This 16th-century townhouse is right on the historic High Street of Totnes, an easy walk from independent boutiques, cafes, bakeries and restaurants. Both moor and coastline are within a few miles, with Dartmoor National Park only a twelve-minute drive away and the golden stretches of Broadsands Beach just a twenty-minute drive. Back at home, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed home whose historic ceilings and original features are complemented by contemporary furnishings. Unwind in the elegant sitting room under the stately chandelier and enjoy afternoon tea. The kitchen is well-equipped for home-cooked meals, and we especially love the oval dining table with a view of the street for entertaining. At the end of the day, you’ll find the bedrooms share the same elegant atmosphere and eye to comfort. Settle in for a night of dreamy, restorative sleep.

Surrounded by ancient woodlands, meandering rivers, and a bohemian vibe that’s a charming contradiction to the ancient fabric of the town itself, this Georgian home in the heart of Totnes has been designed with guests in mind. There are two luxurious living rooms, plus a large kitchen and dining room for light lunches and social sharing suppers. The adjoining games room keeps the kids busy – and ensures plenty of nearby ‘volunteers’ to help lay the table.

If you’d prefer to dine alfresco, head to the garden and gather on the veranda – it’s the perfect spot for morning coffees, too – plus, there’s outdoor table tennis to provide hours of family fun on windless days and a brand new smokeless fire pit. 

Head across the River Dart towards town, and you’ll find charming pubs, independent shops, vintage boutiques and vegan restaurants as you make your way up Fore Street towards Totnes Castle. Britain’s first zero-waste supermarket is just a ten-minute walk in the same direction (if you aren’t tempted to stop anywhere en route, that is). If you’re looking to explore further afield, hop in the car and reach the south-eastern edge of Dartmoor in twenty minutes, or Bantham Beach in around forty (there are closer options, but this one is the best). 


The Gardengate

Single-Level Home

Child Friendly

Located just a twelve-minute walk from Totnes High Street, this bright south-facing bungalow is perfect for sunny summer holidays or sheltering from the rain on an autumn day. Why not begin your mornings here with a lazy breakfast on the decking as you take in the incredible views towards the Dart River Valley and Dartmoor? While the children can let off steam in the private garden. 

Explore the interesting independent boutiques, art and bookshops on Totnes High Street or go on an adventure in nature and head to Dartmoor National Park – a sixteen-minute drive away. Or, if beach days are what you are looking for, Goodrington Sands can be reached in just seventeen minutes by car. 

In the afternoon, we would love to spend some relaxing hours in the home’s sun room, gazing out at the amazing panorama, or enjoying a Devonshire cream tea alfresco. Then, if the typical British rain begins, why not have story time in the home’s sun room, with the children reclining on the tatami mats? Plus, on colder evenings, this home still has you covered. Snuggle up in front of the Scandinavian wood-burner fireplace and get cosy on the sofa.

This is a barn conversion in which the standard of the renovation has been of such quality that it's nigh-on impossible to picture its functional past. Set in twenty-six acres of Devon countryside, the building has been given some hi-tech features, including a ground-source heating system and an intelligent lighting system, as well as a lot of large glass windows that make the space a lot brighter than could be expected of an old barn. Our favourite space has to be the mezzanine lounge, reached via a glass spiral staircase and with a skylight on one side that's perfect for stargazing. The large kitchen looks the picture of modernity, but there's an Aga in place for a touch of rusticness. Stepping outside, there's a large patio area complete with an alfresco dining table, barbecue and fire pit, so you can sit out here on summer evenings and bask in the spectacular view of Longcombe Valley. The medieval town of Totnes can be reached in seven minutes in the car and offers plenty of quaint shops and restaurants to explore. Paignton Beach is a seventeen-minute drive away, too.

Watercress Soup

Bathrobes

If the gentle trickle of water helps you relax and you're a lover of the great outdoors, this fabulous home is sure to delight you. Right next to a narrow part of the River Harbourne, which leads to the Dart, it's a converted fruit barn with bags of character and more than its fair share of chic styling. 

