Alternatively you can explore the historic towns of Dartmouth, Totnes and Kingsbridge with their cobbled streets, small shops and ancient buildings. In addition, this part of South Devon is blessed with an unusually mild climate, so mild that Salcombe has the largest Subtropical garden in mainland England!
Nestling in its own secluded valley within the South Devon National Trust Coastal Park, Hope Barton Barns is an exclusive group of traditional stone barns just a short walk from the sea. Each one has its own distinctive character, and has been sensitively converted by local craftsmen to complement and enhance its rural environment by using original features such as exposed beams, stonework and brick arches. Attention to detail has created self catering cottages and self catering apartments of rare quality, to be enjoyed throughout all the seasons of the year in Devon.
Hope Barton has its own private farm of pastures, streams, trout lakes, woodland and bracken covered hills. It also features the best modern amenities you could want for your self catering holiday, including an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, gym, library and lounge bar, while outside are the all weather tennis court, boules terrain and trout lakes. Available from the farmhouse kitchen is a varied and exciting range of food, including home made jams, and dishes such as locally caught fish in a creamy sauce and Devon lamb with fresh rosemary, thereby allowing you catering freedom.
