"Devon's best kept secret... Just inland from some of Devons loveliest and most natural beaches lies the village of Tuckenhay set along Bow Creek on the River Dart...." A modern, contemporary, loft-style property with upside-down accommodation. Offering bright and airy interior decor, complete with wooden floors, leather sofas and flatscreen TV. Large, open-plan sitting-room with oak kitchen/dining area with wooden worktops and oak dining table with leather padded chairs. Ground floor: Large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathroom/W.C. Two twin-bedded rooms (one with 2ft6in beds). Bathroom/W.C. Terraced deck with patio furniture. In a setting of stunning natural beauty, Tuckenhay Mill is the centrepiece of a cluster of country homes and cottages with superb leisure facilities including two indoor and one outdoor pools, making it ideal for a family holiday for all ages. The Mill which once produced some of the finest paper in the land, nestles in the green and shady Bow Creek, a languid inlet of the River Dart. Around the mill are all the buildings which once went to make up a small bustling village port. These listed buildings have been sympathetically restored using traditional materials and converted to a delightful range of individually styled holiday properties, with awards having been won for the conversion of the buildings and conservation of the area. Tuckenhay is only 5 miles inland from Dartmouth and 3 from the market town of Totnes. The beaches, moors and rolling countryside of South Devon are easily reached from this peaceful spot, and there is a wealth of inns and restaurants in the area, and a choice of golf courses. *Elec, NSH, hot water, panel/convector heaters and use of swimming pools £84pw or £42 for short breaks *D/washer *F/freezer *Two cots *Two h/chairs *Terrace with furniture *Friday to Friday *Ample parking for cars and boats *Village store 3½miles *Riverside inn and restaurant within walking distance *TV *DVD *Shared payphone *M/wave *Filter coffee maker *Electric mini-whisk *H/chairs and additional cots available by arrangement *Two pints of milk on arrival *Shared use of grounds *Shared barbecue area *Duvets with covers only *Non-smokers only (from Jan 2009) ADDITIONAL FACILITIES: *Laundry room with auto wm and t/dryer by £1slot meter *Extensive indoor and outdoor sporting facilities including 60-ft outdoor swimming-pool (8.30am to 7.30pm, 1May to 20September) and all-weather tennis court *Superb indoor leisure complex with two heated swimming-pools, Jacuzzis, saunas, steam rooms and drench shower (Roman Pool open daily 8.30am to 7.30pm - Wednesdays to9pm - for all ages, under adult supervision.