Built around 1825 and once a rubble ruin, the home has been completely modernised, with plenty of contemporary luxuries blending with the building's original structures. We love the extended kitchen and dining space, where beams and exposed stone walls give way to gunmetal grey patio doors and a glass ceiling.

Designed to be cosy for four but with the option of adding two children in the spacious master suite, it's a beautiful home with several standout features. As well as the modern log burner in the sitting room, there's the private garden beside the river, the high-spec kitchen, glamorous bathrooms and comfy beds. Plus a friendly local host who'll be on hand with tips and recommendations about the area.

On the outskirts of a village near Totnes, you'll be ideally positioned to access all of the South Hams easily by car. And keen walkers can head off to Totnes, Tuckenhay, Cornworthy and more. There are two good pubs within walking distance and the nearby Sharpham Estate has a great farm shop.

This fantastic Victorian villa in the English Riviera is the perfect home for family holidays. Located in Paignton, this home is only a short walk from many great activities including Paignton Beach – a nineteen-minute walk away – where you will find the pier, the Geopark, a fairy cove, pirates bay adventure golf, and even a multiplex cinema perfect for those typical rainy British days. What’s more, Splashdown water park is a short nine-minute walk away and Torbay Leisure Centre – with its pool, gym and squash courts – is reachable in twelve minutes on foot.

Your little ones will love letting off steam in the home’s large, enclosed garden too, with the kid's swing, trampoline, treehouse, football goal and pirate boat. Meanwhile, you can relax on the garden bench with a good book or enjoy an afternoon Devonshire cream tea alfresco at the outdoor dining area. 

When it’s time to come indoors, head from the decked veranda through the French doors into the living space. Curl up on the sofa to watch a family film and even make it cosier with the wood-burning stove, which can be lit for additional warmth or roasting marshmallows. Your little ones hopefully won’t object to bedtime with the twin rooms one of which is Star Wars-themed and the other which features a dollhouse mounted on the wall and a whimsical fairy wall hanging to decorate. We can’t promise they’ll want to stop playing and go to sleep though. 

The Peacock's Feathered Plume

Smart TV

This restored barn makes the perfect setting for a refreshing rural escape. Surrounded by the beautiful Devon countryside, you’ll find easy access to walking trails as well as the picturesque village of Dittisham – just a mile away. And while days can be spent exploring, by night you’ll love returning home to relax by the wood-burning fire. Pets are welcome to join you during your stay, plus there is a large private garden with outdoor seating – perfect for summer evening drinks. 

Trinity Barn

Foosball / Table Football

Hot Tub

Wellness & Fitness

What's better than a cedar hot tub with a sweeping view of the Totnes countryside and the River Dart? In the case of this colossal former barn, the answer is two of them. This isn't the only thing that the home doubles up on, as there are also two Webber coal barbecues on the patio for grilling up smoky flavours, which lucky guests will be able to enjoy underneath the parasols on the alfresco dining area. This is very much an address where outdoor pursuits are the number one priority. On the grounds, there's a hard tennis court, trampoline and children's play area, but beyond the perimeters, there's plenty to see, too. The town of Totnes takes forty minutes to reach on foot, and there are a number of beaches — including those at Broadsands and Paighton — that can be reached in less than half an hour in the car. However, don't worry if you fancy staying indoors for the day — or if the weather leaves you with no choice — as there's plenty to keep you occupied inside the four walls. A games room on the top floor has tables for both foosball and ping pong, as well as another stunning view out of the floor-to-ceiling window. Alternatively, what's to stop you curling up on one of the sofas in the living room with a book in hand and the log-burner crackling away comfortingly in the background?

