A modern take on the Devon holiday cottage, Green Finger Lodge is surrounded by the picturesque woodlands of the Teign Valley. There are some fantastic walks in the area – a particular favourite takes you through the woods to the local pub. Whether you're after a moment of peace or want to get the group together for an alfresco meal, the long wraparound terrace is a perfect setting to relax with a drink and admire the views and spot some wildlife. There’s also a badminton set (as sell as a games room for when the weather isn’t cooperating). Step inside and instantly feel at ease with the minimalist, modern interiors or retire to one of three bedrooms with generous super king-size beds and an en-suite bathroom each. It would suit a family of five or six, and being on a single level it's practical for those travelling with toddlers, grandparents or even furry friends, so bring them all!

Welcome Hamper

Nice to haves

One glance at this thatched arts and crafts style cottage and you'll feel like you've stumbled into a fairytale. But instead of a faraway kingdom, you'll find this cosy homestead nestled in a quiet corner at the edge of Dartmoor National Park. It's the perfect place to escape to the country – one glance at those striking views over the Teign Valley from the private garden and you'll never want to return to the bustle of city life (we sure didn't). Inside, the magic continues, with an inviting sitting room perfect for family time and a country-style kitchen that has everything you'll need to rustle up a meal. We loved the welcome hamper – host Charles leaves bread, jam, local milk and even fresh flowers to make you feel right at home – and the delightful touches like board games and DVDs provide plenty of entertainment. Enjoy a family game night in front of the fire, curl up with a book in the cushy armchair or spend a chilled evening snuggled up with your favourite films. During the day, don your walking shoes and hit the nearby trails, then, following an afternoon of rambling, reward yourself with a well-earned pint at one of the local pubs. Or, if you'd prefer a bit more liveliness, Exeter is only a twenty-minute drive away.

Less than five minutes from the beach, this small, quaint cottage is a great find for couples or families looking to visit Lyme Regis or explore the Jurassic Coast. The home is able to fit in all the requisite amenities without feeling cramped – the living area, dining table and well-supplied kitchen all fit smoothly into the ground floor, while upstairs you'll find a master bedroom, a bathroom with shower, and a second bedroom with two bunks (ideal for younger guests). As well as being so close to the town's pebbly beaches, the town centre is also on your doorstep, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and even a microbrewery for any discerning grown-ups.

Beachcomber Cottage

Patio / Terrace

Well, the sea and beach views from this apartment’s private balcony are stunning. You can enjoy the vistas from this home’s large windows in the living room, too. The bedroom is compact, and there’s not much storage here, but there is a wardrobe in the utility. Also, the kitchen is on the small side – that said, it has everything you need and there’s an array of eateries a short stroll away. And, of course, the beach is footsteps away. This place is the perfect base for exploring all that Dorset has to offer.

Paid Parking On Street

This Jurassic Coast home is at the heart of picturesque Lyme Regis. Located on the main street, you’ll be within strolling distance of everything the town has to offer – so fossil-hunting, shopping, and eating out will be a breeze. The home provides plenty of opportunities for relaxation, whether you're unwinding in the wood-fired hot tub, soaking up the sun in the conservatory, or dining alfresco in the garden. We think this hidden gem is ideal for a couple or solo traveller wanting a laid-back stay in a central spot.

Outdoor Seating

The fact that this timber-framed building is fuelled exclusively by renewable resources and built with ecology in mind makes staying here even sweeter. This bright and gorgeous cabin is equipped with everything you need to relax and tune into nature, starting with the covered outdoor hot tub and a bright open-plan living space that will protect you from the elements. During the colder months, the wood-burning stove provides the perfect atmosphere for a night in, and the fact that the cabin is encased in glass from two sides means that you'll always have a great view of the countryside. The nearby village of Holcombe Rogus has lots of beautiful nature to explore. However, it's a great jumping-off point for trips further afield. The city of Exeter is only a twenty-minute drive away if you want to spend an afternoon in a more urban environment, while day trips to the stunning beaches of the north and south coasts are well within reach, as are Exmoor and Dartmoor national parks.

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.

