Sail Cottage is a homely fisherman's cottage nestled in the idyllic coastal village of Beesands, South Devon, offering a perfect seaside retreat for up to four guests. This property, which is designed to accommodate a maximum of four individuals, including children, has specific restrictions that prevent younger children under the age of six from staying due to its layout. The cottage boasts a prime location just a few yards from the pebbled beach, allowing guests to wake up to the soothing sounds of the sea. The interior features a tasteful modernisation that preserves the cottage's character, with solid oak floors, warm lighting, and a delightful nautical theme throughout.
Upon entering Sail Cottage, guests are greeted by a small porch that leads into a cozy sitting room, complete with an inglenook fireplace and a wood-burning stove, ideal for relaxing evenings. The room is furnished with comfortable seating, a flat-screen TV, and a selection of books and DVDs. The kitchen and breakfast room is modern yet retains traditional charm, featuring a shaker-style kitchen equipped with an electric Everhot range, a Belfast sink, and a small dining area. A door leads from the kitchen to the charming rear garden, which includes a modern WC and laundry space, making it practical for longer stays.
The first floor of the cottage houses a bedroom with stunning sea views and a modern family bathroom, while a steep staircase leads to the second floor, where a bright and airy bedroom offers panoramic views of the coastline. The partially enclosed rear garden features tiered levels, including a patio area with garden furniture and an upper tier with a summer house, although younger children should be supervised due to the garden's layout. The cottage is part of a terrace, providing access to other cottages via a gated pathway, and unrestricted public parking is conveniently located opposite the property.
In addition to its beautiful setting, Sail Cottage is ideally located near local amenities. The beach is just ten yards away, and a pub is a mere hundred yards from the front door, perfect for evening strolls. Seasonal provisions and freshly caught seafood can be found at the village shop and café, while a farm shop is located 2.5 miles away. For those looking to explore further, Dartmouth is just ten miles from the cottage, making Sail Cottage a wonderful base for a beach holiday or an adventure along the stunning South Hams coastline.