This is one for those who demand a quintessential English retreat from their country escape. A tranquil manor house located in the town of Ashburton, it's got Dartmoor’s wild landscapes right on the doorstep and the Devon coast just half an hour away. Original wooden ceiling beams and stone walls provide a historic backdrop to activities, whether that’s dining together at the large rustic table or relaxing in the free-standing bathtubs. Hosts offer a hotel service with breakfast, cleaning, welcome drinks and hamper. The expansive grounds have a private swimming pool, crystal lake and a garden allotment, making it the perfect setting for weddings and parties, or even just coming together with loved ones for a well-deserved getaway.

Coast meets country in this Dittisham home. Throw open the generous patio doors to indulge in indoor-outdoor living at its finest – and believe us when we say, this is a garden you’ll never tire of. Perfect for families, little ones will love to explore this haven for wildlife – just bear in mind that there’s an unfenced pond and stream here, so children and dogs will need to be supervised when enjoying the outdoor space. Is the coast calling your name? It’s a mere twenty-minute drive to Blackpool Sands. 

Nature's Oasis

Rooftop Terrace

This cosy cottage in Dittisham is the perfect place to kick back, relax and enjoy the incredible views of the River Dart. If you're anything like us, you'll want to spend every spare moment in the courtyard garden, watching the boats float by. Summer mornings call for coffee and alfresco breakfasts, while evenings are the perfect excuse to pour yourself a glass of wine and admire the South Devon sunsets.

Inside, you can't help but swoon over the comfortable and chic spaces. Unwind with a good book in the window seat, or throw a log on the wood-burner and snuggle up on the leather sofa for a Netflix movie night. For dinner, rustle up something tasty in the kitchen – this area is home to some of the country's best seafood – or head down to the local pub, just one minute away, when you don't fancy cooking.

Speaking of location, you've got the Dart Valley at your fingertips. You're just a stone's throw from the quayside, where you can hop on a ferry to Dartmouth and Greenway. Craving sand and sun? Drive twenty minutes to Blackpool Sands and while away the afternoon by the sea. 

Gazing Upstream

Wheelchair Access

Tucked in the heart of Devon, this old dairy farm is perfect for those seeking flexible holiday living. The layout is spread across six cottages and suites, all based around the pretty courtyard. Some can be linked together for larger groups, too. We love the traditional character here – expect exposed stone walls, wooden ceiling beams, and plenty of rustic-chic charm. Set in the glorious Devon countryside, you won't need to leave this home for an authentic country experience. The grounds have a flourishing garden, full of lush greens and a turquoise lake. For a change of pace, stroll down to the local town for traditional cream tea shops, or take the short drive to awe-inspiring Oddicombe beach. After days exploring the unique landscapes, there's nothing better than coming home to the sunny courtyard, where you can enjoy a few tipples while little ones let loose.

Lime Tree Arbour

Sauna

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

Is there anything better than a seaside holiday? This lovely stone cottage is in Marldon, on the edge of the English Riviera. Bring your bucket and spade, as you’re within easy reach of several beaches. We love paddling at Paignton, which is a twelve-minute drive, and exploring the harbour in Torquay, which is sixteen minutes away. 

If you prefer to keep your feet dry, there’s still plenty to enjoy here. The South West Coastal Path is a dream for hikers and cyclists, and you have all of Dartmoor’s delights to discover too. 

When you’re not exploring, you’ll be relaxing at the cottage. Curl up on the sofa beneath wooden beams for a cosy afternoon in, or spill out onto the courtyard for games in the fresh air. Head out to a pub for dinner, pick up fish and chips, or cook in the well-equipped kitchen. Everything you might need is close to hand at this comfortable and convenient home-from-home.

Dramatic views and stylish interiors are the names of the game at this home overlooking the coastline between Paignton and Brixham. A big, bright family home with a rear garden that drops away, it offers up staggering vistas, with big windows and a huge terrace built to make the most of it. Period touches like parquet floors, fireplaces and bay windows nod back to the 1930s, while luxurious, modern furnishings bring everything right up to date.