Located in the picturesque village of Harrowbarrow, with sweeping views of the Cornish countryside and Tamar Valley, this Grade II-listed building is sure to impress. Inside, it’s thoroughly up to date with a sleek white and grey colour scheme. The double-height ceilings and clever use of glass make the place feel extra spacious and bright, while a wood-burning stove adds a sense of cosiness. When the weather is on your side, spill out onto the south facing patio for sunshine all day long. After a tasty barbecue lunch, ramble through Kit Hill Country Park or take the thirty-five-minute drive down to Tregantle Beach for wind-whipped walks along the unspoilt sands. Come home in the late afternoon, salty-haired and ravenous, and dig into hearty fare at the traditional pub, just a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep. 

The Chaplain

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

If you love the thought of drifting to sleep while gazing up at the stars, this dreamy cabin could be the holiday home for you. The cabin is tucked away in a lush garden in a romantic setting that will make you instantly forget any of the worries of day-to-day life. It’s a studio-style cabin with one wall entirely made of glass, blending the interior and exterior. A skylight above the bed means you’ll go to sleep each night staring straight up at the stars. 

The cabin is based just outside of Launceston in Cornwall, close to the border of Devon. It’s brilliantly located for outdoorsy adventures, whether you’re keen on surfing or prefer to explore the countryside on foot. Dartmoor National Park is twenty-seven minutes away by car, with its wealth of wonderful hikes and cycling trails. You might take a day-trip to St Isaac to paddle in the sea and eat fish and chips and ice cream at the shore – it takes forty-three minutes to drive there, and it’s well worth the trip. 

After a day of exploring Cornwall and its gems, you can look forward to sipping wine on the terrace. Perhaps you’ll cook dinner on the barbecue before enjoying a relaxing bubble bath in the beautiful copper tub. Or to take the romance to the next level, you might soak in the hot tub under the stars. It’s impossible to leave here feeling stressed out.

Our Cabin

Rooftop Terrace

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

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.

Fly Away Seabird

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

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

Home Cinema Setup

Positioned overlooking Start Bay on the south coast of Devon, this home has been thoughtfully put together, making the most of its incredible views. Architect designed using a combination of steel, glass and stone, there's more than a hint of a Mediterranean feel to the place. The interiors are elegant and luxurious, with rooms spread across four floors and encompassing a self-contained studio apartment. With all eyes on the rolling hills and the seascape to the rear, the design features several balconies and terraces – all offering places to sit and take it all in. There's so much to love about this home, but some of our favourite features are the cinema room, the floor-to-ceiling views from the dining table and the choice of terraces outside where you can eat your meals together. By day you can explore the coastal paths and villages, or drive to Salcombe or Dartmouth in less than half an hour. If you're bringing your bucket and spade, you'll be pleased to know the beach at Slapton Sands is just a five-minute drive away.

Terraces For Days

Perched on the seafront in Lyme Regis, this second-floor apartment offers postcard-worthy panoramas that won't disappoint. Sit back, relax, and watch the tide roll in from the leather armchairs – thanks to the large windows, the scenery is always front and centre. Even better is the small balcony, the perfect spot for a glass of wine as the sun goes down. The apartment is a great size for two, though a third guest could be accommodated on a sofa bed with prior notice. And the location? You can't beat it. A steep passageway leads directly to the beach, putting the saltwater and single shore right on your doorstep.

Just a five-minute stroll from Salcombe's waters, you'll find this seaside beauty housed in a handsome Georgian villa apartment surrounded by landscaped gardens.

Inside, this place is the epitome of good taste – and we'd expect nothing less from arguably the prettiest village on the South Devon coast. The interior designer host has effortlessly nailed coastal chic, fusing muted blues and greys, tasteful seascapes on the wall, and dashes of driftwood.

Sunny mornings call for lazy alfresco breakfasts in your private garden to steal a glimpse of the nearby sea, hills and fields beyond. Meanwhile, kids and furry friends can run off some energy on the lawns  – the village park, just a one-minute walk away, can help with that too. 

When it's time for some seaside nostalgia, spend bucket-and-spade days down on Salcombe's sandy beaches – just a twenty-minute scenic stroll along the coastal path past the ruins of the village's castle fort. Up the ante with sailing, kayaking, and surfing on the estuary (a five-minute stroll away). Or mooch along to the cafes, restaurants, traditional pubs and ice cream parlours of the village's well-heeled high street (two minutes from your door) – you'll be in good company.

Salcombe Seascape

Smart TV

Overlooking the Marine Parade, this apartment is a great option if you’re looking to experience the vibrant heart of Lyme Regis. It’s worth noting it’s possible to hear street noise from the neighbouring bar, but you will have incredible sea views from the cosy living room. A car parking permit can be supplied on request. Plus, you’ll find everything you could need within easy reach. Stroll to the beach or adventure further along the Jurassic Coast towards Sidmouth and Axminster. 

