Facilities

Our cosy reverse-living cottage is set in a peaceful courtyard of nine converted cottages in the heart of South Devon. Surrounded by open fields and adjacent to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing break with fresh air, stunning views, and easy access to the coast. Mothecombe beach is just 4 miles away, and Bigbury-on-Sea is 10 miles — where you can ride the famous sea tractor to Burgh Island, or walk the causeway at low tide (just watch the tides on the way back!).

The cottage was once owned by the National Trust and sits near the historic Fleet Estate. It has been recently refurbished throughout, carefully maintaining its barn-like character while providing all the modern conveniences you need.

The front door is accessed from the shared courtyard lobby. The open-plan living space is a few steps up from the entrance, featuring a lounge, dining area, and kitchen with vaulted ceilings and large east-facing windows that flood the room with morning sunshine.

The kitchen is fully equipped with luxury oak units and granite worktops, an induction hob, oven, grill, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. Evenings are made for unwinding by the wood-burning stove, with games, books, puzzles, Smart TV, and WiFi all provided.

Downstairs are two bedrooms — one with a king-size bed and one with two single beds — both with storage, garden access, and views over the AONB. The bathroom has an electric corner shower, electric towel rail, large basin, and toilet.

Outside, a small private garden with seating and a table is ideal for al fresco meals, and there is private parking for one car within the courtyard. (Note: there’s an unwritten rule in the courtyard that everyone reverses in — it keeps exits smooth and safe for all!)

Please note: the property has two flights of stairs — a short set from the entrance and a full flight down to the bedrooms and bathroom — so it may not suit guests with limited mobility.

Bedding is provided, but please bring your own towels, beach towels, and tea towels. All electricity and logs for the wood-burning stove are included.
