Set in the peaceful village of Kingston, this welcoming two-bedroom cottage makes a stylish and convenient base from which to explore South Devon. With space for four and the dogs welcome, too, it’s ideal for couples and small families looking to mix countryside walks with days by the sea. The sandy Wonwell Beach is only 1.5 miles away – you can walk there, if you wish – and the market town of Modbury (4 miles) has shops, cafés and excellent places to eat.
You’ll enter the premises after climbing four steps to the front gate, then a couple more to the front door. Inside, the charming cottage is full of character, starting with a beamed lounge where you can relax after a day exploring. It has comfortable seating, a wood burner set within an elegant stone fireplace, a Smart TV and board games to keep you entertained. The adjoining dining room sets you up perfectly for holiday meals or a friendly game of cards, while the nearby kitchen has everything you need for easy self-catering. Cottage-style stairs lead up to the airy bedrooms – a king-size room and a bunk room – plus a family bathroom with a bath and shower. Outside, you can soak up the sunshine in the small front garden and dining alfresco on warm evenings. On-street parking is available subject to availability.
Nearby, Ayrmer Cove (3 miles) has secluded sandy beach, fascinating rockpools and access to the South West Coast Path for high-quality hikes. From here, you could follow a beautiful 3-mile circular walk through the picturesque Ringmore Valley and along lanes once used by smugglers. Bigbury Beach (5 miles) is popular for windsurfing and kite surfing, while the lively market town of Kingsbridge (10 miles), is great for shopping and dining, with a swimming pool and cinema too. For a day packed with history and maritime charm, head to Plymouth (14 miles).
