Surrounded by 64 acres of vineyards, orchards and farmland, this luxurious barn conversion puts you between the coastal beauty of the South Devon AONB and Dartmoor National Park. A fifteen-minute drive sees you at the Southwest Coast Path to discover secluded bays and white cliffs, or make the twenty-minute drive to Bantham Beach for a day on the soft sand of the classic British seaside. 

Though if you want to stay closer to home, you’ll find plenty of activities right on the estate. Gin and wine tastings are on offer and walking the grounds you’ll come face to face with white-faced Dartmoor sheep and red Devon cattle. Should the weather turn, you’ve got a private indoor swimming pool and a dedicated cinema room with plush red theatre chairs and a big screen to keep you entertained. But sunny days can be spent on the patios, dining, reclining and unwinding in front of the rolling Devonshire scenery. 

Inside, wood-burning stoves and log fires keep things feeling cosy in the open dining and living room. The gabled beams of the barn are still on show, but the sleek kitchen and furnishings are all modern. It feels like a place for family or friends to gather after long walks in the countryside, and appreciate the peace and quiet.

Self Check-in / Check-out

Standing on a historic estate, this Grade II-listed Georgian home is ideal for a large family gathering or friendly reunion. You'll have plenty to keep you occupied – the sprawling grounds include two acres of gardens, several terraces, access to a private beach, and a tennis court. Perfect for multiple families, the home is split between the main house and a wing with three bedrooms. That means you'll find several cosy living areas and places for dining and cooking here. Having said that, coming together as a group in the large dining room and enjoying a meal prepared by a private chef (available through your host) sounds very tempting.

A Crowning Glory

Nestled on sprawling grounds and just a five-minute walk from a beach on the River Erme, this home will go down a treat with families seeking a rural escape. During the day, you can play games on the shared tennis court and croquet lawn or enjoy the view from the private terrace. In the evening, the cosy living room is the place to be thanks to its fireplace. The apartment is part of a larger building with other guests, but with seven miles of trails on the grounds, you'll easily find space for yourself. You're also just a short drive from several picturesque villages and beaches when you want to explore.

By The Erme

Grade II listed, this Devon home is the perfect base for a family or group of friends who want plenty of space to stretch out. With sprawling grounds to explore and access to a beach, the home is ideal for children and nature lovers. Closer to home, the private terrace allows for alfresco dining, and the shared tennis court and croquet lawn, along with the home's game room, offer plenty of distractions. You can hire a private chef through your host, too – the best way to enjoy the home's stately dining table, if you ask us. And if you've got a few more guests you'd like to bring, the neighbouring wing may also be available for bookings.

In the Heart of the Estate

Rooftop Terrace

You’ll find this timber-clad, eco-friendly home on Devon’s South Hams coastline, a forty-eight-minute drive from Plymouth and a two-minute walk from Challaborough Bay Beach. Inside the abode, expect an ocean-inspired colour scheme of deep blue, turquoise and aqua. There’s an open-plan living space that’s ideal for socialising – keep glasses topped up as conversation flows in the seating area while your group’s appointed chef cooks up a storm in the sleek kitchen. On sunny days, take your meals out on the terrace or head up to the roof deck and dine with views of the water. Once you’re refuelled and raring to go, grab your beach essentials and take the quick trip to Challaborough’s pebbled shore. Amble along the South West Coast Path for twenty-five minutes to the stunning Ayrmer Cove to find beasties in rock pools and hidden sandy spots. Return home to rinse salty wetsuits in the outdoor shower, then bundle into the snug for a movie marathon and hot cups of cocoa.

This design-led eco home combines the best of modern living in a beautiful coastal setting. Huge floor to ceiling glass windows look out onto rolling green hills and breathtaking views of the Devonshire coastline. The open, sunshine yellow kitchen is well equipped for whipping up home cooked meals, which can be eaten al fresco on the deck on warmer days. Follow the stairs up from the deck to reach the rooftop terrace, a sun trap and the perfect place to relax with a book in summer. 

When you're ready to see even more of this corner of England, walk 150 yards to Challaborough Bay, the sandy horseshoe shaped cove, perfect for a bracing swim or some surfing lessons. The South West Coast Path is a two-minute walk away and if followed for just over an hour and a half, will take you through gorgeous coastal scenery to Wonwell Beach. The famous seaside town of Salcombe can be reached in thirty minutes by car, where you will find excellent fish restaurants, the iconic Cranch’s sweet shop, and local ice cream shops serving honeycomb ice cream, a Salcombe classic. 

