Description from owner
Description
Island House boasts an enviable position in a beautiful rural location and a large fully enclosed garden with a patio. The property was tastefully and thoroughly renovated in 2014. Island House is set in the popular picture-postcard village of Stokenham, with its thatched cottages and overlooks the child friendly village green. The nearest beaches can be enjoyed less than a mile away. The South West Coast Path, the longest footpath in Britain, passes close to the village and provides superb walking through stunning and dramatic countryside.
Nearby Kingsbridge is a busy market town distinguished by fine Tudor and Georgian buildings, with a largely Elizabethan colonnaded Shambles. A summer ferry runs from here to the sailing and holiday resort of Salcombe, whose calm waters are strewn with small craft, with the ruined Fort Charles at the entrance to the harbour injecting a touch of romance. Just east of Island House approximately 1m away is the lagoon of the Slapton Ley nature reserve which supports herons, terns, widgeon and great crested grebes.
Less than ten miles along the coast is Dartmouth, which is one of the most popular and picturesque tourist destinations in Devon, as it's not only close to the sea, but it's also situated on the River Dart.
Further afield is the unique resort of Torquay, where the small marina can seem almost Mediterranean, especially at night when coloured lights festoon the harbour.
The ground floor of the property is all on one level and comprises a hall which runs through the property. The hall provides access to new kitchen overlooking the rear private garden. The dining room can be accessed through double doors from the kitchen or from the Hall. The sitting room is comfortably furnished and includes a flat screen TV and DVD. The bathroom has a full size bath with shower over.
The two front bedrooms which both have a sea view have double beds. Whilst both rear bedrooms are arranged as twin rooms, one of which can be set up as double. All four bedrooms are well appointed and a good size. The first floor is completed by a WC. There is a further put up bed that can be used to accommodate a ninth visitor if required.

“A perfect family holiday home.”
This was our third holiday at Island House. The house is situated in a beautiful village located a few minutes drive from Torcross beach. The house provided everything we needed. It has a lovely, com… More

“Better than expected”
Island House is absolutely gorgeous. The photos don’t do it justice. Pretty much everything you need is there. Built in 1901 with big deep window seats to snooze on in the sunshine. Stokenham is a lovely little village away from the hustle and bustle of places like Salcombe but easily accessible to them. Totnes sea front is a 40 minute walk away, mostly off road. There you’ll find the Start Bay Inn - the best fish & chips Mom had ever had in her 86 year life! The beach there is stones / shingle and not great to walk on if you have any mobility issues, but the water is crystal clear. There are sand beaches nearby in Salcombe and Blackpool Sands. The two local pubs looked good but sadly, due to staff shortages, weren’t doing food during our stay. We noticed that a lot of places in the area (shops, restaurants, pubs) had signs for job vacancies. The Church in Stokenham has an interesting history and is amazing in its construction. Sadly the village green doesn’t allow dogs but the house has a secure garden to use. Will definitely return at some point

“Beautiful cottage, idyllic location”
The whole family had a great time at Island House with all ages catered for - walks, beaches, pubs and a lovely garden for chilling out. The facilities at the cottage are excellent with everything provided that visitors require. The owners were very helpful with pre visit information and the occasional query during it. Thank you.

“Idyllic”
We spent New Years weekend at Island House, we were hoping for a lovely cottage in a quaint Devonshire village with a quirky little pub and a few nice walks in which we could Enjoy with the dog and Island house did not disappoint!!! A beautiful house in a wonderfully rural setting, the views are stunning! We found not one but two pubs near by, we are a family with small children so found the Church Inn to be more suitable, a friendly welcome & great food. Walks/footpaths are plentiful and there are some lovely places to visit just a short drive. Start Point lighthouse was amongst the favourites. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Island House and definitely look forward to returning in the near future.
