Waterside Cottage Adjacent to Frogmore Creek, Part Of The Salcombe Estuary

Forget-me-not-cottage is a charming cottage set right on the side of Frogmore Creek. The long enclosed south facing cottage garden backs onto the Creek giving beautiful views of the Estuary and its abundant wildlife and rolling hillside beyond. The Summerhouse, overlooking the Creek, is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Frogmore is situated on the East side of the Salcombe/Kingsbridge Estuary, close to the fabulous golden beaches of Salcombe and East Portlemouth and just a five-minute drive from the pretty waterside town of Kingsbridge with its many shops, pubs and restaurants. Historic Dartmouth is just a short drive in the opposite direction, along what must be one of the most spectacular coastal routes in the country. Frogmore has its own bakery, which sells freshly baked bread and croissants! It also has a post office and dining pub all just a couple of minutes walk from the cottage door.

The COTTAGE is very well presented, stylishly furnished and well equipped, particularly for young families.

KITCHEN/DINING ROOM/SITTING ROOM/SUMMER HOUSE

Luxury fitted cottage KITCHEN with solid wood worktops. The smart appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, oven and hob. The DINING AREA has a large table and four high backed chairs. The very comfortable bright south facing SITTING ROOM has a wood burner, two double sofas, flat screen TV, Blu-Ray DVD, coffee table (trunk) and of course BT Wireless Broadband. Double French windows open to a large sun drenched courtyard with pretty painted trellis, antique bench, table, chairs, parasol and BBQ. A walk down the lovely garden, stocked with beautiful flowers, takes you to the SUMMER HOUSE with fabulous south facing views across Frogmore Creek. Furnished in a smart beach house style, easily doubling as a second sitting room with two sofas and two easy chairs able to accommodate eight people. The Summer House opens onto a large deck area, equipped with table and chairs and parasol, which certainly give you one of the best ways to fully appreciate the beauty of Frogmore Creek.
This is fabulous place to relax, have lunch/dinner and an early evening sundowner where you can watch the local fishermen going about their business or watch the children playing, crabbing or kayaking in the creek (please contact the owner if you would like to use their kayaks which are kept at the bottom of the garden - one of the best ways to fully appreciate the Creek). Steps take you down to the Creek and part way down is a bench also ideal for “Creek watching”.
An added bonus is that this is also a great place to chill out in the winter with an oil radiator heater. Full electrics with lamps and tallboy drawers fully stocked with games and puzzles and many books for all ages.

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOM

The spacious MASTER BEDROOM takes advantage of the lovely Creek view and has a luxury king-sized bed, a bedside cabinet a large chest of drawers plus plenty of hanging space. The BATHROOM has a bath, shower, W.C. and wash hand basin. Here too you have views of the Creek. The SECOND BEDOOM has twin single sleigh beds with matching bedside chest of drawers. A built in wardrobe is just outside this bedroom on the landing. N.B Duvets, pillows, linen and towels (excluding beach towels) are included.

Great location for exploring the local area. Loved having the creek at the bottom of the garden, good for kayaking & paddle boarding if you get the tide right.

Lovely weeks stay
Lovely cottage in a great location. The summer house at the end of the garden is a great place to sit with a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine looking at the views. Ideally located for long or short walks and many tourist places with 45 mins. Local pub over the road offers great food for an easy evening out. Would recommend to a couple or small family for a lovely week.

Good location for exploring the beautiful Devon coast
Cosy and comfy cottage with nice views of the creek from the lovely garden. Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. Summer house good with books and games for the kids. Didn't get the tides so didn't manage to use the kayaks unfortunately. Great location for visiting Dartmouth, Salcombe and surrounding areas. Fantastic beaches and coastal walks nearby. I didn't do my research properly and the road was much busier and noisier than expected but this didn't spoil the stay. Good communication from the owners.

Lovely and cosy cottage with a summer house!
It was a lovely cottage, and exceeded my expectation, definitely recommend it. The scones were a lovely surprise when we first arrived! Will definitely return in summer to make the most of the view of the garden and river.

Fantastic location
Cosy cottage with direct access to Frogmore Creek. Great for kayaking and beautiful walks. The property benefits from a large summerhouse overlooking the creek - a place to while away the hours. Overall a most relaxing holiday destination.

Peaceful holiday
Great place to stay, extremely well furnished, very comfortable beds! All amenities fine apart from only 1 loo which was in the bathroom. Real added bonus having the lovely garden room, so peaceful overlooking the Creek. Surrounding area has a lot to offer with variety of beaches within easy reach and great pubs offering superb food.

Summer Break
We had a fantastic time at Forget Me Not cottage, what a find! The cottage Itself is lovely with attractive furnishings, comfortable beds, high quality bedlinen and a beautiful view of the creek from the main bedroom. However it was the summerhouse which really made our holiday as this is where we spent most of of our time. The position overlooking the creek is magical, so peaceful with such lovely views. We watched the children kayaking from the deck in the evening while we sipped a glass of wine and prepared a BBQ, bliss! Later we put the lamps on inside making it really cosy and played board games, great family time! Another bonus was the fact that the cottage had parking which can so often be a problem in so many seaside towns. For a family of 4 it was the perfect getaway mainly because of the different areas it had to offer; the cottage itself, the garden, the summer-house and of course access to the creek ( and kayaks!) we will definitely be returning!

A great place for BBQs and daydreaming
We really enjoyed our week at Forget Me Not Cottage in July. We chose the cottage mainly due to the garden which leads down to Frogmore Creek. There’s a Summer house at the end of the garden where we spent most of our time watching the wildlife and having BBQs. We used the kayaks and also went paddle boarding too. Great fun! The cottage itself is small but worked brilliantly for us. As mentioned in other reviews, the cottage could do with a bit of maintenance. The bathroom is a bit tired and in the kitchen the dishwasher is very wobbly needs fixing into the unit. All to be expected from a popular holiday cottage but it would be nice to have fixed. The cleaners did a great job and everything was spick-and-span. The house is located on a busy road, but this didn’t affect us because the main bedroom in on the back of the house. Parking is tight but we parked our SUV with a bit of room to spare. Overall, we really enjoyed our holiday and would return.
