A dreamy South Devon stay awaits at this sprawling homestead. You can directly access the South West Coastal Path from the garden, which takes you to the area's best beaches in just fifteen minutes. Thurlestone's pubs and eateries are also within easy reach, or you can barbecue in the fresh air back home. We love the cosy, coastal-inspired interiors – two sitting rooms (one with a log burner), a country-style kitchen, and four equally charming bedrooms ensure plenty of space for everyone. The cherry on top is the option to add a hot tub for an additional fee – a soak under the stars is the perfect way to end the day.

Today’s residents are a well-heeled bunch, and in the summer months, you’ll find an equally upscale visiting crowd.
