Looking for the quintessential Devon Thatched Cottage? Well Langford Down will tick all the boxes. Brimming with character there are slate floors with underfloor heating, beamed ceilings, an inglenook fireplace and Rayburn stove, so we can’t think of a single feature lacking in this perfect holiday destination.
Overlooking a beautiful valley, just outside the coastal village of Slapton the cottage is surrounded by a lovely large garden with a sunny barbeque area looking out over the Devon countryside. There’s a comfortable sitting room with wood burner, a modern well equipped kitchen diner and upstairs three comfortable bedrooms.
A short drive or pleasant walk along the lane brings you into Slapton, with its village pubs and shop and a little further on you’re on Slapton beach. The nearby South West Coastal Path provides some beautiful walks and a visit to the historic port of Dartmouth, the market town of Kingsbridge and the yacht haven of Salcombe are all great days out.
Please Note, that owing to the quite steep steps leading down to the property, which can be slippery when wet this cottage isn't suitable for the elderly or those with walking disabilities.
For guests benefitting from the reduced occupancy discount outside of the school holidays only the main bedroom will be made available unless by special request at time of booking.
Outside
Large sunny mature garden (2/3 acre) with steps down to the cottage from the barbeque and parking area.
The local area
Slapton is a small quaint village just a stone's throw from the outstandingly beautiful stretch of coastline at Slapton Sands, from where you can enjoy sweeping sea views across Start Bay, from the mouth of the river Dart in the north across to the craggy cliffs that curve round to Start Point Lighthouse in the south.
Slapton village is a short stroll from Slapton Sands beach, a 6km stretch of pebble beach, fronted by Start Bay and backed by the stunning Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve – a large freshwater lake separated from the sea by a narrow strip of land, and home to many species of wildlife including otters, eels, dormice and a huge number of birds and insects.
Slapton village itself boasts two pubs, The Tower Inn which is renowned for its excellent food, and The Queen's Arms, which has a pretty garden providing the perfect spot for a refreshing beer, whilst a shop/Post Office, café and more pub/restaurants can be found at nearby Torcross.There are also many wonderful walks in the area – through unspoilt countryside, around the Slapton Ley, and along the spectacular South West Coast Path.
Slightly further along the coastal road towards Dartmouth, you'll find Blackpool Sands, one of the most popular beaches in Devon. Here, the golden sand and shingle beach, green pines cliffs, and turquoise waters conspire to exude an almost Mediterranean feel. This beautiful, family-friendly beach is great for windsurfing, paddle boarding and canoeing, and when hunger strikes, the beach-side Venus Café is a great place to refuel with a view.
The lively market town of Kingsbride is just 7 miles away and offers a good choice of independent shops, cafés and pubs, as well as two supermarkets for stocking up on essentials.
A holiday cottage in Slapton offers a good base for enjoying the breath-taking beauty of this special corner of South Devon.
