About this property

Bow Cottage is a traditional dog friendly terraced cottage, stylishly furnished and equipped to a very good standard throughout, in a sought-after position in the heart of East Portlemouth village. A pleasant 7/10 minute downhill walk to the sandy beaches of the estuary, this is a wonderful base for exploring the area. The Salcombe ferry runs between East Portlemouth and the main town throughout the year, giving access to the town's shops and pubs. In the High Season, the Harbour Master operates an evening water taxi service too!

The property boasts lovely estuary views from both the front and back, but particularly from the master bedroom. On the ground floor, there is a cosy sitting room and a stylishly finished kitchen with electric Aga, table seating 6, and French doors onto very small balcony with estuary views.

On the first floor, the property has two bedrooms - a double bedroom with superb 6' bed and large picture window, and a twin room with 3' single beds. On the lower ground floor level (below kitchen) is a further open space/den (best suited for children, and adjacent to the bathroom) with a 3' single bed and further 3' mattress on a pull-out truckle base. This room doesn't have a window but is very airy, and is offered only as an alternative sleeping option (maximum occupancy is four plus a baby). The family bathroom is also on the lower floor with roll top bath and power shower.

With a large rear garden and parking usually available outside, guests looking for a comfortable property in a great position need look no further!

East Portlemouth is a peaceful village nestled on the southern edge of the Kingsbridge Estuary in the South Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The small number of properties that make up this settlement are scattered on the hillside and around the cliff, with part of the village once being home to Coastguards employed during the nineteenth century to prevent any smuggling on this section of the South West Coast Path.

Nowadays the village consists of the Venue Café and a number of tiny peaceful beaches, some only accessible by boat, including Fisherman's Cove, Smalls Cove and Mill Bay, all of which have been awarded Safe Bathing status. Further inland situated creekside, is the pretty village of South Pool with its delightful pub, the Millbrook Inn. A haven for food-lovers, this establishment serves a heady combination of fresh English ingredients with traditional Galic cooking. Just across the estuary is the popular sailing town of Salcombe with its charming waterfront, independent boutiques and popular cafés, bars and restaurants, which can be reached easily by passenger ferry. The sandy beaches of North Sands and South Sands are also within easy reach. Further down the coast are the historic naval town of Dartmouth and the bustling city of Plymouth with its museums, aquarium, theatres, shopping and the Barbican.