When you arrive home, settle in on the cosy sofas for a movie night, or fire up the bluetooth speaker and enjoy drinks on the terrace as the sun sets over the horizon.

Nice to haves

More a way of life than a holiday home, this unique stay offers a wealth of outdoor activities and add-on experiences. Aimed at families who like to get out into the fresh air, it's a fabulous country house in an idyllic rural setting. Right on the River Avon, it's the perfect spot for wild swimming with a rope swing and river plunge pool in the garden. Set in its own pretty grounds, the rustic farmhouse can trace its roots back to the 12th century and has plenty of character. Stone floors, oak beams and fireplaces are topped off with comfy furnishings and a lived-in, home from home feel. We love the living room with its exposed stone wall and cosy sofas around the fire. Bedrooms are all of a good size and even the bathrooms are stylish. Ideal for a large family group, you can cook meals in the country kitchen and serve them at the huge dining table, or barbecue outside on the Argentinian grill on warmer evenings. If the lure of the water has called you here, you can spend days playing in the river, or hop into the twelve-man hot tub. Head off for walks nearby or just let the kids bounce on the trampoline while you sit back with a cold beer on the sun loungers. Other add-ons include sea fishing with the host and taking time out in the log-fired sauna in the grounds. And it's just a short drive to Kingsbridge and the coast if you fancy a change of scene.

River Dipping

Parking On Premises

Outdoor Shower

Perched directly on the South West Coast Path, this penthouse apartment is all out the panoramic sea views. We reckon you'll spend most of your time on the private balcony. Sip wine, spot seals, or simply bask in the seaside scenery – no matter what you get up to, it's a little slice of heaven. Need a break from the sunshine? The living area has an open-plan layout ideal for socialising, while each bedroom is as comfortable as the next. With Hope Cove’s eateries within walking distance and the beach just a short stroll away, it has everything you need for a laid-back stay on the South Devon coast.

Coastline Jewel

Nestled along Hope Cove, this home is an ideal choice for a coastal family getaway. The charming balcony is a real treat, and while it's not the biggest outdoor space, you'll have plenty of room to unwind with a glass of wine in the evening as you look out to sea views. Inside, the modern decor is another welcomed sight, and the apartment is well-equipped with everything you’d expect for a relaxing stay. And with the sandy beaches, seafood restaurants, and cheery pubs just a short walk away, there’s plenty of fun to be had for friends and families when you do venture out.

Fenced Garden

Fenced Property

This barn makes an excellent option for a rustic retreat in the heart of the South Devon countryside. Along with the idyllic views, you’ll be welcomed by neutral yet snug rooms (the living area features a cosy log burner) as well as a secure private garden – an ideal spot for children and pups to explore. And when it comes to adventures further afield, it’s just a fifteen-minute drive to the local beaches at Bantham and Bigbury-on-Sea, while beautiful walking trails can be followed straight from the door. 

A Tale From The Farm

Smart TV

A dreamy South Devon stay awaits at this sprawling homestead. You can directly access the South West Coastal Path from the garden, which takes you to the area's best beaches in just fifteen minutes. Thurlestone's pubs and eateries are also within easy reach, or you can barbecue in the fresh air back home. We love the cosy, coastal-inspired interiors – two sitting rooms (one with a log burner), a country-style kitchen, and four equally charming bedrooms ensure plenty of space for everyone. The cherry on top is the option to add a hot tub for an additional fee – a soak under the stars is the perfect way to end the day.

The Ocean's Embrace

There’s nothing but you and the sea at this stunning cabin in its own secluded Devon bay. Ok, so there’s a little more to this place than a private beach – like a wood-fired hot tub on the deck and a fire pit for star-speckled nights away from the city. It may be a cosy, compact cabin, but there’s a full kitchen inside and hanging hammock chairs are perfectly positioned to gaze at the sea view. Leave your worries (and your car and your phone signal) at the clifftop before making the fifteen-minute walk along a steep, narrow trail that keeps this home secluded and secret. 

