Welcome to the Crab Pot – a self catering beachfront holiday cottage in Salcombe, Devon!

The Crab Pot was originally a fisherman’s cottage built on South Sands beach around a lime kiln situated in the rocks. This lime kiln is now the kitchen.

South Sands is the most southerly bay within the Salcombe Estuary and later during the war part of the cottage became a pillbox looking out for enemy invasion. It has since been converted to a well designed two bedroomed cottage ideal for a family holiday.

The cottage sleeps five people.

It is approached down a public footpath which leads from the road above to the beach, or across the beach at low tide. With stunning views from the cottage, it’s also an ideal place to sit and watch the world go by or pop across to the boutique South Sands Hotel next door for a great dining experience.

“Close enough to hear the rumble of the waves underneath whilst you relax in the window seat.  The Crab Pot is an ideal getaway for family and couples looking to escape to the coast, it is as close to sleeping on the beach under the stars with home comforts as you can get.”
