Drift Cottage offers you, your family or your friends the perfect place for an unforgettable holiday in Devon. The period cottage sits beside the harbour at Turnchapel, with guests enjoying sensational views from both decks, two bedrooms, the living room and the dining area. There is space for up to six people to sleep in three very comfortable bedrooms and lots of period features that include a fireplace rescued from a Victorian warship. There are two pubs - the Boringdon Arms and the Clovelly Bay Inn, a cafe and shop all within walking distance, and you're only steps from the private pebble beach where you can launch your paddle-board, kayak or go swimming. A mooring is also available should you bring a boat. Trust us when we say that it's so good, you'll have a hard time leaving!
Turnchapel is colourful, pretty and peaceful. It is only five miles from Plymouth yet, with its waterfront location and relaxed atmosphere, it feels a world away from the bustle of a city. Hire a boat or kayak and set sail around Batten Bay or on Hooe Lake, or stroll around the point and admire the incredible views from Mount Batten Tower. Plymouth is so close that you can easily dip in and out of its shops, museums, restaurants and nightlife. The city has a rich maritime heritage with lots of family-friendly and all-weather attractions to offer something fun no matter what time of the year you're here. The regular ferry service between Mount Batten and the Barbican is a wonderful way to avoid city traffic.
Local attractions include the National Marine Aquarium, Dartmoor Zoo, brand new Box Museum, Mount Edgecumbe House and Country Park, Saltrham House, and the beautifully restored art deco Tinside Lido. Stretch your legs on a coastal walk around places like Jennycliffe and Smeaton's Tower, or set yourself up for the day on one of the area's many beautiful beaches that include Bovisand and Wembury.
The cottage is within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is close to Dartmoor National Park, giving visitors an almost unlimited choice of footpaths, cycling routes and bridleways to explore. There are two golf courses within a 10-minute drive with three more within 20 minutes of the cottage. You won't struggle to stay active when you stay here as the back door literally opens up on to the South West Coast Path. Equally, it is easy to stretch out on a lounger on your deck and laze the day away watching ships and yachts sail past. Staying at Drift Cottage means you can plan your perfect holiday.
