The Saltings - Waterside Tranquillity

Welcome to The Saltings; a tranquil, waterside paradise in which to unwind and relax. This site is steeped in history and listed in the Domesday Book. The cottage offers comfortable and well-equipped accommodation, overlooking a wildlife-rich, tidal water meadow. With outdoor seating areas and stunning walks along the creek, there is much to enjoy! The accommodation consists of a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, with a cosy sofa and internet-TV. There is a lovely shower and an upstairs double bedroom with wonderful views across the meadow. Babies are welcome and a travel cot is available. Guests have access to the hectare of meadow, 200m of riverbank, with great wild swimming spots and an outdoor willow shower. There is a dock for launching kayaks as well as a concrete slipway for larger boats. This location is perfect for exploring the beautiful river Dart. After a day of rest or adventure, why not stroll to one of the two nearby waterside pubs? Just cross the stepping stones (at low tide) or the nearby humped-back bridge (at high tide) and take your pick! Alternatively, walk (10 minutes) to the village of Ashprington for a memorable meal in the 18th Century Durant Arms. The Saltings is just two miles outside the interesting and quirky town of Totnes, where there is a weekly market, a medieval castle and many independent shops, restaurants and cafes.

Alternatively, follow the picturesque cycle and footpath alongside the river Dart, all the way to Totnes.
