The details

You won’t be surprised to hear that The Old Butchers used to be the butchers shop in the pretty village of Stoke Fleming, and this perfectly appointed home retains some of the original features such as the tiles and hanging rails. The mix of industrial chic and stunning soft furnishings give the property a New York studio vibe while the amenities will ensure you have everything you need for a fantastic stay.

The stylishly accessorised, open plan living area contains a comfortable velvet sofa and foot stool with WiFi, a Smart TV and a speaker. This makes a cosy spot to curl up with a book or film or to challenge your companion to some board games. You will also find a selection of guidebooks and novels to keep you entertained.

The compact kitchenette contains a sink, fridge, microwave, Nespresso machine, kettle and toaster, and although there is no oven or hob, the village has a variety of venues where you can indulge your gastronomic desires.

The upstairs mezzanine sleeping area is accessed by a steep wooden stairway and is a cosy loft style space with a comfortably furnished double bed, perfect for getting snug at the end of a long day’s exploring.

The luxury shower room contains a waterfall shower, plenty of fluffy towels and complimentary toiletries.

Large patio doors open out from the open plan living area onto a patio which is furnished with table, chairs and a hanging egg seat. The perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee or glass of wine and watch village life go by. There are even glimpses of the sea, and the area is secure if you want to bring your furry friend with you.

The beautiful town of Dartmouth with its selection of shops, bars and restaurants is nearby, and it is only a 15-minute walk to the award-winning Blackpool Sands Beach. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, whether a keen walker or cyclist, you will love the location right on the Southwest Coast Path. Devon is a slice of heaven and is the perfect year-round destination for a short break or holiday.

Beautiful property. So well laid out and generously equipped. I loved my stay and I'll be back for another!

Great accommodation, lovely coastal location, lovely host (thanks for the scones!). The only thing that could be improved is the payment process. A bank transfer doesn’t inspire much confidence; it would be better if payments were handled via a payment service provider.
