About this property
The Captains House sits above the village road in Downderry, with fabulous sea views from most windows, a superb Victorian captains mid-terrace house over four floors. Steps lead up to a paved sun terrace and veranda where al fresco meals and sundowners can be enjoyed. Ideal for groups of friends or extended family groups.

The house is taller than it is wide with the living room on the second floor to take full advantage of the tremendous sea views. The dining room has a piano, and French windows to the veranda and terrace. The bespoke kitchen leads to a scullery and utility room and a shower-room and plenty of space for sandy buckets, wetsuits and boots. Stairs lead up to the first floor and three bedrooms a king-size double, a twin, and a bunk room and the family bathroom. Further stairs up to second floor and large living room with open fire, and those lovely views, a snug and stairs up directly into a large super king-size bedroom under the eaves with the best views of all and en suite shower-room. Take a bus to Cremyll and then a foot ferry across to Plymouth and enjoy its excellent historic waterfront, shops and Theatre. The captivating and ever-changing panoramic views make this a great coastal location at any time of year. A grand base for coastal living, from days in the sun to storm-watching in the winter.

Nice local dog friendly pubs with nice food which also had food on menu for the dog. Good long stretch of beach to walk on when the tides out.

The weather was atrocious but that didnât stop us from enjoying ourselves, walking on the beach, playing games, and enjoying the hospitality of the local pub. The only thing I would recommend is that the local information sheet in the house file be updated as a lot of little things have changed.

This is a spacious and very stylish period property that is furnished to a high standard and pleasantly decorated. The views are fantastic and the car parking is free. It is just a few minutes walk to the lovely beach, pub/restraunt and Tapas restraunt. Both highly recommended. The only slight issue was that the towns general store had closed down but hopefully this is only a temporary issue. However, there is a great farm shop about 10 minutes drive away. We all had a fantastic stay including the dogs and hope to return next year.
