Family Holiday Cottages in Kingston

Kingston is a small South Hams village in wooded countryside, about a mile from the mouth of the River Erme at Wonwell and within easy reach of quiet coves like Westcombe Beach. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Kingston means you can enjoy village life with the Dolphin pub and reading room at the centre, then drop down to the coast for sand, streams and rockpools when the weather looks good. The lanes and paths around the village give you gentle walking options without needing to go far.

For families, Kingston lends itself to a mix of beach days and slower, village-based time. One morning might mean a walk or short drive to Wonwell or Westcombe for paddling and dam-building in the stream, followed by an afternoon in the garden or a wander around the village. On cooler days you can explore nearby Modbury or take a drive further along the coast. A self-catering stay here gives you the space and flexibility to come and go at your own pace, drying towels, laying out maps and keeping everyone topped up with food between outings.
