Galmpton 1.5 miles. Perched in a peaceful courtyard development in Churston Ferrers near Brixham in Devon, is this superb, two-bedroom barn conversion, Baytree Cottage. Boasting a fabulous location near to the local amenities and the South Devon Coast as well as an interior with character and original features, Baytree Cottage makes for a wonderful dwelling for two couples or a family of four who are looking to embark on their next Devon adventure. Park up in the off-road parking space, before unloading your bags and being greeted by a neat front garden with gravel and furniture, ideal for alfresco dining and savouring the last of the day’s sunshine.
Be welcomed into the generous sitting room, where you can look forward to evenings curled up on the plush sofa with a bowl of popcorn in front of your favourite film on the Smart TV with DVD player, as the electric fire adds a glow and warmth to the room. As you start to feel peckish, make your way through to the kitchen/diner, where you can whip up flavourful meals for your guests with the help of the electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher for keeping your space tidy. Settle down at the dining table for four as you savour a delicious meal and make plans for the days ahead.
As your eyes start to grow heavy, climb the stairs up to the first-floor where you will find two well-presented bedrooms, two king-size, one with en-suite bathroom and the other with an en-suite shower. Set out for the day and explore the local area, where you will find Galmpton, home to the welcoming Manor Inn where you can treat your guests to a tasty meal and local ales, perfect for when you fancy a night off from the kitchen. There is also a well-stocked convenience store where you can stock up on ingredients to recreate your favourite holiday dishes in the comfort of Baytree Cottage.
Take advantage of the good selection of excellent sandy beaches within easy reach, including Broadsands Beach and Churston Cove, both provide the perfect setting for enjoying a day bathing in the sun, paddling the shores or building sandcastles with the little ones. Nearby, you will find Brixham, home to a local heritage museum where you can brush up on the local area, a picturesque harbour speckled with eateries for lunch with a view and an excellent nearby golf club for those keen putters. Take the short drive over to Paignton, well-known for its bustling pier, the fantastic water park of Splashdown Quaywest and Paignton Zoo which promises a fun-filled day out.
For a memorable day trip, why not take a ferry over to Dartmouth and explore the wonders of its imposing 14th-century fortress which overlooks the River Dart.
You can find Galmpton, a delightful village between Paignton and Brixham in the Greenway, a beautiful area known for its footpaths and views of the River Dart. You can also take a ferry ride along the River Dart to Dartmouth. Take advantage of the surrounding beaches of Broadsands, Breakwater and Mary’s Bay, perfect for fun-filled family days spent soaking up the sun and paddling in the clear waters.

The cottage is beautiful and the parking was a bonus. I felt it could have been a bit cleaner. Recycling facilities inside the cottage weren't available although it requested that this is expected, we had to buy bin bags ourself. I would suggest coat hooks for downstairs. The information needs updating on Sykes re: loading and offloading on arrival and departure so guest can drive into to courtyard, we found this out from information inside the cottage after we arrived. An outside light for guests arriving in the dark would be good, it took a us while to find the keysafe. All other facilities were good and I would recommended the cottage and may return.

Didn't want to leave. If quaint, cosy cottage is your thing, then Baytree is the perfect place. It sits within a lovely little courtyard, perfect for breakfast outside. So clean, fresh and airy and has everything you'd need. We took all the little things that aren't usually included such as clingfilm and dishwasher tablets, but it was all there. You literally just need your clothes and personal items. The quality of the furnishings etc is top notch. We even had fresh milk left for our arrival, so we could settle in with a cuppa until we ventured out into the town. We had the perfect time in Brixham and our stay at Baytree was a major factor in that. Would highly recommend it and will definitely be returning.
