“If you're looking for the sunshine, this is the house to find find it!”
We had such a lovely summer holiday at Kittiwake, the house is absolutely lovely and the view is just stunning. The house is just as the pictures show and has everything a family wants and needs. We were welcomed with cake and everything needed to make a hot drink and even wine!
There is a big box of games in the living room that the kids enjoyed playing with and plenty of space for everyone. The third bedroom is an annex connected to the side of the house but has a separate entrance. As our children are small we decided not to use this room, as there is plenty of space in both other rooms to accommodate an extra bed/ cot. There is a lovely fire pan outside and everything supplied to have a fire (except matches). We toasted marshmallows and had fish and chips from the take-away van that comes on a Monday evening. Just down the hill from the house, less than a minutes walk is a big open field, tennis courts (adults £2.50/ children £1 - bring your own rackets) and wooden play area - which everyone really enjoyed. About 3 minutes walk form the house, is the creek side. We had lots of fun watching the tide come in and out. We ended up buying a boat, as it was so easy to carry down and had lots of fun paddling/ swimming and rowing the boat! The garage is an excellent place to store any equipment and had a full washing machine and dryer to use, which was really useful.
There are two pubs within a 5 minute walk, we preferred the food at the The Ship but both were nice and The Swan does Chinese food on a Tuesday night. Noss Mayo itself is just a beautiful place to be but it doesn't take long to visit other areas too. We enjoyed River Dart Country Park, Cellars beach, Thurlestone Sands, House of Marbles, Salicombe and went on a boat trip from Brixham and saw dolphins!
Kittiwake is an absolutely great house to stay in and throughly recommended. A big thank you to Iain and Annie for such a fabulous holiday house.