Perfect for families, there's a great deal of space to spread out in, with an open layout to the fully equipped kitchen and dining space – with one of the best views in the house. Elsewhere, a cosy living room boasts velvet sofas, a log burner and sliding doors to the terrace, while a second sitting room doubles as an extra bedroom, with a wheelchair-accessible ground-floor bedroom off it.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a lesson in elegant styling, and we love not only its far-reaching views across the hills but also its stunning en-suite – the freestanding tub is such a treat. And we'd have been quite content if it stopped there, but this home also comes with a slight surprise – underneath the rear terrace, you'll find a bonus room used as a gym, with a treadmill, bike machine and weights.

Enjoy all your meals on the sunny terrace during the summer months, gaze out across the sea and even watch the steam trains go about their business at the local heritage railway. It's just a walk or a short drive to Broadsands Beach, and you can choose between heading out for a day at Paignton Zoo, visiting Brixham Harbour or even grabbing your clubs for a game of golf nearby – it's all within easy striking distance.



In Perspective

Just inland from the River Dart, this two-floor Devon home is perfect for two couples seeking an off-the-beaten-path escape. Set on four acres of communal grounds, you've got plenty of space here to enjoy dog walks or a ramble, and the idyllic quayside village of Dittisham is just a short walk away. The sunken bath is a nice touch here, as is that view. And just so you know, the home has an upside-down design, so both bedrooms are on the lower floor. 

The Storybook Village

With its sumptuous interiors and privileged position in the heart of Dartmouth, this home is a great base for exploring one of South Devon’s most enchanting towns and its surrounding countryside. Inside, a cosy seating area unfolds into a modern kitchen – we loved the glass ceiling and creamy neutral colour scheme. Head upstairs for quiet bedrooms which guarantee a peaceful night's sleep.

On warm afternoons, spill out onto the terrace for barbecues in the balmy sunshine. Or why not pack a picnic and enjoy a bite to eat in Coronation Park, a five-minute walk away. If you’d like to learn more about the local history, visit the Dartmouth Museum before exploring Bayard’s Cove Fort. 

And of course, no trip to southwest England would be complete without a day at the beach, so slap on your sun cream and make haste to the Blue Flag Award-winning Blackpool Sands, just a ten-minute drive from your doorstep.

Stickleback House

Bicycles

A collection of character homes, rented together, and set on an historic Devonshire farm – this place is a dream come true. At its heart there's the manor house. An imposing place, built from local stone some 200 years ago, it's set over three floors and is the star of the show. On arrival here you can bag yourself one of the plush, en-suite bedrooms, before gathering for drinks in the formal entertaining space downstairs (there's a dining table with places for eighteen). Elsewhere, the barns have been converted, creating six one-bed cottages and suites around a shared courtyard. If you're planning a big celebration, you can also rent the enormous glass-roofed barn nearby, with its event kitchen. Around the estate you'll find all the things you'd hope for in a farm. Meet the farm animals, explore the pond and even – if the good old British weather is on your side – grab your towel for a swim in the outdoor pool. 

An English Dream

Shared Pool

Within the popular beach town of Paignton, this home is ideally located for exploring North Devon. You’ll be able to stroll down to sandy Goodrington Beach in just seven minutes – from there, admire the unusual red colour of the sand and go for a walk along the pretty pier. While in town, why not pick up some fresh produce to cook on the barbecue for the ultimate British summertime meal back home. Upon your return, knock up a few light bites in the swanky kitchen before sipping bubbly on your private glass-fronted balcony – we can vouch for the sea views. Come evening, enjoy an al fresco dinner or watch the sun go down over the water with a glass of chilled wine. While you won’t have it all to yourself, the large pool will be a welcomed sight on sunny days. However, the real highlight of this home is access to the neighbouring boating lake which lets you hire out swam boats and bob along the peaceful waterway below. Bliss. 

Nautical Reflection

Despite its small size, this studio apartment's proximity to Paignton's seafront gets full marks from us. The water is so close, you could practically reach out and touch it from the living area, making it the perfect spot to enjoy some sand, surf and Devon sunshine. 

