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.
To deliver exceptional holiday experiences for guests while helping property owners get the most from their investment — with reliable management, seamless booking, and hands-on care, so every stay is effortless and every property is protected, profitable, and well represented.
To become a trusted name in South Hams holiday lettings, known for quality properties, dependable service, and long-term relationships built on transparency and genuine attention to detail.
We communicate openly and act honestly with every guest and property owner.
Every booking and property is handled with care, precision, and high standards.
We take full responsibility for the homes we manage and the stays we deliver.
Deep South Hams knowledge and local connections
We prioritise making every stay memorable
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.
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, property preparation, 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 get hands-on attention at every stage. That’s the Quay Holiday Lettings difference.
Real experiences from guests and property owners who trust Quay Holiday Lettings.
Clare has been a wonderful help setting up and guiding me with my little holiday let through Airbnb and on Booking.com. She is always timely with answering queries for both myself and my guests and is an on hand local font of knowledge. I can’t recommend her services highly enough. If you want a more personalised and local service for yourself, your let and your guests… Clare is your woman in Salcombe.
Clare has been my holiday let organising rock! She takes away the stress and is a mine of information. Having her handle that side of the business means I can focus fully on preparing and cleaning for my guests. She’s organised, helpful, polite, and always looking for ways to improve the reach of not just my business, but other local businesses too through the local business directory she also runs!
