Merchants House has undergone an 18th month renovation and is now luxury holiday home with a beautifully landscaped garden in the Heart of Salcombe. The property was designed to be a luxury home from home, with all the amenities you enjoy without the need to compromise. The property is located in the Victorian Quarter of Devon Road, and is only a 3-4 minute walk to the shops and restaurants of Fore St.
I have been coming to Salcombe since I was a young child and very fond memories of the place. Having the chance to host others coming to the area is a privilege and I truly hope we help all of our guests enjoy the area as much as my family does. As interior designer I have tried to bring together some of the skills I have learnt to design a fresh, modern flat that has a respectful link to the seaside.
Salcombe is famous for it's sailing and beautiful sandy beaches, but in truth it has so much more to offer. There is the national truth house at Overbecks, beautiful country walks as well as fabulous restaurants and bars to enjoy. My children, will tell you that no trip to Salcombe is complete without a visit to Cranch's Sweet Shop on Fore St. It is tradition they say!
