Joymead is a delightful retreat situated in the heart of Malborough, Devon, conveniently close to a welcoming pub, a handy shop, and three stunning beaches.

With roadside parking and a nearby free car park, this seaside haven warmly welcomes two well-behaved dogs, making it perfect for families or groups of friends.

Upon entering Joymead, you will be greeted by a spacious kitchen/diner, fully equipped to cater to all your culinary needs throughout your stay.

Here, you can gather around the dining table to enjoy home-cooked meals, sharing stories of your Devon adventures.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the sitting room offers an inviting retreat, complete with a Smart TV and a warming woodburning stove, perfect for those chillier evenings.

The property boasts three well-presented bedrooms, ensuring a flexible sleeping arrangement for all.

Choose from a super-king-size room, which can be converted into a twin on request, a relaxing double room, and a single room, complete with a cot and an array of kids toys for the smallest members of the group.

A family bathroom, fitted with a bath, basin, and WC, serves these rooms, providing a space to unwind and soak after a day of exploration.

Outside, the enclosed garden is a haven for both relaxation and entertainment.

Enjoy a morning coffee on the patio, or spend sunny afternoons lounging on the lawn.

The garden furniture and barbecue invite you to dine alfresco.

Venture to the nearby National Trust protected South Milton Sands, a dazzling beach perfect for soaking up the Devon sun, while the renowned Overbeck's Garden enchants visitors with its exotic plants and inspiring views overseas.

A short drive will lead you to the National Trust's East Soar, a wildlife haven with sprawling cliffs and panoramic views, offering a scenic backdrop for memorable walks.

The National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth is a must-visit, home to an awe-inspiring array of marine life, while Central Park provides a lush environment for leisurely strolls and laid-back picnics.

Explore the unique charm of the historical Royal William Yard, offering boutique shops, age-old naval buildings, and a striking marina.

Indulge in a spot of seaside fun at Paignton Pier or delve into the miniature world of Babbacombe Model Village.

History buffs are sure to be impressed by the remarkable Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves, one of Europe's top prehistoric Stone Age caves.

Really lovely home from home.

Fantastic for children, my son loved the toys in the living area and the fab children's bedroom. Perfect holiday stay for a family. And The Old Inn pub opposite was the cherry on top, lovely staff and great drinks and food.

A great place to stay with a lovely garden.

We visited with 2 dogs and we had plenty of space. Though it was June, the weather closed in and we stayed nice and warm inside! It is a 10 min bus or 40 min walk down to Salcombe, Bolberry Down is about 1.5 miles away down narrow lanes. No reserved parking, though the village hall car park is a 100m walk away, so not a problem at all. Two very minor things- the guide left in the property was out of date- referring to a local Co-op that is now an Asda, and also both of the toilet seats were very loosely attached.
