  • "Lovely property."

    Everything was nice and clean. Hot tub was great after a day out walking. Loved sitting in the hot tub watching the sheep. We didn't use the kitchen for cooking but it seemed well equipped for if we had wanted to. The only negative was not being able to control the heating. Just a bitt too hot in the bedrooms for us. Would highly recommend The Bothy.

  • "The views and the Bothy are lovely."

    We found the heating a little too warm for us, it’s a very modern system that visitors can not adjust. The lanes through the village up are single track, and places to pass few. The peace when u arrive is worth it.

  • "The Brothy was superb in every respect."

    One of the best cottages we have stayed in. The views were amazing. It was well equipped and spacious. The hot tub was a definite bonus.

  • "The Bothy is one of the loveliest cottages we have ever stayed at."

    From the moment we rounded the bend in the track and saw it framed by idyllic fields, and with the backdrop of a blue, sparkling sea, we knew it was going to be a special place, and it was. It is completely self-contained - we didn't see another human being (apart from a farmer in the distance driving a hay baler and the occasional person who came to feed the sheep) the entire time we were in the cottage, and all we could hear was the wind in the trees, the birds and the aforementioned sheep, who were our welcome companions for the week. The views, from around the cottage and through the lounge windows, are sublime, and you can walk down the hill and into Slapton Wood which, again, was deserted and felt like our own private woodland. We heard so many species of birds, and saw both a barn owl and a tawny owl, which was wonderful! The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, and contained everything we needed for the week. The beds were really comfortable and, combined with the complete darkness and silence at night, gave us a week of great sleep. The hot tub is a lovely addition, particularly when sitting in it at night under the stars. The location of The Bothy is also ideal - we had days out in Brixham, Dartmouth and Salcombe, as well as a drive over Dartmoor. We walked the half a mile to one of the pubs in the village, and Slapton Nature Reserve (well worth a visit) and Slapton Sands are only a mile away. If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing and nature-filled holiday, we couldn't recommend The Bothy more!

  • "A beautifully appointed property set in the heart of the countryside and with stunning views in all directions."

    We made full use of the hot tub, which manages privacy while still giving stunning views of the countryside, not to mention the birds feeding their young in the nest box in the oak overhead! We managed plenty of walking with several trips to the beach and a couple of pubs but we ate at the Bothy every night to make the most of the views. On 6 out of the 7 nights the weather was kind and we ate outside to the sound of lambs and owls. A brilliant holiday.

    The location is second to none, both in good and bad weather - with dry moments presenting the opportunity to enjoy the surroundings whilst in colder, wet weather, the log-burner turns the Bothy into a lovely cozy space to watch the weather from. We will most certainly be back.

    A Unique & Contemporary Cottage set in the most beautiful countryside. What’s not to like. My wife was reading on the Deck when a Barn Owl landed on the fence not 10 feet away. The only issue is I wouldn’t like to keep opening the two gates in the rain. All in all a wonderful experience.

  • "This was our third stay at The Bothy, and sadly our last."

    We have had two exceptionally great holidays here in the past, but it seems the general care for the property is not obviously a priority for the owners anymore. We can not fault the location and setting of The Bothy, which is just so unique and the perfect place to get away for a relaxing break. Sadly, the bedding was very unclean on arrival along with generally everything in the house, we had to wash all the bedding and mattress protectors. Everything in the kitchen cupboards was really grubby, and had to be washed up. Not only was the cleanliness dreadful throughout, but a lot of things in the house don’t work properly or are broken, the list is endless! A real shame as it used to be our favourite place to stay and was always immaculately clean and well cared for, but unfortunately the location and setting do not make up for these issues.

  • "The Bothy is a very comfortable, clean cottage with all mod-cons in a beautiful rural location near Slapton."

    If you are seeking a quiet location in the countryside, surrounded by sheep, wild birds, and fine country views, this is the cottage for you. You will need a car to get around, although you will be a short drive from the village and the coast at Slapton Ley. Great coastal walks at Start Point and Little Dartmouth are within easy reach. We had a minor problem with low water pressure and the owners sorted it out very quickly.

  • "We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bothy, despite the weather although that did mean we got to use the wood burner which we probably would not have done otherwise."

    We found the whole place clean, tidy and very comfortable especially the beds and everything worked perfectly. I would have only two minor suggestions, i) in terms of rubbish, apart from the "blue" cardboard bag it was not clear what could and should or could be put in the clear and black waste bags, so some comments in the cottage notes would be useful; ii) we were also not sure what bowls could be used in the microwave and whilst there were sufficient pans there were not any specific microwavable containers. But as I say very minor points and the Bothy is certainly somewhere we would use again if visiting Devon.

    Unfortunately, hours of barking by an out of control sheep dog prevented us from booking again for the summer. The underfloor heating is not sufficient for the cold winter months. The bothy is tastefully furnished, but could do with some window dressing to keep out the dark. The place was superficially clean, but could do with a more thorough dusting. Please, replace the very dirty toilet brush.

    For us, the combination of the quality of the property coupled with the peace, quiet and remoteness was perfect. Yes you need a car to get everywhere, but that is a small price to pay in my opinion. The central location enables you to access many of the wonders of the South Hams with ease. The owners of the property are on hand if needed, nothing is too much trouble for them. The Bothy is decorated, furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Lovely touches abound including a night light in the bathroom, timed outside fairy lights above the hot tub area and plenty of logs for the fire pit for barbecuing or simply enjoying an evening outside with a glass or two watching the sunset. No surprise then that we have already rebooked for the same week next year.

The fact the property is away from anything else was fantastic, real peace and quiet (apart from the odd bah of a sheep!).

  • "THE BOTHY IS AMAZING!"

    It's a joke among people I know that I have the most ridiculous standards for holiday homes - I usually look at about 500 (only a slight exaggeration!) before I find one I like. The Bothy is both beautifully modern and full of character - the views are stunning and the outside area is lovely. There's a firepit, beautiful sun loungers and a table and chairs. Beds very comfy, kitchen wonderful including more than the standard 4 coffee pods! We had a wonderful stay, the area is beautiful and the price was fantastic. Only slight thing to mention was that the internet isn't fast enough to stream TV, which is to be expected but we thought it maybe as advertised as smart TV. Thanks for a fab stay in Devon.

About the location

SLAPTON

Torcross 2.2 miles; Kingsbridge 7.5 miles

The unspoiled little village of Slapton lies just inland from the nature reserve at Slapton Ley and the two mile-long beach at Slapton Sands in the heart of the South Hams in South Devon. A picturesque and peaceful village with a two excellent foodie pubs, The Queens Arms. Visitors come from far and wide to observe the wildlife that live in the nature reserve and the beach stretches as far as the village of Torcross and is popular with families being patrolled in summer months by the RNLI. Nearby popular towns of Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and Salcombe can all be easily reached. A lovely destination for a beach holiday or simply exploring on foot.
