  • Charming, end-of-terrace bungalow close to Bantham Beach
  • Beautiful views of the countryside and sea
  • Well situated for exploring South Devon’s visitor attractions

Property code: OC-BC1415

Take the family for an incredible trip around Devon and stay in this beautiful bungalow. The place is lovely, comfortable and ideally located, and the best part is the stunning views over the local countryside and towards Burgh Island. Plus, two dogs are welcome! So set tails wagging and get ready for a ball.

As you enter the property, you’ll find a large dining area and lounge with huge glass doors, which allows natural light to flow freely throughout the open-plan space. Through an archway, you’ll find a kitchen, perfect for cooking up feasts after long days out. There are three bedrooms: a double with an en-suite shower room, a twin and a single, so there’s space for everyone and a little privacy for your teenager. The single bedroom adjoins the double bedroom, and each room is nicely decorated and feels relaxing. There is also a family shower room. In front of the bungalow is a small front garden, and in the back is a stretching lawn for sunbathing, drawing or playing. This is overlooked by a decked veranda, which has patio furniture. Why not prepare something scrumptious on the outdoor electric grill?

Although the cottage feels very rural, you’re only 20 miles from Plymouth, a fun university town with a lot to offer. For days on the beach, try Bantham Beach, (1 mile) where you can rent water sports equipment and surf. Parts of the beach are suitable for dogs, so check ahead of time. Alternatively, Hope Cove has lots of dog-friendly options and interesting local history, so try to see the rest of the village. For adventure, make your way to Salcombe Castle (6.5 miles) which is great for exploring, and then continue to Salcombe for dog-friendly pubs.

Great bungalow with terrific view, but, not for me because of the tiny roads in & out of the village!

The views were stunning, the garden very secure.The accommodation needs a deep clean, the seating in the living area was uncomfortable, the same with the mattresses. I would return for the views but not to stay at this particular accommodation.

We had such a lovely holiday, 4 adults, one 2 year old and a dog. The garden was large and totally enclosed and with the most beautiful views. The property was so central to many places to visit - South Milton Sands,Kingsbridge, , Hope Cove, Bigbury on sea and we went to South Sands and caught the ferry to Salcombe and back as well as the Steam tRead morerain from Buckfastleigh to Totnes. It was lovely coming back to the beautiful garden, stunning sun sets and comfy beds. We had a brilliant week Hide

A lovely cottage in a stunning location. The vie from the decking is outstanding and there are a lot of local walks close by. We had a great week and will definitely look at returning again soon.
