Blackberry Cottage

Kenton village sits between Exeter and Dawlish on the Exe Estuary, within reach of both coastal towns and Dartmoor National Park. Blackberry Cottage is a terraced property with two bedrooms and one bathroom, sleeping up to four. The ground floor holds a living and dining room with a woodburning fireplace, plus a kitchen equipped for self-catering. Upstairs are a double bedroom and a second bedroom with two single beds. An enclosed courtyard and a separate lawned garden (accessed via a lane, about 100 yards away) provide outdoor space.

The essentials are covered: electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are included, along with gas heating and hot water. There's on-road parking 50 yards from the door. A restaurant is a five-minute walk away, a pub two miles off, and a shop ten minutes on foot. The property suits couples and small families; children under five cannot be accommodated, and smoking is not permitted.

The location works for exploring the south Devon coast—beaches are roughly five miles away—or heading inland to Haldon Forest and Dartmoor's open moorland. Exeter is accessible by bus for its shopping, museum and Georgian architecture. The surrounding area offers walking, cycling, bird-watching and water sports on the estuary.
