Family Holiday Cottages in South Huish

South Huish sits in farmland behind the coast near Thurlestone and Hope Cove, with lanes leading out towards the sea and a nature reserve in the valley bottom. Staying in a family holiday cottage in South Huish puts you within a short drive or walk of beaches like Thurlestone Sands and South Milton Sands, where there is soft sand, rockpooling and views of the distinctive Thurlestone rock arch. The setting feels rural and quiet, suiting families who prefer countryside calm over a busy resort.

Days often involve loading the car or buggies for a short hop to the beach, spending hours between the shallows, the rocks and the café, then heading back inland when the wind picks up. At other times, you can explore footpaths through the fields, watch birds in the wetland areas or nip over to Bantham, Hope Cove or Kingsbridge for variety. Having a self-catering cottage here means you can keep life slow and simple, with the coast close but not constantly in your face.
