Mr & MRS Smith Salcombe Harbour Hotel

Harbour Hotel Salcombe – A Truly Exceptional Stay From the moment we arrived at the Harbour Hotel in Salcombe, we were blown away by the warm welcome, the stunning views, and the overall quality of everything this beautiful hotel has to offer. The staff are genuinely some of the friendliest and most helpful people I’ve encountered in any hotel. Nothing is too much trouble – whether it’s the reception team who greet you with a smile, the restaurant staff who go above and beyond to make every meal a memorable experience, or the spa team who are calm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. One standout mention has to go to the free shuttle bus into Salcombe town. This is such a thoughtful touch, especially for guests who want to explore without the stress of parking. The driver is an absolute gentleman – so friendly, polite, and full of local knowledge. It’s such a relaxing way to get into the town and back. The rooms themselves are beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and full of character, with little touches that make all the difference – from the luxurious bedding to the high-end toiletries and the balcony views across the estuary. You wake up and go to bed with a smile just from being in such a peaceful, picturesque setting. The facilities are top-tier. The spa and hot tub area is an absolute haven – peaceful, clean, and very well maintained. It’s a great way to unwind after a day of walking or enjoying the beach. There’s also a great gym and chill-out spaces around the hotel if you just want to relax with a drink or a book. The food is exceptional. From breakfast to dinner, every dish was fresh, well-presented, and absolutely delicious. Whether you’re having seafood with a sea view or a hearty breakfast before exploring the coast, you’re in for a real treat. The service in the restaurant was flawless every time. Another huge bonus is the location – the beach is literally just across the road. You can hear the waves from your room, and getting to the sand takes less than a minute. It’s perfect for morning walks, sunbathing, or just soaking in the beautiful Salcombe surroundings. Considering all of this, the value for money is incredible. You get the feeling of a luxury retreat with all the little extras – spa access, shuttle service, high-end dining – without the inflated prices you might expect elsewhere. All in all, the Harbour Hotel Salcombe is a complete gem. Whether you’re there for a romantic break, a spa weekend, or just a peaceful getaway by the sea, this hotel delivers on every front. We’ll definitely be returning – it’s one of those rare places that truly leaves a lasting impression.

Very small room . No air con . Seemed a bit grubby . Carpets around hotel were grubby too . Outside seating area was dirty with full ashtrays on tables. Breakfast was very good . Lots of choice . Steps to road outside the entrance needed sweeping . Very efficient parking system . Disappointing as just visited similar hotel in Southampton where our room was amazing .
