Sailor's Secret

Nestled in a sleepy village on the South West coast path, this corner of Devon is the perfect place to embrace the slow pace of village life. Crafted in grey stone, this bolthole is equal parts rustic romantic as it is contemporary comfort. The upside-down layout means you'll wake up to views of the small garden in the morning. After a relaxing lie-in, head upstairs for a cup of tea and a delicious breakfast. We love the vaulted ceilings – complete with timber beams – and the squishy L-shaped sofa is just the ticket after a long day. Outside, a small patio is a sweet spot to sip morning coffees and evening cocktails. When you're ready for adventure, don your walking shoes and enjoy a ramble along the coast, rewarding yourself once finished with some hearty fare at the pub down the street. You're also well-connected to Devon's busiest destinations – it's only a fifteen-minute drive from Dartmouth and five minutes from Blackpool Sands – making this an excellent base to call home.
