About The Stables
‘The Stables’ is a large, single storey detached cottage with its own private garden, situated on the farm, in the heart of rural South Hams, with beaches just 7 minutes’ drive away. There are footpaths that run directly from the property into the surrounding countryside and for the keen walkers, it's possible to walk all the way to the beach. There are the most fabulous, far-reaching views from the garden and fields with distant views of the sea and rolling countryside. There is private parking right outside the door and with no steps to navigate, this cottage is perfect for those with limited mobility as well as couples, or friends, that seek a retreat in the middle of the countryside, on a quiet farm.
There is so much wildlife around and beautiful dark skies for late night star gazing or keen photographers.
Accommodation
This modern and very spacious cottage covers 580 sq. ft and is all on one floor, making it perfect for those with limited mobility. With tasteful decoration and good attention to detail, the cottage is fabulously well equipped with a modern kitchen and a modern shower room with heated floor.
The extremely large bedroom boasts a double and single bed so a stay in The Stables is equally suited to friends, as much as it is couples. All towels and Egyptian cotton linen are provided, and our beds are extremely comfortable. Please note, however, that you will need to bring beach towels with you.
The open plan living area is large and bright and has oodles of space for those who like to spread out.
Overall, the cottage is very comfortably furnished and there are DVDs, books and games for cosy nights in. Information, guidebooks and maps are provided to help you plan your stay. There is efficient electric heating for chilly nights.
Previous guests have commented on how large the property is in comparison to the pictures and how well equipped it is, and for those that use mobility aids, there is loads of room to manoeuvre inside the property.
Guest Access
You may use all the facilities provided within the building and your own private garden.
Parking couldn't be easier and is right outside your door on smooth concrete, with a path leading straight to the door. This makes it easy for people with mobility issues to access the building and there is also room to turn your car around.
There is a well fenced garden from the door, meaning dogs and children can play outside safely. We are happy for you to take walks in the adjoining fields that belong to us. Please keep your dogs on a lead when there are animals in the fields and pick up after them.
There are plenty of footpaths running from the accommodation all the way to the nearby beaches of Slapton and Torcross and it is an excellent area for walkers. We are also on National Cycle Route 28 for those keen on cycling and can offer a locked area to safely store your bikes.
Well behaved dogs are welcome by request, at the Owners’ discretion. There is a charge of £25 for dogs to stay. We do ask that dogs are kept on a lead in the garden area as we also have free-range and much-loved cats. However, at the back of the property there are 30 acres where you can let your dog’s free for a good run around, provided there are no livestock in the fields. We allow an absolute maximum of two medium-large dogs and three small dogs.
Please do not leave your dogs unattended in the property and we kindly ask that they are kept out of the bedroom and off the furniture.