We love how the coastal scenery is reflected in the sleek and stylish design. Yellow chairs invite you to kick back and relax with a glass of wine, admiring the views framed in the full-height windows. The compact but well-stocked kitchen is ideal for romantic dinners at home, while the lush rainfall shower is just the ticket after a balmy day by the sea. 

Of course, days here are best spent wandering along the traditional pier, snacking on fish and chips at Goodrington Sands and dipping your toes in Tor Bay. The beach is a mere 100 metres away, but if you're keen on exploring a bit further, you'll find the South West Coast Path, Torquay and Exeter are just a short journey by car.

Balmy & Clear

This 19th-century cottage in the heart of Dittisham is ideal for a small family wanting a tranquil valley view. Overlooking Mill Creek, it's peaceful with plenty of homely charm. Though it has been modernised, some of the original features remain. If you are looking for something sleek, this home might not be for you, but it is well-kept, bright and plenty comfortable. Here, you can hire a boat to explore the valley at your own pace, and there's also ample opportunity for paddle boarding or kayaking. Dartmouth is a short drive away, and so are Kingswear and Totnes. 

Mellow Mill Creek

This stunning 5-bedroom family home is nestled into the hillside of the Kingswear headland, and offers stunning views of the valley. The open-plan living space maximises the views, and there's a further sitting room and family room. Upstairs, two of the king-size bedrooms (one en suite) have private balconies. The third bedroom is styled for a soothing sleep and a refreshing start.

Keeping It Kingswear

If you're looking for peace and tranquillity, you've found it here. This converted barn has been lovingly restored to welcome two people to switch off, relax, and enjoy the rolling hills and wide-spanning fields. Sitting on a farm, the cottage embraces its rural surroundings while still being completely private in its own courtyard, with a personal garden too. 

The cottage itself is bright, warm, and inviting, with huge windows flooding the home with beautiful natural light. Whether you're catching up on your booking on the rocking chair upstairs, or getting cosy and watching TV by the fireplace, you'll love spending time in this peaceful, romantic retreat. 

Surrounded by idyllic hills and fields that seem to stretch on for miles, you might not think you're so close to several vibrant towns. Cornworthy is just a five-minute drive away – a quiet, welcoming village, with a great village pub. But if you travel a bit further than that, the bustling seaside town of Dartmouth is full of beautiful beaches, waterfront cafes, and local boutiques. It takes just twenty minutes to get to Dartmouth by car, which is the same for the charming market town of Totnes. Teeming with historical sites and a fun, artsy atmosphere, you'll love exploring Totnes and its galleries, museums, and narrow streets.

When you return home after a long day of exploring the Devon coast, nothing beats opening a bottle of wine to be enjoyed out in the garden. The views of the rolling hills are particularly beautiful at dusk, as you watch the sun lower behind them.

Cottage Comfort

Settle into this charming cottage in South Devon, one of five luxury stone cottages nestled in the rural landscape on the outskirts of the English Riviera. If you're looking for somewhere to recharge your battery from the everyday hustle and bustle of modern life, you've come to the right place. Enjoy your morning coffee in the outdoor seating area in the fresh area as you plan how to fill your day, or gather in the open-plan living area in the evening for a board game night or a movie on the TV, or curl up on the couch and enjoy a good book from the provided collection on the shelf. When it comes to enjoying some good food, who up something to delight everyone in the well-equipped kitchen, just as cosy as the rest of the home, or head out into Marldon or Paignton where you can find some wonderful restaurants and discover your new favourite dish.

Thanks to the location of this home, you'll be in close proximity to all the necessities you might need during your stay. Just a short drive away you'll reach Paignton, where you'll be able to enjoy a plethora of amenities including a gorgeous beach where you can stroll along the coast, or get some sunbathing in while the kids play in the sand. You'll also be within easy reach of Dartmoor National Park – this home lends itself perfectly to exploring the surrounding area.

Sunflowers & Posies

We love the flairs of modernity and fun at this Victorian townhouse, placed just a ten-minute stroll from Dartmouth's harbour edge.

