UK Holiday Cottages

Meadow Barn Cottage, formerly a small stone barn, is a delightful and comfortable cottage, set to one end of a small group of properties alongside the road that leads to the village of East Portlemouth. The cottage overlooks beautiful rolling countryside, fields and meadows. Located in a rural, elevated position, a short distance from the village, an abundance of wild flowers and grasses border the country lanes that weave their way around this quiet backwater of the South Hams. The Salcombe Kingsbridge estuary in one direction and open sea in another make it a wonderful place to explore, within easy reach of the South West Coastal path, sandy beaches and coves, all of which make this part of the coast so popular with holiday makers. At East Portlemouth there is a foot passenger ferry to Salcombe, with its fashionable shops, pubs, gourmet restaurants and picturesque sailing activities.
