Ferncliff HouseEast PortlemouthSelf catering holiday houseSouth Devon |
Ferncliff House is very special, a handsome spacious detached property, set in an acre of National Trust woodland and gardens and situated only 50 yards from Mill Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches on the East Portlemouth side of the Salcombe Estuary. A wonderful base for family holidays this exceptional property offers all the comforts for both a seaside and countryside holiday and is tucked away at the end of a secluded driveway with many rooms providing wonderful views over the beach and estuary.
There are glorious doorstep coastal and country paths through National Trust land and the valley has an abundance of mature trees that fringe the sands of Mill Bay. Salcombe, with its shops, quays, restaurants and pubs is easily reached by the East Portlemouth ferry, a ten minute walk from the house. In summer the estuary becomes a boat lovers haven, mixing luxury yachts, powerboats and racing dinghies. Seasonal activities include regattas, fishing, a water treasure hunt and even a sandcastle building competition. For large family groups this house is a must with its lovely gardens, general comfort, space and outstanding location.
