The Coastguard Cottages at Lannacombe stand proudly overlooking the beautiful panorama of Lannacombe Bay on the southernmost tip of South Devon, a stunning unspoilt location that comes with its own beach, Ivy Cove. 1 Ivy Cove is the end cottage of a terrace of three and is a comfortable and practical, cottage set in a simply glorious spot. The coastal path passes behind the cottages and from here there are miles of superb walking along the path that stretches from Dartmouth to Salcombe along craggy cliffs that dip into sandy coves. Lannacombe beach, a few minutes from the cottage, is a wide sandy bay at low tide, and is a favourite with surfers and families alike. Walking, swimming, surfing and rock pooling are just some of the joys of this location or simply enjoy the peace and spectacular views from the cottage and garden at any time of the year.
Outside
A fairly rough track (not really suitable for low slung cars) leads from Lannacombe Beach to the Coastguard Cottages and the area surrounding them is enclosed by low walls and hedging. The grounds are not divided between the cottages and No. 1 has its own private area to the side of the property and driveway with table and benches. A raised area at the rear provides a communal clothes line. Gate on the edge of the grounds of the cottages allows access to a path down to Ivy Cove beach below.
Games Room/Den, with TV, DVD and Table Tennis table.
The local area
If you are looking for a retreat where you feel completely cut off from the rest of the world, then Lannacombe is for you! Offering some of the finest coastline in South Devon, the secluded sandy beaches at Lannacombe are completely unspoilt and normally very quiet, even in the height of summer, due to limited parking and the remote location.
Sitting right on the coastal path there are miles of stunning coastal path to explore, perfect for walkers of all abilities, while at low tide the beach at Lannacombe is perfect for rock pooling. The nearby village of East Prawle is home to one of the region’s best-loved and most quirky pubs, The Pig’s Nose, while the nearby villages of Beesands and Torcross also offer excellent pubs and restaurants, including fabulous fish and chips at the Start Bay Inn.
A few miles to the west lies East Portlemouth which offers more sandy beaches and ferry access across the estuary to the stunning waterside town of Salcombe. Now a firm favourite with millionaires, celebrities and boat lovers; and home to numerous excellent shops, cafés and restaurants; the town is the perfect day trip from isolated Lannacombe. Slightly further afield are the towns of Kingsbridge and Dartmouth which offer delicious delis, restaurants and independent shops, as well large supermarkets for all those essentials.
A holiday cottage in Lannacombe offers a peaceful escape from the daily grind in a truly beautiful remote and natural coastal setting.
