Spacious, character, stone built property with a generous garden and sea views. Cool inside during hot weather which was a bonus. Comfortable general areas. Parking for a van plus 2 cars. Quiet location. Steps down to the kitchen are not ideal. Fish pond could be a risk. Suited us very well. A return visit. Highly recommend. So handy for Bantham Beach and for relaxing in the evening.

A wonderful home in an excellent location
The house has bags of character and provided a very comfortable stay for our family of 8 ranging from age 14-80. Everything we could have wanted or needed was there. The beds were very comfy and the views were a delight. We were able to walk to the shop, pub and sea from the house and Salcombe was a short drive away.

Brilliant stay in a very comfy large cottage/ house
Large, comfortable, well equipped and warm house . Squashy comfortable sofas, good Wi-Fi. Fabulous garden which would be lovely in summer. Parking tricky for a larger vehicle ( we have VW camper van), especially reversing out onto the road.we had a lovely Christmas week here and loved coming back after walking along the wild and windy shores!!

What a find. Comfortable and homely house with a wonderful view of the sea. Great location. We all enjoyed the generous welcome pack and appreciated all the niceties. Garden well equipped- we even used the hammock! Linen/ towels all good. Would have liked warning of the pond as we had a toddler. Many internal steps too. Overall we loved this property and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Super property.

Exceptional location and beautiful home
A group of 8 family members enjoyed a weeks stay between Christmas and new year. We had a wonderful time. Location of the house is 5 mins walk to local pub and shop and 10 mins to a great coastal walk and a number of beaches. Weather was windy and very wet but didn’t stop us from exploring the coast line and local villages - Salcombe and Kingsbridge then returning to a lovely fire. House is furnished with everything you need. Highly recommend
