Escape to the serenity of the English Riviera at this charming retreat, overlooking one of the most picturesque towns in South Devon. Situated in the owner’s grounds but assuring guests privacy, the cottage is made for romantic evenings relaxing under bright evening stars, a Balinese-style canopy offering shelter from the cool night air.

The interior of this coastal property has a cosy inviting ambience, with both the living space and bedroom offering a warm colour palette of pinks and creams. Ceiling spotlights bring brightness to the lower floor along with large windows overlooking the terrace and the sparkling sea beyond. Whether spending a cosy day indoors or enjoying the views over the owner’s manicured grounds, you’ll feel relaxed and ready to discover the many things on offer in the area.

Should you be tempted to venture out, head down to the shops, cafes and restaurants of Paignton (2 miles) where you can try out some of the local seafood. It is also home to a beautiful beach as well as a pier, promenade and beautiful parks. Further afield, there is a huge selection of beaches and romantic coves to discover along the coast and for a tranquil afternoon, Agatha Christie’s former house, Greenway, now a National Trust property, is a welcome escape. Have a look around the atmospheric house and end the day by sampling a traditional Devon cream tea in the Barn Cafe.

We really enjoyed our stay here, lovely location with a beautiful view! Plenty to do in the surrounding areas; definitely advise having a car to get around as it's very hilly! Also worth being aware that if you have mobility issues then getting to the cottage could be tricky, as it's along a garden path and up several steps, so quite a way to carryRead more bags. Still highly recommended though; the bed was one of the most comfortable holiday cottage beds we have been in, and the hot tub was fabulous! Hide

Lovely stay in a very nice lodge . The quality of all fixtures and equipment was a pleasant surprise. What was no surprise was the helpfulness and care of the owners. As many have commented it appeared that it was very important to gill and Colin that their guests enjoy their stay .

White Cottage Retreat is the best holiday cottage we have stayed at. It's comfortable, really well-equipped - with the best most comfortable bed - and with great views and a hot tub just outside the patio doors. Gill and Colin, the owners, are really helpful, with good suggestions for places to visit. Despite really iffy weather - rain followed by Read morestorms - we loved everything about our holiday and can't wait to book again. Hide

Excellent accommodation in a lovely position to enjoy looking over rooftops and gardens to distant view of sea. One couldn't wish for better provision of equipment and so it provided a very comfortable base with the special extra of the hot tub.

Really nice cottage and well equipped, the hot tub was an added bonus due to the weather when we attended. They had gone out of their way to set it up for the Christmas period with treats and a tree. Probably would have booked again if they had remained dog friendly.
