Skippers Hill Cottage
Skippers Hill Cottage a charming, very spacious detached cottage, is tucked on the side of a very peaceful valley in the tiny hamlet of Waterhead, enjoys fine country views and is a ten minute walk from the beautiful Avon estuary that meanders on to the wide expanses of golden sands at Bantham and Bigbury on Sea, possibly the finest beaches in the South Hams. Close to the village of Aveton Gifford, with a good pub and village shop, this recently refurbished cottage with its fine beamed ceilings and very comfortable ambience is ideal for cosy evenings around the wood burner or summer days walking the many footpaths, enjoying the wildlife of the Avon estuary or lazing on the fine beaches near at hand. Whatever the time of year, this is an ideal holiday cottage.
