Placed in trust in 1921, Cliff House has been part of Salcombe life for generations. Today it brings together gracious rooms, generous terraces and a setting that feels unmistakably of the town.

Proud to play our part in Salcombe’s day of remembrance
It was an honour to welcome Salcombe’s community to Cliff House for the Town Council’s Civic Reception on Remembrance Sunday, 8 November.
Following the parade from Whitestrand and the service at the War Memorial, our Assembly Hall provided a place to gather, reflect and recognise the people who give so much to our town. Residents, community organisations and the ship’s company of HMS Magpie came together in a spirit of remembrance and gratitude.
During the reception, Pam Bennett was presented with Salcombe’s Citizen of the Year award in recognition of her exceptional service to the community. We offer Pam our warmest congratulations. Updates from the RNLI and Royal British Legion also recognised their continuing work and dedication.
Our thanks go to Salcombe Town Council, everyone who helped organise the day, and all those who attended. Cliff House is proud to play its part in bringing our community together, especially on an occasion of such meaning.
We will remember them.

YEEHAW… WHAT AN AFTERNOON!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Cliff House for Salcombe Live and our sell out line dancing session with the fabulous Danni!
The room was buzzing, the boots were moving and the smiles said it all. Such a brilliant atmosphere and exactly what Cliff House is all about bringing Salcombe and everyone who loves Salcombe together, having fun and supporting our community.
And because you all loved it so much…
Keep your eyes peeled!
We’re hoping to bring fortnightly line dancing classes to Cliff House with Cliff House Friends, raising much needed funds while getting everyone together for a good old country afternoon!
So dust off those boots… we may just be doing it all again very soon!

Rediscovering Cliff House: a wonderful first event
Cliff House Friends celebrated a wonderfully encouraging start on 12 July, as Rediscovering Cliff House brought local people and visitors together for a relaxed afternoon at Cliff House.
With sunshine over the estuary, guests made the most of the rooms and waterfront terrace while enjoying live music, children’s entertainment, Wimbledon on the big screen, refreshments and drinks. It was a lively, welcoming occasion, with plenty of time to meet friends old and new.
The afternoon was created to help people rediscover Cliff House, its place in Salcombe’s heritage and the role it can continue to play at the heart of community life. The warmth and enthusiasm around the building made this first Friends event feel like a very promising beginning.
The event also marked the launch of the Cliff House Trust 200 Club, a monthly draw that gives supporters a simple way to help care for Cliff House while sharing in the prize fund.
Cliff House Friends would like to thank everyone who came along, performed, volunteered and helped make the day possible. It was a fitting first chapter, and we look forward to welcoming the community back to Cliff House again.
