Bow Bridge House

About this property

Situated in a wonderfully idyllic position, nestled alongside a tranquil creek and amongst the rolling hills of the South Hams, the stunning Grade II Listed Bow Bridge House, is truly the ideal place for your peaceful Devon escape. Effortlessly blending the old with the new through original character features and contemporary specifications, guests will appreciate the impressive interiors of the traditional sitting room, bespoke shaker style kitchen, stylish snug/TV room and the contemporary, architecturally designed sunroom. Continuing to be a much cherished and regularly enjoyed family holiday home, guests will quickly welcome the elegant, country style presentation, as well as the many thoughtful additional touches, all in place to provide a comfortable and memorable holiday experience. For those seeking some outside fun, look no further than throwing open the large patio doors, cooling off with a paddle in the shallow Harbourne River (as it meanders its way to the River Dart), jumping in the canoe for a trip down river, sitting back and enjoying a glass of something special in the hot tub or sneaking away to a quiet nook in the beautiful mature gardens (including a small island in the river). On cooler days, time to get cosy in front of the log fires, settle down in the snug to watch a movie on the large wall-mounted TV or enjoy a spot of stargazing from the hot tub at night. Whatever the weather, with a large fully-fitted and extensively equipped kitchen, guests can enjoy home cooking in comfort, making use of the Big Green Egg barbeque and eating alfresco on the patio or simply preparing something special to enjoy in the light, spacious dining area.

With versatile living accommodation, attractive gardens and outside facilities, as well as an enviable riverside position with three popular countryside pubs all within approximately half a miles walk, Bow Bridge House really is the ideal place for extended families, sharing friends or even smaller groups to come and relax at any time of the year.

Bookable alongside either 3 Bow (sleeping up to 10 in total) and 2 Bow (sleeping up to 12) or all together sleeping a maximum of 14. Please note this property is not suitable for stag and hen parties.
