Wellies & Waves

The open-plan sitting room is light, airy and spacious – sunlight floods in and the ceiling extends into the beamed eaves. Art hangs on the walls, there’s a wood-burner to cheer, a soft sofa, shelves filled with books, an Apple TV and plenty of board games, so even on a dull day you’ll be happy to be stuck indoors. The bedroom flows studio-like from the sitting room and has a well-dressed bed with crisp linen and an embroidered bedspread.

The well-equipped kitchen is a good size, has all the kit you need to whip up supper for two and generous basics, including tonic for your G&T. Take it outside to your little gravelled terrace, with table and chairs, a Weber barbecue and a chiminea for later on while you watch the stars appear.

Borrow e-bikes and cycle quiet country roads, or a SUP for watery fun in the estuary – Collapit Creek, which leads to Salcombe in one direction and Kingsbridge the other, is just a few minutes’ walk.
