Rockpool is a secluded development of only 9 larch clad holiday homes in a truly peaceful area of outstanding natural beauty in the magnificent South Hams of South Devon and yet just 3 miles from a breathtaking coastline. This incomparable location, in a sheltered coombe full of trees, has an air of exclusivity. Formerly the grounds of a corn mill dating from the 16th century, the gently wooded slopes lead to a flower rich meadow at the southern end, affording beautiful views of the wooded coombes beyond. The development is positioned on the banks of the Gara Brook and blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings. The lodges have a tree house ambiance positioned as they are in and amongst the trees and shrubs with abundant wildlife all around. Flowering shrubs disguise their presence, fusing them, almost imperceptibly, into the landscape. This is a sacrosanct refuge, a place in which to relax, away from it all, and yet it is merely a five minute drive to the exquisite and exciting sweeping seaboard.

The historic nearby village of Strete, overlooking the bay, provides a lively community with character pubs and a thriving shop. The tranquillity of the direct environment is complemented by the close proximity of the outstanding coastal hotspots within 5 to 20 minutes drive. The comparative sophistication and bustle of Dartmouth and Salcombe are only 6 and 12 miles away respectively. All manner of seaside resorts are found locally; the idiosyncratic Burgh Island, intriguing lost village of Hallsands, expansive sands of Slapton, bijou Blackpool Sands and picturesque Dittisham are just a few of the obvious choices. These and all other inland treasures, such as the Georgian village of Modbury and the artistic and bohemian Totnes, are fascinating neighbours to discover on repeated occasions throughout the year. This area enjoys the kindest of climates; extended summer sun, kind winters and early spring allows for the longest of comfortable welcomes. Wherever you look, an exquisite picture is painted. This is an inspirational location filled with charm and charisma.
