Follow the River

Holiday Rental Description

With uninterrupted views of the river and rolling countryside, and the beach just a stone's throw from the beach, this striking holiday hideaway is the perfect place for family trips or escaping with a group of friends. Sleeping up to ten people, this spacious, light, and elegant property makes the most of its location, with floor-to-ceiling windows, elegant ash floors, and a barefoot luxury feel throughout. You're within easy walking distance of Bantham Beach – perfect for sunny summer days and pumping surf sessions in the spring and autumn. The Gastrobus is on hand for warming post-dip coffees and locally sourced street food, and there's a charming fourteenth-century pub just up the road. Back home, after stowing your surfboards and rinsing off your gear under the outdoor hose, you can enjoy direct access to the outdoors from the open living area and the master bedroom on the lower ground floor. There's plenty of space out here for alfresco feasts and sunbathing sessions, plus private access to the estuary for Blyton-esque riverside adventures for the kids. For a change of scenery, head to well-heeled Salcombe to spend a day sailing on the estuary, creating your own personalised gin and dining in waterside brasseries – it's a twenty-minute drive away.
