Tucked within the village of South Brent, Bluebell Cottage is the very essence of a “get away from it all” retreat. Once part of this magnificent estate, it offers a peaceful escape amid the untamed beauty of Dartmoor National Park, with Devon’s finest beaches and fishing ports, including Salcombe, Dartmouth and Brixham, all within easy reach.
Step inside through the welcoming porch and into an open-plan living space where rustic charm meets modern comfort. Wooden floors, twin sofas, and a glowing wood burner invite you to unwind on cosy evenings, while the dining area sets the scene for leisurely meals. The separate, well-equipped kitchen features sleek fittings, and all the appliances needed for those slow, indulgent mornings. The marble effect tiled bathroom includes a rainfall shower above the bath, and upstairs, three tranquil bedrooms, a king with en-suite and two doubles, promise a peaceful night’s rest. Outside, a pretty cottage garden with bistro seating is the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening sundowner beneath the Devon sky.
Beyond the village, the surrounding South Hams region is a treasure trove of natural splendour. Dartmoor National Park, just a short drive away, unfolds in a panorama of rugged tors, ancient woodlands and whispering rivers, a haven for walkers, cyclists and lovers of the wild. Spend your days tracing winding trails, spotting wildlife, or perhaps plunging into a hidden pool for a bracing wild swim.
For those drawn to the sea, the South Devon coastline is close at hand. The golden stretches of Bantham, Bigbury and Blackpool Sands beckon with surf, sea swims and sun-drenched relaxation. Nearby, the bohemian market town of Totnes brims with character, its cobbled streets lined with independent shops, artisan cafés and a vibrant weekly market. Follow the River Dart for scenic boat trips or an afternoon of kayaking through peaceful waters.
Whether your days are filled with adventure or unhurried leisure, Bluebell Cottage is the perfect base for exploring the best of Devon, combining rustic charm with modern ease, a serene sanctuary where countryside walks, historic pubs and warm local hospitality await.
