Breakwater View

South Hams coastal villages sit within reach of three beaches and the South West Coast Path, making this corner of Devon popular with walkers and families seeking a quieter seaside break. Breakwater View occupies a straightforward position here: a two-bedroom, one-bathroom property on a single level, sleeping up to four people. The whole cottage is yours alone during your stay.

Inside, everything is on the ground floor. The living and dining area opens onto a patio through double doors, with a smart TV and DVD player for quieter evenings. The kitchen has an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, so you can cook or do laundry as needed. The first bedroom contains a double bed (4ft 6in); the second has bunk beds. A bathroom with a bath and shower serves both. Bed linen and WiFi are included, along with heating and electricity. There is parking for one car in front of the property. The patio has garden furniture; an enclosed courtyard lies to the rear. A highchair is available if you're bringing a younger child. No smoking is permitted inside.

The location suits families and couples looking for a base near water rather than right on a beach—Wembury, with its sandy shore and opportunities for kayaking and paddleboarding, sits close by. Plymouth Sound Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite is nearby if you're exploring the wider area.
