“Too, too perfect. A definite must stay.”
I have been coming here for years, have got to know the owners and am biased but everything done on Coombe Farm is done to a very high standard. (I've stayed in every accommodation here on different occasions.) Haven't been for about 5 years so to see some of the updates and changes was refreshing and pleasing. The new patio is a lovely development on Fix-It cottage, making al fresco dining tempting.
The house has everything you could wish for with good kitchen equipment, comfy beds and all the usual as far as TV etc. and a good wifi (Free!) connection. It is a working farm so enjoy but don't try to pet the animals. (I like seeing a tractor go by loaded with hay!)
Private parking just for us was a bonus.
WARNING FOR DRIVERS: I've said this before but if you are new to Devon's skinny Lanes go slow and take care. Particularly in Summer when the hedges are high and well grown.

About the location
KINGSBRIDGE
Salcombe 5 miles; Bantham 5 miles; Dartmouth 12 miles; Totnes 13 miles; Plymouth 20 miles.
The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of South Devon. During the summer season there are river excursions to Salcombe to see the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which also forms part of the South Devon Heritage Coast. Visitors can take a walk along the Kingsbridge Quay, wander through the narrow alleys off Fore Street or visit the Shambles, an Elizabethan market arcade. Around the South Hams area there are picturesque ports, such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, together with sandy beaches at Blackpool Sands near Stoke Fleming and the two sandy beaches at Thurlestone. There are a host of small attractive villages in South Hams offering interesting pubs, local farm produce shops and pretty rows of cottages, plus further afield the waterfront city of Plymouth is a vibrant centre housing the National Marine Aquarium, historic Barbican Quay and plenty of night life, including theatres, restaurants and bars.
