Kingsbridge Thurleston Sands Hotels

"Grove cottages is a lovely quality home, not just a ‘holiday cottage’. Only real downside is the narrow lanes closest to it, but that applies to much of the area. As well as parking space alongside outbuilding across the lane and a narrow slope at the side of the cottage (where the electric car charger is), there’s more private parking behind a gate at the end of the garden, just out of view of the cottage. Large well-equipped kitchen and helpful to have three toilets and showers; all had decent power. The upstairs bathroom is very spacious, though upstairs double and twin bedrooms on the small side. (But had more wardrobe hangers than usual, though we used some of our own too). Internet fine, not city super-fast, but couldn’t expect that! No pavement so anyone walking past is right next to the windows, but only a few did on our visit (June half-term). Looking out from the kitchen you look over the lane to the garden, which is great. Behind that is a strip of woodland also owned by the house; beyond/above this the land rises so you do see the backs of houses on the other side, but being higher up they’re not too close. Garden across the lane is fantastic and we saw ducks and pheasant. Lawn, pond, stream, pizza oven there, more garden with raised patio and bbq up some (narrow) steps behind the cottage. We didn’t cook outside but did use the car charging point - a little awkwardly positioned for a larger car, but do-able. Owner helpful, responsive to queries. "
