A pet friendly holiday cottage that sleeps 6, near the beach of Slapton, Devon. Set within the beautiful South Hams countryside and close to the Slapton Ley, it's peaceful and only 3 miles to the beach. Inside it is elegant and sumptuous with all a guest could need for an easy holiday. Outside there's a BBQ, a furnished courtyard, a playhouse, swings, an orchard and a pond with ducks. For rainy days there is a pool/tennis table in the garage. Dartmouth and Kingsbridge are within 15 minutes drive.
There are other cottages here and all are very comfortable and well furnished and set around a pretty courtyard with summer hanging baskets and benches. The kitchens are well equipped with gas hobs, cooker extractor hoods, built-under ovens, fridges and microwaves. All beds are standard size (4ft 6in doubles, 3ft singles). The bathrooms all have a shower over the bath, hand basin and WC. All cottages have central heating, a gas fire in the living area and are equipped with iron and ironing board.
There is a large communal laundry room with coin operated washing machine, dryer and freezer. There is a large range of local information and in season a small incubator, who knows what you might see hatch during your stay! Water is supplied through filtered and tested borehole water. The resident caretaker keeps a whiteboard up to date with the latest sightings of wildlife, can lend you a bat detector, a metal detector or a telescope and is conversant in German and French. He is always ready with suggestions that will help you get the most out of your holiday.

Upstairs a huge picture window with doors looks out from the landing over the orchard and gives access to a small patio and the communal gardens. The master suite comprises a large double bedroom with sofa and TV and an en-suite bathroom. The bedroom has views over the duck ponds and gardens across rolling countryside towards Dartmoor. There are two further good sized twin bedrooms each with two 3ft beds and a second bathroom. Both the family bathroom and the en-suite have showers over the baths.
