This beautiful holiday cottage in a small South Hams village is what dreamy Devon holidays are all about. Forget pokey and dark, Bumble Cottage is light-soaked and spacious with oodles of tastefully styled room to unwind in with all the family, including the dog.
Bumble Cottage is delightfully traditional on the outside and fabulously chic on the inside. Lovingly restored by its owners, every room has been immaculately designed and styled. Stroll up the front path and through the main entrance and you’ll discover a gorgeous airy space that’s peppered with original features of exposed stone and timber; beautifully balanced with sea-foam green walls, contemporary Scandi-inspired furniture and textured soft furnishings. There are areas to get cosy in like the ground floor snug with cast iron bread oven (uncovered during the property's restoration), while the open plan kitchen / diner with its breakfast bar is where you can converge for a frothy coffee and conversation. Upstairs is all about having your own sanctuary to retreat to, and with four luxury bedrooms to choose from (two with waterside views), you’ll be able to indulge in blissful afternoon naps and deeply comfortable nights of sleep.
1 pet accepted: Please advise the Luxury Coastal team directly if you would like us to host your pet after completing your booking. A charge of £40 per pet per stay/week will be applicable and required before your stay. We will arrange and invoice with you directly upon booking confirmation.
We ask our guests for a £250 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.

A beautiful house in a great location
This was a delightful home from home where everything had been thought of down to the last detail. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite it being at the same time as the terrible storms and the loss of the Torcross to Slapton road. The local pub did an outstanding job of keeping open as much as was possible during this time.

Beautiful location and lovely cottage
Beautiful location - Torcross was lovely - great beach with a fantastic pub / fish and chip restaurant, lovely local walks, especially over to Bee Sands. The cottage was lovey, well renovated, well equipped and the outside 'deck' gets some sun.

A super property
A super property, recently beautifully refurbished throughout and including a wonderfully equipped kitchen. The accommodation was perfect for us - 5 adults and a dog! A great location too, just a few minutes' walk to the sea and a wonderful view of Slapton Ley. We even saw a small murmuration of starlings one evening. The ideal place for a relaxing break.

Welcoming, cosy, great location, fabulous views from the front bedrooms. Well equipped kitchen. The next door neighbour offered a lift to the church for the wedding we were attending. ❤️

Super comfortable coastal cottage with many thoughtful touches
We very much enjoyed our stay here and it was delightful for a short break. We were very impressed by all the thoughtful touches in the house. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped and the whole property is in great condition and obviously very much loved. It is a huge pleasure to overlook the Ley and to be 2 mins from the sea in Torcross. So many wonderful things to do and see in the area, The only downside for us was being right on the road because ideally we would have liked to sit in the front garden with a view of the Ley, but being on the road makes that less tempting.
