    “Mabels view is simply a secret peaceful location.”

    Peaceful is one word I would use to describe this property. The surroundings are very natural and the tweets of birds in the trees and hedges around you will have you guessing on types flying in and out of here. Lots of wild life and the light free pollution of the clear nights will have no problem seeing the milky way and not many places have this anymore. The property has a great shower also superfast wifi. Mabels view is down to earth and not the Savoy Hotel. It's a wonderful place hidden ...

    Peaceful is one word I would use to describe this property. The surroundings are very natural and the tweets of birds in the trees and hedges around you will have you guessing on types flying in and out of here. Lots of wild life and the light free pollution of the clear nights will have no problem seeing the milky way and not many places have this anymore. The property has a great shower also superfast wifi. Mabels view is down to earth and not the Savoy Hotel. It's a wonderful place hidden by narrow country lanes.The owners are great welcoming people and the touch of eggs, butter, milk and more left for you on arrival just adds to the hospitality. Finally there is a great pub nearby the Fortescue Arms that do great evening meals using local produce and are independently run but you need to book in advance as we found out.

The property

Mabel's View is positioned just outside the sleepy village of East Allington.

This single-storey holiday property is attached to the owners home and enjoys a tranquil setting, welcoming families, couples and their canine companions for a relaxing break in the heart of the South Hams district of South Devon.

Enter into the open-plan living area and make yourself at home on the sofa, before switching on the TV and kicking back for the evening.

Cross the threshold into the kitchen, where you can conjure up something tasty with assistance from the electric oven and ceramic hob, before gathering at the dining table and toasting to a much-needed escape.

Spend balmy evenings on the garden patio, settled at the picnic bench whilst your pooch roams the lawn.

Before calling it a day, freshen up in the shower room and then find your way to either of the double bedrooms.

Choose Mabel’s View for a relaxing escape to the South of Devon.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1133449, together they sleep eight guests.

About the location

EAST ALLINGTON, DEVON

Kingsbridge 4.5 miles; Dartmouth 8.7 miles; Salcombe 10.2 miles

The lovely little village of East Allington lies in the South Hams district of South Devon. Engulfed by stunning countryside and situated just a little way off the beaten track, this village is home of one of the region’s most popular pubs, and provides enticing rural walks from each direction. The Fortescue Arms is well-known for its warm welcome and good service. Visitors can bring their dog along and sit at the bar with a much needed drink, after a venturesome day exploring the local area. The market town of Kingsbridge lies south of East Allington, at the head of a marine estuary. Walk along the Kingsbridge Quay, wander through the narrow alleys or visit the Shambles, an Elizabethan market arcade. During the summer season there are river excursions to Salcombe to see the abundant wildlife in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This popular destination for walkers and families, offers two pretty beaches, as well as the National Trust property Overbeck’s. Why not have a more adventurous day and try out the watersports available on the estuary including surfing and kayaking or take a long walk along the South West Coast Path? Try the locally sourced seafood served in many of the restaurants, pubs, cafés and delicatessens. Further afield is the waterfront city of Plymouth housing the National Marine Aquarium, Barbican Quay and plenty of night life, including theatres, restaurants and bars. This is a wonderful region waiting to be explored in the heart of Devon.
