Cosy Thatched Coastal Retreat, close to Maidencombe beach & beautiful pubs.

Coastel retreat - 2 guests - 5 minute walk to Maidencombe beach. Tranquil 1 bedroom retreat with ensuite walk in shower. Private entrance ensuring complete privacy. Private garden offering serene valley views. Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances. Nestled in between Torquay and Teignmouth, Rosemary Cottage Annex is a one bedroom thatched cottage that's cosy and enormously inviting. This cottage has been renovated specifically as a holiday retreat with everything you need for a great Devon getaway.

The clever open plan layout of this property means that everything is on hand from the cute kitchen, the dining area or watching TV from the two-seater sofa. The master bedroom has a welcoming double bed and offers direct access to an enclosed garden area with a table and chairs that make it a tempting place to pass a couple of hours. This is a fine spot from which to soak up the views under the summer sun.

Parking is on a private drive at the side of the cottage. The cottage also benefits from wi fi for those who cant live without their technology.

A 15 minute short walk away is the highly rated village pub in the centre of one of South Devon's most picturesque villages of Stokeinteignhead, with its thatched cottages and rural atmosphere. Opposite the pub is the volunteer run village shop to enable you to stock up on essential supplies and local produce, or the Thatched Tavern pub at Maidencombe along with the beach, cafe and paddle board hire. There are also many outdoor activities within the area including horse riding, golf and kayaking to name a few.

The cottage is situated in an ideal location, whether you wish to make a short trip to the seaside or make it an active day on the South West Coast Path. You are just a few miles away from the spectacular views and walks on Dartmoor. For those who want some retail therapy you are close to the historic city of Exeter, the market town of Newton Abbot and the famous Torquay English Riviera and harbour.

Mooie uitvalsbasis

Een compact huisje, met de belangrijkste voorzieningen. Goede bedden. Het (zit)meubilair is wel wat verouderd. Voor ons was het een mooie uitvalsbasis voor verschillende dagtochten.

Fabulous cottage

A beautifully presented cottage in a timeless country village providing everything we could have wanted from a Devon escape. Clean and modern within the cosy thatch and the thick stone walls set in a country lane with easy to reach pubs and amazing scenery all around. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The cottage was located in a fabulous village, with a short walk to the Thatched Inn pub and the wonderful cove of Maidencombe which was a hidden gem. Neil our host was so friendly and gave us some great local tips and nothing was to much trouble.

Ein Kleinod in einer herrlichen Landschaft.

Wir haben die Tage in diesem kleinen Cottage genossen. Es ist etwas klein aber gerade dies entwickelt auch seinen ganz eigenen Charme. Die Untekunft ist ideal für Tagestouren in Süd Devon oder den östlichen Teil Cornwalls. Neil und Nikky sind äußerst nette und liebevolle Vermieter, die einem bei allen Fragen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stehen. Wir danken Ihnen für die schönen Momente.
