Galmpton is a charming village located in the Greenway region, halfway between Paignton and Brixham, where there are well-kept walks with breathtaking views of the River Dart and chances for ferry trips along the river in the direction of Dartmouth. The Manor Inn, a welcoming pub in the community, serves up hearty, traditional fare that is best enjoyed with a glass of wine or a beer. Galmpton also boasts a well-stocked post office and village shop where guests may get all they need for a self-catered holiday. Elberry Cove and Broadsands Beach are also easily accessible from Galmpton, giving visitors simple access to Devon's lovely coastline. Galmpton is a great starting point for golfers who love putting because Churston and Approach Golf Courses are both nearby.

As described We had a simply magical time. Really restful watching the water ebb and flow. Would definitely recommend we couldn't have improved our stay.

We had such a wonderful stay. The owners, Penny and Sam, clearly love what they do and put so much care and attention into this special place. We stayed for four days, two 'adventure days' and two for relaxing. We kayaked on the Dart and hiked a stretch of the SW coast path, visited the Greenway, Dartmouth and Broadsands. The weather was very kind to us so we ate almost every meal on the lovely balcony overlooking the dart. Perfect spot for a good sunset. Missing this special place already and would love to come back!

Given the time of the year (weather getting cooler) we had some initial minor issues that were quickly resolved by the helpful and friendly folk looking after the property. The instructions on how to reach the accommodation are clear but people should be made aware of how narrow the access road is and that if you have limited mobility to ask the owners if parking could be arranged close to the accommodation as it is a bit of a climb to reach the top car parking area.
