Coombe House and Cottages - Swallows

Idyllic and tranquil surroundings

Coombe House and Cottages are situated in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in rural Devon. Situated in a very rural and quiet area of South Devon, and off the beaten track, lying in a tranquil south-facing valley surrounded by rolling meadows and woodland. Coombe House and Cottages offer a truly relaxing and peaceful holiday experience.

This elegant Georgian house (W42221), built in the 1700s, and the cottages converted from the original stone barns ( W1382, W1400, W1497 and W1498) are all set in 33 acres of beautiful countryside and stand at the head of a broad valley, bordered by meadows and woodland.

The holiday accommodation of Coombe House forms two-thirds of the main house with the owners living in the annexe to the side. The house is spacious and beautifully furnished with period furniture and would make an excellent holiday home for a large family gathering or celebration. To the side is a lawned area with large wooden trestle table, and across the drive is the delightful natural pond thriving with wildlife including butterflies and dragonflies. The cottages are positioned to the rear of the main house and each offers very well appointed accommodation.

The complex lies within 4 miles of Dartmoor National Park and within easy reach of some of the cleanest beaches in England (Bigbury and Blackpool Sands). The coastal paths offer superb walks and magnificent scenery. There are also many Green Lane walks, one of which runs through part of the estate. Several National Trust properties and gardens are nearby. The historic towns of Totnes and Dartmouth with their award-winning restaurants are a short distance away. The beautiful gardens feature a lake, a stream and small pond where wildlife abounds. As you stroll around the gardens you will probably encounter moorhens, pheasants or ducks, and if you take an evening walk in the woods you may catch a glimpse of a badger, fox or deer. Bird life is varied, look out for buzzards, sparrowhawks, woodpeckers, owls and several garden birds. Shop and pub 2 miles, restaurant 4 miles.
