Charming historic cottage in the heart of Thurlestone

Imagine having so many amenities on your doorstep - the beach, cliff walks, the local pub, the golf course and the tennis courts are all within easy walking distance of our house. The house was built hundreds of years ago as shown by the original features but has recently undergone extensive refurbishment to bring it up to modern day standards. There are two different places to eat outside or just sit back and enjoy the seclusion of the sun drenched back courtyard with its own palm tree. Inside there are different areas where you can relax and at the end of the day, the children will enjoy exploring an extensive library of films (DVDs) located in the studio You can take in the sea air in Thurlestone or go further afield to see all the great things that the South Hams has to offer. Whatever your choose, Thatchways provides a very comfortable and welcoming home for your holiday.

The house is so lovely and decorated clearly with care. More like staying in someone’s beautiful home. We also found the position very good as easy to walk to beach etc but also pub and village shop! We will be back.
