About this property

Thornberry, a fabulous dormer bungalow is nestled amongst rolling Devon hills, resting near the hustle and bustle of Salcombe. Enjoying stunning, rural views, whilst well-positioned near the town’s amenities, beach and attractions, Thornberry offers a spacious and fully-equipped base for a family of eight, looking to enjoy a memorable getaway to the coast. Be welcomed by a private driveway, where you can park up, unload your belongings, and take in the breath-taking vistas surrounding your home. Head indoors and relax in the sitting room, complete with plenty of plush seating and a TV with Freeview and a cupboard with plenty of games and books to keep your group entertained and the perfect place to curl up with a good book. The kitchen/diner is well-equipped, including a Smart TV and all the essentials for a self-catered stay, with a neighbouring utility and shower room for convenience; store away your wetsuits and sandy clothes, before taking advantage of the rear garden, a haven for alfresco mealtimes in the sunshine and late-night tipples. Thornberry offers four homely bedrooms, the first of which is a king-size, complete with Smart TV for those lazy mornings. A ground-floor king-size and twin bedroom are also on offer, as well as a further twin room on the first floor; all are serviced by a bathroom and a cloakroom for ease. A handy convenience store, selling the essential items you will need for your stay is a short walk away. Travel into the town to experience its charm and beautiful beachfront, an abundance of boutique shops, and some of the freshest seafood in the UK. A handy bus stop is close by with regular services to Kingsbridge and surrounding villages. Should you wish to take a swim, Salcombe's open-air heated swimming pool is very close by - please check local information for opening times and prices. Venture to Kingsbridge, a market town with a fantastic range of independent shops and traditional pubs, where you can also tour the Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum or stroll alongside the creek, resting within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Journey to Dartmouth, where you can explore the historical attractions and admire the stunning river views, or visit Plymouth for an array of cultural activities, from the National Marine Aquarium to the Plymouth Arts Centre. Whatever you decide, a holiday at Thornberry promises to be one to remember.

Salcombe is a popular destination for walkers and families looking for a holiday by the sea and was once a major port. There are two pretty beaches within a short distance, North Sands and South Sands and further on is the National Trust property Overbeck’s where you can wander through the subtropical gardens. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing, kayaking or a more leisurely boat trip? Whilst staying in Salcombe you must take advantage of the locally sourced seafood which is served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. The southern tip of Devon provides some spectacular scenery and picturesque vistas with a number of sandy beaches, lovely villages with thatched cottages and some fantastic opportunities for walking, including the South West Coast path.

    The house is comfortably furnished & well equipped. ( In contrast the towels provided were rather disappointing, both in size & quality.) The location of the property is conveniently located being near enough for those fit enough to walk into Salcombe. Also the nearby bus stop meant that we made good use of the bus into Salcombe & to various nearby towns. As the picture of the property, on the information provided, is actually of the back of the property, it misled us on arrival. Also having to collect & return the key to the office in Salcombe was for us (all elderly) a major drawback, given the narrow streets, traffic & steep car park.

    We enjoyed our week there with our 21 month old grandson, who loved the space to run around in the house and garden. Great location too. I did find the upstairs double mattress a bit hard and would have liked a mattress topper:) but other than that, a great holiday place
