About this property

Cosy Coastal Getaway, Thurlestone. Garden. Beaches. Log Burner. Dog Friendly

Commanding wonderful sea views, tucked away on the edge of the village you will find the tranquility of Peacehaven. The well equipped and comfortable two bedroom bungalow set in mature well maintained gardens enveloped by magnificent views sweeping across the valley, capturing the Avon Estuary, Bantham Beach, Burgh Island and out to sea. An ideal retreat to explore the finest beaches and coastal footpaths of the South Hams, many within walking distance. The nearby picturesque towns of Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Dartmouth offer an array of shops and low key attractions. Thurlestone is a popular village with pretty thatched cottages, an old church and post office. The Village Inn partially constructed from a stricken armada vessel draws an eclectic mix of local characters and visitors eager to sample the local ales. The village boasts one of the best hotels in Devon offering a restaurant, health spa and a 9 hole golf course open to non residents and a superb 18 hole links course.
The property is accessed from the private car-park via a short path. Entry may be made from both aspects.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This is an extremely comfortable and well equipped property, one of the best we’ve stayed in and we are quite fussy! The view is beautiful, the kitchen is very well equipped, we cooked most evenings and there was nothing we missed. The beds are comfortable and linen was of high quality. The weather was very wet and there was a couple of days we just watched Netflix and drank wine with the log burner going, but we’re very comfortable and happy doing so. A short walk down to a lovely little beach and plenty more around. Great communication from host Judy. Thank you :-)

A picture perfect place to stay. The views are simply stunning. This cosy costal getaway looks exactly as the photos. Just a short walk away you'll find the Village Inn which is worth visiting for food and/or a couple of drinks. There are plenty of walks on the doorstep to explore and the nearest beach is a 20 minute walk away. Bigbury, Bantham and Yarmer we're our favourites. Communication with the host was great. We would recommend.

Incredible views and cosy stay

Lovely bungalow with the most incredible view of Burgh Island and Bantham Bay. Fantastic walk across the fields and cliffs to get down to the beach. We stayed in Feb and had the beach to ourselves at times. Everything you could possibly need in the house, lovely log burner and well appointed kitchen. Comfortable beds and modern, clean bathroom. Highly recommend.

Peacehaven is a Little Gem

I have just had three nights at Peacehaven and I would highly recommend staying here. The bungalow is immaculately clean and very cosy. There’s a lovely sea theme throughout and the views are stunning. The beds are very comfortable, the shower is great and there’s everything you could need in the kitchen. Fast communication with owner.

Magical property, magical situation with magical views.

Just occasionally we come across a property that exceeds all our expectations. Internally every facility was provided, well furnished throughout in a very stylish manner. Both the kitchen and bathroom were modern and well maintained, making our stay extremely comfortable. The big big plus are the views from the lounge and garden both provided a breathtaking outlook along the coast toward Burgh Island and giving beautiful land and seascapes plus the most fantastic sunsets. Yes I really loved the place and can't wait to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs J Sullivan

Host profile image
I live in the Midlands with my husband. We try to regularly visit Thurlestone, our favourite place in the South Hams, as often as commitments allow. The property has been in the family for over 50 years, during this time it has been the hub for fabulous family beach holidays. I have tried to make the bungalow comfortable, a home from home for my guests to enjoy. I have repeat visitors year after year with some visitors even settling on their retirement in the neighbourhood. I would say if you love nature and walking and peace and quiet you will love the South Hams.

Why they chose this property

Tucked away in a corner of Thurlestone, but just a short stroll to the centre with thatched cottages, a Village Inn, a Post Office, a Church, and the 4 star Thurlestone Hotel. The village boasts a links golf course, tennis courts and access to the South West Coastal Path.
This cosy coastal property offers amazing views across the valley and out to sea, visible from the garden and inside the property. The house is fully equipped, comfortable beds, electric heating with a log burner for those cooler nights. The garden at the rear of the property is secure, with wood fencing on both sides and a double wire fence at the end of the garden so this does not impair the wonderful view we have across the valley and out to sea, with Burgh Island being a central point. We have a private parking space outside our own garage.
Shops in our nearest town of Kingsbridge have everything you need, from a fish shop, a bakers, small independent retailers, alongside large Tesco and Morrison's stores . Wonderful walks on the South West Coastal path which can be accessed from the property. Superb choice of wonderful sandy beaches, many within a 25 minute walk or 5 minute drive.

What makes this property unique

Thurlestone is an ideal place to stay if you like Walking, Bird Watching, Beaches, Nature, Golf, Tennis etc. A central position to explore the South Hams, with Salcombe, Hope Cove, Kingsbridge, Totnes and Dartmouth amongst the many places for a great day out. The Bungalow provides a Welcome Book giving you all the information you will need to maximise your stay including a list of local eateries. In the Summer you may see fantastic sunsets, a perfect end after a day at the beach, sitting in the garden enjoying a G&T while the BBQ sizzles away and the sun goes down. I would not recommend the area to anyone who wants busy night life. Entertainment here is more a great chat whilst enjoying a good meal ! There are 2 local Pubs one in The Village with good food and occasional quiz nights and music nights but we provide loads of Games and Videos, DVD's for your use.
