“The owner was very welcoming and helpful a lovely part of Devon accommodation was lovely.”
Mrs Daniel August 2019

“Little Skypen is an absolutely delightful place for a relaxing and peaceful holiday, in a beautiful and unspoilt coastal village with cliff top walks and secluded coves a short distance away.”
Ms Hull June 2019

“Cosy accommodation and nice owner in a lovely village.”

It was situated behind the church and the lane leading to it was covered in beautiful wild flowers. Our only problem was the wi-fi code did not work.Very minor problem.The local pub did a lovely roast dinner. Nearby in St Anne's chapel has a shop a another decent pub that does standard pub grub. Would recommend and happily stay again.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to our feedback request for your recent stay at Little Scypen. We are sorry to hear that you had a problem with the WIFI. We have checked with other guests and we shall investigate. We are always available if there is a problem. We are pleased that you had a wonderful time at Little Scypen, despite the minor problem you had with the WIFI and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Owner relations

“It’s a lovely little place.”

With all the immoderate necessities, including tumble dryer. Which we found very useful! The owner is very kind and always there to help with any questions. Beautiful village with its original character definitely worth visiting. There are 3 bays situated approx 20-30 mins walk or drive 5 mins. Definitely recommend it.
Mrs Brettle May 2019

“Just come back from a short may half term stay.”

Lovely lady, very helpful and accommodating, showed us her lovely garden and told us the ideas on which helped create it and on a wet day let us play table tennis in her home. She was able to tell us some great places that were worth a visit nearby. Place very clean and comfy, lovely to hear how she and her husband created their beautiful home together. Lovely touch of a bottle of wine to welcome us on arrival. Would recommend and would stay again.
Mr Burnett April 2019

“Peaceful with nice gardens.”
Mrs Ianos September 2018

“Beautiful and quiet place to stay and well situated for visiting much of Devon and Cornwall.”

However, it is unwise to bring a large vehicle with you as the country lanes around are very narrow as is the entrance to the property.
Mr Daniel August 2018

“The accommodation was perfect for us - comfortable, well-equipped and very private, in a beautiful setting.”

The outstanding memory will be looking at the sunset over the sea from the top of the drive, and also the inspirational garden of Scypen itself, which the owner so kindly showed us.

About the location

RINGMORE

Bigbury-on-Sea 3 miles; Kingsbridge 7 miles; Salcombe 11 miles; Plymouth 15.5 miles.

Ringmore is a small village in Devon, in the South Devon AONB, one mile from the secluded beach and stunning cliffs of Bigbury Bay.
The Saxon church of All Hallows stands majestically over this quintessentially English village. Ringmore is a conservation village with thatched cottages, a peaceful rural pace of life & an award winning pub, the Journey's End Inn serving cask ales, local produce and a friendly welcome. A comprehensively stocked shop and Post Office is located in St Anne's Chapel, a short drive away and they are happy to deliver. Three different paths lead down to Ayrmer Cove from the village, and connect with the South West Coast Path. Footpaths lead to Challaborough Bay and to the golden sandy beaches of Bigbury-on-Sea, from which Burgh Island is reached by the famous Sea Tractor. Bigbury-on-Sea beach is ideal for family holidays. Everyone is sure to marvel at the huge expanse of sand, enjoy exploring the rock pools, or sample the varied watersports available to the more active visitors. If you want to try something different from the body boarding or surfing, then windsurfing and kite-surfing are gaining popularity here, with hire facilities located right on the beach. For peace of mind, there are lifeguards present at Bigbury-on-Sea’s Blue Flag beach from May to September, and a fabulous café specialising in selling organic and local food; whose surf ‘n’ turf is one of the best in the area. A few miles from Ringmore are plenty of delightful South Hams villages, coastal beauty spots and the traditional English market town of Kingbridge on the estuary.

Note: Small parking space; alternative layby parking nearby.
