Summary:
Beautiful Devon Hideaway Near Salcombe
Set in the picturesque village of Malborough, just moments from Salcombe and the stunning South Hams coastline, Pippin Cottage blends rural Devon living with the fresh, breezy spirit of the sea. This beautifully presented three-storey cottage is wrapped in nautical blues and sun-washed whites, echoing the area's proud maritime heritage.
The Space:
Step through the door and into an inviting space filled with light, contemporary décor and calming seaside tones. The relaxed lounge features two comfortable sofas — ideal for snuggling up after days exploring the South West Coast Path. One sofa can be converted into a double bed for occasional use (linen available on request before arrival).
Greyed oak flooring leads effortlessly to the well-equipped galley kitchen, complete with everything required for easy holiday cooking, from relaxed breakfasts to cosy evening meals at home.

Ascend once more to the charming master bedroom, set into the eaves and offering spectacular countryside views stretching across the rolling hills of the South Hams — an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Wake to peaceful rural scenery and gentle morning light.
