Cosy Coastal Getaway, Thurlestone. Garden. Beaches. Log Burner. Dog Friendly

Commanding wonderful sea views, tucked away on the edge of the village you will find the tranquility of Peacehaven. The well equipped and comfortable two bedroom bungalow set in mature well maintained gardens enveloped by magnificent views sweeping across the valley, capturing the Avon Estuary, Bantham Beach, Burgh Island and out to sea. An ideal retreat to explore the finest beaches and coastal footpaths of the South Hams, many within walking distance. The nearby picturesque towns of Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Dartmouth offer an array of shops and low key attractions. Thurlestone is a popular village with pretty thatched cottages, an old church and post office. The Village Inn partially constructed from a stricken armada vessel draws an eclectic mix of local characters and visitors eager to sample the local ales. The village boasts one of the best hotels in Devon offering a restaurant, health spa and a 9 hole golf course open to non residents and a superb 18 hole links course.
The property is accessed from the private car-park via a short path. Entry may be made from both aspects.

Bungalow with Great Views
Getting to Peacehaven was quite an event, the main roads are easy to navigate. The lanes are a different story, narrow with passing places, very constricted by high banks needing a lot of concentration to navigate safely. Wind your door mirrors in unless you want the drivers side damaged by passing traffic on the lanes. Peacehaven once reached gave fabulous views out to Bigbury on Sea, Banntham Bay, Burgh Island and its hotel with the seascape beyond as well as the estuary leading inland. The bungalow is well appointed and mirrors a home from home, everything you want is there and Judy has put some nice touches to help with your stay. Being the type of people who move around a lot visiting places of interest the whole area does not disappoint at all. The highlight for us was The Burgh Island Hotel where we had afternoon tea in Art Deco surroundings, very professional staff who were all extremely helpful. The return trip to Bigbury was by the Sea Tractor in five feet of tidal water, an experience also not to be missed as you stand on the high rise platform above the water below. Make sure you also do the Round Robin experience of Bus,Train, Ferry and Boat. You’ll see much of the area in different modes of transport.

Lovely property in a great area
We really enjoyed our stay here - the property had everything we needed and was in a lovely location. Judith was very helpful and responsive. The only minor issue we had was a neighbour's truck and trailer that was parked against the wall opposite the garages all week which made manouevring the car into the parking space a bit tight.

The name of the property is called Peacehaven & that just sums our trip up in one word. Just perfect
Judy’s property is the perfect place to have a relaxing & enjoyable holiday. It is well equipped, spacious, beautifully appointed & it has a commanding view over the bay & out to sea. It is just breathtaking. The neighbours are very friendly & respectful & the village itself is charming & an idyllic example of a lovely Devon setting. Highly recommend & we will definitely be back.

Peacehaven a gem
The moment we opened the front door we were so pleasantly surprised the house was immaculate, so nicely furnished and decorated, all modern conveniences, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer, oven hob, and the walk in shower and bathroom look brand new. The bed is extremely comfortable with plenty of cupboard and drawer space for your clothes etc. And of course the view is absolutely stunning from the lounge and garden where I spent many a happy hour sitting. We would go back there in a heartbeat, could not reccomend it more highly. The surroundings are perfect for walks specially with our little dog, trips to the beach within easy walking distance. The Village Inn in Thurlestone where we had several meals was also very good and reasonably priced. The owner Judy is very helpful and made our stay perfect. You would not be dissapointed at all.

Clean, cosy, fab facilities and great location
We've stayed at many self-catering properties in this area and this is right up there with the best! It's spotlessly clean, super cosy and and brilliantly equipped (eg smart TV, coffee machine, good quality linen, luxurious shower room, washer-dryer). The views are even better than than they look in the photos. The location is great too - within easy walking or driving access to lovely walks, amazing beaches and brilliant pubs (our favourite is the Journey's End in Ringmore and we also had a great meal at The Lobster Pod Bistro at Hope Cove) All the communication from Judy was great - prompt and clear. We really hope to stay again in future - perhaps in the summer when we can make better use of the gorgeous little (fully enclosed) garden. Alice & John

The Unique Selling Point of this property is the view. It did not disappoint ! Add to this the well-appointed nature of the accommodation, the kindness and consideration of the owners, and a location convenient to local amenities as well as some of the best scenic walks Devon has to offer, and you have the recipe for a perfect holiday. (We were even blessed with indian summer weather !)

Restful, perfect location
This was by far one of my favorite ever VRBO stays. Home was perfect located with stunning views of the sea. Luxurious beds. Lovely details all over the place including Xmas lights and tree. Clean and well equipped. Made for a very restful visit. Stunning walks along the coast right out the door and a short drive to Dartmoor, one of my favorite places on earth. Can’t wait to visit again.
