About this property

Barn Style Conversion With Lovely Open Rural Views

The overall appearance of Woodside View is similar to a barn conversion with the lower walls in natural stone, upper areas clad in cedar wood and the roof is in local slate. The design is intended to blend in with the surrounding woodland and countryside. The large feature apex window affords superb open views of the woods and skyline where the sun rises. Ideally situated with Dartmouth 4 miles (10mins drive) and the other principle towns of Totnes, Kingsbridge and Salcombe within easy reach.

Very well appointed property, lovely big window in lounge, the bed was very comfortable, we felt relaxed in the property which was important as we didn’t have the best weather with a couple of very rainy days. However we did enjoy getting out and visited some of the lovely local beauty spots including Salcombe, Dartmouth and Totnes. Hosts were friendly and helpful.

Lovely stay

We had a great time at Woodside View. The property is super. All of the fixtures and fittings are of excellent quality. The place is like new. Spotlessly clean and nicely located for a quiet break, with Dartmouth, Salcombe and Plymouth all within easy reach. Karen & David we’re away for a large part of our stay but this wasn’t a problem. Check in was easy and plenty of information was given in advance and left in the property regarding places to visit and things to do. Would certainly recommend and will visit again.

Woodside View

We stayed at this property for a week in mid June and had a marvellous stay. The apartment is lovely and the views of the surrounding countryside are idyllic. The owners gave us a really helpful introduction and all the appliances worked well. The location is ideal for visits to Dartmouth- (great for meals, ferries and historic views)and surrounding area - we spent several days walking sections of the South West Coastal path which is terrific, and visited several very interesting National Trust properties which are very nearby. It’s a truly beautiful part of the country and we absolutely recommend the apartment and the location for an amazing holiday

Absolutely lovely place to stay

This was such a lovely place to stay, it had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. And the views through the front window were wonderful. It’s in such a central location and easy to get anywhere. The communication from the Karen and David was excellent, and some great recommendation on places to eat (the pub at Blackawton is a 10 minute walk and is well worth a visit but best book).. wholeheartedly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by David and Karen White

Host profile image
We moved down to the South Hams in 2010 after living in Bath for 25 years. This area was well known to us after having spent many enjoyable holidays with our family in the past.
We are now semi retired and are fully integrated into the local community.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be close to the main principal towns in the South Hams - Totnes, Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Dartmouth. David in particular has always had a desire to be close to the sea and beaches.

What makes this property unique

Blackawton seemed the ideal choice for our move being just outside the village but within walking distance from local pub, restaurant, village shop etc.
With its wonderful panaramic views and wildlife we knew Woodside seemed the perfect location.
