Bluewhistle Cottage

Bluewhistle Cottage opens into an open-plan living space that flows onto a rooftop terrace—the kind of layout that lets a group spread out without feeling separate. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms serve up space for six, with a sauna on the property itself. The cottage sits within a 14-acre private estate, where guests also have the run of an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a shared hot tub, tennis court and children's play area. A garden with barbecue, bike store and private parking come as standard.

The South Hams location works equally well for coastal days—Dartmouth and Salcombe are both within reach—or inland into Dartmoor. Electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are covered. The property is non-smoking. Cots and highchairs are available if needed.
