If you are looking for a self catering holiday cottage in the beautiful South Hams region of South Devon, we can also offer to rent, through Helpful Holidays, two delightful cottages.

 

The place - Kingston: remarkably off-the-beaten-track little village (good pub, church) with lots of pretty houses, a mile from the River Erme’s beautiful wooded estuary and good sandy Wonwell beach. St Ann’s Chapel (PO/shop), 1 mile. More fine sandy beaches and golf at Bigbury-on-Sea/Burgh Island, 4 miles; for shops, pretty Modbury, 3½ miles.

 

The cottages - Two marvellously pretty 18th cent. or earlier semi-detached cottages with communal terrace, but each with own entrance and enclosed private garden. Both are south-facing, partly slate-hung, and 200 yards from the good pub. Both gardens are delightful, unusual, with many interesting plants and Kingston’s last remaining donkey house (no donkey now)

The Pottery is beautifully restored: original beams throughout (some low ceilings), delightful. From a quiet lane, entrance via the old herb garden with patio (table/chairs, barbecue) to entrance with tiled floor (washing machine, tumble drier); cloakroom (loo/washbasin). Steps down to well-kitted out kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, microwave, freezer) with butler sink, beams, small dresser, old pine dining table. Lovely large living room with Victorian open fireplace, old prints, CD player, books, games and videos. Steep stairs (rope rail) from living room up to two bedrooms - one double (5’ bed), one twin, both with en suite bathrooms (suites plus bath-showers). Phone. No smoking
