We'd like to stay in the South Hams in August, pref around the Salcombe area.
We stayed there in 2006 and loved it but were further up towards Loddiswell.
I am wondering whether it's better to stay in Salcombe and get the ferry over to the beaches at Mill Bay/East Portlemouth or to stay in the village of East Portlemouth itself?
We will have a child aged 4 and an 8 week old baby. Would like to use the beaches most days (weather permitting) but would also like to get over to Thurlstone/Bantham and perhaps to eat out in Salcombe in the evening.
I was thinking there might be a pub in East Portlemouth but can't find information.
I know East Portlemouth is on a hill. Was thinking DH could drive the car down there early in the morning with all the beach gear and get a parking spot then we could trundle down with the baby in a sling.
Or would we be better in Salcombe??!!
Does anyone know the area??
