Charming Great Value Cottage Children Will Love

Our cottage in an idyllic South Hams village is perfect for an easy, fun-filled family holiday. Fantastic estuary walks, charming playground, village shop and pub, Bantham beach, Kingsbridge + Hope Cove a short drive. Cottage is our second home so we’ve furnished it with love. From vintage toys, bunk beds, and games for the kids, to comfy sofa and bed, books, maps and a brilliantly equipped kitchen, our stylish cottage has everything you need. Brilliant location and great value for money. The cottage is pretty, comfortable and well equipped. Downstairs is an open plan living room and dining area with wooden floors, a rug, tv, DVD player, electric stove, and a rustic dining table and wooden chairs. An archway leads through into a galley kitchen which has everything you need if you’re a keen cook. Microwave and dishwasher. There is a separate utility room with brand new washing machine and tumble dryer and a pretty tiered garden. You can easily access the property as we have a key safe outside. We live in Bristol 2 hours away but can be contactable via email or phone but we will provide a local point of contact in case of emergency. Aveton Gifford is a fantastic village with a thriving community full of young families. We love it because it’s just so easy with the children. They make friends in the playground, play football and cricket in the playing field, play tennis, and we are always going on amazing walks along the estuary where it feels like you’ve stepped straight out of an Enid Blyton book. The village is also brilliant for walkers with a huge variety of footpaths on the doorstep. There are spectacular walks to the beaches at Bigbury or Bantham. The idyllic estuary is also a magnet for kayakers and paddle-boarders but be sure to check tide times before heading out. Amazing restaurants nearby such as The Oyster Shack just down the road and Aune Valley Farm Shop a short drive away. We’ve got all the best beaches on the doorstep. Surf at Bantham, try the Discovery Surf School or take the sea tractor to Burgh Island at Bigbury, swim in the warm outdoor pool in Salcombe or learn to sail, or let the kids go wild on the family friendly Hope Cove sands. We are a 10 minute drive from both Kingsbridge and Modbury both pretty and characterful market towns lined with butchers, delis, amenities and supermarkets. Dartmoor, Totnes and Plymouth with its Aquarium are only half an hour away. There is a bus from Kingsbridge and Plymouth but I would really recommend a car. Trains to London from Totnes. Parking is a 3 min walk down the road or through playground at village car parks. These are at the village shop and next to the Village pub. You can unload / drop off outside the front door. We will send you a fantastic list of all our secret places to eat, favourite walks and best beaches, so you’ll get the insiders guide to The South Hams.
