There is a 4ft drop into the field, and a covered pond in the rear garden, 3 yards away.. The graceful spire of Holbeton church greets you first as you enter this tranquil Devon valley - along with a sign to let you know that you are now in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Then, almost immediately, you get your first glimpse of your stunningly beautiful detached property as you drive through the exquisite craftsman made metal gates. This unusual and much loved home is the perfect retreat. You will almost certainly take breakfast in the sun room as you plan your day, and, what could be a nicer start, than by feeding the koi carp in their 28 foot long, hand tiled water feature whilst sipping your first cuppa! The fully equipped kitchen opens onto the calm and inviting dining area that features a large marble top table. As you explore the house, you will first be delighted at the original art on the walls. Be prepared to have your breath taken away by the fabulous, handmade, wrought iron staircase and you’ll know that you are somewhere very special. The downstairs open plan living area is light and comfortable and perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the spectacular views. Should the weather keep you indoors, simply settle back with Netflix, for a truly cosy evening. The totally private landscaped gardens are yours to enjoy, as are an extra two acres of pasture which are perfect for dog walking. You can spend your afternoons chilling on the sunny, south facing deck watching the wildlife of this peaceful Devon valley.
Alternatively, take a 2-mile walk to the coast through secluded woodland to laze on sandy Mothecombe beach. Totnes, a handsome market town in the South Hams, is easily reached and river cruises can be taken from here down to Dartmouth during the summer months. The owner lives close by and is on hand for help and local knowledge. Whatever you decide, you’ll certainly want to round off the evening with a soak under the stars in your private hot tub with its magically lit amphitheatre. Your stay here at Pentire will rejuvenate and delight you and when you leave you will probably be planning your next visit before you even drive out of the gates! Please note that the koi carp pond can be covered with secure netting on request. Parents with small children should also be aware that the garden has an unfenced drop. Bird watching, horse riding, golf and fishing can all be found locally. Beach 2¼ miles. Shop pub and restaurant 150 yards.

A truly delightful cottage. All the rooms are decorated to give a homely feel. The views of the outside are of open countryside, with fields and cows.The gardens surrounding the cottage are well maintained with a Mediterranean feel. The koi fish pond is mesmerising to sit and watch. The hot tub is positioned in a secluded area to the side of the building and is gently lit of a night.Peter, the owner, is available to offer advice about the area. There are many places of interest to visit just a short drive away.We would definatly recomend staying here if you are looking for comfort and space just a short distance from Plymouth.

A lovely comfortable home with everything you need and more! Our stay at Pentire was very relaxing. There are plenty of days out and places to visit close by and we enjoyed the walk to the local beach at Mothecombe. Holbeton is peaceful but also has a little shop and pub. The owner Pete is just next door. So around to help if needed, but equally left us to enjoy our break and respected our privacy. The views are lovely, furniture and beds are comfy, and we lived feeding the fish. A beautiful place so definitely worth a visit.
