About the host

Hosted by Amanda

Host profile image
We’re Mandy and Martin, and we live just along the coast in Torquay, but Galmpton has always felt like part of our family story. My grandparents and parents lived in the village, and many of my childhood memories are tied to its lanes, beaches and the gentle curve of the River Dart. My grandfather was Agatha Christie’s bank manager and knew her personally, so stories of Greenway and the Christie family were simply part of everyday life growing up.

The cottage reflects everything we love about this area: peaceful corners, sea air, friendly pubs, and the feeling of stepping into a slower rhythm. I’ve always been happiest near the water and spend as much time as I can boating, diving and enjoying the coastline. Martin is never far from an engine—boats, outboards, anything mechanical that hums—and he has a real affection for the maritime character of Torbay and the Dart.

We’ve shaped Wildflowers Cottage to be a place where guests can truly unwind. It’s comfortable, calm and filled with thoughtful touches: a sunny garden for morning coffee, a conservatory for relaxed meals, and cosy spaces to read, chat or plan the next adventure. Dogs are warmly welcomed, because we know how important it is to travel with every member of the family, and the local walks are some of the best in Devon.

Our hope is that you’ll feel the same sense of ease and belonging here that our family has felt for generations. Whether you’re exploring the beaches, discovering the footpaths, enjoying the steam train or simply sitting in the garden listening to the birds, Wildflowers Cottage is a place to slow down, breathe out and enjoy the beauty of South Devon.

Why they chose this property

We’re Mandy and Martin, we live in Torbay and Galmpton will always feel like home. My family has lived in the village for three generations, and many of my happiest childhood summers were spent here. I grew up exploring the green lanes, watching the steam train rumble past and collecting shells on Broadsands Beach. The village is woven into our family history in a lovely way, my Grandpa was the bank manager of the Brixham branch of Lloyds Bank and he was Agatha Christie’s bank manager, knowing her personally. Stories of Greenway and the Christie family were simply part of everyday life.

We both love the coast and spend as much time as we can on the water. I enjoy boating, diving and anything that involves the sea, while Martin is happiest around engines, boats, outboards, anything mechanical with character. He has a real affection for the maritime heritage of Torbay and the River Dart and we both enjoy the watching the steam train or taking a walk down to the shore. Wildflowers Cottage reflects what we value most: comfort, calm and a sense of belonging. We’ve shaped it to be a place where guests can truly unwind, with a sunny garden for morning coffee, a conservatory for relaxed meals, and cosy corners to read, chat or plan the next adventure. Dogs are warmly welcomed, because we know how important it is to travel with every member of the family, and the local walks are some of the loveliest in Devon. Our hope is that you’ll feel the same ease and warmth in Galmpton that our family has felt for generations. Whether you’re exploring the beaches, discovering the footpaths, enjoying the steam train or simply sitting in the garden listening to the birds, Wildflowers Cottage offers a gentle, peaceful place to slow down and enjoy the beauty of South Devon.

What makes this property unique

Wildflowers Cottage is unique because it’s more than a holiday home, it’s part of a three generation family story rooted in the heart of Galmpton. My grandparents and parents lived in the village, and many of my childhood summers were spent exploring the green lanes, watching the steam train pass by and collecting shells on Broadsands Beach. My Grandpa was the bank manager of the Brixham branch of Lloyds Bank and personally knew Agatha Christie, so stories of Greenway and the Christie family were woven into everyday life. That sense of heritage and belonging gives the cottage a warmth you can feel the moment you arrive.

The cottage itself offers a peaceful, private setting with a pretty garden, a sunny conservatory and quiet corners to relax after a day exploring the coast. Guests love dining in the conservatory overlooking the garden or enjoying breakfast outside in the fresh air. The long driveway provides easy parking for two cars, and the location is ideal for discovering the River Dart, Broadsands Beach, Elberry Cove and the beautiful South Devon coastline.

We welcome dogs because we know how important it is to travel with every member of the family. The walks nearby are some of the loveliest in Devon, from gentle riverside paths to coastal routes with stunning views. The steam train, vintage bus to Greenway, and nearby ferries to Dartmouth and Dittisham add a nostalgic charm that makes a stay here feel special.

Wildflowers Cottage stands out because it combines comfort, heritage and a true sense of place. It’s a home filled with family history, seaside memories and thoughtful touches designed to help guests slow down, unwind and enjoy the best of South Devon.
