What Our Guests Say

A beautiful, cosy escape in sunny Salcombe. It has been decorated beautifully and to a very high standard. It had everything you could need for a relaxing break. We really enjoyed the lovely garden with seating area.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. Despite being quite central and near the handy Co-op shop, it was very quiet and we slept very well.

Ginn Cottage itself was so lovely, with beachy and dreamy decor. Super clean. The garden was a great spot to relax. Did not want to leave. We miss it already!

Ginn Cottage was cute, cosy and gorgeous. Only minutes from the centre of Salcombe and all its beautiful scenery. Check-in was easy and communication was great — and I must not forget to mention how amazingly comfy the bed was!

We loved our stay here — fab location for spending a few days in Salcombe. Really near to a few great restaurants and easy to walk into the main part of the town. We had everything we needed to enjoy our long weekend.

Does Ginn Cottage have parking?

In high season, Shadycombe Car Park is short-stay during the daytime, so for longer stays we recommend using Bonfire Hill long-stay car park at the top of Salcombe. Multi-day parking is available for up to seven days, and the seasonal Park & Ride runs between Bonfire Hill and Shadycombe Road during peak periods.

Creek Car Park is another option and offers longer-stay parking, including 24-hour parking during the high season.

Parking arrangements and charges can change, so we recommend checking the current local parking information before travelling.
