Hi, I’m Clare, the founder of Quay Holiday Lettings.
Since 2016 I’ve been entrusted with managing holiday properties in Salcombe and beyond, and I bring over a decade of experience in luxury travel, corporate hospitality, and more than 12 years of recruitment for luxury yachts and private residences. I know what it takes to make a stay feel exceptional.
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.
Our mission is to deliver exceptional holiday experiences for guests while helping property owners maximize the value of their investments. We provide reliable management, seamless booking, and hands-on care so every stay is effortless and every property is protected, profitable, and professionally represented.
Our vision is to become a trusted leader in holiday lettings known for quality properties, dependable service, and long-term relationships. We aim to set the standard for how holiday homes should be managed — with transparency, efficiency, 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.

I grew up wandering the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, and today I’m firmly rooted in the South Hams. I still head back north once a month leaning on a trusted local support network while calling Salcombe home.
It’s this blend of woodland know-how and seaside savvy that lets me give bespoke, boots-on-the-ground service whether your property sits under the trees or beside the estuary.
Every owner and every guest deserves personalised care, and that’s exactly what I deliver: from the moment you enquire to the moment your guests depart, I’m here to ensure smooth bookings, happy visitors and a well-looked-after property. Let’s make your holiday letting experience as seamless and rewarding as possible.
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’ll 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 my insider knowledge, and local connections your guests will feel like true Salcombe locals.
I grew up exploring the ancient woodlands of the Forest of Dean, and I still head back there every month. I’ve mapped out the prettiest walking trails, tranquil wild-swimming holes, and stargazing clearings.
With my trusted network of local cleaners and support teams, I’ll ensure your Forest-side property delivers that magical Dean experience for every guest.
Real experiences from guests and property owners who trust Quaylets.
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!
