About this property
Tucked away in the beautiful South Devon countryside, this charming dog friendly two-bedroom, cottage in Bigbury village offers the perfect blend of rural calm and easy access to the coast. The cottage boasts stunning sea and countryside views. Set within a small, characterful development of beautifully converted former farm buildings is Tinkers Cottage. It’s an inviting base for families, couples and beach lovers alike.
Inside, the cottage is bright, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need for relaxed self-catering, including a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, large fridge/freezer and a double electric oven – ideal for everything from a quick breakfast to leisurely holiday dinners. The open-plan dining and lounge area is a welcoming space to unwind with two comfortable sofas, a dining table seating six, a modern smart TV, and fast reliable internet.
There are two attractive bedrooms: one with a king-size bed for restful nights sleep, and a second with distant sea views has twin truckle beds – perfect for children or friends. The bathroom features a bath with an over the bath power shower, ideal after a day spent exploring the coast and countryside.
The cottage is especially family friendly, with games basket filled with toys, jigsaw puzzles and board games. Plus a well-stocked bookcase offering local maps and a selection of books for both adults and children. The cottage is dog-friendly, so your four-legged family members can enjoy your holiday too.
Outside, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the surrounding countryside while sitting on the patio with a drink in hand or take yourself off to the communal field just a small distance from the cottage for an energetic family game of ball. The village of St Anne’s Chapel is just moments away, with a friendly local pub/restaurant and a well-stocked convenience store for everyday essentails.
