Larches Cottage is ideally placed for all the attractions of this beautiful corner of South Devon. The southerly location and warm Gulf Stream air ensure one of the mildest climates in the whole of Britain. The summers are long, autumns warm and winters mild, so that you can enjoy a visit at any time of the year.
The area is one of exceptional beauty and contrast - a rural patchwork of fields, woodlands, rivers, estuaries, rolling hills and moorland which surround historic towns and pretty villages. Much of the spectacular coastline and countryside has been protected from the ravages of modern development. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the South Hams is ideal for short breaks and walking holidays.
Larches is a recently built cottage that makes a fine addition to Buckland Court Cottages. These enjoy all the attractive amenities provided for this lovely collection of old, rebuilt barns nestling deep in the heart of the South Hams.
Larches is one of three terraced cottages situated around their own gravelled courtyard. All have been totally rebuilt from the ground up with a sensitive application of both modern and traditional materials. It has been built to a high standard with carpeting throughout and fitted with comfortable furniture and furnishings. Gas fired central heating and double glazing ensure this cottage is ideal for off-season use.
