There are two lovely beaches within 10 miles, Mothercombe beach and Bigbury-on-Sea, which has a tractor that takes you to Burgh Island in low tides. There is riding available 2 miles away and golf 3 miles, with easy access to St Mellion Golf Club. There is a local fish restaurant located on the way to Bigbury-on-Sea, and there is plenty to do in the surrounding area even on a wet day, such as Dartmoor Zoo, Pennnywell Farm, Woodlands Family Theme Park, Holden Forest Park for bike riding and walking, Paignton Zoo, and Agatha Christie’s holiday residence, Greenway (National Trust) at Dartmouth, where you can get the ferry across and come back on the train.
The city of Plymouth, with its historic Barbican area, restaurants, bars, Hoe and waterfront, is a popular place to visit and is just 20 minutes away in the car. The rural market town of Totnes, with its eclectic array of shops, is about 30 minutes’ drive. Exeter airport is only 38 miles away, perfect for those travelling from further afield. Shops 1 mile.

The cottage is set on a small private road with stunning views of the Devon countryside and Dartmoor. It has a lovely garden with lots of birds visiting it. The house is very spacious for a couple and suits a family. All local facilities are a drive away to Ivybridge although you could walk it in about 20 minutes along the road. We loved walking out from the house on to the moors. It is peaceful with some minor noises from railway and Devon Express way. The house was very clean and tidy. Covid-19 restrictions mean that a lot of the games, books and DVDS were not available but we were informed of this in advance. There is only one bathroom plus WC which was ok for us but not so good for families. There was a present surprise for us on arrival to make it extra special.

One of the best.
One of the best. Very good quality of equipment, and the rooms very clean. The location is quiet. The view over the countryside from the lounge is outstanding. One can just spy the sea on a good day. Also watch the birds feeding. Some nice walks directly from the cottage, also along the river in Ivybridge. The local pub, Horse and Groom, serves good ale and good pub food, and is friendly, as are the locals. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Lovely cottage, super clean, stunning views towards the sea with beaches just 25-30 mins drive, while Dartmoor is just a two minute walk up behind the house. Very well equipped, the only thing that could improve our experience is a king or super king rather than a double bed but we would happily return to this home from home.

What a view!!! The cottage was well equipped (and would be even more so but some things had been removed due to COVID restrictions) and spotlessly clean with some lovely touches like the cream tea, cafetiere and coffee, disposable BBQ to name a few. Great location for getting up onto Dartmoor for walking and also well located for visiting other areas in Devon. We will definately return for another week.
