Two miles inland from the broad sweep of Slapton Sands and the freshwater lagoon of Slapton Ley and tucked in a peaceful, pastoral fold of the rolling hills of this lovely area of the South Hams, is Little Pittaford. Attached on one side, the cottage, formerly a barn, has been totally renovated to a very high standard and offers guests exceptionally comfortable, attractive and welcoming accommodation in surroundings which take you away from today's hustle and bustle. The front door leads out from the living room to a private patio area where a quiet sun downer and al fresco dining can be enjoyed whilst overlooking beautiful gardens and surrounding countryside. Doorstep walks along lanes and public footpaths lead through the National Nature Reserve along board walks and on down to the sea. Welcome pack provided.

'Everything we could wish for in a cottage and more! Such a warm welcome from Jill and Chris - we will certainly recommend you to our family and friends.' The Rutlands.

'This is one of the most peaceful, tranquil places we have stayed. We were both really in need of a place to wind down and relax. It is a truly lovely cosy cottage, we felt immediately at home. Cosy cottage, great people, cute dog, best bread, the only disappointment was that we couldn't stay for longer.' Cathy and Craig

Door from the garden opens directly into the living room that has a polished wood floor with rugs and is comfortably furnished with a three seater sofa, armchair, flat screen TV/DVD, radio/CD and dining table.

The owners' garden extends out in front of the cottage and a pretty brook edges the garden.

Note: Little Pittaford does not allow pets, however The Dog Lodge (http://www.dog-lodge.co.uk/) is just a short walk up the lane from the cottage. Your pet can be housed here, visited and taken out for walks or day's out, so there is no need to leave that special friend behind.
