Tucked into the quiet green fold of a tranquil Devon valley forming part of the Salcombe estuary, rests Smugglers, a quaint grade two listed, 18th century traditional Devon stone cottage. Locations don't come much more enviable than this, perched at the head of the Batson creek, think postcard-ready dog friendly fisherman's cottage set right beside the water.

Smugglers Overview

From the undeniably impressive and colourful interior design, to its position in idyllic Batson, Smugglers is a true original in our diverse portfolio of luxury holiday homes in Salcombe.

The Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage is situated at the head of the Batson Creek which forms part of the Salcombe estuary. It is stacked full of incredible features and has the most wonderful character. From reclaimed rudders and up-cycled ropes, to exposed beams and twinkly lights, this is a joyful Salcombe holiday home.

The sunny terrace in front of the cottage captures the sun for most of the day and is the perfect place for a cup of tea in the morning or an evening gin and tonic. The stable doors at the front of the cottage lead into the small but well-equipped kitchen and dining area. You can fit nine around the table, but elbows need to be politely tucked in! Look out for the lobster fairy lights around the sideboard…

Up a couple of steps you’ll find a good sized sitting room with wood burner. There are plenty of colourful features and gorgeous lamps to give a great feel to this room. Board games are stored in the cupboards for evening entertainment (or for a rainy day; we have to admit these happen from time to time!)

Upstairs to the first floor landing (which which is wallpapered with real charts) there are three bedrooms; two super kings and one twin. Each bedroom has beautiful tones, fabrics, light fittings and eclectic trinkets. There are two bathrooms for the house, one being a shower room with hanging mackerel light fittings, and the second a bath with overhead shower.

Going up into the loft area there is the perfect zone for children. A snug area complete with sofa, television and twinkly lights gives youngsters an escape from the adults and their own space to have fun. Up a few steps from the snug there are three single beds.

Up the road from the cottage is a separate garden to enjoy plus a table and chairs for outdoor dining. There is also an outbuilding where the washing machine and tumble dryer can be found.

When you arrive, a welcome gift of organic tea, Smugglers own blend of ground coffee and a bottle of wine will be waiting for you!

Please note: the outside garden areas are unsuitable for unsupervised young children as there is a small stream at the bottom of the garden.

Two dogs very welcome at Smugglers. Please note there is an extra cost for bringing along your four legged friend. Dogs will love snoozing by the fire and the sensational coastal walks from the front door!

No smoking allowed inside.

If you love the look of Smugglers but can't quite fill all of the bedrooms, there is a reduced occupancy version of the house sleeping up to 6 guests in 3 bedrooms called The Lost Lobster.

Beautifully decorated cottage. Very peaceful and a lovely walk into Salcombe. Very helpful just for when we arrived late and could not access code on phone. Great artwork. Lovely snug for the children. Overall a very cosy cottage with great attention to detail from the owners and a super special place to stay.

My husband and I agreed that Smugglers is, by a long margin, the best and highest quality holiday rental we have ever been to. The owners have created the most incredibly charming and comfortable home from home.

We had the most wonderful time at smugglers our 3rd time there. Everything was just as brilliant, we absolutely love it, even though weather wasn’t brilliant!. We would give it definitely 5 star rating and more, it’s a lovely position and the cottage is so gorgeous. Finest Stays are a good team, felt always on hand if any problems.

We’ve stayed there so often now I’ve honestly run out of words to describe how perfect Smugglers is. To have all the fun of Salcombe a ten minute walk along the creek, combined with the peace and quiet of Lower Batson is about as good as it gets. The garden is such an oasis as well on a hot day and the little stream the perfect place to cool your toes/paws.

We love Smugglers; what a beautiful cottage. It has everything we love about a place and is in such a beautiful position, so peaceful yet so close to the bustling Salcombe. Perfect in every way.
