We were made very welcome by the hosts and the property was excellent in every way: fully equipped, spotlessly clean, comfortable, spacious. We enjoyed tennis on the owner's court. The beach was within walking distance and situated in a very beautiful part of Devon. Would recommend this property most highly. ”

Bowden Wood is a spacious, beautifully decorated home which was perfect for our holiday with two little children. The wonderful views and feeling of being in the middle of nowhere were brilliant yet it was also a great base for many trips around South Devon. Booking with Coastal Living Holidays was very straightforward and we really appreciated the local dining tips. ”

An absolute gem of a place! We all had such a lovely time. Bowden Wood is the perfect place for some well needed R&R. The hosts were most friendly and generous-Annie and Clive both went out of their way to make us feel at home and comfortable. Thank you for your advise on the chickens. The children loved them and Tobes and Oscar as well.
The cottage is finished to a very high standard. We loved the books, the cottage charm, everything you could possibly need! Many thanks and we will love to return very soon.
What a lovely place! We all loved exploring the wood and collecting flowers off the floor. Thank you so much Annie and Clive we would like to come back again and thank you for giving us lessons on the chickens, Thank you so much! ”

We had a fabulous time in Bowden Wood. The chalet is stunning inside and out, as is its idylic location. Charlotte and the owners were on hand for all we needed. It's a lovely touch to have access to the tennis court which we enjoyed most evenings. A beautiful, peaceful and wholly enjoyable gem of a find on the Devon coast & we'd go back in a flash! ”

Thank you for our wonderful stay. The location was idyllic and so peaceful, a perfect base to explore the surrounding areas. Our two children adored exploring the woodlands and garden (including the play area). The property had everything we needed, and it was styled beautifully. We would absolutely recommend staying here. ”

Bowden Wood cabin is probably the loveliest holiday place we have ever stayed. Flowers, trees and sky in every direction, very private with lots of space and a range of outdoor seating to enjoy the sunshine or shade and be out of the breeze. Relaxing and harmonious atmosphere with beautiful decor, a thoughtful welcome basket and very well arranged kitchen. We had fun playing tennis on the owners' court, they live in the house through the trees and were friendly and helpful. ”

This is a beautiful and very spacious home! It feels very new and clean, and has everything you need to feel at home. It's just like the pictures, but feels even bigger. There was plenty of space for my 2 young kids to run around, and there is lots of outdoor private space, including a lovely wooded area to explore. It was very clean and the beds were comfy with top quality linens. It's easy to get into Dartmouth and Blackpool Sands beach is only a short drive away. Shops and amenities feel close by but it still feels quiet and remote too. Gorgeous views from every angle!

Such a wonderful place to stay, we had a lovely time with our two children enjoying the peace and tranquillity and the beautiful gardens, and made good use of the tennis court as well. We will be back I’m sure - it’s a beautiful place in a magical location. ”
