A beautifully finished country cottage, this delightful South Devon hideaway offers both comfort and elegance. Sleeping three guests, the two-bedroom, dog-friendly abode nestles within the picturesque surroundings of the Sharpham Estate, 3 miles from Totnes. Pull on your hiking boots and head out on scenic walks beside the River Dart or through the rolling hills of the South Hams. Venture 10.5 miles to the National Trust’s Little Dartmouth to pick up the South West Coast Path. Dartmoor National Park, with its myriad of excellent footpaths and landscapes, begins 8 miles away. Grab your beach gear and venture 9.5 miles down to beautiful Blackpool Sands, to swim, snorkel and sometimes book a beach sauna. The English Riviera, with its picturesque beaches and many shops and restaurants, is approximately the same distance away. Totnes, where there are independent shops, friendly eateries and colourful market stalls, is perfect for whiling away an afternoon.
Step inside this welcoming cottage to find accommodation with understated, sophisticated charm. Kick off your shoes in the kitchen and unpack any provisions you have sourced. Here you have everything you need to help you prepare leisurely meals at home. A useful understairs cupboard houses a handy washer/dryer for your damp beach wear and towels. Wander on through to the lovely sitting room, an elegantly styled space with a bookshelf brimming with holiday reads. Help yourself to one of these or pick up the remote control to the Smart TV to choose your viewing. Lay a fire in the wood burner on chilly evenings. Dine at the table beside the window on those occasions you decide not to reserve space at a local eatery. At the end of each exciting day away, climb the stairs to the first floor of the cottage. Here, there is a splendid king-size bedroom with picture windows and glorious views. Your contemporary shower room is also at this level, and up open stairs there is a further dayroom/ bedroom with a small double bed. Relax and gaze through the skylights at the stars.
The glorious garden really is a highlight of this exceptional retreat. Let your four-legged friend explore the tiered lawn with planted beds. Sip fresh coffee at the bistro table and dine out here on fine evenings, savouring the serenity of your surroundings. There is parking available on the green lane for one car.
