About this property

Challaborough 1 mile. 3 Cumberland Cottages is a charming Grade II listed thatched cottage around 400 years old nestled in the quaint village of Ringmore, Devon. Just a short stroll from the cottage, you'll find the South West Coastal Path and Challaborough Beach, a tranquil cove with a golden sandy beach, set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a haven for surfers. The cottages warm, homely interior is full of character, boasting period features such as exposed beams, stone walls, and quaint nooks and crannies. This enchanting cottage is the perfect romantic retreat for two, offering an inviting sanctuary for quiet evenings after a day spent exploring the stunning countryside or relaxing on the beach. Step outside to discover a private courtyard garden with cottage shrubs and seating, a lovely place to relax with a refreshing drink or to dine alfresco. Curl up in the sitting room with your favourite shows on the TV, enveloped by the warmth of the woodburning stove. Cook up a hearty meal together, which can be enjoyed at the dining table while planning the next day's adventures. When eyes grow weary, retire to the tastefully-presented double bedroom, featuring soothing wooden tones that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Freshen up in the well-appointed bathroom, where you can rinse the sand from between your toes with a soothing soak in the tub or a quick rinse in the shower over. Ringmore is home to the charming 13th-century pub, Journey’s End Inn, where you can enjoy delicious meals made with locally sourced ingredients. Just a short drive away is Bigbury-on-Sea, perfect for classic bucket-and-spade holidays and a haven for water sports enthusiasts, with opportunities for surfing, windsurfing, and kayaking. Equipment hire and lessons are available at the Discovery Surf School. After an action-packed day on the water, be sure to visit the Venus Café, renowned for its organic, free-range dishes served year-round. For those who prefer to stay on land, there’s an 18-hole clifftop golf course offering breath-taking sea views. Bigbury is home to the iconic Burgh Island, a stunning landmark that overlooks the beach. At low tide, a causeway is revealed, allowing visitors to walk across to the island, whilst at high tide, the only way to reach it is aboard the unique sea tractor. The island is renowned for its striking Art Deco architecture and holds a special place in literary history as the inspiration for Agatha Christie’s famous murder mystery 'And Then There Were None'. For outdoor enthusiasts, the South West Coastal Path offers some of the most breath-taking walking routes, right from your doorstep. If you can bear to leave this peaceful haven, the nearby charming towns of Modbury, Salcombe, and Kingsbridge are well worth a visit, and further afield, you can explore the historic sites of Plymouth, the picturesque town of Dartmouth, and the wild beauty of Dartmoor National Park. 3 Cumberland Cottages offers a perfect romantic retreat by the sea.
