Built in a traditional Devon style, Pool Cottage is modern family home which meets all the criteria for that memorable holiday break in a superb waterside setting with plenty of space and comfort.  Here you can enjoy refreshments at The River Shack, a few steps from the cottage, feed the ducks and swans, watch the children crabbing, walk out to the point where the creek meets the river Dart, or just sit and enjoy the tranquil views from the balcony. The cottage is on the edge of the Stoke Gabriel Mill pool and has superb uninterrupted views across the water from the spacious, reverse level living room and the double bedroom downstairs.

This unspoilt thriving village nestles on a creek on the edge of the River Dart and enjoys a beautiful tree fringed Mill pool, now a source of much enjoyment for all from kayaking, crabbing, pottering around in boats, to peaceful riverbank walks. The quay opens out to the wide stretches of the River Dart, so bring your boat, launch from the slipway (Dart Harbour Authority Licence required) and explore the dreamy waters of the Dart estuary, a haven for boat enthusiasts. Not much further afield are the South Hams' secluded beaches and coves to discover, or the wild expanses of Dartmoor to roam. This is South Devon at its best.

Outside:

The balcony extending from the living room has table, chairs and very fine views across the Mill pool which is home to egrets, cormorants, herons and several varieties of geese as well as mallards, gulls and swans. There is a pleasant sunny garden with lawn which surrounds two sides of the cottage. It is gated and enclosed with low stone walls and provides a perfect spot for relaxing or for letting the little ones play. The garden overlooks the village green area alongside the Mill Pool (at busy times this is used for overflow car parking). There is storage space for a small dinghy or kayaks (not secure) in the garden.
