About this property
With spacious rooms, bright, modern interiors and an enclosed, grassy garden where children or pets can play, this handsome coastal cottage is sure to tick a whole load of boxes for your next South Devon stay. The fantastically located property is equal distance between the River Dart and the beautiful Broadsands Beach (both 1 mile), ideal for those eager to explore nature walks along the aonb river banks and spend time on the beach. The accommodation, which sleeps four guests and is ideal for a small family, is also within easy reach of Brixham (3 miles) and other appealing destinations along the ever-temperate English Riviera.
Everything’s laid out on one easy floor in this modern bungalow, so both bedrooms and one contemporary bathroom are accessible on the ground floor. The sociable communal spaces are split into a lounge, a kitchen/diner and a separate conservatory, so there’s more than enough room for the whole family to settle in and spend time together. The conservatory is a noteworthy room with stylish sofas and views out over the garden – an ideal space to sit with a book whilst younger visitors play on the lawn. The garden is entirely enclosed and furnished with an outdoor dining set, so prepare to dine outdoors when the sun shines.
In the months of May through to November why not attend one of the many events and festivals in the area like the Brixham Pirate Festival, England's Seafood Feast, Lanterns lights & 'luminations, Dartmouth Music Festival, Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Dartmouth Food Festival, Torbay Air Show, Teignmouth Air show, Devon County Show.
Torquay, Paignton and Brixham offer an incredible trio of South Devon seaside towns, all within 6 miles of home. You can take a ferry from Brixham Harbour (3 miles) over to Torquay for a wonderful way to visit both towns. Attractions including Paignton Zoo (3 miles), Splashdown Quayquest (2 miles) and Occombe Farm (5 miles) will be loved by young ones, whilst guests of all ages will find the appeal in Torquay’s Torre Abbey (5.5 miles) and the fascinating Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves (7 miles).

This cottage/bungalow is exceptional. It is extremely well equipped with plenty of cooking utensils. The fully enclosed garden was perfect for the dog. Location was great within easy walking distance for the bus routes to Brixham, Paignton and Torquay and also to the local pub The Manor Inn. It is like a home from home and would definitely like to visit again.
