UK Holiday Cottages

Sandycoombe, one of a pair of terraced cottages, has been lovingly refurbished and cleverly extended with a spacious sunroom/dining room and raised decking area overlooking a secluded garden and tree lined landscape. Set in a quiet location in the village of Aveton Gifford in the heart of the South Hams in Devon, this delightful cottage is a short walk from the Avon estuary and a pleasant drive from the popular surfing and family beaches of Bantham and Bigbury. Sandycoombe spans 4 floors and is full of character, a welcoming and delightful holiday cottage with a fresh and lively feel.

“A really lovely cottage in a great location. So much to explore, we loved the tidal road walk, beaches were great. Thanks for all the great information you supplied most useful. It would be lovely to think we may return one day . . . P.S. Wild-life spotted in the area has been amazing” Caroline & Dave, Oxford.

“This is a genuine hidden treasure.  When we arrived we couldn’t have imagined that so many lovely places would be right on the doorstep.” Steve and Lorna Dixon.
