    “It looked very inviting.”

    We found the upside-down layout inconvenient; also, the bedrooms were very small and cramped. The main issue, however, was parking the car. Only room for one car, and next to a very busy coast road. Access for pulling out was a nightmare because of blind spots. Overall, the place is a bit isolated. and we will not be going back there

    Thank you for your feedback. The listing states parking for one car and most find it adequate and as the cottage only sleeps 3 hopefully only one car is needed. The cottage is compact and in order to make the most of the views it was decided the upside down layout was best to create an open plan living space on the first floor, however, this does impact the amount of room on the ground floor to fit in 2 bedrooms a bathroom and a WC/laundry space as well as the hall and stairwell. We tried to portray the space in the photo's and the standard double as you see in one of the photos takes up nearly all the bed recess in the larger of the two bedrooms. Isolation and remoteness is subjective and whilst amenities are not within walking distance, the nearest village Strete is a short drive away and Dartmouth is only 15 to 20 minutes away. I agree the turnout on to the road can prove hazardous and needs caution and some guests have said they prefer to turn left towards Strete and then turn in the village if they want to proceed in the Kingsbridge direction. I will catch up with the letting agent to see if we can make any of what you raise clearer. Property Owner

The property

½ mile from the centre of Strete, set above the A379 between Slapton and Dartmouth and with spectacular sea views along the coast between them, a stunning, Grade II listed, upside down coach house.

Dating from 1832, it has been beautifully refurbished.

Terrific views too from the private, good-sized, enclosed garden with lawn and patio (table/chairs).

Inside, elegant and relaxed with natural linens and gentle hues.

Front door to stairs up to open-plan living/dining/kitchen with woodburner, Smart TV and views to Start Point in one direction and the mouth of the Dart estuary in the other.

Beautiful kitchen area (slimline dishwasher, microwave, fridge with small freezer compartment, electric cooker).

Downstairs, two bedrooms - a pretty double, and a single.

Bathroom (bath, separate shower, washbasin, underfloor heating).

Ground floor cloakroom with loo, basin and utility area with washing machine.

Due to the age and character of the property please note that the staircase is quite narrow with a curve at the top leading into the sitting room.

A fabulous, romantic coastal spot at any time of year.

Strete: cliff-top village (pub, PO/shop) ½ mile walk along a well-used road to the shingle beach (pay and display car parking also available at the beach).

Coast Path walk to secret cove (¾ mile).

Blackpool Sands (coarse sand, The Venus Café, Restaurant, Takeaway and Watersports), 1½ miles, and, a mile away, the magnificent crescent of Slapton Sands and Slapton Ley nature reserve (birdwatching, walks).

Dartmouth (restaurants, cinema, river trips, steam railway), 5 miles'.

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

About the location

STRETE

Dartmouth 4.8 miles

Strete is a village looking over Start Bay just south of Dartmouth. The hills and countryside that encircle the village to the west converge on the memorable coastline forming one of the most visually striking images in the South Hams. There is a post office and general store in the village along with a lovely church plus the well renowned Laughing Monk restaurant. There is a small community area where you can picnic and walk your dog with its wildlife section and notable views of Start Bay. A few short miles in either direction brings you to the magical crescent shaped family beach at Blackpool Sands and the three mile stretch of Slapton Sands. Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon.
