A Grade II listed farmhouse draped in ivy, set among the rolling countryside of the South Hams – this Devon retreat earns its place as a serious group escape. Inside, the inglenook sitting room with its wood-burning stove is made for slow evenings, while the vaulted kitchen, with its soaring timber trusses, draws everyone together over long, unhurried meals. Come warmer days, the private terraces are ideal for alfresco dining beneath open skies. Thurlestone Beach, with its famous natural rock arch and golden sands, is about thirteen minutes by car, and South Devon's tidal estuaries are within easy reach too.
