Welcome to Oak Cottage

Oak is a deceptively spacious and well-appointed cottage in a sheltered courtyard nestled in rural South Devon countryside. This stylish property, built in traditional stone, offers versatile and comfortable accommodation for family groups, friends and golfers as it comprises 5 bedrooms, an open plan, well-equipped kitchen, a games area with minipool/table tennis. There are various seating areas in the lounge for watching tv, playing cards/games or relaxing. An outdoor table and chairs provide for al fresco sunny breakfasts. Beyond the adjacent lower courtyard is a large 1.5 acre communal garden and orchard with lovely views over the rolling countryside, ponds, brick built bbqs with picnic bench, a children’s playhouse and space for games.
Oak was totally refurbished in 2024 to a high standard with new carpets throughout. This lovely and welcoming holiday home provides the ideal location for holiday makers and walkers, just 2 miles from the long stretch of Slapton Sands and close to the blue flag beach of Blackpool Sands with its watersports and food outlets.
