About this property

Enjoy the delights of a dog-friendly country getaway while being within easy reach of the seaside. This fabulous modern property is located in Down Thomas, only 1 mile from Bovisand Beach, and with several other beaches within 10 miles where you can enjoy a swim, snorkel, sunbathe or time building sandcastles one day, hike the coastal path the next, and also explore the beautiful scenery further inland. Flexible bedrooms, all with en-suites, makes it a great choice for couples, friends or families. The attractions of Woodlands Family Theme Park and Pennywell Farm are both within 23 miles, and when you return home there’s no need to cook – simply book a delicious meal in the acclaimed pub next door. For shopping, visiting galleries or trying out some restaurants, the city of Plymouth is only 6 miles.

The open-plan living space is full of light and boasts a Smart TV – perfect for movie nights as you lounge on the large sofa. In the elegant kitchen area, you’ll find everything you’ll need for cooking up tasty holiday meals, with an adjacent dining table and bench seating that’s ideal for sociable gatherings. The first of the three super king-size bedrooms is on the ground floor, with an en-suite bathroom featuring a shower over the bath.

When you feel like some fresh Devon air, push open the glazed doors in the lounge and step into your private garden, with its small lawn and furnished patio.
