Goodshelter Barns & The Boathouse

About this property

The Goodshelter Barns and The Boathouse are part of an ancient farmstead located on the edge of the pretty Kingsbridge/Salcombe estuary in South Devon. Set in six acres in a beautiful sheltered valley this ancient farmstead is now forms a small group of charming cottages that hug the side of a gentle slope that rambles down to the beautiful tidal creek of Goodshelter. Here you can wander through the field to the 800 ft private foreshore, row one of the dinghies provided round to South Pool to the pub (tides permitting!), barbecue by the old lime kiln on the foreshore and revel in the views of this dreamy stretch of water. The tiny hamlet of Goodshelter is just a mile from East Portlemouth, the lovely beaches of Millbay and Sunny Cove and from there, a ferry ride to the popular town of Salcombe. The cottages are alongside a courtyard shared with the owner’s home, and the converted Boathouse. The grounds slope down to the Creek and provide very comfortable, well furnished and flexible accommodation. A Wayfarer sailing dinghy is available for use by the experienced as well as a couple of rowing dinghies, but entirely at guests' risk, (ask for details). The Goodshelter Barns and The Boathouse are a wonderful place for a large reunion of friends or family, all in the most idyllic position.
