Patchwork Cottage is a delightful Victorian, period end of terrace property situated just off a quiet pedestrian walkway in the market town of Kingsbridge in South Devon. This historic bustling town is located on the head of the estuary and boasts many independent shops, restaurants and a cinema which is housed in the historical old town hall. Only a stone's throw away by car some of Devon's finest beaches, Thurlestone sands, Bantham and Bigbury on Sea as well as the pretty coastal town of Salcombe renown for its annual sailing regatta, making Patchwork Cottage an ideal base. This two bedroom cottage sleeps four guests and is situated next to Duncombe Park, perfect for a child and dog friendly stay. Internally, the cottage retains many of its Victorian features, including the stripped pine doors and original fireplaces (decorative only) yet still offers all of the home comforts of a modern residence. For cosy nights in, the living room has a delightful wood burner or for warmer summers evenings, enjoy alfresco dining on the outside decking area. This two pet friendly cottage has a walled garden full of shrubs and herbaceous plants and enjoys views out over the green space of the park and rooftops. An ideal town stay but nestled away for peace and tranquility.

The cottage is really lovely. We were there in winter, so the heating was an important factor and we had no problems. The location is brilliant if you don't know the area as it's only 3 minutes walk through the back alleys to the shops on Fore Street. The Quay is also only 5 minutes away. If you have dogs, the cottage is dog-friendly and the park oRead moreutside the front door is perfect for short walks. All really excellent! Communication with the owner was top quality in the run-up. Hide

Cottage needs to be updated. I really dont think a cracked wash hand basin is acceptable even if it has been glued and the water for the shower was just about warm . The location is good for town but to park in the car park is 7.00 a day and that is the closest you can get to the cottage .