Guillemot's Perch

Staying at this historic Georgian gentleman’s residence, you’re transported to a time of elegance and grandeur. It’s been restored to retain its original opulence while introducing modern luxuries – when you’re not admiring the flagstone floors and velvet furniture, you can look forward to soaking in the wood-fired hot tub and playing on the tennis court. The home is a short drive from Plymouth and is also close to the coastal path, perfect for a wind-swept scenic walk.

With uninterrupted views of the river and rolling countryside, and the beach just a stone's throw from the beach, this striking holiday hideaway is the perfect place for family trips or escaping with a group of friends. Sleeping up to ten people, this spacious, light, and elegant property makes the most of its location, with floor-to-ceiling windows, elegant ash floors, and a barefoot luxury feel throughout. You're within easy walking distance of Bantham Beach – perfect for sunny summer days and pumping surf sessions in the spring and autumn. The Gastrobus is on hand for warming post-dip coffees and locally sourced street food, and there's a charming fourteenth-century pub just up the road. Back home, after stowing your surfboards and rinsing off your gear under the outdoor hose, you can enjoy direct access to the outdoors from the open living area and the master bedroom on the lower ground floor. There's plenty of space out here for alfresco feasts and sunbathing sessions, plus private access to the estuary for Blyton-esque riverside adventures for the kids. For a change of scenery, head to well-heeled Salcombe to spend a day sailing on the estuary, creating your own personalised gin and dining in waterside brasseries – it's a twenty-minute drive away.

Follow the River

This Georgian beauty set along the Salcombe-Kingsbridge estuary offers luxury and style in equal measure. Thanks to a sympathetic extension, there’s room for all ten of you to pile in at this design-savvy home. Spill out into the smart drawing room with a log burner and glorious views over the estuary, or sneak into the second sitting room for some quiet time. Outside, the manicured lawns lead down to a private quay and shingle beach – perfect for paddling or crab fishing at low tide. Fancy a change of scene? Central Kingsbridge, with an established restaurant scene, is just a ten-minute walk away.  

The Ambassador's Retreat

Located along Devon’s Jurassic coast, this modern farmhouse is an idyllic place to call home. Sitting just above the sands of Boivsand Beach, you and your loved ones can make the most of your coastal location, while Plymouth’s bustling centre is just a short drive away. The contemporary country-style kitchen invites you to get creative though there are great restaurants in nearby Plymouth if you prefer to dine out. Everyone will be getting a good night’s rest here, courtesy of the comfy bedrooms, and come morning, welcome a new day with a cup of coffee out in the private garden overlooking the sea. 

Magnolia Sunset

Embrace coastal living at its finest in this first-floor apartment. Nestled on the waterfront path to Hope Cove, you'll be a short walk from the village's eateries, pubs, and beaches. But it's the sensational views here that really caught our eye. We adore the sea-facing balcony, where you can perch with a glass of wine and watch the tide roll in. Inside, the living area is bathed in sunlight and offers plenty of space for a small family – including two pups – to stretch out. The building also has handy storage for all your outdoor gear, be it kayaks or wetsuits.

Scenes From the Cove

This apartment caught our eye with its impressive sea views and private terrace. It’s also in the perfect spot for refreshing walks along the coastal path, as well as providing easy access to the heart of Hope Cove. Free private parking is available here and two well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you during your stay. Inside, the rooms are family-friendly with bunk beds in the second bedroom and children's amenities available on request. Plus, your host can help organise a range of sweet extras – including paddle board hire.


Hope by the Sea

Private Dryer

Fancy long lie-ins and courtyard tipples in the countryside? This former stone barn is nestled in one of Devon's charming villages and may be the answer to an adults-only escape. It's the perfect place to disconnect – though if you are up for an adventure, your host is on hand to help with everything from Champagne cruises to paddleboard hire, and the golden South Milton Sands are just a five-minute drive away.

Embracing Nature

Rolling hills, hot tubs and contemporary design are on the cards at this standout home designed by renowned architect Stan Bolt. Perched in the peaceful village of West Charleton and surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, its setting is idyllic. Inside, discover three well-proportioned bedrooms boasting floor-to-ceiling windows to let the outside in and a palatial primary bedroom suite with a private deck and hot tub for the ultimate relaxation. Outside, kids will love exploring the labyrinth of gardens, with water features and a shepherd's hut offering spectacular views across the South Hams. Ready for a change of scene? Charming Salcombe is just a fifteen-minute drive, and Slapton Sands are even closer.

