Rockpool Retreat

South Hams has a quieter character than the busier stretches of Devon's coast, and Rockpool Retreat sits within a mile of the water while rooted firmly in the countryside. The property itself is a substantial cottage sleeping eight across four bedrooms, with three bathrooms to match—a practical setup for families or groups who need genuine space rather than cramped quarters. The ground floor holds a sizeable living room with a television and DVD player, and an adjoining kitchen/diner equipped for proper cooking: dual-fuel cooker, dishwasher, microwave, and a table seating eight. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a 5ft bed and en-suite shower, a second double also has its own en-suite, a twin room sleeps two, and a bunk room with a Velux window works well for children. The family bathroom completes the arrangement.

What distinguishes Rockpool Retreat is the setting. The cottage sits within 1.5 acres of shared gardens—open lawns, duck ponds, a children's play hut, and barbecue areas—with parking for two cars in the courtyard and more nearby. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included. The property is non-smoking. This is genuinely the sort of place where a group can spread out, where children have somewhere to run, and where the peace of the countryside is balanced by enough people around to feel like a proper community rather than total isolation.
