3-Bedroom Hot Tub Cottage in Ash

With its cosy and welcoming interiors, mature gardens, outdoor hot tub and barrel sauna, this charming cottage provides the ultimate rural retreat. Perched on a quiet country lane in the hamlet of Ash, it benefits from easy access to the historic town of Dartmouth and the beaches and attractions of the Start Bay coast.

Sleeping four people in the main cottage with an annexe for an additional two if required, this dog-friendly abode is perfect for a family holiday or a getaway with friends. Spread over two levels, this cottage is warm and homely from the moment you step inside.

Set on a beautiful parquet floor with a wood burner in an impressive fireplace, the lounge invites cosy evenings and fireside chats. Two steps lead up to the fitted kitchen which has warm wooden cabinets and a breakfast bar, along with a large, farmhouse-style dining table.

Upstairs, there’s a light-filled king-size bedroom with bi-fold doors leading out to the patio, along with a twin bedroom and a family bathroom. The exterior of this property is a real bonus.

The garden is raised with steps up from the ground floor, opening out to decking with a picnic table, and an extended lawn that’s perfect for children and dogs to play safely. Feel cleansed and rejuvenated alternating between the sauna and hot tub and enjoy evenings stargazing.

There’s an additional annexe with twin beds, a TV and a small sofa, but no en-suite facilities. There is an additional charge of £75 for use of the annexe.

Lace up your walking boots to discover trails around the property, or set out to explore the craggy coastline, beautiful bays and historic sights of Start Bay. Blackpool Sands (2 miles) and Slapton Sands (5 miles) offer a traditional family day at the beach, and the entire area has gorgeous walks and fantastic birdwatching – you may even spot dolphins or seals offshore!
