Sweet as can be, this 1834 cottage makes a cosy base for couples. It's contemporary, but still retains that rustic character – from beams in the bedroom to exposed stone walls. The woodburner sets the mood for chilly evenings, but come summertime, we reckon you'll make a beeline for the garden. Boasting panoramas of the village, church, and surrounding countryside, it's the ideal spot to enjoy an evening tipple. Even better is the bird's-eye view from the upstairs balcony. Location-wise, South Milton is just a stone's throw from sandy beaches and charming Salcombe. For a South Devon getaway, you can't go wrong.

About South Devon
It would be easy to award much of Devon with this accolade, and indeed, 35% of the county is preserved as protected land. But the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the county at its most quintessential.