Spread out over three floors and glowing from top-to-toe in crisp white, this family retreat is a joy to return home to. Vintage memorabilia posters and zesty pops of colour perk the space up a treat, while period features and antique pieces bring all the character and charm.

Over in the first of two living rooms, butter-soft sofas placed beside the fire are more than inviting. As is the Gatsby-esque 1920's mini bar in the grown-up feel sitting room next door – playfully known as the Cocktail Room by the owners. And the shaker-style kitchen makes cooking and entertaining a joy – especially with it's handy opening out to the sitting room so that you can keep an eye on the rest of your troops.

When it's time for some coastal adventures, take a stroll down the hill towards Dartmouth's historic maritime centre (five-minute walk – a little longer when you're coming back up!), stopping at its smart shops, galleries, and boutique bistros along the way. Or for a dose of traditional seaside nostalgia, grab your nets and buckets for crabbing on the embankment before fish and chips down at the harbour's quayside – the views of the bobbing boats are delightful. And when the beach finally calls, hop in the car and you'll be on the glorious sheltered bay of Blackpool Sands in five minutes flat.

Heroes Welcome

Once upon a time this unique building was a working mill, but it has since been lovingly restored to create a cosy holiday cottage. The traditional thatched roof and stone walls are typical of Cockington – a historic village nestled in a tranquil wooded valley. Inside, you’ll find vaulted ceilings, wooden beam and plenty of space for a small family or few friends. The terrace is ideal for an alfresco breakfast before you head out to explore – after all, Cockington Country Park is right on your doorstep. The resort town of Torquay is under a mile away, where you’ll find bustling restaurants, sandy beaches and a variety of unique seaside attractions. Everything is easy here – your host will even provide you with a parking permit for some of the local beauty spots, and a delicious complimentary Devon cream tea to indulge in.

Thatch & Stone

This waterfront apartment has bagged itself a prime position on the banks of the River Dart, with views across the water and out to sea. And with two balconies – one off the living area and one off the main bedroom – there’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy them. While the open-plan kitchen is on the small side, it is well-equipped. And if you fancy dining out, just hop on a ferry for the short and scenic trip to Dartmouth, where you’ll find a choice of restaurants and pubs.

Waterside Wonder

Upon the English Riviera, staying in the warm climate of the sophisticated town of Torquay feels like the equivalent of Cannes. Hop off a yacht at Torquay Marina and take an eighteen-minute stroll to this fabulous apartment, fit for any VIP. Upon arrival, your host will have a bottle of wine waiting for you. Before you even start exploring this modern flat, pour yourself a glass and say cheers to the start of the holiday. Do you like a home with a view? Because this one offers several. From its many large windows, you can spot the bay, beaches, harbours, the marina, and of course the big blue sea itself. On a sunny day, we recommend taking a bowl of olives and a chilled prosecco out to the private balcony – pop up the parasol if it gets too hot. Indoors, pristine white and cream interiors make the space feel fresh, with a mint-green sofa which you can sink into after a long day of beachside activities. South Devon might feel distinctly Mediterranean, but you’ll certainly enjoy ending the day with a refreshing cup of Earl Grey.

Step inside this recently modernised Victorian home that's set on one of Kingswear’s most sought-after roads, in the very heart of the village and almost touching the water. With its glass-front, the recent remodel maximises the wonderful views of the River Dart and offers splendid visions all the way out to sea. The open-plan concept and seamless transition of indoor to outdoor living creates a comfortable and luxurious space for those that need a few days of solid rest and recuperation. There's a dash of retro here, with a 1950s inspired long table, and bright and bold colours in the bedrooms. Enjoy a soak in the freestanding tub, feel your toes get toasty in front of the fire, and, as always, be sure to explore your beautiful surroundings. In our opinion, this home is a beautiful landmark of the Devon coastline, away from the busy tourist-heavy beaches – it's the idyllic summer getaway.
