About this cottage rental

Please note - check-in and check-out day for weekly reservations is on a Saturday. Please contact me if a different day is requested, thanks.Snuggle up for the good times in our beautiful Manuka Cottage, perfect for families with children and pets with our private, enclosed garden, leading out from a beautifully maintained cottage. Enjoy a glass of bubbly in our gorgeous 7 seater Blue Whale Spa with crystal clear water – either under the stars or after a hard day crabbing with the kids, maintained at 38 degrees, year round. Children and pets are safe in our fully enclosed private garden, which is astro-turfed, so you can really wind down.

We are nestled in the beautiful village of Stoke Gabriel and have the best of both worlds. Our friendly village is situated on the River Dart and has 2 village pubs, Emma's Restaurant (you may need to book weeks in advance) and gourmet cafe, The River Shack, on The Dart. We also have Sharpham Vineyard at Sandridge Barton, just a walk away where you can spend the afternoon sampling! We are a 10 minute drive from Torbay’s Goodrington and Broadsands beaches and the many attractions of Torbay, such as Splashdown Water Park, Paignton Zoo, the South Devon Coast Path, Agatha Christie's National Trust home at Greenway and the coastal Steam Railway. Along with the beautiful array of cafes and bars on the waterfront, we have so much to do right on our doorstep!

Our comfortable living room boasts a 55" Sky Glass TV complete with Netflix and huge Lounge Co sofa and comfortable Cotswold Co chair. This opens onto the garden so you can literally open the house up in the summer and let the family enjoy!
The dining room, off the kitchen, has a six seater table, is fully heated and has board games for the family for an evening of good times after dinner.
We have a well-equipped kitchen, with everything you’d expect complete with a dishwasher, Tassimo coffee-machine with pods, perfect for those Sunday mornings..there’s an armchair in the corner, so just put your feet up with your mug and grab that book you’ve been meaning to read.

Out and About
Idyllic Stoke Gabriel has two proper old villagey pubs, the Church House Inn and The Castle which does a gorgeous Sunday Roast. We have a village shop for your Sunday paper or hot sausage roll or take a stroll down to the beautiful River Dart where you can hire out canoes or the kids can go crabbing and visit to the River Shack café perched on the riverside. The River Shack serves gourmet burgers, home made cakes and children's food. Visit the churchyard with one of the oldest Yew Trees in Britain, said to date back 1000 years. There are two lovely parks for the children, Sandridge Barton, the home of Sharpham Vinyard, is just a walk away. Here you can take a walk around the vineyard or sit and sample the wines in a beautiful barn courtyard setting.

For adventure seekers and lovers of the outdoors, Torbay is a ten-minute drive away, offering many (17!) beaches and coves where the natural beauty can be explored with open countryside walks across Elberry Cove and the South Devon Coast Path and with the many water sports for hire and excursions with paddleboarding, kayaking, coasteering, sea fishing, jet skiing.
We have so many attractions in Torbay which include the Steam Railway along the beach fronts to Kingswear, Paignton Zoo, Babbacombe Model Village, the Vue Cinema, Paignton Pier, Splashdown Water Park (the largest water park in the UK), Brixham Fish Market and Restaurants, Torquay and Brixham Marina’s and Agatha Christie’s former home at Greenway. There is also a buzzing nightlife in Torquay with funky bars and places to eat on the Quayside and beachside.
Dartmouth is just over the river, a pretty boutique town on the banks of the River Dart with Woodlands Theme Park nearby and Exeter with Crealy Theme Park for the thrill seekers. Dartmoor, wonderful for wild open walks and meals by a roaring pub firesides is 30 minutes away and Totnes, a historic hippy castle town is 10 minutes drive on the way to Plymouth, a 40-minute drive away.
There is so much to do in our lovely part of the world, we’d love to help you make the most of it.

A lovely property in a lovely location. In the countryside but a short drive to all of the local attractions. Stayed for a long weekend and would definitely return. The garden gets good sunshine and is mostly fake grass so doesn't get muddy if it rains. The cottage was clean and well equipped. The walk in shower cubicle is in a small ensuite but there's an over bath shower in the bigger main bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped and there were tea bags and coffee pods already there for us.

We stayed at Manuka cottage for 5 weeks, of all the places we have stayed over the years Deb is by far the best host we have experienced, very friendly and attentive to all our needs. The property itself is beautiful, spacious, providing everything that we needed, very comfortable beds and based within a quiet area. The biggest perk would have to be the hottub which as a family we enjoyed very much. Over all a luxury experience and we would definitely come back again at some point. Thanks for everything Deb, hope to see you again soon 😊

Wonderful welcome as house was decorated with Christmas tree and decorations, a cream tea and a bottle of Prosecco. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the owner was very attentive to all our needs. Comfortable rooms with an amazing TV which was much better than our own!

We had a lovely week in the great property. Traditional English September weather with a mix of rain, sun and gale force winds, but no matter as it allowed us to simply enjoy our surroundings. Everything from the Sky Glass TV, the luxurious hot-tub, good Wi-Fi, and comfy beds and furniture was spot on and made for a very relaxing time. Village itself is lovely with the absence of street lights making for a spectacular night sky. The River Shack, a 10 min walk, was a lovely spot with good, reasonably priced food and good beer. Was a good base for exploring both Devon and Cornwall. Dog friendly beach at Goodrington was just a15 min drive away and much enjoyed by Duffy. Whilst we didn’t get to meet Deb, she checked in regularly to make sure everything was ok, which it was. Will not hesitate to book again when we next return to Devon.
