The Retreat - Two Bedroom Apartment, Sleeps 4

This peaceful bolthole deep in rural South Devon offers a taste of country living with touches of luxury. The lovely second-floor apartment is set within Sheplegh Court, an early 19th-century mansion and is surrounded by 22 acres of beautiful, mature gardens. Located in the pretty village of Blackawton, it sleeps four guests and offers a host of leisure extras. These include shared indoor plunge pool and outdoor swimming pool (June - September only), tennis courts, a sauna and snooker room. With sandy beaches and colourful Dartmouth within easy reach, this holiday home is perfect for couples or friends to enjoy a wonderfully relaxing stay.
Gothic windows with lovely views enhance the charm of this distinctive apartment, with its exposed beams and sloping ceilings. The stylish contemporary interior is tastefully furnished in different nautical shades, contrasting with white walls and woodwork. Comfortable seating in the impressive open-plan living/dining area overlooks the outdoor pool and there is a double sofa bed for extra guests and a Smart TV. A Gothic arch leads to the streamlined kitchen and a bistro-style table and chairs. There are two sumptuous bedrooms: a twin, and a raised double, plus a family bathroom.
The lovely harbour town of Dartmouth (6 miles), has it all: pastel-painted houses spilling down the hillside to the beautiful River Dart, shops, cafes, a fine museum and a 600-year-old castle, with wonderful views out to sea. Enjoy exhilarating walks along the glorious South West Coast Path and feel the sand between your toes on two lovely nearby beaches' Sugary Cove (1 mile) and Compass Cove (3 miles). There is a wealth of boat trips along the river, and you can take the ferry across to Kingswear for a visit to the National Trust’s beautiful Coleton Fishacre, an Art and Crafts country house with a wonderful garden.
