About this property

Cleave Cottage is a characterful, Grade II listed cottage boasting a charming thatched roof and sitting within the South Devon AONB, near Bigbury-on-Sea. Surrounded by countryside and within close proximity to the stunning coastline, this is a home-from-home just perfect for that much-needed family break. Get a sense of this property's character from the moment that you step into the living/dining room, an alluring layout enhanced by rustic features such as the flagstone flooring and exposed wooden beams, an electric-effect woodburner rests in a stunning stone fireplace for that added touch of warmth. A flourish of quirky knick-knacks line the walls, giving it a quaint feeling.

Next to this, a pleasant kitchen provides quarry tile flooring and cream-coloured units which host a handy range of fixtures and fittings to make use of. From here, you have access to the delightful family bathroom, offering a shower over the bath. A set of steep, old-style stairs (no handrail) bring you to the welcoming first floor, the layout is ideal for families as the twin room can only be accessed from the master double bedroom. A sizeable, enclosed garden rests peacefully to the back of Cleave Cottage, there is a choice of places to sit and unwind.

    The cottage is lovely,clean and well-equipped. It is in a good position andvery handy for Bigbury Beach and Burgh Island. The lighting was brighter this time and, once the cottage had warmed up, it was very comfortable and cosy. Would highly recommend .

  • Stewart

    A great place to unwind and perfectly situated for Bigbury beach which is dog friendly and has crystal clear water. A 20 minute car journey and you are in the heart of Plymouth with plenty of shops and a great outdoor lido. Plenty of places to eat within a 10 minute car journey of the cottage, best to book in advance at peak times. Beautiful scenary and a great garden at the cottage to relax and enjoy the sunshine. We will be looking forward to coming back next year.

    Secondly the cottage wasn’t the cleanest and the bed was ridiculously hard and uncomfortably, having said that the cottage was quaint, and characterful but we will not be returning.
