ABOUT THE LOCAL AREA.
The famous coastal village of Thurlestone is renowned for its abundance of thatched pink and cream-washed cottages, its 13th Century church, the village shop and the traditional local inn. Backed by rolling farmland and a sprawling cliff top golf course, the village is ideally situated for those wanting to explore the locality, especially with the benefit of the South Devon Heritage path which runs through Thurlestone.
There are two main beaches at Thurlestone. The smaller of these, Thurlestone Sands, is near to The Thurlestone golf club and at the Southern end of the beach, you can explore the rock pools around the spectacular arched rock to which the village owes its name. The larger beach is further along the coast in the direction of South Milton. Both have fine shingle and sand coverings and are in sheltered locations. Surfing, windsurfing and canoeing are all popular activities at the beach and, during the summer months, a range of sports equipment can be hired. There are many other beaches to explore along this beautiful coastline, including Hope Cove, Bigbury and Bantham. Nearby attractions include Salcombe, (famous for sailing), Agatha Christie's Burgh Island, historical market towns of Totnes and Modbury, Dartmouth, Dittisham and Dartmoor.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and 5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and an electric kettle.

Perfect position in a lovely village.
The position is excellent for nearby beaches and to the coastal path for walking.
The village shop is very well stocked for day to day needs.
The refrigerator is a little small if 10 adults were staying which could result in more supermarket runs.
Overall an excellent stay.

Great location, well equipped to a decent standard. For the price would like more outside space, only a very small garden that’s well in the shade

Great place for the extended family.
Comfortable and spacious for three couples and two children. We would have appreciated more provision for small children - a stair gate, high chair and travel cot take up a lot of space in a family car but would fit easily into the property’s shed!

Thurlestone is a great place for an English seaside holiday
We had a great week at Shepherds’s Patch. However the phot is a little misleading as the tress around the house are now very high. This means the house is on the dark side with no view. The garden is small with limited space to sit out other than at the table.
The interior of the house is excellent with a very spacious kitchen and wonderful large table .
Easy to get to the village shop, the pub and local beaches.

First the directions to the property said travel through Modbury and Averton Gifford , you do go through Modbury but not Averton Gifford. YOU PASS AVERTON GIFFORD. The directions should be amended.
The internet at the property is dire, suggest you get a booster. When I first booked the property one of my main criteria was that it had a washer and dryer which was the initial description at this property, Its not until you go into the whole description that you find that it is a combination washer dryer. if you ever had one of these you will find it is useless. when you have 6 adults and 4 children you need a washing machine and a dryer.I will certainly be more careful next time.
It did not help that the drying area outside was abysmal covered in leaves did not get any air flow of sunshine the line was filthy and the drain from the over flow toilet was blocked which did not help the area. It also made the corner of the lounge smell damp.
It also did not help that there was no airer to hang clothes on despite showing on the description.
The toilet seat in the back yellow bedroom was loose, there seemed to be a lot of spiders around which seemed to amuse the children.
The cold tap in the shower bathroom of the double bedroom was not working properly.
Your letter also said that there was no hair dryer. There was. !
There is a mat outside the front door but no mat inside which makes for a area which can be wet. we always take our shoes of inside any house.
I think a note about reaching the property by stairs would be advisable it did not matter to us but may do to some people.
The kitchen was well equipped other than the washer/dryer.
We enjoyed our holiday, the weather was kind to us.

Lovely well equipped cottage
Great cottage for a large group
Well equipped ,warm and lots of hot water
Only niggle was lack of mirrors in top floor bedrooms and The guest information folder probably could do with updating and more comprehensive information ...it took awhile to work out how the Range ovens worked
Not helped by markings on the gauges bring almost worn away.

Lovely cottage much more spacious than it looks. The garden is small but is enclosed which was ideal
