Fuchsia Cottage, located in a quiet cul de sac on the outskirts of the pretty village of Beeson, is just a short drive from Beesands and the South Devon Coast. Comfortable and attractively furnished, it’s an ideal family base for exploring this beautiful corner of Devon or a perfect retreat for couples and friends who enjoy visiting during the quieter months. Modern and well equipped, it has parking, a private rear garden with lovely countryside views and a separate conservatory, which provides a pleasant venue for reading or relaxing. Beesands and Torcross, both popular seaside villages with good pubs and beaches, are within a five minute drive or Salcombe and Dartmouth are within easy reach. For those who love walking, the South West Coastal Path is close by with great walks to Start Point lighthouse.

Conservatory (accessed from garden) overlooking the rear garden with two terraces and patio area outside sitting room. Garden table and chairs.
Tucked away in beautifully scenic countryside is the tranquil hamlet of Beeson. It’s a half mile walk from this rural retreat down to the beach and village of Beesands. If you’re after good food, Beesands offers a mouth-watering dilemma between The Cricket Inn and the local seafood shack, Brittania @ The Beach. From there you can simply take a stroll along the shingle beach or follow the South West Coast Path towards neighbouring Torcross or to Start Point, passing the remains of Hallsands, a village famously claimed by the sea during a terrible storm in 1917.
From Beeson, driving the dramatic coast road towards Dartmouth is a must, as is stopping off for a coffee or a snack at the Venus Cafe at Blackpool Sands, to enjoy sparkling turquoise water contrasted against the golden beach and unspoilt pine-wooded hills. Once in Dartmouth you’ll find plenty to entertain you, with a plethora of cafes and restaurants plus plenty of independent shops and galleries all situated close to the scenic waterfront.
A holiday cottage in Beeson provides a peaceful base for exploring this beautiful corner of South Devon.