The Way by the Sea

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 brainchild of a celebrated interior designer, this North Devon townhouse has got it all figured out. Located a couple of minutes’ drive from Croyde beach, where you’ll spend long days surfing and soaking up the salty sea breeze, the inside of the home is beautifully sophisticated, with subtle nautical nods—we loved the knot wallpaper and delicate fish shoal light shade. The bunks in the children’s room will be a hit with mini swashbucklers, while the pizza oven on the patio should keep big kids quiet for a while. You’ll find the pretty village of Croyde a five-minute amble down the road, offering a charming selection of tea rooms, ice cream parlours and thatched pubs. After a hearty roast dinner, retreat home to the outdoor hot tub before turning in for the night in those luxurious king-size beds.

Sitting in the middle of a thirty-acre farm in the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this barn conversion is a fittingly impressive home for such an idyllic location. 

There are plenty of spots from which you can gaze out at the pretty meadows, woodland and the banks of the River Tamar that surround the address, whether that's out through the floor-to-ceiling windows that line the main living space or while seated on the roof terrace bordered by a leafy pergola. However, the home's interior is well worth your attention, too. Certain features have been retained from the building's industrious past, including wooden ceiling beams and exposed stonework, but otherwise, the design is bright and contemporary.

The number of amenities available to guests distinguishes this home from the pack. Not only is there a homely wood-burning stove in the main space, but there's a games room with a ping-pong table and darts board in a section that was once a cattle shed, plus lots of equipment for outdoor games beside the forecourt and lawned area. Here you will find tables, benches and additional seating for your exclusive use and space to stoke up barbecues and challenge the group to a variety of games.

Elsewhere on the site, there are the ruins of a silver and lead mine accompanied by the pumping engine house and smithy, part of the industrial landscape recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are other footpaths that lead off into the countryside, but you can also stroll down to the banks of the River Tamar, on which there's a two-hour window every day when it's safe to use it for water sports.

Fenced Property

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.

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.

For a holiday that is sure to please the whole family, head to Bucket & Spade for an unforgettable trip to the Devonshire coast. Nestled into the charming village of Seaton, this open-concept home is just a short way from the area's shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as the beach. Spend your days building sandcastles and splashing around in the sea before heading home to this modern, yet cosy space. Let the children make the most of the huge backyard, while the adults enjoy a drink on the patio, then shuffle inside and get comfortable in front of the wood-burning fire for a truly relaxing evening. 

Bucket & Spade

This seventeeth–century property overlooks the sparkling blue waters of the seaside town, Brixham. Situated next to the charming harbour, you're only a short stroll away from the waterside. Head up the three-tiered garden to admire the view from atop. You'll be greeted with clear skies, the hum of the waters, and the sounds of the harbour. 

The large windows throughout the home light up the space as you play on the vintage arcade table that offers the classical Space Invaders and Pacman. Whoever gets to sleep in the Captain's Cabin bedroom gets a gorgeous view of the surrounding harbour right from the comfort of their own bed – imagine waking up next to that blissful sight every morning.

The beautiful yet convenient location makes this the perfect place to reside on a family getaway to a seaside town. There's a fantastic selection of eateries by the harbour front as well as a cosy pub that serves delicious local produce. Wander the streets of Brixham to discover a ton of local hidden gems and treat yourself to sugary sweet treats and savory snacks.

Captain Curious

Set in the heart of bustling Salcombe, this former fisherman's cottage is a delightful place to call home. As you can expect, the interior has plenty of coastal charm, though it is a tad snug upstairs. All the contemporary comforts are accounted for, be it underfloor heating or White Company toiletries. Evenings call for cocktails in the front courtyard – there's a distillery just across the street where you can sample local gin. Also within walking distance are Salcombe's artisan shops, independent eateries, and picturesque harbour, perfect for dog walks in the sun.

Wind & Sail

Sauna

Just outside Salcombe, this two-storey home places you amongst rolling hills and an idyllic lake. The living areas, offering up incredible views, are perfect spots for relaxing after a hike, but it's outdoors where this home really comes to life – there are 2.5 acres of private gardens to explore, and the home even has its own private slipway on the lake. Fancy trying out paddleboarding? Speak with your host to arrange to hire a couple throughout your stay.
