Our Story

Relax in one of five comfy historic, dog-friendly cottages nestled between Slapton & Strete, near Dartmouth,in a stunning coastal valley at the heart of S Devon AONB. Four cottages have their own fenced garden or patio and there’s 20 acres of lawns, meadows, woods, and a shallow stream to enjoy. Green lane walks from your cottage door and further afield. Beaches, pretty villages, cafes and pubs with great local food.

All the cottages have wood-burning stoves, other heating and individual character - they’re set around or in a former 18thC watermill in a typical Devon seaside valley on a working small-holding with orchard, kitchen garden, coppice and water turbine - we generate our own power and have a car charging point for electric cars!

Go stream walking, star-gaze under dark skies as owls hoot by - no through traffic or light pollution. Rediscover what life is all about as you leave the bustling world behind you. The valley is virtually untouched by modern technology, with a 24-hour nature channel right outside your window and green lane walks from your cottage door.

A short drive or longer walk from Blackpool Sands, Slapton Sands, the Coast Path & beautiful Start Bay, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Close to the National Nature Reserve of Slapton Ley which our stream feeds. Dartmouth, Totnes, Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Dartmoor are within easy reach by car. It’s the perfect place for walking & exploring South Devon and the South Hams. We are dog-friendly, fun-friendly, eco-friendly, sustainable & nature loving. Come, refresh your senses, reconnect with nature, yourself and each other. Call Christine on 01803 770219
