Find everything you need in this stunning studio property that’s surrounded by South Devon’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty splendour. Footpaths and walkways to the South West Coast Path and beautiful beaches are within walking distance of this rural retreat, making it a real bolthole getaway destination for two guests hoping to ramble around Devon’s country roads. Peace and privacy are assured when you stay here, perfect for any couple hoping to escape to the country for some calmness and serenity. The property is also dog friendly and offers a pull-out sofa bed in the lounge for those slightly larger groups.

Inside you’ll find two rooms, an open-plan living space and an adjacent wet room, offering an all-encompassing base to feel at home in. The main studio-style living space is compact yet separated into three distinct areas, a kitchen at one side, a lounge/diner in the centre and a double bed at the other side. Find a Smart TV and a selection of board games to fill your evenings with entertainment, choosing to curl up on the sofa bed or sit comfortably at the dining table as you let your evenings roll on by.

There’s so much beauty to be discovered on foot in this area, including the nearby Man Sands Beach (1.5 miles), the riverside town of Dartmouth (3 miles) with its splendid castle and the National Trust property of Greenway (3 miles) along the River Dart. Heading in the opposite direction, the town of Brixham is just 2.5 miles away. This English Riviera locale is an ever-popular holiday destination with so much to offer, including the Shoalstone Seawater Pool (3 miles) and the harbour offering boat trips to Torquay (8 miles) and beyond.

Fab apartment with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beautifully clean, comfortable bed and great shower room. Lovely touches were the air fryer, the gift of a bottle of wine and the treats, doggy blanket and poo bags for our dog. Well done to our hosts.

Very clean and compact, quiet accommodation, well equipped. It was located just where we wanted to be to enable us to explore Brixham and surrounding area of Dartmoor and Dartmouth, we did some excellent walks with our dog and found the people we met in Brixham to be very friendly. A bonus to have parking outside.

First impressions are always the most important, and on entering Ramblers Retreat, my first impression was that it was spotlessly clean. Extremely comfortable bed, with lovely linens, and a cosy sofa too. Kitchen well laid out, and with enough equipment to allow for home cooking or simply tea and toast. Large wet room, with a beautiful monsoon showRead moreer and the best heated towel rail ever !!! Parking great too, with two spaces specifically for Ramblers Retreat. Hide
