Cosy cottage in lovely village, within walking distance of beautiful quiet beaches on the Erme Estuary and short driving distance to other lovely beaches.
Cottage has all that you need in a rural location. Adequate room for two car off road parking. Lovely walk to the beach (which is just over a mile) through the countryside and woods. Nicely located for visiting the local places of attraction
Gabberwell cottage is situated in the lovely village of Kingston and is
1 mile from Wonwell beach. The Cottage itself was more than adequate for the 2 of us and our 2 small dogs​ and also had its own parking and garden.
There are walks to Westcombe beach and Wonwell, we only went to Wonwell and found that a steep climb back so drove the other times we went however the beach was great for the dogs!
There is also a dog friendly pub in the village which was a bonus. The only downside, but the reason why the village is unspoilt, is that it is a little way off the beaten track and so be prepared for those narrow Devon roads having said that we enjoyed our stay and would rent again.
We spent 5 nights at 3 Gabberwell Cottages over new year and had a fantastic break.
The cottage is super cosy and very well equipped. The kids particularly loved the attic room. The village is a perfect location from which to walk to several nearby beaches and The Dolphin Inn is a good place for decent pub grub and local ales.
Communication from the owner, John, was prompt, courteous and clear with loads of info provided about things to do in the area.
Highly recommended!
The house is lovely,parking for 2 cars.it held me my wife and child plus my friends and their baby comfortably.set in a tiny village with a little pub that serves good honest food very well.its a dog walking heven! My second time staying there . everything you need to have a great time. Missing this house and Devon already.

It is not often that expectations are exceeded on the holiday front, but they were in this case! A real gem of a cottage - cosy, well equipped (I always take my pancake pan with me because most rentals don't have one - but this one did!!), lovely Kath Kidston 'look', comfy beds and proper feather duvets. Everything in good working order, and when we had a small problem with a tap, help was at hand within minutes, all fixed, no fuss. We know the location well - a pretty village 1 mile away from probably one of the most beautiful spots in the world. Dogs, teenagers and adults all very happy, so we'll definitely be booking again.
