Photos and Description of the Kingsbridge vacation apartment rental 2 Devon cottages (sleeping 4 and 5) with pool and tennis

These two cottages are tucked away in the hamlet of Stancombe which has been converted from a South Devon cider farm. They are about 50 metres apart and can be rented separately or together. Situated in 21 acres of outstanding natural beauty including orchards, woodland and gardens, they also have superb leisure facilities on the doorstep. Conveniently located for both the coast and moors with the nearest beach, Slapton Sands, three miles away at Torcross, they are within easy reach of Salcombe, Dartmouth and Totnes. Both properties have been fully refurbished to a high standard and are regularly used by the owners' family. They are a very comfortable base from which to explore the unspoilt beaches and towns of the South Hams. Stancombe's extensive leisure facilities include indoor heated pool, sauna, tennis court and snooker room. Close by are award-winning beaches, the coast path, Dartmoor, pretty seaside villages, sailing, and golf at Thurlestone, Bigbury and Dartmouth.

A truly lovely holiday

Sarah T Bristol
Review Submitted: July 16, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We arrived to a warm welcome and were told about the surrounding area and day trips available to us. Accomodation was lovely and very homely. Facilities on site were brilliant especially the tennis court which we made good use of! Overall a lovely, relaxing holiday that I would reccomend.

crocus at stancombe manor

matt wales gwent south wales
Review Submitted: June 21, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We had a great time hit the weather just right. When we did use the pool at the property 95% of the time was just ourselves there. Area was nice and quiet but close enough to beaches etc. Staff were very helpful. property opened out onto a nice garden which our little 2 year old thought was great! pictures doesn't do it justice.A few suggestions, my partner would have liked a washing machine instead of a dishwasher at the property also addition of a gate on the path between car park and garden would have been good. Not that there was a lot of traffic there!
Owner's Response: We are investigating the possibility of providing a washing machine for next season.
Stancombe is an old walled Devon farm in 23 acres of beautiful Devon countryside. Cars belonging to guests park there but there is very little passing traffic. There's a balance between gating off each exit to the farm and car park and retaining its beauty.

A beautiful place with great facilities

Aidyd Exeter
Review Submitted: June 3, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
We booked last minute and the booking was handled quickly and personally. The cottage was well equipped and clean, with modern furnishings inside. It was a quiet place in a beautiful rural setting. We made a lot of use of all the facilities: heated indoor pool, snooker room, pool table, table tennis, tennis and pitch & putt! Highly recommended, especially if the weather is not great - lots to do.

A real gem

M&J&O Brighton
Review Submitted: April 22, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We (me, my partner and Oscar the dog) have just come back from a long weekend in Devon, and truly wished we'd stayed for a week. We couldn't have asked for a better location or place to stay. The apartment was clean and bright and well-maintained, we didn't want for anything. A morning swim was a great start to the day (we would have made use of the tennis court and pitch and put but for the rain). It was fun exploring the area and managed to walk every day (our water proofs came in handy!).

The owner was v helpful and always responded quickly to emails. I would definitely recommend this property/South Hams to friends and family.
