  • Beach is a just over half hour walk along a footpath accessed from the property
  • Close to popular villages of East Prawle, Salcombe , Dartmouth or Kingsbridge
  • The perfect base to explore the South Hams and its many sandy beaches and easy access to Dartmoor

Property code: OC-FERN3

Set in the beautiful South Hams close to the stunning Dartmoor landscape and Lannacombe beach (2 miles), this apartment offers a relaxing stay to guests in the middle of the countryside. Situated on the second floor of a large country house, it benefits from characterful sloping ceilings and a calming neutral decor. Take a walk down to the shared garden through a gate and across a narrow road, soaking up the afternoon sun on the garden furniture looking out at the scenery.

Embrace your elevated position and take in the vistas from every window in the property, with some of the best views from the main bedroom across beautiful rolling hills. Unwind in the bright and airy open-plan living area with sloping ceilings, snuggled up with a good book or in front of the TV. Although the large window allows lots of light in, the room becomes a cosy haven in the evening with the curtains drawn and the lamps switched on. Retire to the double room or the twin room for a great night’s sleep, settled into the country way of life and ready for the next adventurous day.

The South Hams is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and it’s easy to see why, since it stretches out to Dartmoor only 32 miles away. If walking is your thing, make sure you take the footpath to the coast accessed directly from the house. You’ll end up at Lannacombe beach (2 miles), a superb stretch of sand nestled within a bay. Carry on along the South West Coast Path to Start Point Lighthouse (2 miles), before reaching Beesands (4 miles) with its mile-long shingle beach.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 double bed, 1 twin (2'6" beds)  with restricted head height only suitable for children
  • 1 bathroom with bath and WC
  • Kitchen with oven and hob, fridge with ice compartment and microwave

Clare and Johnie have been the most amazing and helpful hosts. The apartment in the roof top had definitely tree views as the name of the apartment suggests and was a cosy place to come back to after my walks. Located close to the Southwest Coast Path I feel so lucky that I came across this holiday let. It is a bit of a maze of country lanes to gRead moreet there but once you are there it is the best place to be. Clare also recommends how to get there best. Best to follow her instructions. So much to explore and a wonderful place to return to in the future. Hide

This is a lovely apartment - well worth the climb up the stairs as the views are so pretty and calming. The area is very tranquil although the narrow roads in some parts may be a little unnerving for some. The directions we were sent meant we avoided the worst and we had no problem as there were regular passing places to get to Ferndale.

Great property in peaceful location. The driveway is very steep and potentially a problem for some vehicles but no issues for our Toyota.

A lovely cottage in a stunning location. The owners were welcoming from the beginning, and it was an ideal spot for relaxation. Theres a peaceful beach about a 35-minute walk down the road. The accommodation was cozy, making it the perfect base for exploring the surrounding area.

Really lovely - you do need to be prepped for the remoteness and size of the roads locally - we visit Devon quite a bit and the roads here are very narrow. For us it added to the feeling of peace and quiet.
