 30 mins away.

SALCOMBE’S BEST WALKS
There’s nothing like a nice walk to get some fresh air, to see the local sights and scenery, to feel good about yourself afterwards, and to reduce your guilt when tucking into a Harbour Hotels afternoon cream tea.

Ask our reception team for a printed map showing the locations and descriptions of our favourite walks in the Salcombe area. On request, we can pack you a luxury picnic in an easy-to-carry backpack to eat along the way.

SALCOMBE’S BEST BEACHES
For those craving a day at the beach, Salcombe has a number of fine sandy beaches close by. We’ve created a PDF with the locations and descriptions of our favourite beaches in the local area. Ask our reception team to print one off for you.

We can lend you Harbour Hotels ‘Little luxuries’ for the beach: blankets, windbreaks, fold-up seats, kites to fly, and, of course, buckets and spades. On request, we’ll also pack you a luxury Harbour Hotels picnic to eat on the beach.

SAILING
Sometimes panoramic sea views are just not enough – you need to get out on the water itself. So why not spend head out on your own private yacht to sail around this beautiful stretch of Devon coastline?

You can of course just enjoy a sail, but take our recommendation and head to Dittisham, a wonderful spot for lunch at the top of the River Dart (approx. 4 hours sail from Salcombe).

Or for shorter trips, head to Elender Cove, a favoured cove to drop the anchor and tuck into an onboard picnic – this Cove is approximately half an hour sail from Salcombe. Ask Neil, your skipper, for recommendations based on the time you have available.

Food and drinks are not provided, but on request, we’ll pack you a Harbour Hotels luxury picnic to take with you – either a full size in a picnic basket or a half-size in a backpack.

A LESSON IN MAKING GIN
Learn the art of gin distilling – an authentic, local Devon tradition – at the excellent Salcombe Distillery & Gin School a 10-minute walk from the hotel. During your ‘gin lesson’, you’ll get to make your very own personalised bottle of 70cl gin in the laboratory, whilst learning about the traditional techniques.

At the end of the lesson, you’ll head to the distillery bar to sample your new gin with tonics and garnishes, whilst enjoying the view. If you don’t want to do the lesson, you can instead sign up for a tutored talk, tasting, and tour of the production facilities.

Especially for our foodie guests who want to sample the best food & drink the Salcombe and Devon region has to offer, we’ve put together a tasting tour.
