We had a superb 2 night stay last week at the Harbour Hotel, Salcombe. Wonderful location, great room with a wonderful view over the estuary and most importantly wonderful staff - really helpful and thoughtful without being obsequious which made our stay really special. We had two great breakfasts and an excellent meal in the restaurant (grilled fish of the day chalk and cheese to supermarket fish). The valet parking in the hotel's car park worked perfectly and the gentleman who we saw first also charged our EV overnight. One of the very few hotels I have stayed in that I would unequivocally recommend. Photos attached are taken from breakfast table (first pic) and the room's balcony.
