Hunker down at this homely and traditional cottage in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you can while away your time exploring the windswept coastline, swimming in the sea and sniffing out wildlife. Spend quality time with a group of friends or family over a meal in the characterful kitchen/diner with a wooden beamed ceiling or playing fetch with your four-legged companions in the expansive 1.5 acres of grounds with a duck pond.
Enter the ground floor via the courtyard and head through the welcoming kitchen/diner with warm neutral tones, a ‘G’-shaped cabinet layout plus a wooden dining table with chairs to seat eight. Continue into the cosy lounge, where natural light pours in through the wide windows and you can put your feet up in front of the TV on the plump sofas. There is one family bathroom and four bedrooms – a king-size with an en-suite, a double, twin and bunk bedroom. Outside is a courtyard with seating plus an additional 1.5 acres of grounds that are shared with neighbouring properties.
During your stay in a rural location near the small village of Merrifield in South Devon, you’ll be surrounded by nature and rolling fields. Just 2 miles away is Slapton – head here for a bite to eat at one of the pet-friendly pubs or to pick up some essentials at the community shop. Continue towards the coast to reach Slapton Sands (2 miles), which is canine-welcoming all year round with scenic walking routes around Slapton Ley – the largest natural lake in the southwest.
