Garden House, Gitcombe Estate, Totnes

About this property

A holiday at Gitcombe Country Cottages is all about spending time with the people that matter the most in a truly beautiful setting. Tucked away in a pretty valley between Dartmouth and Totnes, the 14 acre estate is surrounded by rolling Devon countryside and is only a few miles from some of the most stunning beaches and coastline in the South West.

When you arrive at your charming stone cottage, you’ll be greeted by a spacious open plan living space on the first floor, making the most of the vaulted ceiling and views across the grounds. The perfect entertaining space for a celebration, the family can cook and dine together in a cosy setting with underfloor heating and a toasty wood burner.

It’s the summer months when the cottage really comes alive, with beautiful gardens creating a sanctuary of peace and quiet. French doors open out on to a private terrace area, a wonderful place to spend time with the family, and the built-in barbecue means a tasty meal is never too far away. If you’re looking for a moment of calm, the secret sun deck, complete with Adirondack style chairs, provides a tranquil corner to simply sit back and relax.

If you want to leave the car for a few days, you’ll have plenty to see and do right on your doorstep. Take an early morning stroll along your private pathway to the indoor heated swimming pool, start a family tennis tournament or take a break from it all and indulge with a morning in the shared hot tub, sauna and steam room. The estate is perfect for the younger members of the family too, with an adventure playground, outdoor swimming pool and indoor soft play.
