About this house rental
The first floor consists of three double bedrooms with wash-basins, a bathroom with instantaneous shower over the bath and a separate toilet. The two front bedrooms, one double and the other twin bedded, have superb views over the Ley and the sea ideal for the lazy twitcher ('birdwatcher!'). The rear double-bedroom has a pleasant view up over the fields towards Widewell valley. On the ground floor there is a dining room and comfortably furnished lounge with colour television. A large well-equipped kitchen with electric cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer, automatic washing machine and dining table overlooks and has access to the enclosed back garden with clothes line. There is a patio with garden furniture and a barbecue for outdoor entertaining.
The cottage has its own water supply automatically pumped from its' well to the storage tank in the roof space. Heating when required is by new Economy 7 night storage heaters. There is exceptionally good 4G coverage. Myrtle Cottage is situated in the grounds of 'Daybreak', the home of the owner so, should there possibly be a problem, help is close at hand. The expression most commonly used by our regular tenants is that "We are not only coming on holiday but coming home."

Vanessa and I fell in love with the house from the moment we stepped over the threshold, especially when we found home made cake on the kitchen table to welcome us. The house had a homely feel to it, was clean, tidy, well appointed with spacious rooms, comfortable beds and beautiful views of Slapton Ley at any time of the day. If you're into photography, a night shot of the Ley from the bedroom windows is worth the time setting up. Sandra, the host, lives in the house "next door" and is available for any questions or request's and she made a visit to us to check that we had settled in without any problems and to offer local advice regarding local amenities etc, which was much appreciated. 5 minutes walk away is a farm shop with all the essential's and theres also a coffee shop with cakes etc. Well worth a visit for the coffee and cake and it being the only shop for some considerable distance from the village. The restaurants and eateries on the sea-front suffered very badly from the 2026 winter storms when they were virtually demolished (U-Tube it) but they're being repaired as I write. There are now 2 x business's open for food and drink and they are well worth the money. A tip. Don't trust your sat nav to get to Torcross or you'll end up in some incredibly narrow lanes which are little more than tarmack tracks. Stick to the main road route of Exeter - Totnes - Kingsbridge - Torcross unless you like meeting towed caravans in one of those lanes.

It is a lovely cottage with a fully equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are spacious and they were neatly arranged.The host is very kind and helpful and we enjoyed our stay here. South Devon is beautiful and we would definitely like to come and stay here again. Thanks
