Landward Cottage, located in Kingsbridge, Devon, is a home-like holiday retreat that accommodates up to five guests. Nestled on the cliff edge at a historic lighthouse, this cottage offers stunning panoramic sea views to the south and west, as well as across Start Bay to the east. The lighthouse, which dates back to 1863, has been a significant landmark in the South Hams region, having been electrified in 1959 and automated in 1993, providing a unique backdrop for a tranquil getaway.
The property is situated on a dramatic headland above Start Bay, accessible via narrow country lanes that lead four miles from the main road. The final approach to Landward Cottage is a picturesque half-mile private, walled, tarmac drive that runs alongside the headland. This scenic route is shared with walkers, as it forms part of the South West Coast Path, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Guests at Landward Cottage can take advantage of the breathtaking clifftop walks available in both directions along the South West Coast Path, making it an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts. For those seeking sandy beaches, popular destinations such as East Portlemouth, Slapton, and Blackpool Sands are conveniently located within a 20-minute drive from the lighthouse, providing ample opportunities for relaxation and recreation by the sea.
In addition to Landward Cottage, the site also features Beacon Cottage, which accommodates six guests, making it perfect for larger groups or families looking to enjoy a coastal retreat together. With its pet-friendly policy, stunning views, and proximity to both walking trails and beautiful beaches, Landward Cottage offers a memorable holiday experience in one of England's most picturesque regions.
