This former coastguard cottage has been extensively modified to provide spacious and comfortable accommodation for up to 8 people. There are four bedrooms - two ensuite - and a third bathroom. (Note that one room has bunk beds or a small double).
The sitting room leads straight out on to the patio which has fabulous sea views frequently commented on in the Visitor's Book. You can sit having breakfast here watching the boats go by!
Just beyond the garden is the South West Coast Path and the land around is all owned by the National Trust. There are wonderful walks from right outside the cottage and sandy coves nearby. The area is well known as a favourite with bird watchers. The nearby village of East Prawle is a mile up the road and has a much loved pub with a welcoming atmosphere which also offers food. On Saturdays there is often music in the pub or adjoining hall. In the season there is also a cafe and village shop.
The cottage has all the usual features (washing machine; dishwasher; TV; wood-burning stove etc) and is well equipped. There is also a phone. It is, in fact, a second home for the family and so is very well cared for has a very homely feel. We have many visitors who come back year after year because it is such a wonderful and unique location. Out of sesaon we are happy to negotiate rates for smaller parties and shorter breaks.
Coastguard Cottage
Sleeps: 8
Coastguard Cottage , Devon, South West England
A stunning cottage with fantastic views. Sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms and with 3 bathrooms. Very close to the sea with wonderful views from the patio above the garden. The south west coast path runs along the bottom of the garden. An ideal spot for walking, swimming, bird watching, fishing and just relaxing. Very well appointed and furnished house - a second home, so full of books and well cared for. Many visitors come back year after year. Very quiet as it is well away from the road (which goes nowhere) so there is no passing traffic. Lovely pub and a cafe in nearby village.