Courtyard

Overlooking an arm of the Salcombe-Kingsbridge Estuary, this home not only has a stunning waterfront view in its arsenal, but the rolling countryside packs a pretty impressive punch, too. For that very valid reason, we recommend spending as much time as possible out on the decked terrace – whether that’s in the hot tub or simply enjoying a cup of coffee in one of the outdoor chairs is completely up to you, as long as you’re keeping an eye on the horizon. 

Popular with paddle boarders, you might even spot a few going by when you’re taking in the water views. If you’re eager to try it out for yourself, there’s a rental place a five-minute walk away and they’ll see that you’re joining the fray in no time. Prefer to admire the water from afar? Also completely fine, and you might find yourself frequenting the famous Crabshell Inn. With its waterfront position, you’re able to appreciate the surroundings while you sip a pint, and it’s only a five-minute stroll away from home. 

Explore the market town of Kingsbridge, drive to Salcombe and visit as much of South Devon as you can manage in between all of the relaxation you’ll be doing in this home. Kindle a fire in the wood-burning stove and sit back with a glass of wine as you watch the world go by through the floor to ceiling windows. 

Paddler's Watch

Throws

Located in Kingsbridge, this delightful Victorian home offers a wonderfully comfortable base from which to explore the market town’s sights, as well as the delights of the South Devon AONB. 

Styled with a modern touch yet retaining much of its historic charm, you’ll find a welcoming open-plan living area decorated with nautical prints and boasting ample natural light. We’re particularly fond of the wood-burning fire here that invites cosy evenings enjoying the warmth of its glow over a glass of wine. 

Upstairs, meanwhile, you’ll find a pair of comfortable bedrooms beckoning a restful night’s sleep, while outside, the private leafy garden is the ideal spot to enjoy alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners when you’re not out sampling the local pubs. 

Speaking of exploring, you’ve got a wealth of things to see and do nearby, including the Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum (a three-minute walk), Hope Cove (a seventeen-minute drive), as well as the South West Coast Path. 


Patchwork Sails

Heated Pool

One of six natural stone cottages tucked away within a secluded valley between Dartmouth and Salcombe, this home's location is idyllic. With no local amenities to walk to, you'll need a car to get out and about. Though you're rarely a fifteen-minute drive from South Devon's sheltered coves and South Ham's water's edge is even closer. There's plenty to keep everyone busy within the cottage's vast communal grounds, too. Think shared indoor heated pool, tennis court, playground, communal lawns and alfresco terraces. Prefer a little more privacy? That wood-burning fire and small suntrap terrace back at the elegant cottage should do nicely.

Devon Blue

Paid Parking On Street

This beautiful pet-friendly home in Salcombe offers coastal charm in spades. Laid out over two floors, you’ll find thoughtful touches at every turn, from the wine fridge and Sonos speaker system to the Juliet balcony with creek views and the luxurious en-suite with its freestanding tub. Outside, meanwhile, the home ups the ante with a sunny front patio, as well as a back garden complete with a gazebo for alfresco dining, gas and charcoal barbecues and a pizza oven. It’s ideally located a short stroll from Island Street where you can nip over to its artisanal shops for morning croissants and essentials, while Salcombe Castle and the nearby beaches can easily be reached by car. 


The Seaside Riviera

This 250-year-old thatched cottage will charm you from the get-go. It's tucked down a winding lane surrounded by rolling countryside, sandwiched between Hope Cove and Salcombe. There's no doubt the location is impressive, but we reckon the home is even better. The garden is the epitome of outdoor living, with a bubbling hot tub, a summerhouse, and a panoramic terrace. You can toast marshmallows around the fire pit, or when the weather turns, head inside to the drawing room and get cosy in front of the fire. The cherry on top is the shepherd's hut, where a lucky couple can unwind in total privacy. No wonder English Home Magazine deemed it a 'must-stay' on the Devon coast.

