The sitting room offers a comfortable space to put your feet up, complete with a Smart TV and inviting seating for lazy evenings.

When it’s time to unwind, the bathroom provides a calm retreat with a bath and overhead shower.

Upstairs, you’ll find a king-size bedroom and a twin room, both thoughtfully finished to ensure a peaceful night’s rest.

Outside, the front patio is the perfect spot for your morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun sets over the village rooftops.

With off-road parking, WiFi, and handy extras like a dishwasher and laundry facilities, everything’s been considered for a relaxing self-catered stay.

The village pub, the Castle Inn, sits just a short stroll from the property, and the area’s setting near Dartmoor adds even more character to the surroundings.

The vibrant seaside towns of Teignmouth and Dawlish are both easily reached, offering golden beaches, waterfront cafés, and a taste of the Devon coast at its best.

Dawlish’s graceful black swans glide along the brook that runs through the town centre, while Teignmouth tempts visitors with its pier, promenade, and freshly caught seafood.

HOLCOMBE

Dawlish Warren 3 miles; Dawlish 1.5 miles, Teignmouth 1.9 miles.

Holcombe is situated between the seaside resorts of Dawlish and Teignmouth, and is in a designated conservation area with a picturesque village centre lined with pretty thatched cottages, a village shop and traditional pub. Holcombe's history has been associated with smugglers and has been impacted by the growth of the railways - the Bristol to Plymouth main line goes along the coast at Holcombe and is one of the most scenic stretches of the rail network in the country. The beach at Dawlish Warren is a sandy Blue Flag beach backed by sand dunes and small lakes and stretches for miles to reach the Exe Estuary in one direction, and Dawlish town in the other. A safe beach, lifeguarded in summer, provides a perfect place for seaside fun, and has many free, open-air events, children's entertainers and spectacular firework and air displays during the summer season. Nearby there is much to occupy the visitor along the English Riviera coastline, including Paignton Zoo, the Dartmouth Steam Railway, the picturesque fishing harbour of Brixham and the long pier and promenade at Teignmouth. A typically English seaside resort, great for family holidays at any time of year.
