Description of the self catering property

Perfectly named, The Retreat is a beautifully appointed secluded haven set within the extensive walled grounds of Marldon House. This spacious and stylish two bedroom annexed apartment is nestled on the edge of one of Devon's most attractive and celebrated villages, and is the perfect setting for those who want to be close to the coast and all the attractions of Torbay, but yearn to return to the peace and tranquillity of the countryside after a day exploring.

Inside, the apartment is filled with the highest quality interiors and furnishings giving this space a true touch of luxury. The open plan living, kitchen and dining area opens out onto a private terrace area, a lovely spot to enjoy an afternoon bite in the sun or a glass of wine.

Relaxing on the private terrace, looking over the gardens towards the ancient church and multi award winning gastro pub, it is difficult to imagine that there are beaches only a ten minute drive away, and the uniqueness of Dartmoor lies just 10 miles North, along Moor Lane. The apartment is set against a back drop of mature native trees and has a private entrance, parking and a large swath of lawned garden.

Situated just a pleasant five minute stroll away, the Church House Inn is no ordinary village pub! It was the 1st in Devon to be included in the Michelin Good Pub Guide and boasts numerous recent accolades, including Devon's best dining pub of the year 2013! The setting is idyllic, nestled as it is next to the ancient church and overlooking the village cricket green.

The Retreat is a genuinely lovely place for a relaxing break, and is well suited to families or couples that like space. The proximity of the Manor House only adds to the experience, and you can while away the hours in complete privacy, amongst luxurious surroundings. With a beautiful shared garden and plenty of nature walks in the local area, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a walk and take in the stunning countryside that is on your doorstep.
