Honeybee Haven

Discover the very best of South Devon from this enchanting holiday home, a romantic bolthole for two with incredible countryside views. The property is on a quiet country road, just 1.5 miles from the majestic Compton Castle and 2.5 miles from the thriving country community of Ipplepen. A little further away, Newton Abbot (3.5 miles) is a bustling market town on the edge of the River Teign estuary, a gateway to the Dartmoor National Park (10 miles) for endless walks, hikes and bike riding opportunities. Explore the trifecta of English Riviera towns, Torquay (4 miles), Paignton (5 miles) and Brixham (9.5 miles), taking all three in your stead with a walk along the South East Coast Path or a boat ride from one to the other. Attractions in the towns include the Shoalstone Seawater Pool (10.5 miles), Paignton Zoo (5 miles) and the Babbacombe Model Village (4 miles).

This handsome stone cottage is perfectly appointed with everything you’ll need throughout your stay. Notice the handy ground-floor WC as you make your way into the galley kitchen on the ground floor. This lovely, well-equipped space invites you to rustle up a delicious dinner with some locally sourced Devonshire produce. You can sit down together in the lounge/diner, ideally at the dining table that’s been set beneath a sunny window spot. After mealtimes, retire to the sofas, throw a log or two on the wood burner and switch on the TV. When bedtime calls, move on up to the first floor to find a king-size bedroom and adjacent en-suite bathroom.

Completing the property, discover a sunny courtyard directly outside, furnished with a bistro table and chairs allowing you to sit and sip a drink while admiring uninterrupted views of the countryside or feast with an evening BBQ. Elsewhere on site, discover the indoor swimming pool and games room.

For families, high chairs & stairgates are available on request. For infants 1 x travel cots are available to hire for £25 each for cot and bedding, for older children there are 1 x Z-beds to hire for £50 each - payable direct to the owner.
