Landward Cottage, located in Kingsbridge, Devon, is a charismatic holiday accommodation that can host up to five guests. This cottage is one of two situated at a picturesque lighthouse, which offers stunning sea views to the south and west, as well as across Start Bay to the east. The lighthouse itself is positioned on a dramatic headland, providing a unique and scenic backdrop for visitors looking to relax and enjoy nature.
The historical significance of the lighthouse adds to the appeal of Landward Cottage. Built in 1863, the lighthouse was electrified in 1959 and automated in 1993, showcasing its evolution over the years. The location is somewhat secluded, accessible via narrow country lanes that lead four miles from the main road. The final approach includes a half-mile private, walled, tarmac drive, which is shared with walkers taking advantage of the South West Coast Path.
Guests at Landward Cottage can explore the breathtaking clifftop walks available on the South West Coast Path, allowing them to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area. For those seeking sandy beaches, several options are conveniently located within a 20-minute drive, including East Portlemouth, Slapton, and Blackpool Sands, making it easy for guests to enjoy a variety of coastal experiences.
In addition to Landward Cottage, the site also features Beacon Cottage, which accommodates six guests, making it an ideal destination for larger groups or families traveling together. The pet-friendly nature of these cottages ensures that guests can bring their furry friends along, enhancing the overall holiday experience.
