BEAUTIFUL 300 YR OLD CHARACTER COTTAGE BETWEEN GLORIOUS DARTMOOR NATIONAL PARK AND THE SEA - FABULOUS COASTAL, WOODLAND AND RIVERSIDE WALKS! PRIVATE PARKING FOR TWO CARS - PERFECT IN THE SUMMER, WARM AND COMFORTABLE IN COLDER WEATHER - SLEEPS 6

Nestling in a tranquil position on the edge of the glorious unspoilt village of Kingston, 3 Gabberwell is a beautiful and comfortable cottage in an idyllic location in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Warm and welcoming at all times of the year, the cottage is sensitively renovated and freshly decorated, retaining many of its original features and provides off-road parking for two cars..

Surrounded by stunning open countryside, working farms and miles of beautiful coastline and estuaries which are havens for birds and wildlife, 3 Gabberwell (incorrectly spelt Gaberwell on the OS Map) forms one end of a row of three pretty 300-year-old cottages on a quiet and secluded leafy lane.

Picturesque and characterful, Kingston is an easy stroll from the cottage into the prize-winning village. The Dolphin Inn, just 600 yards away, is a 16th century olde worlde country pub, serving home cooked food using local produce. There is a circular 2-hour walk from the pub encompassing woodland, the estuary, the coast path and farmland, and giving easy access to the stunning South Devon coastline. Kingston with its thatched cottages, is just one mile from the lovely Erme Estuary and Wonwell beach and within a few miles of three golf courses. The location is close to tourist beaches with surfing and windsurfing facilities. Fishing trips can also be arranged from the Erme.
