Devon: romantic 2-night boat getaway by the sea

Pirates, we've found this truly unique couples retreat in Devon where you can stay aboard the "Oyster", a boat permanently moored in a tranquil spot on the Salcombe Estuary in South Devon. You'll wake up with birdsong and the sound of water surrounding you.

With staycations in the UK booking up quickly, this break is great, because there are a lot of dates available right now from April all the way through September 2022. Even bank holiday dates are still free, and weekends cost the same as mid-week dates.

Prices for two nights start at £293* for a 2-night stay.

Details

Oyster is moored not far from the picturesque village of East Portlemouth. Coast Magazine counts this mini break as one of ten romantic stays by the sea. "Perfect for couples who crave a close connection with the sea but don’t have the know-how to sail."

This boat stay is for adventure lovers. There's no heating on board, so bring warm clothes! There are shower and toilet facilities on land and an emergency loo on board.

Inside you’ll find a fold-down double bed, a basic galley kitchen and a ship’s library.

There are beaches and a ferry boat nearby with access to the coastal town of Salcombe.
