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.
