About this property

Nestled amongst Devon’s rolling fields in Galmpton near Hope Cove and a short drive to Salcombe, Thurlestone and Malborough in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is Sou West. This idyllic, detached holiday home benefits from a bright and airy interior adorned with contemporary appliances and chic decor, four beautifully-appointed bedrooms, a wonderful rear garden with far-reaching countryside views and a an excellent location close to the coast; the perfect base for families or friends looking to explore Devon with their beloved canine companions. After a day full of exploration, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and head straight for the spacious sitting room where you can unwind on the plush, L-shaped sofa in front of the gentle warmth of the gas flame-effect stove and Smart TV. Later, head into the fully-equipped kitchen/diner to rustle up a tasty meal to be enjoyed around the dining table; on warmer evenings, why not step outside to the rear garden where you can fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco with a memorable backdrop. On chillier evenings the snug provides breath-taking views across the countryside while allowing you to stay warm; when the evening draws to a close, wash off the day’s adventures in either the ground-floor shower room or the sleek bathroom on the first floor. After freshening up, catch up on your rest in either king-size bedroom on the ground floor or the super-king and king-size on the first. If you can tear yourself away from this delightful dwelling, take a short drive into Malborough where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials at local convenience stores and treat your loved ones to a break from the kitchen with a delicious meal at one of the many local restaurants. Devon’s spectacular coast is also within reach, take a leisurely 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive to Hope Cove; bask in the sun on Mouthwell Sands or join the South West Coast Path to marvel at the stunning sea vistas from Bolt Tail scenic point. The coast path is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts as it spans an impressive 630 miles, meandering through charming coastal villages with endless attractions and beautiful views. Other must-sees include Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Dartmoor National Park which boasts its own zoo! Make memories at Sou West.

Malborough is a charming community full of thatched houses, a flourishing post office, and a village shop as well as two great country pubs. About two miles separate you from the southernmost town in the South Hams, Salcombe, a popular sailing destination. Salcombe's stunning coastline makes it a wonderful place to go sailing, participate in other water activities, go for a walk along the shore, or just relax in the sun. Visit the nearby country estates and gardens, or take a trip to the charming market town of Kingsbridge, where you can people-watch and learn about the local fauna. Alternately, Dartmoor is about 15 miles away and features vast fields and craggy tors. A wonderful holiday spot with enough to do.

    Fly infestation (many dead on the floor), Clothes were left in a draw, paintbrushes out in the utility. The heating thermostat deosn't work. No wifi in one of the bedrooms (teenage angst ensues!) Dripping inbetween the downstairs bedroom... I sent some more complete feedback to Coast & Country. Could be a great house, but just felt a little unloved in the detail areas.

  • Carole

    Great location with country views from the garden and easy walk to the beach. Only niggle was the lack of instructions for waste disposal and recycling bins. No baby/toddler equipment provided but actually if you take cot, stairgate and high chair with you as we did, the house is very child friendly.

  • David

    Very comfortable, everything was provided and the whole house is so well equipped. We found the property really easily and the arrival worked as planned with key safe. Found the Wi-Fi a little tricky to get established. Had to reboot several times. The kitchen equipment and all around the house was excellent. Beds comfy, bathrooms excellent. There was no information on how to dispose of waste. We segregated everything and left in porch, but didn't know what day to put out on road for collection. We know the area quite well from previous visits but this part of Devon is absolutely stunning. Visitors to Sou West will not be disappointed.
