The property is located on The English Riviera in the very far south west of England. It enjoys a unique micro climate which means it is milder than most other parts of the UK in winter time.

The property is a five minute walk from these facilities and from key bus routes which give guests access to the whole of The English Riviera. Slightly further afield are the regional cities of Exeter and Plymouth as well as the majestic and brooding Dartmoor National Park. To the west of The English Riviera lies the beautiful areas known as the South Hams with beaiutful towns such as Salcombe, Dartmouth and Totnes.
