Higher Rose Cottage is a charming south facing cottage, furnished personally as a home in a tranquil part of the ancient Loddiswell village which is within an area of outstanding natural beauty. It has an open fireplace which makes it a cosy winter retreat, a good selection of local interest books plus novels, all contributing to create a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere in which to relax any time of the year. The charm of Higher Rose Cottage is a reliance on simple furnishings but with the addition of thoughtful pictures and decorative ceramics relating in colour etc to each room. The garden is secure for pets and excellent private parking. The location is particularly quiet and restful with the exception of practice church bell ringing for a short while one evening and it is centrally situated for all venues.
Nearby Kingsbridge offers a wide choice of shopping facilities with a good range of specialist shops and supermarkets on the outskirts of the town. The village has a friendly Inn, a general store and a 14th century Church all within easy walking distance. Loddiswell is surrounded by unspoilt rolling countryside with several interesting walks, one of the most notable being along the old Great Western Railway's Primrose line following the river Avon, closed in 1963. A license can be obtained for fishing from the Post Office which operates from the general store on a Tuesday. The village is also within easy reach of the beautiful coastline, beaches and estuaries of the South Hams and Dartmoor National Park is only a 25 minutes drive away. There is also a source of refreshing natural spring water available for public use close to the property.

The village of Loddiswell is set in the heart of the rolling South Hams countryside, and is served by a mini supermarket and Post Office. It is close to the elegant town of Modbury but closer still to a larger range of shops, restaurants, pubs and small cinema in the bustling market town of Kingsbridge, just 10 minutes’ drive away.
Well-situated for both the wild beauty of Dartmoor as well as the stunning South Devon coastline, there are numerous outstanding beaches within easy reach, including the surfer’s favourites, Bantham and Bigbury-on-Sea, and family and dog-friendly Thurlestone and Hope Cove.
