Description

A Devon cream tea welcomes you! Relax and unwind in this newly refurbished characterful cottage, situated in this quintessential Devon village. Kingston, just a short walk from Wonwell Beach and the stunning Erme Estuary, is a sought after village in the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is a thriving community with a pub, church, recreation park and village hall, all within walking distance of the cottage. The neighbouring village of Ringmore (a 35 minute walk) has the Journey's End Inn, an award winning pub, offering real ale and excellent food.

Nearby is the magnificent South West coastline, offering fine coastal walks, beaches and coves, with sailing at Salcombe, Dartmouth, Totnes and Newton Ferrers. 18 hole golf courses are available at Thurlestone and Bigbury, and Dartmoor National Park is within easy reach to the North. Indoor and outdoor tennis is available at the local towns of Ivybridge and Kingsbridge with water sports facilities and lessons at Kingsbridge, Bigbury on Sea, Salcombe and Bantham, all within a 20 minute drive. .

The picturesque Georgian town of Modbury is only 3 miles away. Some two hundred years ago it was extremely prosperous being the local market town and a centre for the wool trade. Today there is a good range of local shops including a butcher, baker, grocers, hardware store, chemist, delicatessen and a number of gift and antique shops. The larger town of Kingsbridge, offering a greater and wider range of recreation and commercial facilities, is approximately 8 miles away.

he cottage has its own entrance and private front and rear garden. Located in a conservation area, the gardens are full of interesting plants and trees with several seating areas. Steeped in history, the cottage was originally a potters and fisherman’s cottages and include Kingston’s last remaining donkey house! (No donkey now!).

Originally a potter’s cottage, Clematis, has front and back doors from the gardens. The front garden has a terrace with table and chairs and the rear garden has a picnic table and bbq. The rear door opens into a utility room with storage, a washing machine and tumble drier. The cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin lead off this room. A door from the utility room leads to the an attractive dual aspect, fully equipped kitchen and dining area which leads directly onto the terrace. Next door is a large sitting room with an open fire and exposed beams. On the first floor are two en-suite bedrooms, one with a super king size bed (or twin beds if required), the other is a double bedroom (king sized bed) also en-suite. Both rooms have views over the garden and the village.

Quality linen, towels, electricity and heating costs are included, together with one nights supply of logs. Eco friendly cleaning products are provided for your use at the cottage, including dishwasher tablets. Tesco, Sainsbury and Waitrose deliver groceries to the cottage. Please feel free to arrange a delivery from 11am on the day of your arrival but please let me know in advance and I will arrange for frozen and fresh products to be put away for you. Private catering, baby sitting and dog walking is also available by arrangement. The cottage has a good broadband internet connection and private parking off the public road, within the grounds of the property. Additional parking or boat store is available at our own home a 15 minute walk away. Please note, smoking is strictly forbidden in this property and the grounds. Lockable storage is available for bikes and beach equipment.
The area is incredibly dog friendly with our local beaches and pubs welcoming dogs throughout the year. Clematis cottage is very old and some of the doorways are small - just a note of caution for taller guests!

Comfortable and cosy stay

By Beth Winsor on 27-Sep-2024

We stayed at both Clematis and Rose Cottages with extended family. It was a great set-up for us as we can be together, and yet have our own personal space when needed. The cottages are both comfortable and cosy, with everything we could possibly need. There were lovely walks from the doorstep and the pub in the village was also great! It has easy access to the coast as well, which we really made the most of. We had a great week-end and can highly recommend!

Lovely cottages in great location

By Karen & family, husband, kids, sister & father on 26-Jul-2024

We had a wonderful stay, rented the two properties as travelling with whole family. Great welcome pack which was a lovely surprise, clean properties both well equipped. Nice fabrics which give a warm welcoming look. Good outside space, we enjoyed the patio connecting both properties for sitting in the late afternoon sunshine. If renting just one property they both have their own gardens too. Great walks from the property. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We would all visit again.

Lovely cottage
