Overview
Property code: 75138

Set within the beautiful South Hams, this wonderful cottage is the perfect retreat for couples or a small family who are looking to enjoy a cosy and restful holiday in a traditional thatched cottage with easy access to all of Devon delights.

Set in the picturesque village of Ringmore, this elegant gem of a cottage will give humans and hounds a sparkling new leash of life. Within a mile, you and your faithful friends can be striding along the wild South West Coast Path, amidst the elements and ozone. Ringmore is at the heart of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its thatched cottages and deep tranquillity. Less than a mile away lies the pebbly beach of Ayrmer Cove, with its unusual rock formations and pools. The circular walk to Kingston (2.5 miles) is sublime and rewarded with two pucka canine-friendly pubs.

Inside the cottage, you’ll find quaint country charm and cosy contentment. The open-plan lounge/kitchen diner is delightful, with its exposed stonework and oak beams, elegant breakfast bar, window seats, wood burner, stone hearth and wide, comfortable sofa. After lush adventures, wine and sweet local seafood, unwind in the enclosed garden, slightly elevated from the property. Drift off to dream of tomorrow in the seductive single bedrooms, and wake with an invigorating shower. This is a cottage created with love and care.

Discover sandy dog-friendly beaches at Wonwell Sands (11 miles), Yarmer and Thurlstone (9 miles), Soar Mill Cove (10 miles) and Salcombe’s five golden sanctuaries. Salcombe is blessed with a bounty of independent shops, pubs, galleries and eateries, as well as its excellent Maritime Museum. Walk the 3 enchanted miles to Bolt Head, through rocky spires and whirling gulls to the mouth of Salcombe estuary. The hike to Gara Head and its hidden beaches is also superb. Jump on the sea tractor from Bigbury-on-Sea to Burgh Island, for a pint at the Pilchard Inn where a roaring fire will mark your memories. This is a magical landscape that you and your furry friends will never forget.

Ringmore is a lovely quaint village with a 13th century pub and beautiful walks in and around the village.

This was the third time we stayed at the cottage and we enjoyed much needed relaxation each time. Excellent facilities and good location for walking or driving to nearby towns and beaches. Hope to come back next year.

The cottage was quaint and lovely. It was comfortable and the wood burner great to take the evening chill away and nice to be cosy. The cottage is in a great location close to Bigbury, challaborough beaches. Salcombe a short drive away. If you want to eat at the journeys end pub book in advance!

This is a charming 'olde worlde' thatched cottage in a chocolate box village. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and well-equipped given the premium on space available. The garden is delightful and dog proof, though you have to cross a shared access path to access it (not a problem). The pub is excellent, but do book in advance, and the convRead moreenience store in St Ann's is well-stocked. We enjoyed tea and cakes in the garden of the WI Hall.
