About this property
Located on the outskirts of Thurlestone, a picturesque village resting in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Spindell, a three-bedroom bungalow. Enjoying rural views and a short distance to the shoreline, Spindell provides a spacious and well-equipped base for a family of six and their furry companion, looking to explore the delights of the region. Park up on the private driveway before heading indoors, to reach the homely living/dining room; use this space to unwind and socialise, with a rustling woodburning stove to light. Locate the kitchen, fully-equipped for a self-catered stay, where you can prepare delicious meals, ready to be enjoyed upon the front patio or the rear courtyard; both offer delightful suntraps, ideal for those warmer afternoons. As day turns into night, select between three well-appointed bedrooms, including a king-size, a double, and a twin, all serviced by a bathroom. Awaken to either a long soak or a refreshing shower, before heading into Thurlestone, where you can visit a local convenience store, dine out at The Village Inn or treat yourselves to a cream tea at the Thurlestone Hotel. Practice your swing at local golf club, or take in the coastal vistas at the nearby beaches. With Salcombe a car journey away, visit North Sands Beach for a day of relaxation, or enjoy a tour of Overbeck's Garden, whilst the National Trust landscape of East Soar offers the ideal area for hiking, ahead of dining near the seafront at Crab Shed Salcombe. Round off your break near Bigbury Beach or enjoy a further round of golf at Bigbury Golf Club, before returning home in time for sundowners. Gather together at Spindell for a memorable holiday.
The picturesque village of Thurlestone is popular with both beach-goers and watersports enthusiasts, with the beautiful sandy beaches of Thurlestone and South Milton Sands within walking distance. Thurlestone boasts an 18-hole links golf course, a 13th century church, a traditional pub, a post office and the ‘Voyage Spa’, where visitors can enjoy spa treatments or afternoon tea. The sailing town of Salcombe is just a 10-15 minute drive away, and the fishing village of Hope Cove is a short drive away, or can be reached on foot via the South West Coast Path.

The only fault was the large double bedroom was very cold and the bedding & clothes became damp. Apart from that we had a great stay and would return during the warmer months
