Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in South Pool?
The best area to stay in South Pool is within the village itself, particularly close to the main waterfront.

South Pool village is quite small, centred around a tidal creek that feeds into the Salcombe Estuary. The main activity revolves around the water, with many properties offering direct access or views. There's a much-loved pub right by the water, acting as a social hub. The lanes are narrow and winding, giving it a secluded, rural feel.

Couples looking for a tranquil escape will find the village ideal. It's a superb spot for leisurely walks along the creek, enjoying the natural beauty, or simply relaxing by the water. The slower pace of life here is a key draw.

Families will also appreciate the village for its gentle pace and access to nature. Children can enjoy exploring the foreshore at low tide, and with the creek being relatively sheltered, it's suitable for kayaking or paddleboarding directly from many properties.
When is the best time to go to South Pool?
The best time to go to South Pool is during the late spring and summer months, from May to September, when the weather is generally warm and sunny, great for enjoying the outdoors.

During May and June, you'll find the countryside in full bloom and fewer crowds, making it ideal for peaceful walks along the South West Coast Path or exploring nearby towns like Salcombe and Dartmouth without feeling rushed. The longer daylight hours also mean more time to take in the stunning scenery of the South Hams.

July and August are the warmest months and are excellent for water-based activities. The estuary is bustling with boats, and the nearby beaches, such as those at East Portlemouth, are great for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the water. This period is particularly good for families looking to make the most of the school holidays and enjoy the lively option.

September offers a lovely balance of pleasant weather and fewer visitors as the school holidays end. The sea remains warm enough for swimming, and the walking trails are often quieter, providing a tranquil experience for couples or solo travellers seeking a relaxed getaway.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in South Pool.
How much is the nightly rate at a South Pool hotel?
Prices for hotels in South Pool often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
