The Experience
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.

We think you'll love
- Feeling very private in your cosy nest with everything you need close at hand
- Staying in such a tranquil valley yet being so close to the lively beaches and villages of the South Hams
- Being able to walk across fields to Kingsbridge (25 mins) and buying local food from the market or delis

Location
The neighbourhood
You're in a peaceful valley, surrounded by rolling hills and lush countryside, but Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Bantham are all a five to 15-minute drive. Salcombe, five miles, is a pretty seaside town and a great base for hiring a boat to explore the coastline. Eat at The Crab Shed, right on the quayside where the fishermen land their catch. Bantham for surfing and South Milton for kayaking are nearby.
Local points of interest from Jamie and Melly Curtis
- This is a paddleboarders heaven! We are 1 minute away from Collapit Creek where you can access the Kingsbridge Estuary with spring tides, or you have Salcombe, Thurlestone, Hope Cove and Bantham, all within 15 minutes drive.
- We welcome well-behaved dogs, and there are some fantastic local walks where you can have an estuary all to yourself, or more well-known coastal walks which will take your breath away.
- Although we live in a very peaceful valley, the hustle and bustle of Kingsbridge is only a 5 minute drive away or a 25 minute walk across fields. There are some fantastic restaurants including The Crabshell Inn, and the delicious Mahar Bharat!
- Everybody knows how popular Salcombe is, hence parking a car there can be tricky! We rent out Ebikes that make getting in and out of Salcombe a cinch, with a stunning 20 minute bike ride along the estuary there and back.
- You can stay with us self-catering or B&B, and either way you will have access to a fully-equipped kitchen if you fancy creating your own foodie adventure with some of the stunning local ingredients available here...# fresh lobster and crab!
- We can also offer private bass fishing trips or estuary BBQ excursions, just tell us what you'd like to do and we'll make it happen!

Introducing
Jamie and Melly Curtis
Jamie and Melly ran a shooting lodge on Exmoor for several years but have now turned their hand to hosting the B&B. Jamie is a photographer and has set up a bass fishing business – ask him to take you on a trip; Melly is a superb cook and supplies the home-cooked suppers. They are both very warm and friendly and can give good advice on how to make the most of your holiday.
This is bed and breakfast with a difference – not just a room but your own beautifully decorated cottage, more luxury boutique hotel, complete with a kitchen and barbecue terrace in case you want to rustle up an evening feast. Breakfast is prepared for you, try Jamie's 'crump-eggs' or eggs with soldiers. Borrow an SUP to explore the nearby creek or take to the lanes on an e-bike. A perfect retreat.
