About this property
This semi-detached Victorian cottage is one of a group of five creating a courtyard beside meadows on the fringes of Down Thomas. Light and comfy, it is homely and welcoming accommodation. Take the steps up to the front door and you will find yourself in the lovely open plan living area, complete with a well equipped kitchen area with breakfast bar for morning coffee and the paper, a dining table and comfy seats beside the cosy living flame gas fire. The downstairs bathroom is neat and shiny in white and chrome. Head upstairs to your three bedrooms, all peaceful and charming for good nights' sleeps after days exploring the interesting surroundings, plus a shower room. To the front of the cottage you have a little seating area with table and chairs or follow the path to your own lawn where you can fire up the barbecue for alfresco lunches and suppers. This is an excellent location for exploring city and coast, with the sandy beach at Bovisand Bay just a mile from the cottage and the Marine Conservation Centre at Wembury beach, where you can swim and explore the rock pools, not much further. For bright lights, you are just a few miles from the heart of the city of Plymouth where you can eat out, visit the National Marine Aquarium, discover the maritime history or catch a show at the theatre or cinema. water sports enthusiasts will love the well equipped Mount Batten centre beside the marina or stick to dry land to walk the South West Coast Path or play golf along the clifftops. With all this on the doorstep, The Old Post Office is an excellent base for a fascinating break.
Surrounded by the rugged beauty of Dartmoor, the glorious countryside of the South Hams and the vibrant scenery of the South Devon coast, Plymouth offers the perfect mixture of maritime heritage and natural beauty in a vibrant city environment.

The help and support of the caretaker was greatly appreciated.

Very convenient for the nearby village facilities, Inn and shop. The Devon/Cornwall coast/Moors, as well as Plymouth are within easy travelling distance although the latter's main roads are of course busy.

The scaffolding across the front of the property made access challenging (we were warned about this by Gwen), but it was difficult to access the keypad especially in the dark. The third step up from the parking space is damaged and needs attention. As always, we brought our own hair dryer and sharp cooking knives. The casserole dish in the cottage does not have a lid - but we got round that one. There are other properties in the area with a higher star rating, but each time we stay some adjustments have been made and it suits us well. The cottage was warm and cosy, and we were made to feel welcome (conversations with Gwen, caretaker). We will return for another holiday.
