With sea and garden views, they range in size from two to four bedrooms - some ensuite or with four romantic poster beds.

Winscott Cottage, Winscott Barton and Winscott Bushel form 3 historic self-catering units, set on 100 acres farmland with sheep and three fishing lakes. With the coast only 3-miles away giving the opportunity for surfing, swimming and sun. Delightful southerly views of fishing lakes and fields to Dartmoor on the distant horizon. Peacefully secluded, they are a haven of wildlife, with owls , badger setts, kingfishers etc. There's a large play area with slide, roundabout and swings and a space for ball games.
