Hi, I am Clare, founder of Quay Holiday Lettings.
My path here started long before Salcombe. I spent years in luxury travel and corporate hospitality, including time working on board yachts, followed by 12 years recruiting for superyachts and private residences, placing captains, Michelin-starred chefs, and household staff for some of the most exacting clients in the industry. That is where I learned what genuine five-star service looks like, down to the smallest detail.
In 2016, I brought that experience home, starting with my own holiday let, then taking on a large four-bedroom luxury property from 2021. What began as one property grew into Quay Holiday Lettings.

A personal, local approach
I spent almost a decade living and working in the South of France, honing my eye for detail, service and that effortless “je ne sais quoi” that turns a nice stay into a truly memorable holiday.
Today, I’m firmly rooted in the South Hams. I call Salcombe home, and there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.
From the golden sands at North Sands to hidden coves only the locals know, I share all my favourite spots—whether it’s the best café for your morning coffee, a sunset picnic on Sunny Cove or the cosiest pub after a day on the water.
With insider knowledge and local connections, your guests will feel like true Salcombe locals.
Care beyond the basics
Every owner and every guest deserves care that goes beyond the basics. From your first enquiry to your guests’ departure, I handle the details—from pre-arrival communication and property preparation to guest support and post-visit follow-up—so bookings run smoothly and every property is genuinely well looked after.
Whether you’re an owner looking to maximise your investment or a guest after an unforgettable escape, you’ll receive hands-on attention at every stage. That’s the Quay Holiday Lettings difference.
