Rest Cottage accommodates up to four guests and is located on the beautiful coastline of South Devon, between the popular sailing resorts of Salcombe and Dartmouth. There are many beautiful beaches within just a short distance and keen walkers can enjoy coastal walks along the south west coast path which runs almost on the doorstep.
The cottage is perfectly located for a delightful holiday by the sea and lives up to its name, providing the perfect retreat where you can relax and unwind. It has been sympathetically renovated to provide modern facilities and accommodation whilst retaining the character of a centuries-old listed building, including original beams and an inglenook fireplace. The cottage also affords seaviews from the master bedroom and private garden.
Situated on the outskirts of the thriving village of Stokenham, Rest Cottage is within walking distance of two good pubs serving food and has an excellent farmshop nearby. Torcross beach is within walking distance and Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and Salcombe are all just a short drive.
There are plenty of sandy beaches including Gara Rock, Mattiscombe (where you can take a tour around Start Point lighthouse) and Blackpool sands to the East, a beautiful, pine-fringed, safe bay with shop, cafe and water sports. Bantham is also nearby and great for surfers and lessons can be booked at nearby Bigbury-on-Sea, which is worth visiting with its large expanse of sandy beach. From here you can take a ride on the sea tractor which takes you out to Burgh Island with it's famous art-deco hotel. Alternatively, you can drive to East Portlemouth where you will find more lovely beaches, and can take a ferry across to Salcombe with its interesting shops, restaurants, pubs and sailing. From Dartmouth, take a cruise up the river, visit the Castle, go crabbing on the quayside, or simply sit back and enjoy watching the boats.

We have had a wonderful holiday. Rest Cottage is a fantastic place to stay. We've enjoyed beautiful beaches,delicious food and superb star gazing at night. We'd love to return. Mary and Arthur H . August 2009
My husband and I had a lovely holiday at Rest Cottage in August 2008. We found the accommodation extremely comfortable and well equipped. The decor was tasteful, in keeping with the style of the house and there was a very relaxing and homely feel.
The location is ideal for days out at the lovely beaches near by and there are also a couple of nice pubs within walking distance that serve good food. There is a helpful information pack in the cottage.
I would thoroughly recommend staying at Rest Cottage if you are planning a holiday in Devon. My husband and I will definitely be returning in the future.
