Bramblewood - cosy chic, hot tub, close to beach

Bramblewood is a beautifully styled single-storey Devon retreat offering contemporary cottage charm, peaceful rural surroundings, and a luxurious private hot tub. Set within half an acre of mature gardens in the quiet village of Stoketeignhead near Torquay, this serene hideaway is perfect for families, friends, and couples seeking a relaxing countryside escape close to the sea. Sleeping up to six guests, Bramblewood blends comfort, modern design, and nature in perfect harmony.



A Stylish & Welcoming Devon Cottage



Designed for easy, single-level living, Bramblewood is especially well suited for guests who prefer step-free accommodation. Earthy tones and soft textures create a calm, inviting feel throughout, while pops of vibrant colour bring modern flair.



The spacious living room features a plush green sofa and armchair — the ideal spot for catching up after a day on the coast or enjoying a cosy film night on the Smart TV. A stunning double-sided fireplace with a wood-burning stove connects the living room and the bright kitchen-diner, adding warmth and rustic charm to both spaces.



The kitchen offers a cheerful blend of bold yellows and slate greys, complete with everything you need for relaxed self-catering. Seating for six sits beside the feature fireplace, making it the heart of the home for shared meals and morning coffees.



Relaxing Bedrooms for a Restful Stay



Bramblewood sleeps up to six guests across three beautifully furnished bedrooms:

- Master Bedroom – King-size bed, built-in wardrobe, chest of drawers

- Second Bedroom – King-size bed with feature silver-effect headboard, hanging rail, chest of drawers

- Third Bedroom – Bunk beds ideal for children, with storage and clothing rail

The smart family shower room features crisp grey tiling, a double-size shower, and a modern suite.



Private Hot Tub & Large Garden Retreat



To the rear of the cottage, doors lead to a spacious paved terrace overlooking an undulating garden framed by mature roses, laurels, tall trees, and seasonal blossoms. This tranquil outdoor haven includes:



- Private hot tub — perfect for unwinding beneath clear Devon skies

- Large rattan lounge seating — ideal for social drinks & outdoor dining

- BBQ space — for relaxed evenings in nature

- Half an acre of beautiful grounds blending into the surrounding countryside



Whether you're enjoying a sunny family picnic, reading in the shade, or soaking in the hot tub, Bramblewood’s garden is a sanctuary of peace.



Location: Quiet Village Setting Near Coast & Countryside



Nestled in Stoketeignhead, Bramblewood offers peaceful seclusion while being just minutes from the coast and popular South Devon attractions. Nearby:

- Torquay (2 miles) — sandy beaches, promenades, restaurants, cafés

- Teignmouth (5 miles) — three beaches, watersports, vibrant seafront

- Shaldon — charming village with a zoo, scenic beach & local pubs

- Maidencombe — a quiet, unspoilt cove ideal for swimming

- Dartmoor National Park — hiking, cycling & spectacular natural landscapes



Local dining options range from cosy Devon pubs to stylish seaside restaurants, including The Ness in Shaldon and The Angelique Bistro in Torquay.



Guest Access



Bramblewood’s rural setting means some lanes are narrow. The steep driveway leads down to a generous parking area suitable for multiple vehicles.

Mixed - but overall enjoyed our stay.

excellent location, local roads are properly only one car width wide so if you meet a car coming up the road one of you will have reversing to do which was a challenge. mix up with the hot tub not being cleaned so no use of that for first 4 days. In need of a good clean and decorating, some black mould in bathroom and fridge seal, enough that the toilet seat broke in half and I replaced at own cost. internet speed is poor 2-3mbps at best. 4x4 car recommended to get up the drive. Didnt love the neighbours cockerel announcing itself at 7am each day, but its the countryside so....

Lovely property

Overall, we had a relatively seamless and happy stay at this house and enjoyed our time on the south coast. The house is beautifully furnished, if a little tired in places. We had an issue with the hot water on arrival but the property managing company were efficient and communicative and the problem was quickly resolved. Unfortunately, this did leave us to discover that the security camera that is positioned over the patio and hot tub was streaming to a laptop inside the locked boiler cabinet. We can understand why a security camera may be necessary but we were disappointed that this was not clearly stated in the booking information, as is required by Vrbo’s advertising standards.

Ok, aber bei dem Preis haben wir mehr erwartet

Schöne, im Grunde saubere Unterkunft, aber Schimmel im Bad und in einem Schlafzimmer. Geschmackvolle Einrichtung. Schlaf-Gelegenheiten für 6 Personen aber nur 3 Löffel. Ausstattung in der Küche verbesserungswürdig. Keine Auflaufform, nur 2 kleine Töpfe. Keine Wäscheleine. Ausblick von der Terrasse auf einen kleinen Rohbau. Grundstück nicht komplett eingezäunt. Ferienhaus absolut ok, aber nicht für die Preisklasse. Da haben wir mehr erwartet . eineeinenWäscheleineuKüche verbesserungs würdigen. KeinenAus
