In this light and airy space, cook up a storm, and enjoy your meal at the dining table, before settling into the sitting area with a good book, as the woodburning stove warms your feet. From here, access the enclosed, rear garden, ideal for dining alfresco, with the added bonus of a barbecue where you can put your culinary skills to the test. Shake the sand from your skin with a relaxing bath or warm shower, in either the bathroom or shower room, both with sleek décor and eye-catching star tiles. As the evening wears on, retire to one of the four well-presented bedrooms, choosing between two super-king-size rooms, a twin zip/link, and a twin room with two singles, each with their own character and charm. This property is settled into the countryside of Devon, close to attractions such as National Trust - Little Dartmouth, Fast Rabbit Farm Gardens, and Woodlands Family Theme Park.

For all of your holiday essentials, visit the popular seaside town of Dartmouth, which offers plenty of shops, pubs, and eateries, with options including Greek Delight, The Dartmouth Arms, and the Cherub Inn. The town boasts the intriguing and historic Dartmouth Castle, Dartmouth Museum where you can learn more about local history and heritage, and Bayard's Cove Fort. There are plenty of sports for birdwatching along this stretch of coast, including Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve, or alternatively lace up your walking boots and explore the stunning scenery of the South Devon Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visit Paignton where there is a Zoo, beach, pier, and lovely cafés to enjoy tea and café in, as well as watersports facilities. Make a memorable getaway to Devon with a stay at Captains Lodge.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
