Idyllic, peaceful retreat near beaches and walks.

My place is close to Modbury, South Devon. You’ll love my place because of its peace, rural location and lovely views. Close to Kingsbridge, Salcombe and South Hams coastline walks.. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers. The apartment is a self contained wing of a devon longhouse, in a quiet setting one mile from Modbury; a lovely place to retreat , with books, open fire and TV available. Nights are quiet (apart from the occasional barn owl) and the lack of light pollution means you can see the myriad stars. Modbury has three pubs, all serving food, a bistro and two takeaways. It's a friendly, all year round community. The towns of the south hams (Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Totnes) are all within easy reach, and Dartmoor is fifteen minutes to the north. In addition to the apartment, guests are free to use the large front garden as well as a private courtyard to the rear, which has a table and chairs for sunny mornings. It's a great place to enjoy croissants and coffee before setting off for the day. We keep free range hens, and will leave a supply of eggs for your arrival. You are welcome to buy more eggs! Our hens are mainly Burford Browns, with a smattering of Cotswold Legbars (pale blue eggs). We supply the local café and sell to many local families. Beautiful devon countryside surrounds us. Our neighbours are south devon cattle on one side, and horses on the other. Modbury is an attractive Georgian town which was the first town in the UK to go 'plastic free', over five years ago. Public transport is not wonderful. A car, or bike, is really needed to get around. There will be starter supplies of logs and coal if you'd like a fire. Newspapers may be ordered from the Post Office, and will be delivered to the gate. We have 'wifi with boosters', as the house walls are nearly two feet thick, but these usually work fine.
