Description

A Devon cream tea welcomes you! Relax and unwind in this newly refurbished characterful cottage, situated in this quintessential Devon village. Kingston, just a short walk from Wonwell Beach and the stunning Erme Estuary, is a sought after village in the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is a thriving community with a pub, church, recreation park and village hall, all within walking distance of the cottage. The neighbouring village of Ringmore (a 35 minute walk) has the Journey's End Inn, an award winning pub, offering real ale and excellent food.

Nearby is the magnificent South West coastline, offering fine coastal walks, beaches and coves, with sailing at Salcombe, Dartmouth, Totnes and Newton Ferrers. 18 hole golf courses are available at Thurlestone and Bigbury, and Dartmoor National Park is within easy reach to the North. Indoor and outdoor tennis is available at the local towns of Ivybridge and Kingsbridge with water sports facilities and lessons at Kingsbridge, Bigbury on Sea, Salcombe and Bantham, all within a 20 minute drive. .

The picturesque Georgian town of Modbury is only 3 miles away. Some two hundred years ago it was extremely prosperous being the local market town and a centre for the wool trade. Today there is a good range of local shops including a butcher, baker, grocers, hardware store, chemist, delicatessen and a number of gift and antique shops. The larger town of Kingsbridge, offering a greater and wider range of recreation and commercial facilities, is approximately 8 miles away.

he cottage has its own entrance and private front and rear garden. Located in a conservation area, the gardens are full of interesting plants and trees with several seating areas. Steeped in history, the cottage was originally a potters and fisherman’s cottages and include Kingston’s last remaining donkey house! (No donkey now!).

Originally a potter’s cottage, Clematis, has front and back doors from the gardens. The front garden has a terrace with table and chairs and the rear garden has a picnic table and bbq. The rear door opens into a utility room with storage, a washing machine and tumble drier. The cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin lead off this room. A door from the utility room leads to the an attractive dual aspect, fully equipped kitchen and dining area which leads directly onto the terrace. Next door is a large sitting room with an open fire and exposed beams. On the first floor are two en-suite bedrooms, one with a super king size bed (or twin beds if required), the other is a double bedroom (king sized bed) also en-suite. Both rooms have views over the garden and the village.

Quality linen, towels, electricity and heating costs are included, together with one nights supply of logs. Eco friendly cleaning products are provided for your use at the cottage, including dishwasher tablets. Tesco, Sainsbury and Waitrose deliver groceries to the cottage. Please feel free to arrange a delivery from 11am on the day of your arrival but please let me know in advance and I will arrange for frozen and fresh products to be put away for you. Private catering, baby sitting and dog walking is also available by arrangement. The cottage has a good broadband internet connection and private parking off the public road, within the grounds of the property. Additional parking or boat store is available at our own home a 15 minute walk away. Please note, smoking is strictly forbidden in this property and the grounds. Lockable storage is available for bikes and beach equipment.
The area is incredibly dog friendly with our local beaches and pubs welcoming dogs throughout the year. Clematis cottage is very old and some of the doorways are small - just a note of caution for taller guests!

Will definitely return!

By Marie & Wesley on 15-Mar-2024

Spent a lovely weekend in Clematis Cottage, the smaller cottage on Wheel Row offering (both Clematis and Ramblimg Rose cottages can be used as one via a secret door which the owners will unlock to connect the two if needed, which we understand then becomes ‘Wheel Row’). We could not have been happier. A truly quintessential English country cottage complete with open fire and plenty of atmosphere. The cottage has very nice furnishings and the two spacious en-suite bedrooms are lovely with plenty of light. The kitchen dining room is a great space to entertain and in the lounge the two sofas really spacious and comfortable (which is sometimes lost on holiday let owners, but not here). Front and rear gardens have lots of seating. Both are ideal for dogs. Oh and it’s dog friendly! A few minutes walk away we found the Dolphin Inn which is charming and serves local ales and takeaway meals if needed. We look forward to returning!

Home from home

We recently had a stay at Clematis Cottage and it was lovely, a real home from home, everything you could possibly want was there. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch. We highly recommend this cottage and would definitely stay here again.

Home away from home

By Kate Rodway on 23-Sep-2023

This cottage is absolutely stunning and Liz and Jerry are incredible owners. The property is truly a home away from home, I couldn't have felt more at peace. The kitchen is well equipped; the surroundings are beautiful (although beware of some small lanes to get there) and the living spaces are lovely and cosy. I couldn't recommend this stay more!
