    “This was one of the loveliest properties I have ever stayed in.”

    It was a beautiful location, utterly peaceful and scenic and so romantic. The accommodation was so comfortable and spacious. It was a real bonus to have a piano (though it did require reconditioning and tuning). Everything was very clean and well-maintained and we much appreciated the milk, tea, coffee, cake and cookies etc. provided on arrival.

    Lovely to receive such positive feedback! The Collard and Collard grand piano is serviced annually and tuned at least twice a year. We would encourage any keen pianists to contact us ahead of arrival so we can optimise the tuning for them. Property Owner

Chantry Cottages

A mile from Aveton Gifford, 300 yards down a tree-lined track off a lane, four very special places to stay within handsome former farm buildings: an airy converted barn (976186), a barn converted into a gallery (976176) overlooking meadows, a remarkable Grade II listed former music room (976188), and a stone-built barn conversion (1201035). A large, pretty, enclosed suntrap courtyard. Just outside the courtyard, a lawned walled garden (also enclosed) with camellias, fig and walnut trees, leading to another garden with a pond (unfenced) and six grassy acres with a big wildlife pond (fenced), vast lawn for picnics and croquet, a picnic table, benches with intense views and big trees to sit under. Relax, read or just enjoy the silence and let your mind wander. Bright and airy in the summer or cosy as a winter retreat, with wonderful walks from the door and beaches within easy reach. Aveton Gifford: old village (pub, PO/shop) beside the River Avon where it becomes tidal. Within 5 or 6 miles are several villages: Bigbury, Bantham and Thurlestone on an excellent and varied stretch of coast: sandy beaches, coves, cliffs, golf courses, the Avon estuary. The Chantry Cottages are a lovely base for checking out the delights of South Devon's coast and countryside, allowing you to surf, walk, check out rock pools, play golf and make sandcastles to your hearts content. A peaceful, curative oasis, good for taking it easy. Kingsbridge, 4 miles.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
