Approached by a flight of steps from the parking area you will find the large sun terrace with outdoor dining area, gas barbecue, wooden bench and chiminea. This terrace is absolutely drenched in sunshine and is simply divine for enjoying your breakfast in the morning or an al fresco meal in the evening. Keep warm in the evenings by firing up the chiminea and keep the children entertained by roasting some marshmallows. Paddleboarding, sailing, kayaking and swimming are all favourite Salcombe past-times - stay at Watch Hill and be just 5 minutes from all the action and best beaches, but at the same time, you can enjoy the perfect peace and quiet away from noise and the hustle and bustle.
The wide hallway leads to the open plan kitchen, dining, and seating area. The views from here are magical and the French windows lead out onto the terrace with its panoramic glittering sea views. The kitchen is jam-packed with all of those little things that are just so handy. Of course, the American style fridge-freezer with ice maker is a must have when feeding a large and hungry crowd, and the all important Nespresso machine is ready for a busy morning's service!
Separate from this open plan area is a living room and second dining area (perfect for children.) Keep going, and you will discover the first bedroom, with a single bed and bunk beds.

We had an excellent stay at Watch Hill. The house itself was amazing. So spacious, well appointed, had everything you need for self catering. The best part was the glorious view over the estuary. Finest Stays were helpful and responsive. The location was excellent. Only a few minute stroll down into the village. All in all an excellent stay - would highly recommend.

We had a great time again at Watch Hill, it’s perfect for our annual trip and the group were all happy with bedrooms and the kitchen and living spaces. The views make it such a special place and the facilities in the house are all really good. We had everything we needed. We will definitely be booking again for next year. 5/5
