An excellent property for our family. Well suited to a mix of adults, teenagers and younger kids and wonderfully close to the beach. The equipment was outstanding. We had a great time
Mrs Heard May 2026
Beautiful house in a wonderful position. Everything you could possibly need for a special family holiday. Definitely book again if available.
Mrs Lowes July 2026
This property is ideal for families who just want a beach holiday, Only a few minutes walk to the beach which has lovely, clean sand. A slightly longer walk (at low tide) will take you across to Burgh Island with very good viewpoints. Waterboards and Kayaks are available for guests to use. It's a good idea to take a good supply of foodstuffs with you as the nearest shop is several miles away along narrow, winding country lanes....

This was our first whole family holiday for ten years and we returned to the beach we all grew to love when we lived in the area in the 90s, and revisited several times annually until 2015. Dolphin Cottage helped the trip live up to our high expectations, with comfortable communal rooms for 8 adults & a baby and plenty of personal spaces both in bedrooms and garden areas for people to enjoy peace & quiet. There was daily excitement as new memories grew from childhood recollections - drinks at the Pilchard Inn, meals at the unique Journey's End, dips in the sea after using the beach sauna, rides on the sea tractor; most of all, the chance to walk the shifting sands and enjoy the serene morning magic or the dramatic sunset glow. Superb attentive support from local staff when there was an unexpected event in the village. And easy access for couples to have daily adventures - Salcombe, Dartmoor Zoo, Theatre Royal, Yealmpton Woods, Paignton to name but a few - then share their tales in the evening. How joyous to be back. Sunshine, rain, sea mist. Waves, rockpools, seaweed. Flowers, snails, more snails. Laughter, smiles, JOY! ...
