"Colourful gardens amidst acres of farmland - just a mile from South Devon's golden sands . . ." Just a mile inland from the beach and sea at Man Sands, these five cottages enjoy a gloriously secluded rural situation on a 47-acre working farm, yet are convenient for the delights of picturesque Kingswear (1½miles) and historic Dartmouth. Imaginatively formed within acharming group of barns, they are set in superb landscaped shared gardens. An indoor heated swimming-pool and a sauna have been created in a separate building, and a further barn offers facilities for table tennis, pool table, `fun' netball and badminton. A spacious play area within awalled garden is equipped with swings, a sand pit, Wendy house, adventure playground and a large lawned area; and here there is also an indoor playroom with ball pool, climbing frame, trampoline and a range of children's ride-on tractors and cars for outdoor use. The gardens are a riot of colour, with flower beds, tubs, hanging baskets and an intriguing network of brick paths, courtyards and paved terraces. Further afield the estate includes a well-stocked one-acre fishing lake (rods not supplied). Children are welcome to help feed the animals; and there are kids, ponies, pigs, sheep, lambs, rabbits and guinea pigs to make friends with. The taste of rural life at Nethway continues with walks through the fields - and the chance to enjoy the farm's own eggs (when available). The cottages themselves have been meticulously converted, with careful use of traditional stone and slate. All are tastefully furnished and decorated throughout, and comprehensively equipped (including automatic washing machine/tumble dryer, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer). All of the properties have their own patios with furniture (Hyssop Cottage has its own paved garden), and all enjoy shared use of aseparate barbecue area. They are ideal for holidays at any time of the year - all properties are cosily heated throughout and this region is especially beautiful in the quieter off-season months. For Christmas and New Year holidays, each cottage has a festively decorated Christmas tree and the roaring log fires in all living rooms are ideal for the Autumn and Winter months. This peninsula is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is renowned for its coastline, which offers glorious coastal walks and a choice of footpaths leading to secluded beaches. The village of Kingswear itself is set on the Dart estuary opposite Dartmouth - which can be reached via ferry. Here you will find a wealth of things to do, including the Kingswear-Paignton steam railway, Paignton Zoo and Woodlands Leisure Park, to name but a few, and many Blue Flag beaches and hidden coves are within easy reach. Coleton Fishacre (NT) is 1mile away. Torquay, Brixham and Paignton offer a bustling array of seaside attractions and are within easy driving distance. Dittisham and Totnes make excellent river excursions from Dartmouth, and Dartmoor is only 45minutes by car. Golf, sailing and riding can all be enjoyed locally and the nearby coastline boasts a choice of excellent surfing beaches. Spacious living room with open fire. Modern fitted kitchen with dining area.
