Set in quiet South Hams countryside between Kingsbridge and the coast at Start Bay, Chillington is a strong choice for groups who want space without feeling cut off. A large holiday cottage in Chillington allows multiple families to settle into spacious, self-catered accommodation, often with big gardens and plenty of bedrooms, with easy access to country lanes, the local pub and waterside villages like East Portlemouth and Torcross, ideal for coastal walks and a well-earned refreshment.
Start your mornings slowly, with free-flowing breakfast around a big kitchen table, while the early birds head out for a stretch on the lanes and coastal paths or perhaps a sunrise cold water swim at nearby Slapton Sands. There is usually plenty of room to keep children occupied while the rest of the group ease into the day, before heading out together to the beach or into Kingsbridge for a wander, an ice cream or a bit of shopping. Evenings are just as relaxed, whether that means cooking together at home, settling into a generous living space for games and conversation, or walking down to the Bear and Blacksmith for supper. With its rural setting, straightforward access to local beauty spots and good nearby amenities, Chillington suits larger groups who want a calm base within easy reach of the South Devon coast.