Shepherd's Sweet

Tucked away in a secluded valley, yet with South Ham's water's edge and Devon's beaches a short drive away, the setting of this cottage is one of a kind. Part of an impressive country estate, kids will love the shared indoor heated pool, tennis court, playground and vast communal lawns found within the grounds – not to mention the trampoline, slide, climbing frame, sit-on tractors and football pitch. It's worth noting this elegant cottage only has a small private courtyard leading off the kitchen. But with those shared terraces overlooking the valley for barbecues and pizza oven nights, we can forgive that.

Set within the grounds of a hotel right on the South Devon Coast, nestled amongst 2000 acres of unspoilt Natural Trust land, this magnificent home mixes country and coastal charm effortlessly. 

Step into the sun lounge and you’re met with panoramic sea views and the perfect place to nestle down for some quiet time with a book – if you can tear your eyes away from the view, that is. 

With the large, bold and beautiful open-plan kitchen and dining area, it’s easy to see that this home was designed as a space for family and friends to gather. This is a kitchen you’ll want to cook in, and you’ll be surrounded by your loved ones as you rustle up a feast.

The outside space jostles for attention with the interior, and it would be hard to choose a winner. We love the treehouse and the private hot tub, which is just perfect for soaking in at the end of a long day exploring the area, sipping a sundowner and watching the spectacular sunset. You'll also have access to a nearby communal saltwater pool, tennis court and a spa.

With the beauty that surrounds you, you’ll be eager to get out and explore. The South West Coastal Path is within easy reach and it’s just a short drive to the stunning North and South Sands beaches, where you can soak up the sun and the sea air. 

The House of the Soaring Sun

Extra Pillows and Blankets

Devon is truly a region of many faces. One minute you can be in the lush, rolling greens of Dartmoor National Park, then eleven miles away you’re in an ornate Victorian manor on the coast of the English Channel. This home is simply bursting with history. Built in 1860, certain apartments in the building have been home to some very famous historical figures – Nancy Astor and Arthur Conan Doyle are former residents, with other visitors including Winston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin. With a whole host of celebrity guests, it’s only fitting that you should also feel like a VIP in this luxury adobe. Inside, you’ll find a traditional-style decor, with plump velvet sofas, an original marble fireplace, and patterned wallpapers. Chandeliers and grand, upholstered armchairs make this living and dining space fit for royalty. Take in the spectacular view of Plymouth Sound from the huge sash windows or out on the private balcony. Sitting with a gin and tonic, overlooking the water is a wonderful way to spend a summer’s afternoon. And if you’re in need of yet more lush greenery, you’re just a seven-minute stroll from the vast Hoe Park.

Lighthouse View

Fancy a romantic getaway with a twist? This upside-down home places a firelit living area above the bedroom, where the en-suite bathtub enjoys a framed view of the creek. Upstairs, we think the waterside terrace might inspire a paddle to Salcombe – made easy by the three-seater kayak your host provides. It's worth noting that there is a bit of a hike to the front door here (thirty-six steps, to be precise), so this home won't be the best option for everyone. 

The Great Outward

Just a short stroll from the centre of Salcombe, this apartment is a refreshing coastal escape. The rooms are bright and breezy, the balcony has beautiful views across the estuary and we love the sweet extras like the Sonos sound system, Netflix and The White Company toiletries. Families should note that child-friendly amenities aren’t available here and that little ones will need to be supervised in the communal garden. Still, it’s a fantastic location with easy access to East Portlemouth's beaches, as well as hiking trails through the surrounding countryside – not to mention private parking for adventures further afield.

The Sea From Here

Situated in a private gated development, this penthouse apartment is all about the views. Easily accessible courtesy of the lift from the covered parking area, head on up to the third floor and you’ll find an open-plan, light-filled space waiting to welcome you home. The sea vistas are best enjoyed from the balcony over a glass of wine, but you’re spoilt with scenery from most parts of this home – fling open the bi-fold doors and take it all in. Better still, Salcombe's centre is just a short stroll away, so you'll never be too far from shops, eateries and the water.

The Olde English

Tucked within the grounds of a private estate, this cosy cottage delivers a great solution for those in search of comfort, warmth and family fun. From the communal indoor swimming pool and tennis court to the gym and kids’ playground, you’ll find plenty to keep everyone entertained. This won’t be the best option if you’re looking for total seclusion, but you will have a private terrace, snug rooms and a wood-burning fire. It’s also in a great location – the Salcombe-Kingsbridge Estuary and the sandy beaches of south Devon are within easy driving distance.
