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 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 bringing a dog please see below:

We want all our guests and their dogs to enjoy The Coach House.  We kindly ask that you carefully read and follow a few rules to help to ensure that this is the case.
PLEASE….
Do not leave your dog unattended in The Coach House at any time.  
PLEASE….
Do not let your dog inside The Coach House if it is wet, sandy or dirty.  Please clean and dry your dog before allowing it into the property.  We have provided a hose for this purpose (although you do need to bring your own dog towels please).  Please do not use the bath towels to dry your dog.
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.
PLEASE….
Clear up any dog mess from the gardens/woods.  There are children living and visiting Lower Coombe Royal who enjoy playing care free in the garden.  A dog poo littered garden really isn’t pleasant for the person mowing the lawn either!!  We have provided bags and a small bin outside for dog mess.
PLEASE...                                                                                                                                            Keep your dog on a lead AT ALL TIMES.

THANK YOU….
