About this property

The Coach House @ Lower Coombe Royal Family/Dogs

The Lower Coombe Royal estate is hidden away among acres of historic gardens on the edge of Kingsbridge, near Salcombe, in South Devon yet it is just 10 minutes walk from the thriving market town centre. The 200 year old Coach House is nestled up the valley, hidden away in its own private glade. It is on the edge of the apple orchard and the historic American Garden.

This cosy 3-bedroom stone cottage is the perfect family hideaway. We offer you peace and tranquillity as well as adventure in our 8 acres of beautiful gardens and woods, all within five minutes’ walk of the amenities of Kingsbridge and ten minutes' drive from beautiful sandy South Hams beaches. There is a play area and football pitch to keep the children entertained too.

The cottage has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, accommodating up to six people plus a cot. It's a topsy-turvy house - the bedrooms are downstairs and the open-plan living space is upstairs, from where the terrace is accessed.

Upstairs
A sturdy Edwardian wooden staircase leads up to the bright, airy open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The kitchen, dining and sitting rooms are conveniently combined and open-plan. The kitchen comes well-equipped - the cream cupboards contain plenty of crockery, glasses and cookware for family meals, as well as other useful gadgets like a food blender and a Nespresso Coffee machine. The living area has comfy sofa as well as a dining table and chairs. A stable door leads from the living room out onto a private terrace, surrounded by camellias and old apple trees, where you will find a large wooden patio table with reclining chairs, parasol and a barbecue. If you fancy a night in, there's a flat screen television with Free View channels and a DVD player. (A range of DVDs is available.) There is puzzles, games and toys which can be borrowed on request.

PLEASE….

PLEASE….
Bring your own dog bed.  We ask that dogs do not go on any of the furniture and that they do not go downstairs, please use the upstairs stable door.  This is very important as some of our guests are allergic to dog hair.  We have provided a stair gate to make it easier for you in case they are tempted.

Perfect break
We’ve just come back from this perfect hideaway. Everything that was needed was in close proximity of the property and the additional bonus onsite of children’s play area as well as the beautiful walk and the rope swings which the children loved! Julie and Paul were more than accommodating and great hosts! We’re in the process of rebooking!

Sunny break in Devon
The booking process was easy and the detailed information sent by Julie before we arrived was very helpful. The Coach House was well laid out and had everything we needed and is set in beautiful grounds. It is in a great location to explore the nearby coast. We will definitely return and recommend to friends.

Lower coombe Royal The Coachhouse
The Coachhouse was very comfortable with great beds and bedding, nestled among a rural woodland as described and a very peaceful setting. Julie and Paul extremely helpful hosts, Paul went way beyond by towing the car from it's position after getting stuck between two edging logs, it was a cold Sunday morning! A lovely stay overall.

Lovely time, would stay again
We loved our stay in the coach house. The property was a lovely standard and modern but still charming. All the beds and bedding were comfy, and the showers too. The house itself is in a unique little mini site which was great for our dog to explore, and beautiful for us to stroll through too. The garden patio was great for BBQs and evening drinks, but we did need to block the patio sides a bit so our dog would escape and take himself off chasing rabbits! Makeshift gates did the job, but might be useful to have something there as we’d love to stay again. Also walking distance to Kingsbridge, easy parking, easy to find and close to lots of beaches and other beauty spots. We hope to stay again in the future!

Excellent location, and comfortable house
We had a lovely holiday in the Coach House. It was very well appointed, clean and the hosts, Julie and Paul, were welcoming and responsive. We found the living area of the house a little small for 6, but the bedrooms very spacious and the grounds delightful!
