Rose Cottage in Holcombe

Rose Cottage in Holcombe stands in the village of Holcombe, near Teignmouth, a 17th-century thatched cottage reached by roadside parking. Steep, narrow stairs lead to the first-floor bedrooms, with a few further small steps inside the property, so it suits guests comfortable with stairs.

The ground floor holds a shower room with a walk-in shower, basin and WC, an open kitchen/diner and a sitting room with a woodburning stove. The kitchen has an electric combi oven and microwave, an electric hob, a fridge freezer, a washing machine and a dishwasher, and fuel, power, a stove starter pack, bed linen and towels are all included in the rent.

Upstairs, a king-size and a double bedroom sleep 4 in total, both with plenty of storage, and a roll-out single bed is available on request for a child. Outside, an enclosed garden includes a small pond, so children need supervising there, and there's room to sit out with a TV and WiFi covering evenings indoors.

Rose Cottage welcomes one well-behaved pet. Smoking is not permitted. The shop is 1.6 miles away and the pub 0.1 miles, a short walk through the village, with the beaches around Teignmouth and Dawlish, plus the South West Coast Path, within easy reach for a day out.
