Coach House Cottage, Strete, Near Dartmouth

Devon. Sleeps up to 3

This beautiful Grade II listed cottage converted from a 19th century coach house, half a mile from the centre of Strete, set above the A379 between Slapton and Dartmouth. Exceptionally well refurbished by an experienced designer, it is romantic and elegant accommodation on a stunning coastline. From the front door, head upstairs to the open plan living space, all light and calm with natural fabrics and views to Start Point and the River Dart estuary. Due to the age and character of the property please note that the staircase is quite narrow with a curve at the top leading into the sitting room. The seating area is cosy with a wood burning stove, a lovely place to sit and chat to the cook in the gently curving kitchen area. The two comfortable bedrooms are downstairs, each individually designed. You can enjoy the same fabulous views from the garden, which is good sized and enclosed and has a lawn for sunbathing and a patio where you can eat outdoor meals. Stroll down into Strete to eat out at the restaurant or head into Dartmouth for a choice of seafood eateries and a cinema and trips on boats and the steam railway. Whether you are a serious hiker or a stroller, the coastal vistas along the South West Coast Path are not to be missed, with blue and golden Blackpool Sands, a secret cove and the crescent of beach and nature reserve at Slapton Sands. Coach House Cottage is a very special place to stay.
