Breakfast

There is no better way to begin the day in Salcombe than with breakfast on our sunrise terrace. The golden light spills across the estuary and the sea breeze pairs perfectly with your morning coffee. Fuel up for a coastal walk or ease into a slow Salcombe morning. And for those early risers there is nothing more rewarding than a hearty breakfast after a morning sea swim.

  Wonderful Hidden Gem…. Great food, service and reasonably priced. Worth Every Penny.

Lovely place for an evening meal. The Seagrass Restaurant has a warm inviting atmosphere, the staff are friendly and welcoming. The service was great, the menu varied and reasonable priced. Immaculately clean and dog friendly. I would highly recommend

TripAdvisor review
  A wonderful location for views of South Sands and estuary at Salcombe.

The food arrived and was pleasantly surprised by our starter’s - Lobster & Crab Bisque, served with sourdough bread. My wife had calamari with spicy sauce.

  Very good down to earth cuisine

I can't believe how excellent the down-to-earth cuisine is here. Although it was a few months ago that I visited, I still think about this wonderful lunch: a very special combination of mackerel with salad and sprouts. It was one of the best dishes, if not the best during my trip to England.

  Quality food in quality surroundings

This is a lovely place to eat. It's not just about the view, which is wonderful because the hotel is on the beach side of the road, looking directly out onto the sea, and if you sit outside you get pretty much the full seaside experience. The restaurant itself has a warm and homely feel, managing to combine casual and posh at the same time, probably because it allows dogs (who are all really well behaved) and because the food is of such high quality. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, the specials are excellent - it is always our first choice of places to go (despite not being cheap) whenever we visit the area. Definitely recommended!
