Property code: 80623

This five-star luxury property with an enclosed garden lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s ideal for families who enjoy coastal views, walking trails and family-friendly attractions. You’re within half a mile of a 16th-century village pub, a mile from the beach; and a short drive from the shops, shore, and amenities of popular Bigbury-on-Sea (4.5 miles). The spectacular surroundings of Dartmoor National Park (12.5 miles) and the vibrant port city of Plymouth (13.5 miles) are also within reach.

Step inside this historic country-style cottage which sleeps six guests plus two dogs in the most stylish of surroundings. Sink into cosy sofas and watch films on the Smart TV, or enjoy family games by the warmth of the toasty wood burner. Rustle up delicious meals featuring local ingredients in the well-equipped kitchen. Dine alfresco in the enclosed cottage garden where you can breathe in the fresh air and floral aroma as you catch up on the day. You’ll find the pretty bedrooms upstairs, and there’s a TV snug room in the loft, accessed by cottage-style stairs from the single bedroom, great for older children looking for their own space to relax.

Join the South West Coast Path which stretches from Somerset to Dorset. The South Devon coastline offers spectacular views from towering clifftop trails, and pretty coves to discover along its shores. Venture north on Devon’s ‘coast-to-coast’ path from Wembury (17.5 miles), to Lynmouth in North Devon. Tee off on the fairways of Bigbury golf club (3 miles). Or enjoy family-friendly fun at Woodlands Family Theme Park (14 miles), where children can meet meerkats at the petting zoo farm, and hop on thrilling funfair rides.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful village - approximately 15 minutes drive from Kingsbridge. The property has been modernized and refurbished to a very high standard, and is an excellent base for exploring this area of South Devon - Salcombe, Dartmouth, Bigbury on sea and Totnes all within easy reach. II would definitely recommend.

Overall the house was very good and worked well for 2 adults and two 6 year old boys. It is in a quiet location with the beach at Bigbury on Sea being 10 to 15 minutes drive away. It is well equipped and all parts work well except for the top TV room which is very small, this was OK for the children but would be cramped for adults. We will considerRead more booking it again.

Fantastic cottage, clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need, in a wonderful rural village location. It's only a short drive out to Bigbury on sea and we enjoyed trips a bit further out to Dartmouth and Salcombe. The walk to wonwell beach from the cottage a delight.

The best cottage we have stayed in. Good location we walked to Wonwell beach, plenty to do in the area, most things we less than 20 mins away. The cottage was very lovely with all the things we needed and more. Great boot room and lovely kitchen / diner. The garden was a great size, perfect for the dogs to roam in.

Lovely cottage in a lovely location. Cottage very bright and airy but still cosy and charming. We were able to sit outside on the patio sunspot in October which a bonus! Quiet village, not on the coast but within a good dog walking distance. Lots of local walks and beaches directly on foot and a drive away.
