Little Oak, Holbeton

About this property

Beautifully remote, Little Oak offers the perfect change of pace. Sitting amidst the spectacular scenery of the South West Coast, Little Oak is attached to the grand Harlequin House, and serves as a laidback luxury family home set in a sprawling country estate in rural Devon. With two acres of lush green gardens, tennis courts and a private beach just moments away, this dog friendly seaside home for six is the perfect base from which to explore the area.

Part of the main house — but not overlooked and with its own private entrance — Little Oak contains 3 beautifully light and spacious bedrooms. One, a deeply comfy super king and the other both classically beautiful twin rooms, all the bedrooms have beautiful egyptian cotton bedding and soaring sash windows. There is a substantial limestone wetroom with a large rainfall shower and a charming duck egg blue family bathroom. There is a sweet cottage style kitchen with gorgeous views of the garden, and a light filled dining area that leads into the sitting room, boasting a roaring open log fire.

Outside is your private portion of garden, from which hares, owls, buzzards and woodpeckers are sometimes spied. The outdoor dining area is sun drenched in summer time, and families can enjoy long leisurely lunches or games of croquet on the lawn. There are fabulous club sized private tennis courts too and a private beach just seconds away for guests staying on the estate. Dogs are most welcome everywhere and children can run and play until their hearts content.

Here there is absolutely no traffic noise or light pollution, so you can sit and enjoy sensational views of the valley with the salty sea breeze in your hair, and relax knowing you're in a genuine rural idyll. Guests of Little Oak have ample private parking, so it's totally a hassle free coming and going as you please.

Walkers are well placed: perfectly positioned to make the most of the South West Coastal Path and for explorers to discover hidden coves, secluded lagoons and sandy bays. From here, you can just as easily explore the rugged beauty of the undulating Devon countryside as well as making day trips to near by Hope Cove, Salcombe, Thurlestone and South Milton.

Two well behaved dogs welcome at an extra charge
