More information

Carne Rock is a 200 year old coastal cottage, situated on a bridle path and less than 100 yards from the South West Coast Path. This charming retreat has beautiful views over the fields and out to sea. There is a back garden and lovely front terrace to enjoy the stunning views. Inside is a cosy lounge with a log burner to enjoy on colder nights, a kitchen with dining space, a modern shower room, and upstairs two good sized double bedrooms that can be made up as double or twin beds for couples or friends to enjoy this clifftop retreat.

East Prawle is a traditional Devon village with a quirky local pub which also has a popular live music venue attached, plus a shop and café, all nestled around the village green. The village itself sits in a clifftop location perfect for exploring the South West Coast Path, and a scenic walk or short drive from the Gara Rock Hotel. Historic Dartmouth is just 40 minutes away and the bustling market town of Kingsbridge is 30 minutes away. The popular sailing town of Salcombe can be accessed from the foot ferry at East Portlemouth, 3 miles away, with shops, cafes and restaurants. A host of beaches, and local villages are all waiting to be explored, and the dramatic scenes of Dartmoor are just a drive away and make a great day trip.

Outside

Terraced rear lawn laid mainly to grass, (available from March 2020) front garden, table and chairs, views over fields and out to sea.

The local area

East Prawle is a lovely rural village a mile inland from Prawle Point, the most southerly tip of Devon. The coastline here is rugged, with magnificent cliffs, delightful coves, hidden beaches, and a breathtaking stretch of the South West Coast Path. The area is quiet, unspoilt and boasts an abundance of wildlife and birds, including the rare cirl buntings which farmers and naturalists are working hard to protect.

East Prawle village is surrounded by fields with stunning rural and coastal views. The village has a green, the quirky former smugglers' hide, The Pig'sNose Inn, and the seasonal Piglet Stores and Café which serves excellent, hearty breakfasts and delicious cream teas. The nearby stretch of coastline is said to resemble the shape of a pig's head, which explains the local pig references!

From East Prawle you can take a 2 mile stroll to East Portlemouth to catch the ferry over to Salcombe to enjoy shops, cafés, restaurants, and everything else that the sailing mecca has to offer.

For walkers this area is idyllic rambling country which can begin or end at the award-winning Millbrook Inn, South Pool situated just off the main Kingsbridge to Dartmouth road. A walk in Pig country is guaranteed to be a most memorable and enjoyable experience!

Choose a holiday cottage in East Prawle for a peaceful base from which to explore the picturesque South Devon coast and countryside.
