New on the UK scene are luxury holiday homes in Salcombe, Devon with the service matching that of a chalet holiday in the Alps. Salcombe Finest are raising the bar with their Salcombe Luxe service levels - think Bollinger on arrival, concierge crew, a fleet of boats (including 80ft luxury power yacht) and some cool touches.

Children will have their own brand new crabbing line, bucket and spade sitting on their bed on arrival (with a note saying that the bacon for bait is in the fridge). Teens will find Jack Wills sunglasses. And parents can enjoy the magnums of rosé alongside lots of delicious treats such as parma ham, local cheeses and fresh fruits.

Please get in touch should you wish to experience a wonderful Salcombe holiday. Short stays outside school holidays are welcomed.
