Overview
Description
Hansel Cottage is the perfect dog friendly option for large families and groups of friends to relax in rural tranquillity while still being within a few minutes drive of the nearest beach.Hansel is well located to explore all that South Devon has to offer. Mid way between the sailing meccas of Dartmouth and Salcombe, 15 minutes from the ‘Blue Flag’ Blackpool Sands beach and within 30 minutes drive of many sandy beaches, close to the South West Coast path and within an easy drive of Dartmoor, numerous children’s attractions and outdoor activities, there is something for everyone nearby.
Nearby Slapton and Strete have three well regarded pubs between them. Slightly further afield Torcross, Beesands, Stokenham Kingsbridge and Dartmouth have numerous highly recommended pubs and restaurants to suit all age groups and budgets.
The cottage has been recently renovated in a modern country style. It has four bedrooms (1 ensuite) with two further bathrooms. There is plenty of space for larger family or friend groups - sleeping eight people - with three main reception rooms and a generous farmhouse style kitchen. The former pigsty now provides a utility room with wetsuit drying area and a space for table tennis. There is also a pool table in the larger of the sitting rooms.
Outside there is a lovely 3/4 acre garden with magnificent views over the valley. Well behaved dogs are very welcome and the garden is fully fenced.

Leave ReviewWe have had a very pleasant stay
By Chris & Nikki, Richard & Lynn on 26-Oct-2024We have had a very pleasant stay. It is a lovely cottage with excellent facilities. The pool table & table tennis table are really good extras and well used. The road can be daunting at first due to the remoteness of the cottage, however, we soon got used to it and felt a little more at ease driving it. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Another relaxing stay in this lovely cottage.

The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed
By 7 people + dog on 21-Aug-2024The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed. The laundry room was helpful and what with the televisions, pool table and table tennis there was plenty to keep us amused. The garden was perfect for our grandchildren and dog to play in. All seven of us enjoyed our stay very much. Everything was excellent.
All ages from 7-73 enjoyed the stay
By 4 adults, 3 kids and 2 dogs on 09-Aug-2024We stayed for a week in Hansel Cottage and loved exploring the area and spending time in the lovely cottage. All ages from 7-73 enjoyed the stay. We also loved going to Strete and Slapton beach to see the friendly seal that comes right up to the shore. The dogs loved the garden and the pretty walk down to the river. The cottage had everything we needed and we loved the pool table and table tennis. South Devon we'll be back.
Wonderful cottage, stunning location
By Karen, Alan, Nicky, Tom, Buster & Yogi on 05-Jul-2024Wonderful cottage, stunning location. Roads to cottage were daunting at first, now a stroll in the park! Gardens are beautiful, very peaceful, lots of beautiful wildlife, as previously mentioned if you have dogs please check them for ticks. Thank you for allowing us to bring our 4 dogs.
We had a fabulous week in Hansel Cottage
By Webster party of 4 + 4 dogs on 07-Jun-2024We had a fabulous week in Hansel Cottage and really appreciated you allowing us to have our four dogs with us. They had some lovely walks down the hill to the stream and also to the beaches at Strete gate and Torcross. We stay in the South Hams every year, and yours is one of the best cottages we have stopped in. The facilities you have provided, such as pool table and chess board have been well used by us during our stay and much appreciated. Would definitely recommend your property to others , and it's a big Thank you and thumbs up from us all.
