Potted Shrimp

Holiday Rental Description

Just a five-minute walk from the quiet shores of Hallsands, with its historic 'lost village', you'll find this cute-as-a-button 18-century cottage sitting pretty in pink.

From the outside, this Devonshire hideaway couldn't look more quintessentially English. But inside, it's a different story. A glorious mish-mash of old and new, you'll love the flairs of fun and modernity this home brings with contemporary artwork and textiles adding pops of colour, alongside all the modern comforts you could need for a holiday by the coast.

And of course, there are those sea views – how could we forget. Waking up to the glistening waters with a morning cuppa is a memory to treasure. And when it comes to the day's end, that hammock in the south-facing garden has your name all over it. Rustle up drinks and settle down for a sunset show like no other, before an evening of stargazing around the firepit. Or head indoors to hunker down beside the log burner and break out the home's board games.

When it's time to set out exploring, take your pick from the stunning coastal villages dotted around this cottage. The fishing village of Beesands (a twenty-minute walk over the coastal path) with its charming pub and lip-smacking fish and chips gets our vote.
