Thatched Cottage Annex, close to Maidencombe beach. Extra Let (VRBO 11299994)

Nestled in between Torquay and Teignmouth, Rosemary Cottage Annex is a one bedroom thatched cottage that's cosy and enormously inviting. This cottage has been renovated specifically as a holiday retreat with everything you need for a great Devon getaway.

The clever open plan layout of this property means that everything is on hand from the cute kitchen, the dining area or watching TV from the two-seater sofa. The master bedroom has a welcoming double bed and offers direct access to an enclosed garden area with a table and chairs that make it a tempting place to pass a couple of hours. This is a fine spot from which to soak up the views under the summer sun.

Parking is on a private drive at the side of the cottage. The cottage also benefits from wi fi for those who cant live without their technology.

A 15 minute short walk away is the highly rated village pub in the centre of one of South Devon's most picturesque villages of Stokeinteignhead, with its thatched cottages and rural atmosphere. Opposite the pub is the volunteer run village shop to enable you to stock up on essential supplies and local produce, or the Thatched Tavern pub at Maidencombe along with the beach, cafe and paddle board hire. There are also many outdoor activities within the area including horse riding, golf and kayaking to name a few.

The cottage is situated in an ideal location, whether you wish to make a short trip to the seaside or make it an active day on the South West Coast Path. You are just a few miles away from the spectacular views and walks on Dartmoor. For those who want some retail therapy you are close to the historic city of Exeter, the market town of Newton Abbot and the famous Torquay English Riviera and harbour.

Great little cottage

Our stay at Rosemary Cottage Annex was very comfortable. The bed was so nice, and the cottage was spotless. Beware the cottage is down a steep lane, but once there the view is well worth it. It would have been nice to have salt and pepper and coffee and tea available, amenities we have had at every other accommodation we stayed at during our tour of the U.K.

Perfect retreat!

Perfect property for a couple’s retreat. Ideally located, Torquay, Teignmouth within 15 minutes drive of the property, with Maidencombe beach and pub 5 minutes. Cottage is clean and has everything needed for a holiday. Neil was helpful with a couple of questions pre the holiday and was around if required during our stay. Will definitely look to come back at some point. Richard and Julie.

Stay in Devon

Annexe was very welcoming. Exceptionally clean and well equipped. It would have been nice and useful to have a bedside lamp, then the person near the wall could read, but not have to get out of bed to turn off the main light. Otherwise great stay. Would happily recommend

A beautifully presented cottage in a timeless country village providing everything we could have wanted from a Devon escape. Clean and modern within the cosy thatch and the thick stone walls set in a country lane with easy to reach pubs and amazing scenery all around. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great Stay

Great stay at Rosemary Cottage. Owner Neil was on hand if you needed anything. Perfect for our 5 days in Devon , visiting for a wedding at Cockington (approx 6 miles away). Really quiet place, well equipped for self catering. Farm next door sold organic eggs, milk etc which was handy. Nice little back garden at the property, with a nice view over the surrounding countryside. Driving was fun with some very small roads and sharp bends!

Immaculate, rural cottage.

Neil’s accommodation was perfectly located for us to explore South Devon. The cottage has quality fittings and was absolutely spotless. Although our stay was short Neil was the perfect host, introducing us to Charlie (his cocker spaniel) and showing us around his smallholding to meet his 8 pigs. A memorable stay, many thanks.
