We don't collect a damage deposit, but please let me know if anything gets broken or damaged.
The deposit is non-refundable, unless I can re-sell the holiday (I will try my very best to do so).
We appreciate that you may wish to have guests staying or visiting you during your stay. However, please be mindful that we are only insured for 5 people, 1 infant and 2 dogs.
Once the holiday has been paid for in full, I will send you the code to the key safe (found next to the front door).
It depends on whether you book through Travel Chapter or direct with ourselves.
If booked directly, we require a deposit of £100
The rest of the balance has to be paid a month prior to the holiday.
As you can see from the virtual tour, we have two flights of stairs. Salty's Cottage is also situated on the historical Temperance Steps. They are both beautiful and plentiful! However, you'll find a handrail for the majority of the way, and the steps are reasonably manageable due to them being quite deep.
We are very lucky to have very regular bus links, and also a ferry in the spring/summer. To get to Brixham via public transport, we recommend a train to Paignton, then catch the number 12 bus to Brixham. Salty's Cottage is just a 5 minute walk away from the bus station. However, please remember that the cottage is situated on the steps.
You will find our fire risk assessment on the notice board next to the dining table. Please insure that the front door is locked via the Yale lock for a safe and quick exit. Please close all interior doors at night for your safety. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
We strongly recommend guests take out a travel insurance policy which includes Cancellation and Curtailment Protection Insurance. These are available at very affordable rates and give you peace of mind that you will get your money back if you need to cancel your holiday.
Due to the proximity of our neighbours, there must be no smoking or vaping anywhere on the premises, inside or out.
Salty's Cottage has 2 original fireplaces in both bedrooms, however they are only installed for ornamental purposes.
Guests are very welcome to use the log-burner in the lounge, however, due to our insurance cover, we are not permitted to provide matches or wood. You are extremely welcome to bring your own though.
WiFi and Sky are free for our guests to use in Salty's Cottage. You will find the code in the welcome pack when you arrive. You will also be able to watch Netflix, Youtube etc, but please remember your login details.
We provide bedding, towels, basic cleaning products and tea, coffee, sugar & milk for your arrival.
We very much welcome children to our cottage. We have two cots (we don't provide bedding), a high chair, a stair gate, cutlery, books, DVDs & board games for their entertainment. Your children will absolutely love the top bedroom with a huge Smart TV!
YES! Our guests are lucky enough to have access to a FREE parking spot throughout their stay with us. It's a 30 second walk away, and is situated in a carpark (with a row of garages) on Mount Pleasant Road.
Drive into the carpark, and our space is on the far right (you'll see a 'Salty's Cottage' sign on the wall).
The beauty of Salty's location is that there's no need to move your car throughout your holiday. The public transport is very good value, and also dog-friendly. The bus station and ferry port are only a 5 minute walk away. The numerous beaches & coves are also only a short walk away.
Brixham Harbour is only a 2 minute walk away - once you've got to the bottom of the steps, you're literally there!

We are always happy to welcome up to 2 well-behaved dogs. Brixham is quite possibly the most dog-friendly town in the UK - the majority of pubs, bars, restaurants, shops and public transport are dog-friendly. You'll regularly find water bowls and dog treats in and around Brixham!
