Beacon Cottage

Kingsbridge, Devon

Beacon Cottage, located in Kingsbridge, Devon, is an inviting holiday retreat designed to accommodate up to six guests. This cottage is one of two situated at a historic lighthouse on a stunning cliff edge, offering breathtaking views of the sea to the south and west, as well as vistas across Start Bay to the east. The lighthouse itself, a notable landmark built in 1863, has undergone several enhancements, including electrification in 1959 and automation in 1993, making it a unique and inviting destination for visitors seeking both comfort and scenic beauty.

The location of Beacon Cottage is particularly appealing for those who appreciate natural landscapes, as it lies on a dramatic headland above Start Bay in the picturesque South Hams region, nestled between the charming towns of Dartmouth and Salcombe. Access to the cottage involves navigating through narrow country lanes for four miles from the main road, culminating in a half-mile private, walled, tarmac drive that runs alongside the headland. This drive is shared with walkers, as it forms part of the South West Coast Path, providing guests with direct access to spectacular cliff-top walks in both directions.

Guests at Beacon Cottage can indulge in the tranquility of their surroundings while enjoying a variety of outdoor activities. The nearby South West Coast Path offers opportunities for breathtaking hikes, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the stunning coastal scenery. For those seeking sandy beaches, East Portlemouth, Slapton, and Blackpool Sands are conveniently located within a 20-minute drive, making it easy for guests to enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and beachcombing during their stay.

In addition to Beacon Cottage, the site also features Landward Cottage, which accommodates five guests, providing further options for larger groups or families traveling together. With its pet-friendly policy, Beacon Cottage ensures that guests can bring their furry companions along for the adventure, enhancing the overall experience of a memorable getaway in a remarkable coastal setting.
